A very exciting day finally is here! We have ordered and accumulated parts and now we are going to build two new computers!

I haven’t put together a PC in a long time. There is a lot more emphasis put on the beauty of the parts today, and cases are made to see inside. So much for green circuit boards and rainbow IDE cables!

The trend also has lots of RBG lights. We picked only lighted case fans and Brendan helped me to install.

With everything visible, wire management is key. It took a good deal of time to get everything connected AND looking pretty.

This side will be out of view, but order is still important

Successful first boot! Brendan has orange LED fans

Trevor has red.

My Steam game tester giving it a trial run. These things are fresh and speedy!
