Who cares about the specs. Look at that metal work
He spend that much effort and money into a sweet build.... rank a lot higher with decent hardware, he has
a glorified NUC in there, maybe $500 of components in a massive workload and customization of a modded PC !
Least put an I7 in there and a decent GPU..... added extra cost maybe $300 ..... he has more than that in just sheet metal !!!
Upgrade is always an option tho !!!!! But should always start out with key components and go from there ! Love the build, but
my phone is almost as fast ! LOL Again....still loving the build overall !
( Let's build a Lamborghini body but put Hyundai parts to power it ) Looks hot.... but got to push start it ! LOL
