PROJECT
OPPOSITION
DESCRIPTION
The time has come at last, it's time to retire ANIMUS and build a new PC. The new machine will be for gaming in super widescreen. This is going to be a long term project, but I got my parts list together. Since school's started, I'm going to be busy teaching but I hope to have some movement on this pretty quickly. My goal is to get it all together by my birthday (November).
I've got a few surprises up my sleeves for this one, but you can definitely expect the black and red color scheme to continue (obviously) with my signature Milano red. But the main thing is, I want a PC with some muscle behind it, this is what I've come up with (in my $3000 budget).
The focus of this project, big and bad on a budget. I'll also be adding a side-project PC alongside this one named LAMPREY.
