Changed The Case

Changed The case for a better looking one, The Old HP Case I used was awful for thermals and the fans were loud as balls. So I picked up a Acer Veriton M4 mid tower case and gave it mounts for a future 240mm rad if I decide too. Temps are much better now. Also got windows 10 pro out of it too.
