Hi there, I've edited the post. Many things have changed, and I've got all the pieces. That's gonna be a painful build, but I'm positive we'll all enjoy it! :D

Ok, I'm going OT, but... Check this out :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuWKHSHTHMV_nVSeNH4gYAg If you want we can talk about this stuff in PM

Hi there! I've just plugged in my Behringer DAC in my TP420 running Archlinux. The card shows up correctly in lsusb. I just went to Alsamixer and switched the active soundcard. Both sound coming from the PC (Youtube video) and Audio input (External Synth on CH1) work out of the box. So I'd...

HDD: I have some laying around, might as well put one in for long-term storage. CPU Cooler: I'll just use the stock one! B550: I guess we'll see in a month, can always upgrade later, the difference between selling B450 and buying B550 would be minimal. Lazer CG7 is really expensive! I would pay...

I have a Behringer UMC404HD, looks like it's plug & play (USB class compliant). I'll give it a try on my ThinkPad and let you know!

I think they do, but that's gonna be too expensive (item + shipment + import fees = ~170€) and would probably take too much time.

I feel you, I'm in your same exact situation. The main use is programming, audio, and some OpenGL/WebGL at most. Very little gaming, has to last at least 5yrs, I also primarily run ArchLinux. 1500€ is almost twice my budget. IMHO you shouldn't jump on the hype train. You'll be able to buy...

Thanks, unfortunately seems like Europe does not like PSUs. That Athena (like every other 400W FlexATX/TFX) is nowhere to be found, but no biggie. Anyway, checking out some benchmarks, looks like I can pull this off without a GPU altogether :)

For my build, check out this post :)

Hi, everybody! I am going to build myself a new machine. It will be hosted in a (beautiful) Lazer3d Cravo. This will be my daily driver, and will be used for: Programming (Frontend / Backend / WebGL / ...) Audio (production and recording) Photoshop / After Effects / Blender (Mainly just to...

Hi everybody! After many years of ThinkPads and other laptops, I have now decided to get back to custom builds. I seem to have quickly developed an obsession for SSF builds, and that's partly your fault as I gathered most of my intel between here and r/sffpc. So I thought I might as well join...
