I'm happy to say the build made it to Quakecon with only minor blemishes, set up and running in the BYOC now.
Wish me luck on Saturday!

“Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible, and when I leave you will finally understand why storms are named after people.”
FIRST PLACE!!! Wooo hooo!

Nice on the win! Congrats man.
Thanks very much guys! I won an impressive pile of loot, some cash (that will help defer the cost of creation) and a full page in the upcoming issue of CPU magazine!
Final pics:
Whew! They kept asking me so I figured it up and I have just over three hundred hours in this thing. That amazed most people at the con, but I know that's a drop in the sea compared to a lot of guys doing this sort of thing.
Regardless, I'm really happy with the final result and a lot of other people were too. I literally spent two days just answering questions on it at the con. I went there to cover the event for another site but since this was the only computer I brought with me I couldn't get any work done. 5 minutes without someone asking me about it was rare.
That's all right, I took it down there to show it off and I'm glad I did. Pretty sure I'll be back next year too.
Now to come up with a theme....

You know, I only heard that about a dozen times last weekend.
Were you there???
