Ultimate TR workstation

I was lamenting the fact that building my own PC meant I couldn't have a case that looks like the Alienware Area-51 I started to look at (until peeps at L1 Forums talked me into building my own PC). I was all ready to go Fractal Design R6 Gun Mental....now I'm rethinking this. I also see that Wendell was true to his word that his mobo of choice was the Gigabyte Designare rocking Linux goodness. That's my goal. Thanks for this video, Wendell. I immensely enjoyed it. I will echo others....please do more videos pertaining to this machine. I would totally love to see how you built this from parts (if you shot that video). I will stalk the L1 site looking for a continuation of vids pertaining to this system.

This case is cool. How the heck does it walk the line between being boring and something I'd be embarrassed to own. It's different and extravagant, but not teen aged "gamer" fantasy status.

ArhGee

Wendell at the beginning of the video, "This isn't something I'd buy personally." Wendell at the end of the video, "I could see myself buying this." It's almost like the case grew on him while making the video haha. I think it looks really cool and would definitely show it off if I had one.

Liked that you are staying functionally focused and still appreciate an "arty case". Interested in seeing your DevOps environment as well. I am a software developer who like to reach into neighboring teams areas of expertise.

Great, great video guys! I love the Threadripper content you guys are putting out. I'm really interested to see your DevOps build with Fedora. I have a Fedora workstation that utilizes a local Terraform build for deployments. We also use Chef, OpenDaylight, and Go tools for various things. But, alas, I've said too much ;D

great video, i realy like the way you placed the radiator on the side. Getting a good airflow and having a ornamental front side normally don mix.

Needs new thread-ripper, moar ram, and moar optane.!

I think a video about finishing out this build for DevOps would be AWESOME! And I agree, it looks even more amazing standing upright. It should be pretty straight forward to add feet or to come up with a support structure of some sort that fits the aesthetics of the case.

PCI mods?

Excellent Video - I'd love the DevOps Workstation! It's what my next build is going to be; after hearing how TR2 is received by Level1 and others. Yes please for Workstation, Linux Video!

W00t. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this since the Twitter sneak peek came out
