Decided to build a mITX system. It all started as a $300 pfsense build and then over a course of a couple weeks I switched parts out to make it a small gaming/theater rig.

Making some changes and fixing some stuff. Issue with the Asus Impact the vertical power board makes a couple cooler tight. The only recommended cooler for this case is the h100i as the rad is thinner. The h100i gtx is thicker making the fans hit the vertical power board. The h80i I bought will not fit in the side, back or front. The case hits the rad in the back and I don't want to modify the case by bending or cutting. The fans in the front are threaded in the care and not open like a standard fan hole. 
  So i got lucky and found brand new h100i's in stock at corsair. Then found a extended psu bracket to allow larger psu's and still keep the 3.5 hdd bracket. Then yanking the cx850 psu and replacing with ax860i..

The key of saying this is a budget rig is not saying that it is a "low budget" rig lol.

Although the only thing I can think of when I see the matrix card is how weird the

lines are nowadays.  Nice powerful little machine though!

i5 4670k| Asrock H81M-ITX| EVGA Nex 650g| WD Black 500Gb| H100 with SP120s| ASUS Matrix 7970 Platinum (just sold)| Patriot Venom 1600Mhz 8Gb| Bitfenix Prodigy. Build log in progress

I kinda like the way the new 980ti looks. They are obviously moving towards dark grayish and orange on some recent released products. Doesn't make sense to me as the whole ROG product line is black and red. A lot of people don't like black and red nowadays it seems. Probably played out somewhat.

Going to rebuild it with a new MOBO with M.2 support and an even faster CPU
