Bonus points go to anyone who can spot my repair to the motherboard

Don't the polys on Vcore look a bit small???

[c_hegge]

Nah, there's plenty more of them under the CPU Cooler. That wasn't what I did, though.

My only other guess is that you replaced the caps at VRM input.

[c_hegge]

Nope. Caps are all original. If you look very carefully near the Audio header, you may note that the Ethernet controller is missing (as well as some heat discolouration). It failed and shorted internally after a lightning strike, and the board wouldn't POST. After removing it with my hot air gun, the board came back to life (albeit without the onboard Ethernet working).

Nice review! Those are nice cases. I've built about 150 computers in them at work. Although the PSU's we get in ours are the IP-S400Dq3-2

[c_hegge]

The DQ3-2 variant is 80plus certified, so that's cool if you get those.

I also use those cases a lot when building PCs (usually, I use either them or the EM-035).
