McHrodik's Budget Builds

McHrodik · January 6

Hello everyone!

I'm McHrodik, and, as a lot of you folks here, I'm a PC builder enthusiast. And that means that my main hobby is building computers, a hobby that I only embraced fully during the last 2023. I would like to share my passion with you, so, in this thread, you will find my builds, as well as some build logs for my newer ones. I sell this computers, but I only do it in order to build new ones, as this is not my job and profit is not my main goal here. So, you will see pictures of my builds as well as the cost in euros, taxes included (I'm Valencian, in Spain). I will also update this post every time I build a new system.

Hope you like it!

Hi, I've edited the first post and added 3 more builds: Blue Darkness, Phantom and Colour Strike. The first one is made up almost entirely from PC parts that I had scattered around. The other two are builds with new, or newish, components.
