I was mildly disappointed with Vavles pricing, so I told my nephew i’d make him a Bazzite system. He plays simple games.
Specs: Ryzen 4650G 450W PSU B550 Asrock ITX board 16GB DDR4 @3600MT/s 1TB PCI-e 3.0 Nvme Coolermaster 240 AIO (somehow crammed in) Silverstone SG-13 case
I have that exact same case for my work computer!
Nice! How’d you cram your hardware in there? I had so much trouble.
Just like you, I’m crammed it in :P
I built two of these, one in 2021 for a client and another in 2023 IIRC, back when SSDs and RAM weren’t outrageously priced, so it’s got an NVMe m.2 SSD and 64 GB of RAM.
It’s got an AIO cooler, and I don’t think anything other than that or a stock fan would fit in there. It had a 3060 12 GB but it has died :/ so it’s currently got a 2060 SUPER, which doesn’t fit as well (mainly because the power port points towards the front of the case instead of up.)
With the discrete GPU and AIO cooler, I wouldn’t have been able to fit a SATA SSD in there.
Both of these were far from the most painful builds I’ve done.
Oh, wait… 3060 died, how? Sometimes it’s fixable if you have a flow station.
2060 6GB? Hey it’ll play most things. I have an RX580 kickin around here, and another SG-13 case. I might do another one if I can find an ITX board which takes ddr4 sodimm memory. It’s the only memory I have left from an dead laptop.
