Edit your thread and, I believe, click to the next tab. Set your question, your choices, and if you want it public or not so that we can shun users of the SPEC-ALPHA to see which is more popular.

The SPEC-04 looks more like a normal computer for a normal person.

 

Both of them are trying WAY too hard too look like a spaceship, which was the cool thing back in 2006, but the Alpha looks unnecessarily aggressive.

 

I'd probably just get an NZXT S340 or something though.  I realize that I'm getting old and boring at age 26, and much prefer a clean, simple setup that I can look at when I want to, but blends well with the room when I'm not using it.

SFF-ish:  Ryzen 5 1600X, Asrock AB350M Pro4, 16GB Corsair LPX 3200, Sapphire R9 Fury Nitro -75mV, 512gb Plextor Nvme m.2, 512gb Sandisk SATA m.2, Cryorig H7, stuffed into an Inwin 301 with rgb front panel mod.  LG27UD58.

 

Aging Workhorse:  Phenom II X6 1090T Black (4GHz #Yolo), 16GB Corsair XMS 1333, RX 470 Red Devil 4gb (Sold for $330 to Cryptominers), HD6850 1gb, Hilariously overkill Asus Crosshair V, 240gb Sandisk SSD Plus, 4TB's worth of mechanical drives, and a bunch of water/glycol.  Coming soon:  Bykski CPU block, whatever cheap Polaris 10 GPU I can get once miners start unloading them.

 

MintyFreshMedia:  Thinkserver TS130 with i3-3220, 4gb ecc ram, 120GB Toshiba/OCZ SSD booting Linux Mint XFCE, 2TB Hitachi Ultrastar.  In Progress:  3D printed drive mounts, 4 2TB ultrastars in RAID 5.
