Looks like the power supply enclosure says Fractal on it. Looks a lot like the Fractal Define C case.

Fractal makes good cases. I have my computer built into a Node 202 case. She's tiny but cranks it up to 11 when you want it to. Today it's working on some CFD problems while I'm sitting at home trying to make sure I can do my **** for another job.
They do make good cases. I built my pc into a define r6. It was very modular and has a ton of room for expand ability. Also had plenty of room to fit a pump/reservoir combo for my full cooling loop.

Been a while for me using my optical drive. I think I watched a Blu Ray one day in it to justify having it.

GTX 1080 (used) will be here tomorrow
^ Should be here by the end of the day. Depending on when it gets delivered I'll install it tonight.
You gonna put that thing on a water loop?

I don’t use it often, but it’s nice to have the option.

Nope.
My CPU is aircooled and the GPU will be the same. I am not a fan of nVidia cards having the feature where the fans don't come on until 60C so I will change that. I have a custom fan profile on my GTX 970.

Game changer in a box. Just sayin. At full synthetic load the hottest my loop has gotten so far is 53°C

$240 isn't bad. Just too much work for me to do that.
My hottest temps are about 15C higher than your hottest temp.
