Okay here is what will become of this build

 

It's going to sit in a janky rack mount case I'm building myself from shelving parts from a clothing store near me that recently went out of business.

 

It will be running FooBar2000(Media player) strictly and maybe some web browsing, video watching etc.

 

I already bought 2TB in 2 HDD's

 

May also stream Tidal Premium

 

No sound card is required because I'll be using a WYRD USB Audio Decrapifier from Schiit

 

It'll be hooked up to a pre-amp(Because I prefer warmer sound)

 

A rack mount EQ

 

a Behringer amp(this will sit on a shelf)

 

a rack  mount audio receiver

 

and various other audio supplies

 

Micca monitor speakers(and maybe my Cerwin Vegas)

No sound card is needed because all audio is being handled outside of the case(Amps, Dacs, the WYRD, etc.)

I put it in the post, it's being rackmounted(on a shelf) and running FooBar2k as its full time job.
