    Hello Aveeux, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/gamingpc) if you have any questions or concerns.*

  2. It has been a long time coming but after 8 years, I finally got to build my own PC. I absolutely had no experience how to build one before, so I had to do a lot of research before attempting to do so. I’m pretty satisfied with how everything turned out.

    It was a really fun experience. I learned a lot along the way, I came across undervolting, overclocking, fan curves, and a bunch of other stuff that I was too afraid to mess with, let alone, learn about before – it was scary but exciting at the same time!

    I went with an all-black/stealth kinda build which I’ve always wanted, then threw in an LED strip at the top to bring some accent to the build.

    Here’s a video of it: https://youtu.be/OEkWxmr-7qI

    oh I like that case you got, glass case covers or plexiglass. Looks great. Got an optiplex with RGB on the powersupply and want to at least, modify the side cover to have a clear plexiglass or whatever its called maybe just plastic not sure what to call it. All looks great what you put together
