No idea who made it. But I can recall reaching into a wire basket by the checkout line to lift it up and appreciate the good deal. That can only have been Micro Center. Probably the one in Yonkers, NY. The layout of how things are arranged, with nowadays a clearance shelf just before you make that hard right into the cashier line, it matches the memory, except with a wire basket instead of a wire shelf. It wasn't a wire basket full of closeout cases, either, just one case of the kind that was popular 20 years ago (nowadays) and a bunch of open box mice or whatever. The case is sort of specific to the turn of the millenium because it has a flourish of see-through plastic (how Apple!) and a slot for the floppy drive. Long time builders will recognize it for what it is, or is trying to be. I have no idea how long ago that was, but the psu only had a 20-pin mainboard connector - so almost certainly at least a decade ago that I bought it. Since then, it has moved around with me time and again. I mean, it just looks so of-that-era, and I knew quite well I would want to build a pc again at some point. But I'm actually not that demanding, and so my 2500K served me well for a really long time. Man, so November 2022 comes, and Micro Center has some sweet bundle deals for a system that is exactly 10 generations newer than what I was running. The bundles now are definitely not bad at all, but the 12600K and motherboard I picked up in the run-up to Black Friday were even better. Has an igpu, 32GB of RAM is double my previous amount, NVME's boot real quick, let me tell you... I am a happy camper! See, I missed out on the whole shift from spinning platters to SSD's, so I am sooooo happy about the boot-up time. You know that person down the block running an otherwise-fine-for-their-purposes system that they wish wasn't so slow to boot up, and you make their day by throwing a $25 SSD in there? That's me. Made my own day. Regarding the guts of the thing, I had to pick up another mainboard from MC because this is not an ATX case. I had gathered the cooler and one NVME over time, thanks to the buildapcsales subreddit, and I picked up the needed mATX board, some DDR4 RAM and another NVME from MC, and cobbled together a janky build that has plenty of storage (there's also an old set of spinning platters in there), along with a Tesla P4 to boost the igpu the 12600K comes with. Because I can't resist projects like that. And I don't really game, so something akin to an underpowered 1080 is more than fine if I can say i got it running thanks to some zip ties and the fan from an FM2 CPU cooler. That fan on the Tesla P4, it spins up real loud for just a second at start up before the motherboard slows it down in accordance with the fan curve, which makes for a really weird effect that i really like. Like, I love it! And i don't care at all that it looks janky as all get-out in there, nobody cared about that back when we were building ourselves Cyrix 6x86 and Pentium II systems, so it fits the motif. I recognize the blue masking tape is a little funny-looking, but it's there to catch the eye if you open the case, since I cut holes into it and cut away most of the drive cage. This was my first time cutting holes into a case with a Dremel and some diamond cutting wheels, like the Youtube videos say to do, and so I have plenty of airflow through the bottom and out the back, In addition to what the front fan is pulling through those period-matching vents in the drive bays. I have two 140mm fans in that tiny case with no real gpu to speak of, and so they can run really slow and still move a ton of air. It's the outside of the case that counts. That period-specific look, in what is certainly not the most elegant manifestation imaginable, but then dressed up with those stickers from Geekenspiel that obscure the case's lack of refinement (I mean, the see-through plastic is right on top of the regular beige plastic, I mean, come on!). I sincerely apologize to MC for not having MC stickers on there about the Millennium Bug, but I really couldn't find any - not even in pictures online. BB, well, they're kind of known for it at this point. Frankly, MC might not have done that! it's clearly where the smarter, more discerning customers shop. And I found an appropriate floppy disk online to shove in that floppy drive with a 34-pin floppy extension cable running to a usb adapter card connected to a mainboard header by way of a header to usb jack adapter cable. That wasn't hard, but man, did I do a whole lot of work just to have a functional floppy drive that I'm never going to use. And it's funny, but every time I open Windows file explorer, it gets all audible and clicks away while it looks to see if it has a floppy inserted into it. I guess that's probably normal and just how things used to be. But it makes me happy, so be it. Plus, now I can crack wise that you can say what you want about rasterization and vector-based graphics, but Charts Unlimited, I mean, for charts, to this day, you can't beat it with a stick! And nobody really laughs as hard as me, but that's okay. I for one am much amused. This has been a truly fun build for me, and I look forward to rummaging about in MC's excellent deals in the future!$367.97 -

