Hey ok so I'm gonna note these down in case you wanna partition your hard drives/ssds

262,140 MiB is 256 GBs

131,070 MiB is 128 GBs

Use those as a base and work from there.

Sometimes I wish I was one of those tech youtubers so I could build computers for fun. Even though it was a huge pain in the ass, I really enjoyed building my computer, particularly designing and building the watercooling loop. Maybe I'll do some tweaks to the loop when it's time to change out the fluid, just to scratch that itch to build.

So according to the guys at the Apple store, whatever happened to my computer they have never seen before.

Luckily some fancy type of reset fixed everything, but I still have no idea what the hell happened.

So finally here is the very last post about this computer. I was hoping to get several pictures, but photographing the black lights and getting everything to show up and be the right color was way more difficult than I expected. But yay, it’s finally done! I’ve only run a couple games so far but man, ultra graphics with no lag is really something else.

For those who are interested, I’ll post the components below the cut!

Who knew the toughest part of this computer build would be installing fucking windows...

Suddenly the memory of why I never wanted to build my own computer again is coming flooding back to me.

Fun fact about sleeving your own computer cables: you will burn the shit outta your fingers.

Final computer components have been ordered and should be here by next Friday which means in two weeks... it starts...
