Secondary PC

Build Description
This is my extra computer I built for both experimenting with linux as well as for bringing over to friends' houses for party games and the like. I built it out of mostly used parts I had available through either liquidation sales or old builds. I'm hoping to upgrade the RAM in the future.
Favorite Feature
I really loved the case I got for this build, the SAMA IM01. It's both extremely compact and easy to build in. While it's quite small, it still fits both an ATX PSU and a matx motherboard, so there was no need to obtain an ITX motherboard or SFX PSU for this case which was really nice. I also love the build quality, as it is mostly metal and not much plastic, making it a very sturdy case.
