When Antec released the Striker, I knew I had to build in it. It just needed a splash of colour. My plan was to paint some of the outer plates, but otherwise run a straight-forward build.
Years of distro-hopping, dual booting, and incrementally upgrading my storage drives has left my PC a mess of partitions. Bombshell will exclusively run desktop-Linux, and take over all software development from my now-gaming PC.
System
CPU - AMD Ryzen 3900X
GPU - AMD Radeon 5700 XT
Mobo - Asus Strix X570-I
PSU - Seasonic Prime Ultra 850[W]
RAM - G.Skill Trident Z Neo 3600 2x16Gi[B]
SSD1 - Samsung 970 Pro 1T[B]
SSD2 - Samsung 970 Evo 500G[B]
I wanted orange lighting on the inside, and something dark on the outside to complement it. That finally gives me an opportunity to paint something regal purple.
Well, that's... not a wrap. My plan (or lack thereof) called for a bit of purple to look done, but since it replaced all the white, the whole case was now too dark. I also hadn't given much thought to the tube routing, and realized the reservoir, tubes, and power cables weren't going to fit. It's going to be a real project!
