#MicroCenterMadness - The Monstrosity - #MicroCenterMadness

by Ed N Posted on: 3/29/2021

Build Description

Primary for kicking butt on MK 11 and Doom. Secondary for relaxing and listening to my iTunes library and streaming movies. Third, storage/conversion/viewing of my purchased DVD library over the years. Future upgrade is to standardize the fans, Thermaltake only sold a 3 pack of the Riing Tri fans, so I have 1 spare fan, until I can get a single matching fan.

Favorite Feature

Customizing the lighting on the Fans, CPU block, Graphic Card was pretty cool, until the software crapped all over windows 10 and I had to reload the entire system. Now the coolest thing is hearing Scorpion scream "Get Over Here" on my B&O system. Using MS Remote Desktop software on my iMac I have near full control on the Monstrosity, so i can get in a leisure game on Monopoly in my office.
