The Builder's Machine

MY RIG

This is the machine I build on, benchmark on, and use every day. A compact Lian Li A3-mATX housing a 9800X3D and RTX 5090 — overclocked, tuned, and stress-tested. Every client build is held to this standard.

Front glass panel — WowNova display and RGB fans
Angled 3/4 view — wood side panel and display
Wood slat side panel — Lian Li A3-mATX
