The Scramble

Build Description
I had a few parts left over from shuffling parts around between my main desktop and NAS box and decided to upgrade my wife's machine. Nothing spectacular here, just finding some good deals and some bargain parts to complete an upgrade. Overall works great, and didn't really encounter much problems with the Intel Arc card, which I was a bit worried about given the drivers aren't fully stable yet.
Favorite Feature
The performance, it's quite good for a leftover parts machine.
