My first battlestation pic!
It was not my first battlestation, but it was the first one I took a picture of.
My second battlestation pic
I moved shortly after the first picture. You can tell I had bad taste and a bad camera in 2008.
My first crypto mining rig!
I mined quite a few BTC on this guy. But don't worry, I sold them when they were $90 and then forgot about it for a while. I had not heard of HODL yet...
2012 Major Upgrade
At this point I had enough money from a new job to splurge a little.
Put together and looking good.
Splurge I did with the Radeon HD 6950s in Crossfire! As was the style at the time.
The giant Thermaltake Level 10!
I got this chassis because it was huge! Lots of room for activities inside! I kept it up until 2022.
Ryzen!
I was stoked when Ryzen came out and this is my first Ryzen system! Just a simple little HTPC.
The HTPC chassis was a bit small
The chassis was old and not really meant for Ryzen systems, not everything fit where it was supposed to.
Second mining rig
My old mining rig was not up to the task anymore, so I had to level up.
Cheap as possible build
Built a computer in 2020 for as cheaply as possible. It would be for my roommates to use.
Light's everywhere
Not so much RGB as just R. But they all light up! With water cooling on both the CPU and GPU.
Coming together
The chassis didn't exactly support water cooling properly so it had to be modified.
Put together
All used parts, including an i7-4770k and GTX 980ti, made for a very capable system for next to nothing.
Lights!
It lights up! But, as I said it was a super budget build so it only lights up red.
My oldest GPU
This is my oldest GPU that is still in it's shrinkwrap. It's not a very good one, but it has never seen the light of day!
Things are getting out of hand
GPUs are getting bigger and CPUs are getting hotter.
It's getting hard to fit everything
So much power and so much heat. Everything is competing for a smaller amount of fresh air now!
A new Chassis for me
I finally got a new chassis after lugging around the Thermaltake Level 10 for so long!
A Ryzen for the Wife
I picked my blue case to match the pink case my wife chose
Finally some color
You don't have to worry so much about color matching the inside when the outside brings it's own
