by Starry G Posted on: 3/22/2021
Build Description
This build was my birthday present. February 2021 I found the last new stock Moneual Moncaso 601 (same as 932) PC case in world on Ebay. Hunted for over a decade since I saw it advertised in 2008. Stack of five units were abandoned in So. California trans-shipping warehouse for 15 years. Will run multiple screens for flight simulator games (X-Plane, FlightGear, FSX and FS2020, others).
