Sleeper PC

[WambleCropped]

Its quarentine and im bored. I wanted to ask LTT what should I build a sleeper PC in and/or part recommendations for it. Going to sell hopefully.

Idk if sleepers sell so easily, but it's fun to try. 

 

There are some old antec cases with side windows that actually look really sweet, the main issue with older cases could be something along the lines of top mounted PSU and no cable managing space so make sure you factor that in.

hmm sounds fun. Could you link the cases? No PC is more fun to build in than one with terrible cable management

A sleeper pc will only appeal to the PC enthusiast, as there will be a lot of modding and sacrifices (probably) to get the PC done. Also building in a 20+ year old case isn't fun 

 

 

but 

 

Sleepers are the single most impressive thing to do, especially if it lacks no clues to its inner powa on the outside.

I know thats why I am interested, I dont have a lot to do so a new fun, harder PC to build will be a good time suck

basically any of the old Antec cases may provide a pretty similar building experience.

 

The one I previously built with appeared to be one of their SOHO cases
