I'm looking forward to hearing some feedback as I plan to continue building more rigs and could do with some critique so I can improve next time. I am though planning a much smaller micro ATX build next time, one I can at least lift.
Heavy computers (same here) are not meant to be carried around, so don't worry :) Good luck with your new project - keep going!
