With a lot more time being spent indoors likely in the coming months, and a big-0 birthday present past due, I’ve finally decided to get a real PC and just leave the Thinkpad for work and stop thrashing it with virtual machines, data crunching, software synths, DAWs and occasional games.
This build is to be a solid mid-ranger, for gaming and music production as well as some software development/virtualisation. It probably will get a CPU upgrade at some point in it’s lifetime, but we’ll see what happens.
I’m also wanting something that looks really clean and neat and it’s going to be a Stormtrooper colour scheme. A few components just might have been chosen for looks rather than value.
Orders have now been placed, so no criticism is allowed or I might feel bad. This is the first time I’ve built a PC in a decade, so hopefully I haven’t stuffed up too badly.
