The AMD will now be sitting across. Eventually upgrade with a new SFX PSU and chip. It will be a rendering machine.

Ugly but I love it. Looks like a mechanical room. Cooler Master 140mm and an Corsair ATX Gold 750.

The Clean Cut

A while back I've decided to build an Intel based unit in the future after I build the AMD.

I really wanted do a none-rgb setup or atleast a minimal rgb setup.
Saw the Phantek Evolve Shift XT on 2 YT channels (Jaztwocent & Linus Tech Tips).
I knew it was the case I've been looking for. Very architectural.

While the parts are at a reasonable price. I started to gathering the goodies.

Like every build there are always drama. Burned a Z690i mobo while making this.
The mobo is salvageable but I'll do that later.

Anyway here it is...
