New PC Build and Benchmarks!
A week before the Coronavirus lockdown, I replaced the old Shuttle XPC computer that I built in 2010 as my primary workstation at home. A lot has changed since then! I decided on a stylish, full sized HTPC case with ATX motherboard instead of the Shuttle barebones kits I've been using from Newegg since 2004. I sourced the parts thru the local Microcenter in Richardson - apparently Fry's isn't what it used to be, and I didn't want to wait on shipping. Special thanks to The Tech Buyer's Guru for design inspiration and component recommendations!
