So I'm guessing starting with a teardown is a tad unusual, but as I find myself stripping down one machine to rebuild the next it feels fitting to capture how far we got.
My self imposed rules for my shift build were never to destroy the lines of the outside, no extra vents, just use static pressure to get the heat out through the tiny vents. But I've been running it without glass so long now that it was obviously I'd let that slip by the wayside.
The plan was to keep the parts sympathetic to what the case could handle. It started with a 170w GTX 1070 Strix OC, but then work changed, so 4K at home was "necessary", and the 300w of the 3080 FE was just too much. The plan was originally to watercool the GPU, and I'll finally be trying that out on my next build, but on a 280mm rad, not a 120 + a slim 120 with a 15mm fan. I'm still happy that I got fan and rad mounted in 37mm, and without destroying the the original 140mm fan mounts, so it's now been restored should I ever want to pop any hardware back in it.
My favourite part of this build was the 15AWG silver wire used for the 24pin/28wire connector to the MB. It would catch the light from the MB RGB and reflect it all through the case.
