I have this PC that I slowly upgraded over time. I started with the Mainboard which came with one stick of PC4 Ram in a crappy SFF case. The whole build was filled with stone dust as I it free from the Ottawa LRT tunnel Group RTG for free.

I have since transplanted the good components to a Corsair Carbide Series 4 case. I was lazy and did not reorient the CPU Heatsink nor did I put too much effort in the cable management. I purchased the PSU, GPU, RAM, Storage and Case.

I want to find a nice Small Form Factor case that would allow me to replace the CPU Fam with an AIO, I also want to vertically mount the GPU for enhanced aesthetics. Better cable management should be on the list too to make it look good. I have reoriented the CPU fan and replaced the thermal compound since taking the attached photo. This case is too big the Mainboard but it was the most affordable at the time that would accommodate the then future GPU and the PSU. The old case was infuriated to use and look at.

 

The Specs are here. I only spent $400 on this thing for the upgraded components aforementioned, The rest were acquired for free.
