Dude you are so inspirational... This is how I am gonna get through college I m gonna make myself LOVE to write lots of stuff and glorify it as a huge amount of info

Wow, great to hear that! I wish you the best off luck with everything you do! Remember tho, sometimes you can have a bad day, but those days need to happen to understand/learn how to make good days

Awesome build.

so clean

Mostly, yes. I tried to keep the cables out of view.

I got inspired by red_leader1138's build.

 

Damn you didnt have to write up a lab report dude!

It build up over time.

I would rather put too much infromation into a post, than not enough.

 

Awesome build.

Thank you.

January Update

 

Quite a substantial update. I am sorry. ;_;

 

Contents

- New GPU cooling

- Noise dampening

- Minor case mods

- New RAM

 

I am trying to make it more uniform and clear than it currently is. Some stats will be updated soon, as well.

 

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy.

This is like my engineering lab reports haha, you should keep it nice and short so we actually read it!

Otherwise, very nice and tidy mid range pooter, well done with the gpu fans. 

I also enjoyed lining my case with sound cancelling foam :3

 

edit: also holy moly your username looks similar to mine

I see what you mean. :,)

My reason for making it so very detailed long is that I want to put as much information into it, as anyone could ask for.

I could probably remove anything, except for the "The Build" section of the post, and most readers would appreciate it still, but I would not feel right about it.

 

I guess the small percentage of people who are interested in this will read all of it and I am not aiming for a broad audience. Thanks for the advice nontheless.

 

The computer in it's current state resembles my preferences almost completely. Obviously, there is always something to moan about, but it is almost silent and has sufficient power for casual gaming.

 

Only three letters: Ka___iro. :3

pretty dull build to be honest

I actually read your 'lab report'. I often tend to be rather wordy myself,

so I kind of enjoy somebody taking the time and care to properly document

their log. And as said, the pictures are easy to find, so if that's all somebody

cares about they should be easily able to skip the rest.

As for the build itself; sure it doesn't have 8 titans and isn't super-uber

modded, but it's very tidy and put together with care and thought, which is

something I personally appreciate quite a bit. And I certainly don't mind

somebody properly formatting their log and all that good stuff.

Yes, it is not meant to be shiny as instead practical and quiet.
