Node 202

Build Description
Home theater rig. Used for gaming, streaming, web browsing, etc. The AMD cooler is the wraith version, the included fan ended up being the strongest performer for me although it is pretty loud. Trying to use a slim 120mm case fan gave worse results. I 3d printed air channels for the GPU, I'd call that fairly crucial for this case. Hard to recommend this case but I found it for a great price.
Favorite Feature
Windows gives more flexibility than my shield. Its rarely used but its the most reliable solution for any problem.
