Project Aperture
by RowellR Posted on: 9/1/2023
Build Description
This is my PC setup which I have gradually upgraded over the years with a mix of old and new components. There is some jank involved in my setup as I had to use Lego to hold a monitor in place and to have a webcam that I could use without blocking parts of my main monitor screen as it has thin bezels. The prices in the parts may not be reflective of current pricing as the prices I entered are the prices I paid at the time I acquired the parts. I mainly use it for gaming, productivity tasks, and virtualization.
Favorite Feature
Stealth Drive Bay and Case Drawers, LEGO Monitor Bracket, and LEGO Webcam Mount
