Comments
I chose the case because it's like my Mac Pro 2010 (size and handles). The rest of the components were from the recommended parts list here on tonymacx86.

What Works
Far as I can tell everything except as noted below.
What Doesn't Work
ALC1220 is giving me some difficulty. For now HDMI audio is working. Will need to figure this out at some point.
Onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth which I understand is normal. I will look into a compatible solution in the future.
Benchmarks
Closing
Thanks for reading my build description!
Feel free to make comments as this is my first build. So much more to learn about this and testing of new areas.
