Build Description
I built this computer for my husband since his computer was crashing, having weird glitches, and running poorly. Troubleshooting listed a handful of potentially different hardware issues. This computer is built to handle gaming (co-op, survival, FPS, RPG, open world, puzzle, action) some programming, and some CAD for 3d printing (running Atom3d). Doesn't crash when playing Gunfire Reborn unlike previous computer. Plays newer games like Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and survival and adventure games like Mist and Rune Factory 5.
Favorite Feature
Love that it sits on the desk under the monitor, looks nice, and doesn't struggle to keep up with anything! Mixed feelings on boot time: no more hitting the power button and wandering off for a random chore. It just boots right up and loads everything in no time! I think it's great, personally.

The retailer I got this from made an oops and refunded me. I asked about it. They told me to take my processor and leave. Build was changed to DDR5 in light of this. Build is nicknamed "the $0.27 CPU"

Really nice form factor! We needed to cut it to fit the ATX PSU buttons and smash down the GPU support to fit the GPU since the Merc 319 was wide enough to get stuck on it. Price after tax/shipping.
