Sweet build.

Which EATX motherboard trays are you using?

 

[rthorntn]

Thanks Patrick, the trays are Mountain mods with the backplate replaced with a shorter piece (to keep the case height down)

Hmmm sounds good. Wish I had your budget. Spotswood cases are mint too!!
Which one is Jekyll though, and which one mr Hyde?
