POV you like buying the most overpriced stuff when for the half the price you could have gotten 2x better:

zinc coyote
#

for pc1, the 990 evo, case, fans, cables, and power supply are the only reasonably priced things

#

very cool build, although you could have gotten more for less

#

i think mouse 2 is the only reasonable peripheral along with the desk and drawers

#

later on, i suggest getting a butcher block from home depo, and staining and finishing yourself

#

endless color options. you really cant go wrong especially it being far far cheaper doing it yourself

olive briar
#

The risers are horrid for the desk

olive briar
#

It’s not that much better

zinc coyote
#

bro talks like he knows

olive briar
#

I’ve tried butcher blocks

#

My friend has one

#

They are not that diffrent from a good ikea desk

zinc coyote
#

In the long term they are not comparable

#

Butcher block desks will last generations

olive briar
#

But who needs a desk to last generations

#

Your not keeping a desk generations

zinc coyote
#

I’m keeping a desk generations

#

Saves money

olive briar
#

In 10 years max you’ll have a diffrent

zinc coyote
#

Different stain yeah

#

Sand it down and restain it

#

Easy

#

I would like my desk to last generations

zinc coyote
#

If I spend $230 bucks in it I sure hope it does

Pc on carpet is killing me lol

olive briar
#

I kinda assumed it was on a piece of wood

spare parrot
#

i had my pc on carpet but i used wood

#

Carpet isn’t bad if it’s literally just 1 or 2 inches off

Pc is fine on carpet as it’s rarely ever used

#

It’s fine if smth breaks or whatever

#

All this and you have no pc stand for the second one, come on man you can’t just put it on the floor.

#

Ehhh not very easily

#

Unless it’s illegal

#

May or may not be talking from experience

#

I think you need to be 15 and have a work permit. I don’t know for sure tho. Most companies don’t like hiring under 16
