Reliable streaming PC
My good friend Ed required a reliable streaming PC for spoken content creation with light WoW sessions. We picked some parts based off of his preferences and came up with something I could guarantee for very high reliability. Due to Covid restrictions I only had 1 hour to construct the machine and 1 hour to load windows 10, patch it, load iCUE, load Nvidia GeForce experience, load MSI AfterBurner, and bench mark the machine. We are both quite happy with the results though we will likely play with the fan curves later as right now the fans barely turn which is great for noise but it is slightly warmer than we would like.

1 Hour to build
With only 1 hour to build the machine some of the cable management took second fiddle to focusing on testing the machine. I really enjoyed the ease and location of the Phanteks cable straps the convenient holes on the back. The sliding plates made visually improving the front of the machine far easier as well. But there are things I would change given more time, or if I would have been picking all of the parts not just gluing the machine together.
First of all I would have chosen different fans for the front and rear of the case. Using the included 140MM fans with out RGB kind of detracts from the amount of white and the quantity of light the can bounce around in the spacious case. Some of the Corsair QL140's would absolutely improve the look and would have greatly improved the feature set in iCUE as well.
Secondly I would have chosen different power supply cables. Using the included cables really made an upper limit for how clean we could get things like the exposed ATX connection and the video card 8 pin due to the construction of the Corsair included cables. The cables are mechanically fine, but they twist around a fair amount and the video card using a loop cable that just looks bad when the video card only utilizes 8 pins total not an 8+6 or 8+8 configuration.
All said building in the Phanteks Eclipse 600S was a dream. The back has plenty of room, with a noise dampened magnetic attach door. The front has wonderful hinged tempered glass side panels, and the top and front have removable cover plates that really give you options for air flow.
