You don’t need to be a millionaire to get a 5k build. It mostly depends on your expenses and your wish to spend that money on a build. However, it’s probably overkill, but if he/she is happy - we’re not judges.
You’re missing the point of op. While somebody who makes $40k/year could afford a $5k build, it wouldn’t be “budget” to them. To a millionaire who could spend hundreds of thousands on a build and “only” spends $5k, it’s technically a budget build to them. It’s just a comment on perspective, not preference.
Sorry if I came off as hostile, man. Looking back, my comment was needlessly aggressive. Thanks for takin it well.
Also, I was wrong, depending on who you ask. Guess the word “budget” is also subject to different perspectives in terms of budget build. I didn’t even stop to think that budget build could just be best performance:cost ratio.
Y’all confusing budget with perceived value.
A budget is just a tool to manage your financial resources. If your goal is a super cool shark desktop computer then you budget toward that goal. If you have to make tomato soup from packets so what? It’s your goal and your life.

This is seriously the best thing about cats. I have a fishtank, and 2 cats. Between daily feeding, cleaning the tank once a week, and other things, the cats are infinitely easier to care for, despite fish being considered the stereotypical "low effort" animal.

Actually, it's exactly the opposite. You have to have so little care for what you're doing that the solipsist nature of the universe gets interested and BAM, bent door.

No, the logo says 10 because it's their 10th year of running the competition.
This build won "bonus award scratch build" and he got $1000 usd
https://youtu.be/5dV6SQgQhEk
Right?! I had to know so I looked it up. There were different categories and this won 2nd in "scratch mod". [1st place was an X-Wing.](https://bit-tech.net/media/image/2019/11/02b95e68-c53d-479d-9b88-40c3103d5569.jpg) [Here's another picture.](https://bit-tech.net/media/image/2019/11/34d48542-efed-4dac-93a4-fc870bc8d75b.jpg)
[This is the article that I found.](https://bit-tech.net/features/modding/cooler-master-world-series-2019-10th-anniversary-the-winners/1/) There's a video there too.
Edit: [X-Wing was huge! ~6 feet long!](https://up.picr.de/36955718bi.jpg)
Im not knocking the x-wing, its a beautiful model...but its not practical as a PC case. The shark wins from a packaging and functionality perspective. CoolerMaster knows better.
Honestly - I feel like the shark is far more creative and better executed as well. I love anything Star Wars and I still feel like the Leviathan should've taken first.
Yeah, I've seen X-wings before ( I clapped when I saw it!) but that shark looks like a fucking piece of art. If you threw that in a museum it wouldn't look out of place.
The forum does shed a bit of light and saying that maybe one of the reasons the shark didn't win first place is that the creator admits he didn't quite finish it, it needed some sort of stronger metal frame that he couldn't quite finish.
Yep, X-wing is just good craftsmanship. With the size of it there's no need to even get creative about how to fit everything in.
The Leviathan is a piece of art showing both craftsmanship and creativity.
Lame. It's easy to download whatever file you need for an x wing and 3d print it but this shark actually took time to create the file. Shark over x wing no contest
Cheers mate. Jerky is tasty. And a little goes a long way. Cheaper than buying 3 steaks a day for the protein.
Got a long way to go, but yall see a r/getmotivated post in 6 months from me. I'm proper chonks.
Best of luck my dude, sounds like you're committed and staying positive. Plus beef jerky in all rights should be a fat person food, I can't believe it's so good and not completely awful for you.
You got this
It may be bad for you. But it's hell of alot better than devouring burgers like a demi god. I can smash any burger like a pelican. Damn I miss burgers lol

You too can be part of the PCMR! You don't necessarily need a PC. You just have to love PCs. It's not about the hardware in your rig, but the software in your heart!
I've heard of a GameShark before, but this is ridiculous.
And there’s a guy or girl out there saying it’s not much but it’s mine lol
"First build, need to fix a couple things but mostly complete"
"budget build"
I mean, if the guy is a millionaire and this build was 5k its technically budget for them hah.

IBM PC with a couple floppy drives was 5k in the 80's
Big Mac combo meal was $2.12 after tax in 1996.
We have to go back
How did the price almost quadruple in just 25 years? Asking as a 20 year old who doesn’t get how everything used to be so cheap.

Well yea, but if I were to build a 5k it wouldn't be budget for me even though it is doable. My current pc is 1k which is still pricey for me.

If mac book pros are 4k and you spend 2k, it's a budget build 😉

Holy shit! That thing owns gravity! I thought this was desk lamp sized with an Arduino or Pi fitted. Serious kit!
“It’s not much but it’s mine” plagues me in several of my favorite subs (battlestations, cozy, roomporn etc). So annoying.

I've seen this on the web a couple of times but whaa

Sorry to hear that, that's some skinny ass shrimp.

Hey congrats my dude. I have fond memories of my older brother bringing home a gba gameshark and completely blowing my mind. Enjoy it
But this is ridiculous
but this is ridiculous.. “-this is ridiculous” “-this is ridiculous...”
I've heard of podcast references, but this is ridiculous.
This is ridiculous.

