Hello everyone,
I am starting my first ever real custom build. By that I mean painting and modding a case not buying parts and putting a computer together. Anyway a little about me I am 26 (currently) im going to school for my CCNA but some of the other classes im taking are Cisco security, windows server and VM management. most of my classes are intro classes as of right now but after taking some of them i thought it would be a good idea if i had a home server. to practice with VM's and managing servers. not trying to do anything crazy. well i have always liked how the G5 case looked and i finally got one for free so thought id try to build a "study" computer.
Parts list: None as of now dont know what i need for what i would so please any advice is great but trying to keep it cheap and Quite. i want it to have almost no noise. i want a mobo with WIFI and Bluetooth (if possible trying to limit wires out the back)
Goal for build: host a few VM's and store some files. might stream videos later on.
Case: i was going to paint the sides dark blue with white on the middle / inside. put a full atx mobo inside.
Ty for reading this is my first post here also first time doing a build log so please bare with me.
