Welcome to my build log! This is not my first build, but it is the first time that I’ve done a build log on Extremehw
**** CAUTION WILL BE ALLOT OF MODDING / PICTURES****
Scope of Project - Estimated Completion:
This is going to be a long-term project for me. I have always been one to “quick tear it down, do the upgrade, and quick get it back together I need my rig”, I’m sure many of you can relate to that. My current machine is serving me well, so now I can take my time on this one without having to rush anything. I want to enjoy the ride!
I estimate this to be completed no sooner than the end of this year 2023, or more likely early 2024. When it’s done it’s done. I am very busy at times, so there might be several weeks or even several months at a time when little may get done. Just hang in there with me and you’ll be glad you did.
Plus the hardware I plan to put in this build will not be available until the second half of this year. I have lots to do meanwhile. I see so many people buy all their hardware first, and then by the time they are done with the build the hardware is a generation or two old. By the time I buy the hardware for this build, the case, radiators, fans, most of the water cooling, plumbing and wiring will all be done. It will be a complete chassis just waiting for some awesome hardware.
Naming:
Some who may know me from OCN or personally know I lost my mother to Lung cancer; it was the reason why I got into folding@home. Well at the beginning of this year I lost my mother-in-law to pancreatic cancer. So needless to say, this build will be a tribute to both my mothers and the name speaks for itself!
