Z97 would have been a better investment unless this was made prior to Z97.

you don't know the half of it, the back panel would barely close, but internally it looks okay haha.

The hardware side is what its all about ;)

Trust me, i have to use my legs to push the right panel in order to close it lol.

Edit:

I dont like the 8pin eps routing and the 2 ram dimms look kinda dumb :P

but other than that cool built :)
