#MicroCenterMadness! Quarantine Build

Build Description
Needed a desk and pc without all the mess that comes with it. Ended up building a custom desk with the help of my dad as a Quarantine project to fit the room. It's used for gaming, schoolwork and the occasional photo/video editing. In the future, I may plan on upgrading the graphics card, or even attempt to do custom water cooling. It definitely took a while to build, having its ups and downs (especially cable management) during construction but the end result was worth it.
Favorite Feature
Love the finish on top of the desk. From a distance it looks like your ordinary table, but as you approach you get to peer through the glass and see the computer underneath.
