https://www.EK.tech/snaxan Finally done! I started saving in 2015 (I didn't know what I'd end up getting at the time), waited another year to get all the parts. Many enjoy shorter time lapsed type videos, but most of my subs are new to this like I am. So I thought it would be great to show what the journey is like. This is not a sponsored video and I had to buy every part myself.
Answers to FAQs I've been getting:
I will game on this but this was mainly built for content creation and to cut down on my video editing/rendering which takes a lot of time on my old PC.
I didn't pay scalper prices during the great shortage. (GPU from Best Buy, twitter notifications helped)
I dont have any other storage drive other than the 2 2TB m.2 drives shown. I use a NAS solution for networked for storage
Yes I will overclock haven't dialed in the settings yet, still figuring things out as I'm still a new.
I know this is a super popular case so if you questions on anything, I'll try and pay it forward by helping as much as I can. I learned a lot by asking people on other videos etc, helped me a lot.
The part that I could have saved on and gotten something cheaper was the PSU. It's way overkill currently, BUT I wanted something ultra quiet & this one will enable me to use it for an even bigger/more power hungry build in the future, plus flexibility to add 2nd card. It was the most quiet/efficient even with lots of headroom.
Yes, the bubbles in the front go away
Not shown is I used the corner of my wall/table edge for a 90 bend to make it tighter. (mandrel radius too big). I was experimenting, but I liked it, ended up using it. I also ended up swapping a tube with a prebent for the final showcase. The bend radius was too big for my liking.
Bottom/rear rad intake, top exhaust (changed the back after)
Yes of course I did get a lot of help from internet and friends, TONS of reading/research, actual building was all done by me.
My PC's name is Ellie named after one of my pets who passed away.
