The Clean Machine

My second build ever and my first build that wasn't on a hard budget. I'm a college student who is taking my setup with me a lot so mATX in a mini tower was a clear choice. I had already bought the 1080 Gaming X a few months prior to this to upgrade my old build, and decided to go all out with the red/black theme on this build. I apologize for the horrible pics, they were taken on my phone.

I really like clean, simple looking builds. This is why I adore Fractal Design cases, and I like the look of the Define Mini C more than the Meshify Mini C. This philosophy guided my entire build, and I'm pretty happy with the end result. Enjoy!
