Hakua is a system I built from a Basic Talos™ II Bundle (Dual CPU) plus components sourced at local retailers, as detailed below.

The BitFenix case works reasonably well, although the mounting stud compatibility leaves something to be desired.
The following mismatches between front panel and motherboard capabilities exist:
- There are no NIC link or Fan fail LEDs on the front panel (not a big issue)
- There are no Identify or NMI buttons on the front panel (again, no biggie)
- The front panel has two USB3 and two USB2 connectors, but the MB only provides two USB3 and one USB2 connection internally, so one USB2 connector remains unconnected
