Default I Built a Gay Computer

Did you ever see anything so gay?:





The CPU fan and RAM have moving rainbow colors, not that I wanted it! The Ryzen 7 2700X only comes with a gay cooler and, although I can buy non-gay RAM, it is more expensive.

So, I covered the gay up with a homophobic case cover:



In case (pun intended) you are wondering, my old computer is to the left of it and it has the same case because I bought two cases about 20 years ago. The smaller bay is for a 3.5 inch floppy drive. Whippersnappers don't know what that is.

If you buy a new computer, the case will probably have a transparent cover to expose the gay.

Anyway, here is a list of parts with the prices that I paid:

AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor with Wraith Prism LED Cooler - YD270XBGAFBOX $269.00 (no tax, free shipping)

ASUS B450 AMD Ryzen 2 ATX Gaming Motherboard AM4 DDR4 HDMI DVI M.2 USB 3.1 Gen2 (Prime B450-Plus) $89.99 (plus IL tax, free shipping)

EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W, 3 Year Warranty, Power Supply 100-W1-0500-KR, Black $24.99 (plus IL tx, free shipping)

WD Blue 3D NAND 500GB PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm - WDS500G2B0A $79.99 (plus IL tx, free shipping)

G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16D-16GTZR $139.99 (free shipping, plus IL tax)

Case, chassis fan, monitor, DVD drive and graphics card were on hand. I am testing it with Linux Mint.

On order, I will put in this graphics card:

EVGA GeForce GT 1030 DDR4, 02G-P4-6232-KR, 2GB SDDR4, Passive, Low Profile $77.99 each (no tax, $9.38 shipping)

and this operating system:

MICROSOFT WINDOWS 10 PRO PROFESSIONAL 32-BIT&64-BIT OEM FULL VERSION $45 (free shipping and no tax)

Approximate Total Cost = $750
