Don’t get me wrong, I dig the videos from ETA Prime (he does a LOT of videos on SFF/ITX builds) but I’m slightly irked by the concept that seems to be prevalent lately regarding “builds.” Pardon my soapbox, but for me, a build involves buying a case, power supply, mainboard, CPU, cooler, RAM and a graphics card. This is basically taking a preexisting computer, blowing out the dust bunnies and slapping a dedicated (gaming) graphics adapter inside it. Possibly upgrading the power supply and (in this case) installing a different OS. This, to me, is “upgrading” and not building. The PC is already built. For videos of this type I prefer Toasty Bros, since they do a wider variety of these types of videos where they actually build (and upgrade/refurbish) a wide variety of systems (stepping down from soapbox).
