New Mid-Range PC

Posted on November 4, 2018July 19, 2021 by Joe Del Rocco

Built a new mid-range PC for ~$600 for my dad for his birthday. He mostly uses it for video streaming, the Internet, and office work, so… no separate video card 🙂 I could have saved money on a few things, but wanted high quality parts. The case for instance was pricey, but he wanted something extremely quite, and it lived up. He is very happy with the speed and silence!
