Request #1

Partial PC Build (needed power supply, graphics card, and hard drives)

Who: Russell Y.
When: May 2018

Customer was gifted a partially-built PC in May of 2018. PC arrived physically intact (although I later discovered the AMD Radeon R9 390 graphics card provided was actually Dead on Arrival), but was missing a PSU and some hard drives, which I supplied. I also did some tidying up of the cable management of the person who put the system together originally, but a full cleanup would require full disassembly of the system, which the customer did not want me to do at the time. The choice of case (the NZXT Phantom 530 White) also made things interesting, as cable management isn’t the easiest in that case.

(Photos coming soon, I promise!)
