It's in my ten year old Thermaltake mid tower case, now with a new power supply. I did this thing as cheap as I could. The $89 i3 quad core is faster then the 6 core AMD FX that won't run Win 11. I bought a returned Asus motherboard, that was complete except the M,2 screws, and it seems to work fine. Like my cpu, my old ASUS legacy bios board won't run Win 11 either. And, of course it used DDR3, so I had to get new ram. Then there was the MBR Hard Drive problem and the UEFI bios differences. Such as, the : You can't boot from a legacy MBR HD if you use on board graphics, and then if you can find someone that knows that your lucky! So, you can now boot your old HD in legacy mode but guess what, you won't have "Secure Boot" so no Win 11! Which is what this is all about. Now ask on line how to change your MBR HD to GPT and keep it bootable! 99% of the answers say, "No sweat, but you can't boot from that drive anymore! So, how you gunna get that Windows 11, since you don't have a activation key because your copy is "digital" and if it don't boot you ain't got anything. See how many answers you get to that question online. I'll save you the trouble, you have to pay $45 dollars for Aomei backerupper. Then you can get Win 11, and try to find all the stuff you use to use that they just moved around to make it feel different, and call Netflix to ask why you can't watch a movie, but spammers can still find you through all this TPM, secure boot, and all the new Win 11 security and safe web shite. IT'S A NEW DAY IN COMPUTING. HURRAY!!$285.93 -

I built this pc to play esports titles like Valorant and Fortnite on low setttings and it has served me well. I an planning on getting a used gtx 1060 as I am using integrated graphics right now. I'm still working on the cable management lol. This build costed me around $300. My specs were - i3 10105 ($90 because it was on sale Micro center) - MSI H510m pro MOBO ($80 Microcenter) - UpHere 3x fans ($15 Amazon) - Ares Game 500w PSU 80+ bronze ($30 Amazon) - Aerocool cyclone (Amazon $50) - 2x8gb 3200mhz corsair ram ($60 microcenter) - Free 240gb ssd that I got from microcenter$309.97 -

Before this, I was using a MacBook Air, so anything seemed like an upgrade compared to that. In the end, I was not able to get a GPU because everything was out of stock.$390.94 -

This is primarily a working computer (for personal business) however also for some gaming on the side. I used the same case I had before from a previous build 8 years ago, as well as the same old PSU (400W) and for the GPU, I used a GTX 1050 that I purchased about 5 years ago. So all in all, it was about $430 (with tax) for a computer that now is much faster and more stable, especially for the things I use it for now. (I have a better laptop for gaming). Without the RAM or with cheaper RAM it'd be even less of course. Note, if you buy the same processor, a separate GPU will be required as this CPU doesn't have it's own graphics. Note, the motherboard is indeed Windows 11 compatible but you need to turn on the TPM in the BIOS (it's off by default). It's pretty easy to do though. Asus shows you how on the support website. You'll note from the picture(s) that I also have an old wifi adapter in there. Also from the previous 8 year old build (but for faster DL speeds probably want a newer one of those). The mobo comes with a nice suite of software but you don't have to install it of course. There's one called AI Suite 3 that gives some fan/cpu info, as well as other things, also installs a quick interface on the desktop (that can be exited out of if desired) to quickly control fan speed. Also there's an "Armory Crate" from ASUS that does pretty much the same thing(s) so I'm not sure why have both. (?). The screenshot is from the Armory Crate where you can fine tune to your heart's desire. Also update drivers etc as desired (I just let Windows do most of that I'm not into overclocking and such especially for a build like this). Anyway, still kind of neat to check on occasion to make sure fans running well etc. My goal was to build a cheap computer that would perform well enough for the next 2-5 years. I think I've achieved this goal.$404.96 -

I'm still rocking my pretty MSI GTX 1060 on account of it never breaking a sweat being bottlenecked by my CPU so I'm excited to finally see what it can do on the modern more CPU intensive games! I'd totally recommend the items I purchased.$537.32 -

To improve gaming performance, and as a media server, I decided to try my hand at my first pc build. Mainly built to play Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed, I'm going to see what else i can get this machine to do. Future upgrades include a SSD for my main drive, a beefier CPU cooler, and a fully modular PSU for better cable management. Lighting isn't really at the top of my list, but maybe I'll change out the fans for some kind of ambient light.$538.95 -

I'm a graduate student studying cybersecurity, and built this computer specifically with Ubuntu compatibility in mind. I use it to work on my projects, which included the use of perf-intel-pt, ptrace and simple tests with multi-party communication. For the time being, I opted to use integrated graphics as it is sufficient for my workflow, but I eventually intend to add a GPU for my own personal use. The i3-10100 is surprisingly quick with 4c/8t and a maximum clock speed of 4.3GHz - I was very happy with it and it has given me little to no notable slowdowns in my current workflow. I might at some point upgrade to a higher model, especially as I expend my workflow, on but I definitely don't feel like I have to as it stands - a Core i3 is definitely more worthy of consideration than it might seem. Of course, based on what you're using it for your mileage will vary. I use another another computer along with this one in my day-to-day work, so I connected a USB switch that moves the mouse and keyboard between machines so I can quickly switch. This works nicely with a monitor that supports Picture-by-Picture (PBP). I was impressed to see how well Ubuntu scales between sudden changes of resolution as I toggle between full-screen and PBP depending on the current use-case. Certainly you can use higher specs if need be, but if you're fine with a quad core and don't do anything graphics-heavy like with me, a list like this represents a great price-to-performance value while still getting quality components and strong reliability. As a whole, I've been very happy with this machine and highly recommend a project like this if it interests you.$539.93 -

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 -

This is a PC build for my friend, who wanted to game and avoid spending too much money. The objective was to keep it under $700 while still having decent gaming performance, and I think we achieved that. A nicer GPU would've been great, but an RX 6600 is a significant jump in price that would make us go over the budget, so we didn't go for it. However, this PC has great upgrade potential, and once he saves up enough money, he could swap the CPU for an i5 or i7, and swap to a better GPU as well.$560.92 -

This build was 100% motivated by a random impulse purchase at my local Microcenter. I noticed that the newest gen from Intel (13th gen) now had an i3 quad core (4 cores, 8 threads) available and the price at Microcenter was only $99. I decided to grab it and see how much it would bottleneck an older RX 5600 XT that I had going unused. Turns out, the answer is "not at all!"$593.93 -
