I have one question : Where would you connect the DVD since you have used all available IDE and SATA controllers to attach your disks ?

The whole point was a dream system. Mine is EATX. Yours is a frigging wall! See the difference? You couldnt do anything worthwhile on something that big anyway. A total waste. You'd need 100 computers just to put it to use. lol
