EVA Unit 01

Build Description
It's mainly built for gaming but light workloads too as I do work from home sometimes. My GF does art and makes stickers and plan on adding a lot of these as the time comes (also have ideas in mind for a distro block and custom loops). This is built with the Gamdias Neso P1 case, I wanted something that was a bit different as this does flip to its side for what is basically the coolest toaster oven ever. As far as games, I play a lot of OW, Halo, Sea of Thieves, and many of the great single player games that are out there (Cyberpunk, FFXV, Starfield ect). Not entirely done but the system is up and running, and it's FAST! RTX GIGABYTE 4080 Eagle with the Ryzen 7700x make for an excellent pair, combined with PBO and modest OC on the GPU, it has toppled everything I've thrown at it. Case is great, plenty of space for even the largest card and tooless entry makes it a breeze to build in. Excited to see where this all takes me!
Favorite Feature
I think the case is something I want to focus on. The Gamdias Neso P1 gave me lots of space to work with (that 4080 is just such a massive card and was choking in my last case). I really like the tooless entry and the swing out doors, they slide off too so you don't have to worry about it crashing into things as you work your build (they do take some force to come off, so keep that in mind). The radiator casing up top made AIO install fast and easy, I think it fits a 420 on the side and has plenty of room to do a push-pull configuration with at least a 360 rad. Magnetic back makes for easy in-n-out cable access (does come with a single thumb screw but the clips and the magnet hold it in well enough that you don't need it). I was torn between the hyte y60 and the NZXT H6 flow but the y60 was too small and I didn't like that the H6 only had room for two 140mm fans on the bottom as I want to add another three pack of 120mm down below.

Inland is MicroCenters in-house brand. 100 bucks for a 2TB was a hard deal to pass up, so much so that I bought one for a friend as a gift since he was running low on storage.
