Build for my parents - In Win Chopin! Build for my parents - In Win Chopin!

It did its job, but it was starting to fail, and honestly, it was so slow and the tiny cooling fan was really high pitched and loud. After my love of building reignited with my own system, I decided to finally do something about my parents' system. Also, they help watch my kids when my wife and I are busy, and it's important to have a system that is snappy and responsive in Windows or YouTube or Netflix Kids, etc. Building in the In Win Chopin is definitely a treat. It's beautiful and my parents love that it doesn't take up too much space on their desk. In order to get the side panel closed, I had to remove the fan shroud from the Wraith Stealth cooler (easily done by removing a single screw from underside of the heat sink and undoing four clips, though this isn't possible if the cooler is already mounted). This was my first time building in such a small enclosure, and hopefully it won't be my last! I still need to build a system for my eldest son when he gets old enough. Probably will stick to mini ITX so that I can teach him to take his system out and clean it when necessary.$269.97 -

I got this HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop a year ago, well I know OEM rebuilt is very bad but because I need a computer with good specs that can run AAA games but there was no option than buying a rebuilt that time because GPU price was sky rocket high. The build has a 1660 Super with Ryzen 5 4600G (Ryzen 5 3600), it decent for 1080p gaming with medium-high settings. After a year, the computer works fine and really well, all I need is better power supply because it only 400w and new ram (it having 2x4gb 3200mhz ddr4) because recommended ram nowadays is 16gb, and I can see it myself that sometime I get some lag spikes. But this prebuilt HP is not easy to upgrade since the motherboard and power supply are OEMs, it has different design from normal custom build, so I have to get rid of the case, motherboard, power supply and get a new one and put the gpu, cpu, ram and storage in the build. I also have 512gb + 256gb ssd so I don't really need a storage upgrade.$306.95 -

I built this computer mainly to play games with my friends, as my old Dell Vostro couldn't hold up anymore, even to basic tasks. I mainly play Minecraft, Roblox, and occasionally Apex Legends. Now thinking about it, I definitely would have gotten a better graphics card, as I got it right before the prices spiked up and could have gotten a better deal. I also would have gotten a graphics card without a blower style fan, as my graphics card runs LOUD.$346.96 -

Made this build for a friend in order for him to play fighting games with discord open at a tight budget. Had to work around the budget but honestly came out better than expected. It was able to run warzone which was the most surprising part of the build. I eventually upgraded the gpu to a 1650 super but I like the original build as it was a decently powerful build for a cheap price.$457.92 -

How to Convince Your Dad that a Black... How to Convince Your Dad that a Black Friday Laptop is Not Worth the Time Anymore

My dad started out in this country as a software engineer, working on various projects from large contractor companies that essentially brought in tons of immigrants to fill contract needs in the 70s and 80s. He now works as a Project Manager in the development/software sector, but has always been familiar with computing and best practices. Come black friday season, he's usually interested in picking up a new laptop to manage his personal work. I usually see him go through these every 2-3 years, and this past year he asked me what laptop I think he should get. I bet him that I could spent less on a custom built PC that is more powerful and capable than a laptop, and would far outlive the life of the laptop as well as the period of time it takes for a machine to "feel slow". What ensued over the next three days was a debate of the ages, similar to those of Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates. He showed off tempting deals--mobile platforms with Ryzen 7 CPUs, high fidelity displays, long battery life, warranties. I returned by pointing out benchmarks of those CPUs, the lower clock speed of the memory modules, the ineffective cooling capability of the chassis. Finally, our great debate resulted in a close with a wager. That I could successfully build a complete machine with peripherals for under 500 USD that would outmatch the laptops he was interested in, even in ranges of 600-700 in price. Ultimately, we're both quite happy with the resulting build. He primarily uses the computer for office and productivity related work. He was using a Dell Inspiron 22 3263 that was an AIO desktop solution. He had been struggling with load times, processing times, and the ability to print 50+ page documents (as he also side hustles as a notary) without the computer crashing. Looking back, perhaps I could have gone with a lower memory package, but for the cost and the spec it was a great deal! If it was an intensive gaming build, I definitely would have sprung for a silver or gold standard PSU, but with the given warranty and the use case, I thought this was fine. With additional savings, I would have installed an NVME SSD to act as a boot drive, then added in some HDD TB drives for storage, but we had plenty of old drives lying around to recycle into this build, so there was no need. I also learned that I love building in mATX cases! My own build uses a full size ATX case, and I feel that the cable management gets messy as it is with that much room. In this case, I just left the rats nest of cables as is because there's not that much space anyways, so who cares!$475.74 -

This machine was intended entirely for basic home office tasks, web browsing, or doing light work with Visual Studio. It isn't glamorous, but it works. This was meant to adhere to a budget, and is the main reason it wasn't built as an ITX. At the last minute, it was decided to add in an extra DVD writer that had been in an old build. Otherwise it would have gotten away with 0 SATA cables. And last but not least, the 12400 hadn't released when this machine was built. Ah well. With so few drives and accessories, and also considering this case isn't ideal for cable management, a modular PSU might have been nice. But this one was reused so the price was unbeatable.$489.95 -

My aunt was using a 10+ year old Dell prebuilt for office work throughout the Covid lockdown, and that thing was clearly a relic (100 GB hard drive and 3-5 minute boot time). I decided to put together a new work computer for her and have a little bit of fun deal-hunting and messing with a small form factor. It's actually a bit overkill for a computer just intended for basic office work, watching streams, and web browsing, but I wanted to make sure this build would last a while given how infrequently she replaces her hardware. Was pleasantly surprised I was able to keep it below $500 pre-tax.$498.95 -
