My MicroATX PC for college

by Christ A Posted on: 1/4/2024

Build Description

This is my first time building a MicroATX PC. I wanted a smaller form factor PC so it takes less room on my desk. And it will be more portable when I move to college next year. I got everything from Microcenter during their heavily discounted holiday sale. Highly recommended! The PC is performing great. I will use it to do coursework and some gaming :).

Favorite Feature

I like the portability of this build. The MicroATX strikes the perfect balance between the thermo of the ATX form factor and the portability of the ITX form factor.
