Upgraded Office PC

Build Description
I saw a listing for a low profile 1030 and an old SFF office PC both going for cheap, so I picked both up to fiddle with. I ended up making a computer capable of running Valorant and League (or casual web browsing) for guests that come over. Other upgrades to this small office PC came from spare parts that I had lying around (either from past builds or friends gifting me free parts that they did not have any use for anymore).
Favorite Feature
It's cheap, but still does what it was made to do.
