Kinben: The First Build to Ever Make Me Literally Cry In Frustration

This started as an idea for an ITX machine to put behind my monitor to save desk space. It turned into a nightmare that fought me even after putting it together. I have never cried building a computer until now, with how difficult this "it should go together easily" build was.

Before anyone asks, the graphics card stays just as cool as on my open air bench, and the CPU on a Prime95 run after 45min didn't get higher than 69C. The fans never went above 70%. At idle, the CPU sits at ~40C.