Brother's Request: "No Case" Brother's Request: "No Case"

I build this pc for my littler brother who just wanted to get back into gaming since his razer laptop bit the dust recently. Luckily, one of my friends is upgrading their pc and they were looking to sell some of their old parts. These parts are a nice upgrade from his 2017 razor laptop. He didn't want a case, more like outright refusing to buy, so i respected his wishes and built it. Dust would most likely be an issue, however, he's cleans his entire gaming setup twice a week so I guess it won't be as much of an issue. He's using this to play games like Phasmophobia, Overwatch, and more recently Lethal Company at 4k. What surprised me is that even at 4k the 3070 is still very capable, and for those less demanding games like Overwatch he was able to fully saturate his monitor at 4k 160hz (at low settings but that's how he was playing at 1080p anyways). In terms of noise, the pc is in a high noise floor environment anyways so it is completely inaudible (I can only imagine how loud the pc is in a more normal noise floor environment).$410.00 -

After we changed out a lot of different furniture pieces, we needed to move to a build footprint that was rougly half the size of the old atx mid tower case. Thankfully this wasn't much of a problem since the previous build was 80% empty space. This is not a gaming pc and performance needs are very casual for the use of occasional guests we have stay in our home. The focus was condesing the overall size to fit on a small desk. Many pieces of the previous build we re-used. The previous atx sized motherboard was replaced with a motherboard of mini itx size.$418.93 -

I built this pc because I wanted a small portable gaming system that can fit in my backpack. It allows me to take the pc on the go and play games at a friend's house or at a hotel. The only game I played so far on it is Yakuza 0 and it runs great at 60fps considering I am only using the AMD integrated graphics. The case I bought has space for a single slot graphics card, so I plan on purchasing a rx 6400 or gtx 1650 in the future to play more modern games.$449.93 -

I built it because I wanted a Small Form Factor build with a twist hence the Atari case, for the build I used the parts listed below and a Flex ATX psu. It was a fun build and yes it has a working power button from one of the switches from the Atari itself. I use this system to play emulation and some modern titles like GTA, Portal and etc.$468.95 -

I've always wanted to have a NAS and a plex server and I deciced to go the DIY route. This will be my first foray into both and I also plan on using it as a playground to learn about virtual machines and more. The current plan is to install unraid and add plex as an app then in the future I'll mess with things such as a minecraft server or home camera system. The chassis is rack mountable and is made by a company called myelectronics based in europe.$553.95 -

Mini NAS with Proxmox This build was an attempt at a: Minimal Physical Space Power Efficiency Performance Cost I used the onboard NIC with a managed switch and "Tagged" VLAN IDs into a couple of subnets where different VMs reside. I'm running 4 instances of Ubuntu Server for security camera recordings, general file storage, backups (UrBackups) and DNS sink hole (AdGuard Home). None of these require much in regards of compute resources (memory/cpu). For this reason, the 8500G seems like a nice fit to balance performance, price and efficiency. Nothing special was configured with Proxmox and I have not explored any passthrough features yet with exception of passing a few mechanical drives to the security camera VM. At idle with (2) 7200 rpm 3.5" drives the power draw is ~42 watts. Without the mech drives it rest at 35 idle. In operation...it still generally rest in the low 45's with small bumps when the cache write to the mech drives spawns an actual write (all measured with a Kilo-A-Watt meter). If you want a small business/home server, with the option to host larger VMs that isn't terribly expensive or power hungry, this isn't a bad setup. You can certainly host my current 24/7 VMs on a much less capable system with no perceivable performance difference, but everything is a case of what-ifs, present circumstances and just having fun playing with new stuff. Power wise with x86 desktop systems, ATX boards, standard PSU's...this one runs about as light as any of them at idle. There are mini PC's that use a lot less power, but then you are generally using USB mass storage and lack a PCIe slot for expansion, which in my case, this was not acceptable. I am actually replacing a NUC that was currently using an external 8TB USB 3.0 drive and this ended up being a not so great solution for 24/7 camera recordings, it works but barely when dealing with 8+ 4k cameras and also needing to do remote playback. I hope this helps for those looking for information as a mini server. So far, no issues.$570.17 -
