Decided to go with a different build: Here she is with pics. More photos coming.
That is not where the computer will stay, still running tests, and overclocking.
Monitors are pulled forward and have a location on the floor if mixing/mastering.
I have a whole back wall with other monitoring setup as well.

I will be doing a full photo shoot soon, as well as all the pics of the build, when I get some time.
Here are some quick shots...
The computer is fully setup, just have to install some
other programs. The computer will not be on that glass table, it will be going under the desk on its platform.
I have some rubber feet that its stock feet will be sitting on, bringing the bottom up 2 inches more in height.
The Dell Inspiron music production computer is on the left, under the desk, peeking out under the chair.
This is a finished basement. 25'x13'x8'. Acoustically tuned and treated by me using acoustic measurement equipment
that I have. Setup for mixing/mastering audio, and vocal recording can be done anywhere, but I have a place for that as well.

Floor to ceiling corner bass traps with 32" face, wall and ceiling panels, front wall custom built @ 9" thick.
