The whole DIY Steam Machine was kinda an itch to see if I could build one with the parts I already had and to see if there were going to be any issues with the OS, software, things like that. However, after playing some games on it and just enjoying it: I think I'm gonna keep this build around for awhile.
There are a few issues that need to be addressed: the components are friggin' hot. The 5950X 7900XT combo in that small case is not helping out at all. The NCASE M1 is be…

3. A person removed all of their documents stored in the ROOT folder. Did a "del *.*". When prompted "are you sure?" they typed yes! Emergency purchase of Norton undelete quickl…

Finished up with the build, turned out pretty well. I do wish I had some quieter fans, but considering the space constraints I'm happy that they work as well as they do. The 240mm AIO keeps CPU cool enough though I worry that the Radeon 7900XT is going to catch fire considering airflow, but it was well-behaved while testing it out.
