|Building the Perfect Computer
This blog post is part of a series on my experience building my perfect computer. As part of my job at Member.buzz, I needed a high-performance computer for programming, graphic design, and video rendering. I also wanted it to look the part; looking as beautiful on the outside as it is in the inside.
Before we get to far, here is a video showing the result:
Through the process, I did a lot of research and found answers to some obscure prolems. I hope that some of the information I found can help others as they go through their journey.
My overall goal was to build a top-of-the-line custom computer while ensuring that it would be reliable enough to use as my everyday work computer (although I deviated a bit from the reliability requirement with my custom water-cooling solution).
