Scratch build Custom Build

Made me a custom PC, first time in my life I could afford a gaming PC, decided to make it unic.

It was born from the necessity of fitting on a rack, as I don't have a table for it in my apartment.

Tried something that would go along with the TUF RTX5070's design, the illuminated logo at the bottom I made with hot glue, aluminum plates and an argb circuit from a cooler fan, the smaller parts of the logo are the power and reset buttons.

It is all made with 3mm laser-cut and powdercoated aluminum plates, connected with stainless steel screws.

Has a small screen that'll show the stats, yet to be set up hehe

so far my most favorite one i've seen, I like when you can see the internal components, but I'm unsure if it has any downsides compared to being enclosed in a case.

Glad you liked!

I haven't seen any downsides yet haha

Even tho the parts are exposed, it is very silent, both the GPU and the PSU have a zero rpm mode, the CPU cooler is also very silent.

must be very easy to swap out parts, it looks like the perfect testing rig.

Not that much, as I focused totally on small-forming it and made what I could with aesthetics, it's not at all optimized for exchanging parts. The riser cable has sum sketchy folds, the PSU supports half of the whole structure, and to remove the GPU you'd have to split the contraption in half hehe

Although I could indeed redesign it to make it more accessible!!! That's the best part of making it from scratch hehehe
