Aww thanks!

Yeah his old PC was a Haswell era quad core with a 1660ti. Being AM4 socket, he can go up to a 5700G in the future, or change the cooler and put in a discreet video card.

Know how to piss off a conservative neighbour? Tell them you're renovating your bathroom and making it gender neutral. Wait for their reaction.

Is that the Node202 case?

Absolutely. This system isn't a high performer, however it is extremely quiet as the fans rarely ever need to turn on.

That's why you see the drill in one pic, had to drill & tap a couple extra holes. Thankfully two of the original ones lined up already.

Honestly, wait until this rampocalypse ends. This is my last system for some time, because the memory alone was more than the cost of any other part.

It's what I had on hand at the time.

Those fans actually dropped the temperature a bit, even in a traditional case. They are noctua's thin fans.

I don't have this 3080 any longer, went to a 9070XT.

Oh, wait... 3060 died, how? Sometimes it's fixable if you have a flow station.

It was $540. But admittedly, the ram came before the AI apocalypse. So it's probably closer to $700 now. All off ebay, except the case & PSU.

Missed you comment on the performance difference to the steambox. It's bad. The 4650G isn't great. Played deep rock galactic at maybe 45 FPS.

I haven't done benchmarks, but it's about the speed of a GTX 1650, but being AMD it works much better on Bazzite (Linux)

I have about 10 nvme drives of varying sizes from before. The 1TB drive cost me $70 (about $78 after tax) before the shitstorm.

Hey I got a huge system too. Gotta run my Jellyfin off some kind of "server"

Case: Raven RVZ02, CPU Ryzen 7800X3D, GPU RTX 3080

Edit

This was about 4 years ago. This is the system I sharpened my teeth on. Had to modify the 3080 to fit with a fan mod.
