With the side back on

>>60555385
It looks like shit but ok.

>>60555398
It actually makes my stomach upset looking at that.

pfft that's pussy shit

AMD Athlon x2 (weakest part of the build)
8GB of RAM
2TB HDD
2x r9 280x
1400w PSU
some gigabyte motherboard

total cost: $0. Got all parts from friends and work.

Ugly, but gets the job done.

>>60555567
>1400w PSU for that

From the rest, it's probably some no name with a big number that could blow the computer up at a moment's notice.

>>60555385
do you live in the 2nd world or something? not trying to be offensive but always curious to see where people are located that are so poor they can't even buy a new case for $30 that isn't painted like a fisher price toy.

>>60555385
You have pretty generous friends. A cheap mITX case wouldn't be a bad investment though.

>>60555567
Not bad either.

>>60555385
Gatorade?

>>60556540
You can spend 30 bucks and have a case that looks like a mattel toy at least.

How long have you been using color schemes like that?

>>60558374
Okay that's just dumb, paint is a heat insulator.

too much?

>>60555567
good score

>>60555385
seems decent, should've saved more by not painting it.

>>60558403
yea, but those are some low end components in there, and (just) the cpu heatsink itself was left unpainted, which is the only thing that will get hot, suggesting he was aware of this fact

>>60558351
kek.

>>60555567
i got an x3 build i use for media production as well for free in an old HP case - nice build, but doesnt the x2 bottleneck the gpu's?

>>60558374
not mine
>>60558705
nice builds, and i painted the case because the stock paint was scratched to shit and the plastic was yellowed from age

>>60555385

you dun good. Now use the hell out of it.

But when you get a chance, replace those metal-cored twist ties with plastic zip ties, before one falls off and shorts something out.

>>60555385
>>60555398
I have this case in the original color.
Why did you on your right mind paint vomit green is beyond me.
