     My son Noah won the spelling bee at his school this year, he beat everyone... even though he's much younger & not even in the highest grade level!  Anyways I built him this as a trophy... then presented it to him on his 10th birthday.  Now he can get started on his way to Stanford... then to somewhere in the Silicon Valley as a computer scientist or engineer (hopefully).  The build started out kinda sloppy... I just pieced everything together to post it.  After it posted, I removed the HDD plastic cage & relocated the HDD/SSD up to the 5.25" bay using an adaptor... that little mod really neatens up the inside of the 200R & allowed us to use just 1 modular cable for both drives.  Then I did my best effort at cable management... he should be happy for awhile.  Right now he just uses this pc to play Minecraft like a boss!

Pressure him to become ceo of nvidia/AMD and then you get free stuff!

Yeah that would be cool, but all I can do is tell him "Son... you're going to Stanford and you're gonna be an engineer."  I have no idea what ceo's of GPU companies do (I wish I did though).  I can also teach him how to golf... I know there's good money in that also, plus it's hella fun.

Golf takes more athleticism than you may realize... have you ever walked up and down the hills of a 7200 yard course carrying a 50lb bag on your back?  That's just the physical part... the mental part of the game is even rougher.  It is the hardest sport in the world.
