Hello from DC! I've been lurking behind the scenes here at SFF for a while and finally decided I'm ready to jump in and say hi to the community. My current system started as an itx HTPC build in a Fractal Node that eventually grew up to a full ATX build in Fractal R5. Specs are:
Proc: i7 4770
Heatsink: TRUE-120
Mobo: ASRock Z97 Killer
RAM: 32GB
GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 6GB
PSU: Corsair something or the other...
Drives: 120GB SSD boot, 256 GB SSD cache/gaming, 2 TB, 3 TB Seagate Backup/Media drives, 5TB WD external
Case: Fractal R5
This rig started as an HTPC, but eventually morphed into my full-on gaming and graphic editing system that lives in the living room. I've had the desire to do a custom build in a NES case, and with my wife pregnant with our second child, I think now is the time before my life is no longer my own agan.
I've been slowly puling together pieces for it and I have just about everything except for a few odds and ends. Be on the lookout for the upcoming thread. Help me out though, would a custom build like that go in Build Logs or in Custom Cases? It seems like most of what's in Custom Cases are professional/semi-pro builders with items that may go into limited or full-production runs.
Excited to be a part of the community!
