So what are we looking at here lol
What exactly is this build? Never seen anything like it!

It’s a Lenovo ideacentre 510a that was purchased five or so years ago, back when I didn’t have much interest in computers. Recently though I’ve been interested in pcs, so it’s gone through a few changes including the cpu, gpu, ram, and storage. The factory psu uses lenovo’s proprietary cables, so to power the gpu I’m using a spare psu which has some of its connections soldered to the factory one so that they work together. Recently, I also ducted the cpu fan so it can grab fresh air from the side of the case instead of just recycling the same hot air

#

since I’m unbelievably cheap the psu and cpu are salvaged from scrap computers

#

other basic specs:

  • i3 9100
  • gtx 1660 super
  • 32gb ddr4 ram

so... it's a normal PC? what's with all the ketchup and mustard cabling which look like PSU cables?

one psu powers the gpu, the other one goes through a hole sawed into the io sheild to power everything else

#

they don't fit in the case so they're just chilling behind it

#

here’s a photo from a while ago which shows it better
