My 2 Year Old Custom Build

Hey guys!

I built my own computer ~2 years ago. At the time, it cost me $1070.

A few things I was gifted and didn't have to purchase:
27" HD Monitor
Logitech Mouse
Logitech Keyboard
Kickass office chair

Basically, I didn't have to spend any money on peripherals!

I'm thinking about selling and upgrading soon!

Your cable management is horrible

It's actually pretty good! Everything is zip tied and out of sight. If you were to open the other side, you would see all the cords. Each cord you see actually is about a foot or two longer than it looks! It was pretty difficult to tuck it all in the small space behind the metal barrier, but I'm proud of how it looks