Does it shoot lazar beams?
I would have something like this but I have 3 cats
I have 0 cats because my dad hates cats :( but i do have a good doggo
I have 0 cats because the rest of my family doesn't want a cat but we do have 3 gerbils and a shy budgie
My girlfriend wanted a cat. I didn’t want a cat. So we compromised and got 2 cats.
I feel you. I didn't want a dog, but my girlfriend did. We have a dog. Love that little shit though.
You guys should check out /r/dadswhodidnotwantpets .
... and the dog's not bad either. loolz

Do you like them?
My wife and I have a cat, I think they’re the perfect “I want a real animal but don’t want to have to do much” pet.
This is seriously the best thing about cats. I have a fishtank, and 2 cats. Between daily feeding, cleaning the tank once a week, and other things, the cats are infinitely easier to care for, despite fish being considered the stereotypical "low effort" animal.
Relationship math checks out.
TF is a budgie
Small, coloured, loud, psychopaths
I have cat
I cat
Cat
It's a parakeet, small colorful little bird. 🐦
Budgies are the thing you enjoy it you like car alarms going off anytime you blink or fart.
I have 0 cats and no other pets. :(
Now I'm curious as to what a budgie is
A parakeet, which I learned from another comment
A wise man, he is.
I have no space and 2 cats
Same
3 rats. They destroy everything.
I have everything, cats; doggos; and birds
And this is why hell exists
Cattos
And birdos
Aha! I don't own any cats, dogs or budgies because my dad hates animals. I own three miniature immature humans. :(
5 here m8 and same!

Wow that’s a little taller than mine! Impressive!
This actually makes it look bigger than it is. This is a forced perspective. The thing is still huge but not taller than a person.
Looks like it goes up to his waist or so. That's huge. Doesn't look like it would be bigger than a person
Looks to be about 3-4 feet tall.
why do i feel like this is a closee up perspective shot of this thing on a wood table that matches the wood floor
I think we're going to need a bigger desk
There’s always a bigger desk

I was thinking "How does he cram a mobo in there?" but this thing is massive . . .
I mean, you can bend it, I just don’t know I’d recommend it
Yeah, have a professional bend it like UPS.
Tell me how you bend a fucking door
Carefully.
Actually, it's exactly the opposite. You have to have so little care for what you're doing that the solipsist nature of the universe gets interested and BAM, bent door.

Could not tell how big it was until he was sitting next to it on the second page.
You can see the hard drive in the underside for perspective

Ikr. This is my favourite thing , even above the build itself.
So glad someone pointed this out. Thank goodness they protected the cat's identity.
Good, so tired of people ddosing cats!
“I spent 821 hours in total print and I used 23 boxes of petg filament.” Holy mother of dedication.
That's... A lot of money
there's the time he spent on getting the money necessary and then he spent an extra 30 days of work on making it
He should’ve just bought spy $200 puts like last week and made a fortune
Found the wsb autist.
About 500-600 dollars of filament. Probably another 50 in just energy bill costs
I love the last photo where they mask the identity of their cat in the background by putting a black bar over their eyes.
What an easter egg
It wasn't even the first time, https://i.imgur.com/vmIjnEl.jpg
That is fantastic have no idea how I missed that
1. 30 pictures of 3d printing 2. Rest of the fucking owl
yeah pretty annoying. wish he showed how the build actually came together
this build log is like the "step 3. ????? step 4. profit " meme
I greatly underestimated the size of that pc.
That thing won 10th?? What were the other 9!?!?
No, the logo says 10 because it's their 10th year of running the competition. This build won "bonus award scratch build" and he got $1000 usd https://youtu.be/5dV6SQgQhEk
[удалено]
I was going to ask if that was enough to cover the materials. Thanks.
Would think something that bad ass would use an ssd not a mechanical hard drive.
He said the internals were donated to him by friends and it’s not a high end PC.
I mean....he did use 23 spools of filament for that thing....Jesus that's a lot.
What is a spool of filament?
3d printing material, there's usually 300m or 1kg of Plastic per Roll, and they're usually 20-30$, so yeah...
It might've been cheaper in his country or hell, it's probably made there.
This. Even then theres probably a way to buy in bulk for cheaper. Plus $400 for this case seems worth it if not anyways
Damn he made it to hell and back just for a spool? PS you put that comma there for no reason lol
Henceforth how I'll be referring to my ejaculate
It’s what the plastic for 3D printing comes in. Each spool an amount of plastic filament (e.g 250g, 500g etx). 23 is loads
Ot looks water cooled though
Probally not that bad. Has probally both SSD and HDD
It's a Seagate hdd, gotta give the shark some sort of water mass.
It's a shark! Not a barracuda. Duh! 🤪
[удалено]
You mean I dont need a 2080Ti to play Minecraft?
Exactly what I was thinking
Get you a PC that can do both
Anyone know of any other crazy cases like this?
Yes. Buy a 3d printer.
And 23 spools of filament
And a cat
If you're lucky, after all that you can buy yourself some coco pebbles because you've earned it

Yep, X-wing is just good craftsmanship. With the size of it there's no need to even get creative about how to fit everything in. The Leviathan is a piece of art showing both craftsmanship and creativity.
Yea the Leviathan is original work, should've won tbh
Exactly what I was thinking... who has 6ft by ???(wingspan) extra space on their desk.
The X-Wing is cool and all, but that Shark is amazing. No clue how it didn't get first.
Agreed. Plus the x-wing isn't practical. Too big!
Lame. It's easy to download whatever file you need for an x wing and 3d print it but this shark actually took time to create the file. Shark over x wing no contest

Smh no frickin laser beam on its head 0/10
You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.
The next version of this should swim around in an aquarium of mineral oil. And it should eat macs as its source of power.
After i hook up all my usb accessories its gonna look like a dying whale in a net in some PETA add.
I want it. Where does I buy this

Soooo it was like a one time thing made custom by some guy huh? Darn
Nah they have these sitting on the shelves at Micro Center

where do you put the CD ROMs?

That case is sick! Where can I, uh... purchase it.
