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

zinc coyote Jan 6, 2025, 10:42 PM

#

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 Jan 7, 2025, 3:58 AM

#

I’ve tried butcher blocks

#

My friend has one

#

They are not that diffrent from a good ikea desk

zinc coyote Jan 7, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

In the long term they are not comparable

#

Butcher block desks will last generations

olive briar Jan 7, 2025, 5:43 AM

#

But who needs a desk to last generations

#

Your not keeping a desk generations

zinc coyote Jan 7, 2025, 4:05 PM
