The build bug strikes again! New Mini-itx gaming/htpc building coming up soon! =========== #pc #pcbuilder #pcbuilding #pcbuilder #minipc #minipctower #miniitx #miniitxbuild #adata #gigabyte #raijintek #seagate #amd #amdryzen52400g #amdravenridge #coolermaster #corsair #asrock #nerdy #nerdygirl #girlswhobuild #girlbuildspc #buildingcomputers #buildingpc #gamingpc #gtx1060 #geforcegtx1060 #gamingpc #htpc #gamergirls #gamenerd #girlgamers

Hmm.... I've fallen into the rabbit hole of cable management. 🐰🐰 Trying to re-re-re organize this chaos (third time the charm?) So that I can play the games tonight after testing a faulty MSI GeForce 1070 x 8g (for a co-worker) and putting back in my rog strix 1060 O6G. #pcbuiling #cablemanagement #bringiton #nzxt #gamingpc #pcgaming #computerhardware #asus #rogstrix #gamergirl #nerdygirl #girlgamer #wires #custompc #buildingcomputers

We have an I7 8700 unboxing going on over here, the new build begins. #pcgaming #pcmasterrace #pcbuild #buildingcomputers #Intel #i78700 #gigabytes

It’s been a while since I’ve gotten to build a #computer.... I got my degree in 93’ then became a carpenter, but I still love #buildingcomputers... fun fun. #coolermasterpro5 #evgaclc280 (at Vienna, Virginia)

My second custom PC build. For gaming, possible future streaming, photo editing, movie making and more since @maemaetwin has the other one Cable management is not the best because of the compact size. Other then that, it's pretty. #pcgaming #amd #amdryzen7 #nzxt #asus #phanteks #deepcool #rgbsplitter #logitech #gskillripjaws #gamingpc #pcgamer #custompc #pcbuilding #buildingcomputers #computerhardware #gaminghardware #asusrog #samsung #windows7 #gaming

I’m finally back home in St. Louis, and as far as I can tell, the “soberly drunk” post-cruise phase has passed. (I wonder if altitude has anything to do with it.)  Upon my return home, K, lovely husband that he is, presented me with a gift.  ‘Twas an ‘empty’ computer tower. He then showered me with other gifts. Computer parts.  To say that I’ve never handled the inside of a computer would be a lie. I once took a semester long class on computer engineering back in middle school. I don’t actually remember much from that class, except the teacher using a joke to call me ugly in front of my classmates. (wish I was kidding). If I recall, I took it only because it was ‘partnered’ with a woodshop class the following semester. If I wanted woodshop, I had to take computer engineering.  So, confused, I opened all the little packages, excited yet terrified about this piece of machinery.  “Best part is,” K told me, “is YOU’RE going to build it.”  This is something that I really admire about K. He doesn’t take that stereotypical husband approach and does the thing for the wife. He does the thing, while teaching the wife how to the thing, so wife can do the thing with him.  But speaking of stereotypes, I couldn’t help but wonder. Is the “help wife get awesome new computer with hardcore parts” a guy thing, or a Korean thing? Can either of those concepts explain what’s happening here?  It’s no secret that Koreans are hard core about their gaming and computer prowess. But American guys are also pretty hardcore given the chance. Where is the line drawn?  In my opinion, it’s a K thing. He loves to game, and loves having capable machines with which to game. It may be that the environment which shaped him as a person influenced him, but it does not dominate him. That enthusiasm has rubbed off on me, so now it’s an ‘us’ thing.  Of course, if I can only get this darn computer to actually boot!.... I’d be happy. (Turns out the motherboard wasn’t up to date with the cpu. Who would have thunk.)

When you live with one engineer and two future engineers, this is what your kitchen table looks like #EngineersAtWork #superkids #buildingcomputers

So everything is hear and ready to build! #computers #AMD #Intel #Asus #XSPC #buildingcomputers
