Good point! All the hands you see are his, a few I have his face in it, but I'll make it a point to get more full pics of him with it.

Ok...a little bit of a decision time now..
Should we start the wiring now and install the GPU after? Or install the GPU & then do the wiring?
Thoughts?

The case is huge, so I don't think it will be cramped at all. I'm just thinking it might be easier to see all the labels on the motherboard without the GPU on it.

Yes it might be easier to see the labels. I say do all your Mobo relates stuff now then put the GPU in and go from there.
