PC Builds

A Passion for Building

I love building computers and working on them. Over the years I have built several computers for many different reasons. I have started computer building clubs at schools I've worked at, built computers for family and friends, and finaly I have built computers for recreation and coding. Here are some of my favorite builds and their specs!

Reaching my final form in the new house

Now we are in a hybrid working scenario as restrictions from covid get lifted. This build is still pretty close |Zero| but we've made afew key changes. Namely we upgraded to a monster EVGA RTX 3080ti FTW. This card has been a dream! With the new GPU I had to upgrade the PSU, and am currently using a EVGA 850 GA. I've also upgraded to a Cooler Master h500p Mesh and added another m.2. PC is on point! Sly

Now that I work from home, this is my gaming/workstation!

This is still the same PC (|ZERO|), but with the current WFH orders I moved my workspace and created a simple way to plug in my work maching. Now I can comfortably switch between my work, gaming, or ps4 at my desk. I love this simple setup. I've also included a couple images of my old setup as it got upgraded.

My most recent build and daily driver.

narps

This is my latest build and my daily driver. I game and work on this PC. I had a hard time deciding cases. Sometimes I wish I would have went with a micro or mini itx build. But the corsair 460x s a beautiful case. I wasn't sold on it until I saw it in person. I tried to get everything I could in black, allowing me to change the color scheme using RGB LED's. In my next build, I have a plan/idea to do a all black, with no lighting (or at least very little). More detailed list, and area to leave comments at |Zero|

This was my second build, and when I truly got the tech bug.

narps

This was my upgrade from Ammo Can. I upgraded several components including the power supply, mobo, ram, and gpu. This was great build, and allowed me to do a lot more aesthetics . The Cooler Master Hyper T2 did a wonderful job, and the air flow in the corsair 380t was impressive. However, I eventually upgraded to a AIO from Thermaltake so I could push the i7-3770k a little more. More detailed list, more pictures, and area to leave comments at Ember

Heisenberg:

Open air build.

narps

I loved the process of building, and finding unique cases and parts. I really liked the idea of doing a test bench or open air build, and that's how I landed on the Thermal Take p3. After a short time, I felt like this PC was trying too hard to be cool, and why when I upgraded I decided to go with a more traditional case in the Corsair Crystal 460X.

Ammo Can

First build, where it all began!

narps

This was my first ever build, and it was completed back in 2013. I've since upgraded twice, and I'll soon be posting what I did. But, I was able to run this i7-3770k from 2013 to 2018. It is still a beast and with light overclocking can crush anything I was throwing at it. I gave it to my younger brother, who has benefited from my addiction to upgrade my computers, and is happily gaming away on it with a gtx 970. ;) More detailed list, pictures, and area to leave comments at Ammo Can
