Foot in the door

by Karl G Posted on: 11/17/2022

Build Description

This is a really basic build that I did simply to get my "foot in the door" with a functioning pc that can quickly run applications common to students as well as occasional photo-editing. In the future I will want to buy a case with a dedicated metal shroud (or "basement") that contains the power supply. I don't feel like it's fully secure when I move the system around.

Favorite Feature

I guess the favorite feature is room for growth! Even though I am getting by with the cpu graphics for now, I plan to add a significant dedicated graphics card in the future! Just waiting for prices to come down more :)
