What Are You Building or Planning to Build This Summer

[Coastal Current]

Summer tends to be good build season: longer days, motivation to have a machine ready before autumn, and sales around this period can surface good component deals.

What are you working on? A new main rig, a server build, a small form factor project, a NAS, something unusual? Where are you in the process and what decisions are you still making?

[Aura49]

Planning a NAS build for home media and backup. Been putting it off for two years because the software configuration felt intimidating. Finally committed and am in the component selection phase

[CodyRhodes]

Small form factor build for a secondary machine. Main constraint is finding a case that fits my PSU requirement and still has reasonable airflow

[Kieron78]

Upgrading my main rig GPU. Everything else is still solid but the graphics card is showing its age for the games I am playing

[MurkyVoyager]

First build ever. Am doing it right because I want to understand what I am actually buying rather than just assembling parts

[RomanReigns02]

Home server for self-hosting. Partly privacy motivation, partly wanting to control my own data, partly just interested in the project

[Hitman04]

The thing I wish I had known on my last build is that cable management is worth taking seriously before you put the GPU in, not after

[Falcon]

Waiting to see what the next generation GPU release does to current generation pricing before committing
