The build started about 5 years ago, did everything on a very tight budget and most of it is second hand bought or even given to me.
About 5 years ago I started with a tiny wooden desk that my grandpa made when he was younger.
I had a 19 inch monitor and a very cheap computer.
Played games on there for days at a time..
Then I got some upgrades for my computer.
Went from an AMD Opteron to a FX8370E and my gpu went from a GeForce 8600GTS to a R9 290 and the improvements were massive!
My parents gave me a 24 inch monitor and gave my 19" monitor away to a young kid who had the same 19", so then he had 2, he's happy and I was happy.
I loved my the parts I had but not the case, it was a 25 euro case but it did have a window though!
Then I found gamingtribe, a community of gamers from all over the world and made lots of friend on there and bought a case from some one who's also from the Netherlands, the Corsair 750D.
Love this case and will never sell it because the friend I bought it from passed away a year and a half later.
I went on the hunt for water cooling parts and watercooled the cpu and gpu, it looked awesome and got great responses from the gaming community.
I have a great neighbour, he gave me his spare 24" monitor and a very large corner desk which I wrapped with white plastic foil and am very happy with the result!
Eventually the cpu became a bottleneck in lots of games so I sold all the watercooling parts and got new hardware.
Z270 gaming M7, 7700K, corsair ram, corsair H115i and the Samsung m.2 ssd.
A friend of mine gave me his Logitech G502 because he got the newer model.
So yeah, almost everything is second hand or even given to me.
If people want I can show my cable management which I'm really proud of ???? hope you all like it.
