Appalachian Digital

Ultra compact build purpose built for touring, projection mapping and digital arts. Base case is an Skyreach 4 Mini from Not From Concentrate for it's heroically small footprint, powerful hardware compatibility, modder ethos, and beautiful craftsmanship.

The caseis stock for now but will involve copper powder coating (side panels or tray, not sure which yet), and a front panel made of locally sourced live edge cedar and translucent blue resin casting. I might embed LED down the line.

Parts list follows below.

Intel i7 6700k (looking at Ryzen 3 but see no reason to upgrade yet as my applications are predominately single threaded)
Asrock Fatality( i refuse to spell it as advertised) z270 Mini itx (picked for onboard thunderbolt 3)
Zotac GTX 1080 Mini (no upgrade planned)
intel 600p 500gb m.2 NVME (looking to move to 1TB, will avoid QLC)
16GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 (moved down to 16 when i went ITX but looking to upgrade)
3x 2TB 2.5" 5400 rpm hard drives from Seagate in RAID 0.
Logitech k830 (often have to work across a room or even upside down...)
Logitech MX Ergo Wireless Trackball (#trackballforlife)
