Home for my last summer battlestation

Jul 30, 2017 8:09 PM

I'll be heading out for my last year of college soon, but thankfully this summer my parents moved into their retirement house so I got to enjoy it with them. Since I'm ballin' on the college budget I've been blessed with finding amazing new and used deals to have ALL of the computer/audio parts pictured here for under $1500, which I've paid for by building/fixing computers for people.

I apologise for the cable management, I didn't see a reason to do it too carefully given I'm about to leave
