Hey guys,
 
I know that you have been doing less phone reviews. Thought maybe a review of Fairphone 3 might be nice. Think is drops in a month or so.

Well its finally done.... For now.... Thank you everyone on the forums for your help and @LinusTech for the build inspiration and for signing my wafer at LTX. Was able to get the entire LTT team, Gamers Nexus, JaysTwoCents, BitWit, Pauls Hardware and Der8auer!

Goal of this build:
Build the best gaming/workstation desktop possible for $3500. This includes:
·         A computer desk made of walnut wood
·         In keeping with my house aesthetic = Wife Approved
·         Hardline watercooling
·         Raid Cold Storage 
·         Decent audio for occasional video/audio editing

Very open to feedback and advice. I will continue to update as I go along. (Last Updated 1/1/2020)

Don't know anyone going to LTX. Would love to put together a team 4-5 people to play LAN games with. I'll put together a Discord and maybe we can play a couple games together. When an official game list comes out we can practice a little bit ?

He's really anal about cable management.

Ah yes, the foreman showed up to keep you in line I see

@Perky1977 I was going to do the same thing maybe I can setup a Google doc. Was going to rent a car and drive people back and forth from the convention center to LTT office. Maybe charge a couple dollars to pay for a rental for the day and gas.

@LinusTech RIP maybe next year. At least this year I have a tour and can pull an all nighter playing games hahaha. Can't wait! 
 

5pm PST but really like 530
