Ghetto VR PC for the family.

[Not_A_Spider]

Dad wanted a VR headset and asked if I could do a PC for under $500. I said heck yeah I could.

 

Case is my grandma's old HP desktop, gutted. Started with PSU and fans because I had those lying around. From an old iBuyPower prebuilt that's been really reliable so far.

 

 

Who needs fan mounts? Not this guy.

 

 

Did an AMD cpu because I never made a system with one before. Ryzen 5 2600.

 

 

We have post!

 

 

Looking good.

 

 

Got the GPU used after the crash.

 

 

Not even close, almost like I planned it (I didn't).

 

 

Like a glove

 

 

Who needs proper GPU mounts? Not me, no sir. The case didn't have screw holes for a big boy GPU so I had to improvise. The PC is kept on its side anyways, so there isn't too much to worry about.

 

 

Glamour shot. At first I didn't think I needed to change out the 5400rpm 2TB that was in the old computer.

 

 

Soon realized my mistake. Got an NVME for myself and put my old SSD in there.

Lmao, this reminds me of my janky prebuilt with a $25 craigslist 9800 GTX

Ghetto approved, only because you used cable ties and electrical tape. Also because its almost as jank as I had mine before I got a case for it. Had it for two months on the cardboard box because I originally wanted to do a wall mounted pc but then couldn't be bothered to make custom cables.

lol this is honestly great. I like seeing janky stuff, just for a good chuckle. I mean, the pc never moves so who cares honestly? This makes me wanna do a jank build now..

You should see my old car then, it failed almost every point of the last MOT it had. Would have cost me six times the value of the car to make it pass. So I gave it to a friend who uses it on his farm. I miss it, because the car I drive now can't be driven in the same "drive it like u stole it" way
