I did do some small changes beside the monitor and the sli, like swaping the Hitachi 7k1000 2.5 hdd for a WD 3tb Red mostly because of the space on the back is limited for CM. I also swaped the stock AP181 for the AP182 that allow much lower rpms controlled by the bios, you can read more on Taming the beast, Silverstone AP182. Changed the CPU cooler fans to Prolimatech mostly because of the orientation of the case, i wanted full ball bearing fans as the AP182 are, you can see more testing on Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 12 & 14. What took most of the time was swapping the fans.... its not that hard, but it does take some time to take the knobs out and install them on the FT05, and working inside is a little rough, much harder than on the R4, there is very little effort from Silverstone into adding the user with the cable management.
The build is inaudible @3ft, at 1am with almost no background noise, haven't stress tested it, but seems to be idling a little better than the Fractal Design Define R4. I gotta play with the knobs of the AP182 to establish the highest rpms i can run the fans without hearing them, but i run out of time this weekend =(. I did some very brief gaming to test, nothing demanding, just playing LOL at 4k for an hour, and here are temps,

I still have to do some testing and really work on the cable management on the back.... the only complaint i have about the case is there is little space to do all the CM, but its not that bad, just i feel they could have given us an extra 5mm and more hooks, would make it much easier.

I still also have to do some stress testing to see if there are gains over the R4, if i manage to get some spare time in the next weeks i'll try to post some, but really busy atm.
Thanks for taking the time and looking at my current rig, if you have any questions let me know, ill try to answers them as best as i can.
