Hi Guys, I've spent the last year researching, learning, designing, and finally building my new desk and pc workstation, and then overclocked it. I wanted to share the experience and talk about how I did it, I'm hoping you'll find this interesting/entertaining, hopefully if anyone else is looking to do something similar they can benefit from my experiences too. I've put all my pictures and videos and screenshots and graphs and tables into 2 videos, (about 14 mins long). I tried to keep the story telling pace similar to a podcast-style of show but still geared towards pictures and videos so it's more interesting and relevant. Let me know what you guys think?

(first half building the desk, choosing parts, unboxing, building PC and power on, second half Overclocking and Benchmarking)
