New Work PC

NinJake · April 25, 2019

Here's a few pictures of the new PC I built for work. I'd also like to thank the LTT community for the advice on what parts to pick given my budget constraints.

All of the parts (except case and 2 HDD's)

The case arrived.... looking... a little larger than expected. I forwarded all of the parts/pieces to my boss and she ended up ordering the Fractal Define S instead of the Define C I was planning on using. At the end of the day, I'm just missing out on the PSU shroud and the form factor but it works and I won't complain.

Once all of the boxes were opened and unpacked.. here's a standard test to verify the barebone parts are working as they should.

"Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key_"

SUCCESS

How about we throw everything in the case? Sounds like a plan.

*Crosses fingers* Hopefully it still works...

SUCCESS AGAIN! Don't mind the desk (or my old desktop)... by this picture I had already installed Windows 10 and utilized ninite (ninite.com) to install some commonly used software to the machine before joining it to our domain.

Once everything was all set up and tested for a few days to ensure thermals were good, I started to say goodbye to my old desktop and set up the new one in it's place. (Now on the left side and attached to my dual monitors.) The far-right screen is used for my raspberry pi I'm messing around with or other random computers I may need to hook up there.
