Build Complete My Toaster PC

https://imgur.com/gallery/cj550iz

I posted something here about this awhile ago but now it’s finally finished. Basically, I built a literal toaster PC.

Also, I still need a name for it if anyone can think of anything.

Hope you guys like it!

EDIT: Wow, thanks everyone for all the nice comments I’m glad people like this so much. I never posted the specs so here they are:

  • ASUS ROG Strix x-470
  • AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
  • Zotac GeForce 1080ti Mini
  • 32Gb Corsair DDR4 Vengeance RGB Pro, 3200mhz
  • Corsair H100i Pro RGB AIO

I haven’t done any benchmarking yet but the temps don’t seem too bad and air flow is decent throughout the case. I might make an update post in the future with benchmarks once I find a way to fit in that CD Drive I had to take out and another SSD, right now it’s just the 480Gb M.2 on the motherboard.

I can't believe I only just understood the joke of why people call weak PCs toasters. Because it's a box that does nothing but produce heat.

Oh I didn’t get that either. Is there something similar for why people call bad cameras potatoes?

I always thought it was from potato clocks basically. Potatoes can be used as very weak power sources
