For a while now, I've been wanting to A) Build a PC for my girlfriend, since she likes to play games with me and I just think it's a really cool gift, and B) Build a mini ITX PC. When I told her about the idea and started showing her case options, she started saying how she thought a case that looks like a storm trooper would be cool. I've always loved Phanteks cases, and the EVOLV Mini had the perfect look to it. I then looked around on Etsy for storm trooper vinyl decals, and found a couple that would be pretty awesome. The front one was much bigger than I was expecting but it actually fit PERFECTLY with the shape of the case! I love that I was able to get a Riing fan facing the window panel, it's a nice touch.
As far as components go, I mostly wanted to go toward the budget end of things while still providing her a PC that will run most games at 60 fps. I used the 950 in my PC for a while and it's actually quite a little beast! I'll be updating with temperatures and letting yall know how it runs in general, but as of right now I'm thrilled with the outcome, and so is she! :)
