Whole process, for me.  I like to see it being build and explained what you did.  That's what a Build Log is.  A log is a timeframe of your build.

 

Anyone can just go "bleh" here's my PC, thanks!  We have a Post Your Battlestation thread for that.

Not that you won't find people who are interested in it, but I think that for posting a build log here, the most important thing is that you, personally, are happy with it. Sure, having it be interesting for readers is good, but you are the person who is going to invest the most time and effort into it.

 

How do you want to tell that story? Do you want to explore the journey as it unfolds, or do you mainly want to reflect on a job well done? And there's nothing to say you can't do a little of both, either.

I love telling the story on how it came together I feel like it gives more character than just the finished product what about the blood sweat and tears but thank you for the advice.

It drives me nuts when people post a finished build in the build logs without any of the build. Especially if it's just a vanilla build with no modification. A standard pc in a standard case is extremely boring. Show us some flair

You'd love some of my previous builds and the one I'm currently working on then I never use a standard case only custom lol

keep in mind it can be criticized once posted so you no. people might giver there opinion and and might not be all rainbows.

I don't mind criticism I work in Automotive, seems like everyday someone's is calling me a pos for trying to help them :). Go take a look at my build log and let me know what you think : Link

I'm not a fan of desk builds, but I do appreciate the custom work and your build log. This is what they should look like. Brief description, good, clear photos without going overkill. Nice, Can't wait to see the finished product.

If you mean our subforum, then whole process. Kinda why it's called "logs". We have megathread for showing off completed builds (pc). And for others, suitable subforum for only completed would be fine.
