I was just thinking what does this have to do with FMP? Or are you just borrowing "Mithril"?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

i saw this a while ago, and it was cool then... now it's 
Thanks for the many comments guys!
Scotch Tape: I used this cause this was what I had, I also used some electrical tape when I ran out Remember all the taping was done on the rear of the mobo plate, i.e. the case cover comes on and 'ta da' you don't see jack
The Sub: I need to get around to doing this some time. Earlier I measured the speaker wire for the hight off the floor, so I need to buy another 3m or so to get it on the floor.
Mithril: I needed a name for the new machine and I was watching FMP at the time as I was like 'oooh, Mithril would be a nice name!'...and there ya have it!
4x TFTs: With the current 2 TFT setup I feel I have way too many windows stacked up on each. Ofcourse you can argue that it would be lame to have a display for each window (duh) but I feel that if I at least went 'dual monitor' with the right hand comp (SpawnBox2) I would be able to get stuff done in a smoother fashion. I may get the 4th TFT for Mithril so I can have winamp, mbm and some other apps on that, along with IRC, while I surf on the center TFT. The possibility of going for 3x TFTs is much higher as I will be getting a Shuttle soon and when I'm not at Uni I could have the 'Shuttles' TFT being the wing of SpawnBox2 as I can use the 'source' swap feature there (DVI to Shuttle, VGA to SpawnBox2).
Just to wrap this up, got a new AC installed today, one of these funky split type ones and the machines run alot cooler of course, I'm seeing 4 - 5DegC drop with the AC on for around 25mins...
I am quite busy these days working on my 'Remote Firework Ignition Station', and I hope to have it completed by the end of the month!

I've decided to take you up on your suggestion
The mess was growing and the mess was getting worse!
I've designed the new setup to look a bit like the image below:
I would like to thank you and Drunkinsquirl for giving me some ideas! I will be going to Singapore on the 29th of this month and I will be purchasing a KVM (finally) as it looks like I'll be having 3 boxes now (and that's 3TFTs!).
Will post back when I get it all setup! Thanks guys!
