Cobbled Cube

This was my first small form-factor machine and it arose out of a pile of parts that accumulated after upgrading stuff on my main machine over time. The only parts I bought specifically for the build are the Motherboard and the SSD.

It's kind of a budget beater that performs double duty as a file server when I need the networked storage space. I've been putting it through its paces with Diablo 2 (both legacy and Resurrected) and that's honestly about as good as it's going to get with that little 740. I do a little bit of photo editing (it's not great) and a bit of programming (works like a champ!). One of my goals was to make it as quiet as possible without going liquid or passive cooling

It's snappy (relatively speaking) and reliable and that's really what I was hoping for.

I kind of regret the case choice. It's not bad at all, I just prefer a different aesthetic - I think I'd get a more modern case with tempered glass to cut down even further on the (admittedly very minor) fan noises. Also it's not supposed to be flashy, but adding some subtle, soft LED lighting might spruce it up a bit.
