gaming rig The new rig upgrades for Stormtrooper are complete!

SpookyCitrus · March 2, 2023

This is my gaming/workstation rig, I call it "Stormtrooper" obviously due to the color scheme, I have a buddy who does graphic design and vinyl sticker making. I think I'm going to have him make me some vinyl side panel decals for the glass and other side panel. I was thinking of doing a white Empire logo on the glass side panel and a mirrored one in black for the non-glass side panel.

Recently upgraded it from a 3090 to an RTX 4090 with the Cable Mod 12vhpwr connector cable.

I always tell myself I'm done and then I always end up just getting the newest components anyway. Here are the full specs and some pics of the full setup. I've been consistently just updating my computer one component at a time for the last several years. Just anytime something new comes out that I want or like, I grab it. The oldest parts in the system and only parts from the original build left are a couple of the SSDs.
