Building the Giveaway Computer: A Heartwarming Story of Community and Collaboration
We are currently live on Twitch, building a stunning giveaway computer for our audience. As we work on this project, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to everyone who has contributed to this endeavor. We're thrilled to have received an outpouring of support from our friends, viewers, subscribers, and YouTube followers, all of whom have helped us upgrade the components and make this computer truly special.
The motherboard is the heart of this system, and we've opted for the EVGA x58 sli three motherboard, which promises great performance. We've also added eight gigs of DDR3 1600 memory to ensure smooth operation. The CPU is a 6-quart, 12-thread Xeon W 3680, fully overclockable for maximum efficiency. With these components in place, we're confident that our giveaway computer will be capable of handling even the most demanding tasks.
One of the standout features of this build is the graphics card. We've upgraded from a budget-friendly Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti to a more powerful Asus Dual-GTX 1060, which boasts three gigs of VRAM and dual fans for improved cooling. The "Asus dual" refers to the fact that it's a dual GPU configuration, but in this case, it's actually a single card with two GPUs merged into one package.
The case is another story altogether. We're using the Raid Max Monster 2 Tempered Glass Edition, which is a top-of-the-line enclosure that promises great airflow and aesthetics. The tempered glass side panel provides an unobstructed view of the internal components, while the sleek black and white design ensures that this computer will blend seamlessly into any environment.
Cooler Master has also joined in on the fun, sending over some RGB fans and a heatsink to enhance our cooling system. We're using a standard EVGA 600-watt power supply, which provides ample power for all of the components. The LED strip that comes with the power supply is a nice touch, adding an extra layer of visual flair to the build.
For storage, we've opted for a 1TB SSD and a 500GB hard drive, both of which will provide plenty of space for our operating system, programs, and data. The 7200 RPM hard drive may seem old-fashioned compared to newer options, but it still offers respectable performance and capacity.
As we prepare to finish the build, I want to take a moment to acknowledge some of the challenges we've faced along the way. One minor issue is that the backplate didn't quite fit properly, which means we had to get creative with our installation process. However, the end result is well worth it – this computer looks stunning.
The cooler master fans and RGB controller have added an extra layer of sophistication to the build, perfectly synchronizing the lighting with the LED strip on the power supply. We've also managed to squeeze in a fan for the CPU cooler, which was previously lacking. The result is a system that not only performs admirably but also looks fantastic.
I'd like to extend my gratitude to everyone who has supported us on this journey. From our viewers and subscribers to those who donated during our 24-hour stream, your contributions have made this giveaway possible. Special thanks go to Cooler Master for providing some amazing parts and Raid Max for the incredible case.
