Right. Few changes coming soon at Alien Towers. I currently have a PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, media PC and a server. It's all a bit cluttered. Oh,and a self built NAS.
I've decided to roll most of it into one. Sell the consoles and accessories (because I can't use them now any way, they are behind the TV) and just build one rig that does the audio, gaming and storage sharing. Though to be fair with a decent PC I won't need to actually share the music etc because it will be ran using it.
I thought about removing the hoopty 2080Ti from the loop at mum's and putting the Kingpin in, but I would rather have a complete spare rig. I hate down time.
Loose specs.
1920X Threadripper
Gigabyte Aorus Pro TR4
64GB RAM
2080Ti Kingpin
Gigabyte 850w Aorus Pro PSU (not a splodey one)
Corsair H100
960GB Revodrive
two 1tb SATA SSD
Two 2tb spinning drives
For a case I will be using this.
It has "slight marks" on one side apparently. I'm not too bothered about that because the price was good and they haven't made them for four years. Given there was only 2000 made and most of them from the looks of it went out to reviewers and influencers? I'm stoked with it. It's painted, so I can always do some touch ups. The most important thing was being able to hold two 240 AIOs with fans on. Most mid tower cases don't allow a rad and fans above the mobo, it's fans only. That extra height seems to come at a high price.... Plus it is large enough to hold everything else.
