temporary warstation for now:

kinda ghetto with that table but I have a nice fluffy pillow so my ass doesn't get sore from owning for extended periods of time.
ty once again to all who contributed suggestions to building this jet engine.

You should flip the PSU, right now the fan has no room to intake air. When you bottom mount a PSU you should flip it so that the labels are upside down.

there is actually a grate with a screen on the bottom of the case for the psu air intake. the screen is also removable and washable. Lian Li sure knows how to make sweet cases.

ya the psu was quite expensive, I was going with a cheaper corsair psu but I had it blow out on me (was doa/malfunctioning, blew up and sparks came out of the back when I tried to turn the power on) so when I sent it back rma I went with a newer version corsair put out. It's pricey but I really like the modular design a lot clearer inside the comp than the psu I went with originally. and ya I know its a bit overkill but I rather have a solid system that I can upgrade 2-4 years down the line with whatever graphic cards they come out with and not have to worry about it. so I didn't mind the investment. I had an old comp before where it lasted me for years and it got to the point that I killed the psu on it by overloading it with upgrades, so I didn't want to fuck with it just got a solid psu I know is no nosense even if the price is a bit high.

I still think it might benefit from being reversed. There's still gonna be more room for intake if the fan points up, and it will help remove hot air from your video card.
