Really enjoyed this build. Another SSF mITX build, this time featuring the Fractal Terra. This was a professional system instead of a gaming system, so the focus was on memory, core count, and storage within a set budget while keeping the system as quiet as possible. See the comments for more photos, as FB won't let me add photos and videos to the same post.
If you're wanting something a little different, or just want a better value than retail pre-builts, contact me for a consultation and let Tempered Tech Solutions make your PC dreams come true.

Update: I recently changed my monitor layout to the "Tie Fighter" layout for ergonomic reasons and relocated my PC to a rolling caddy under the desk, rasied about 5" off the ground to keep it away from the carper. The newest picture is the current layout.
So, a question I get a lot these days is about my own setup. People are curious what someone who builds and repairs systems professionally uses in their personal life. I work from home when not building systems, so my gaming setup and home office are one and the same.
My setup has been years in the making, with changes and additions taking place incrementally- sometimes for fun, and sometimes for work. It looks like a lot now, but I started with the basics just like many of you did.
I've filled my space with nerdy and geeky knick-knacks, as well as pictures and reminders of my son Nikolai to keep me motivated on those days when work seems to just drag by. It's my happy place (at least when I'm not clocked in, lol).
