Do you remember where/when you got the cryorig cooler?

I bought it in Qatar in 2017 iirc.
Nice cooler

Sharing a couple more of my older builds from my makerbeam era, haha. They were built to be used as bedside table lamps, one was a seedbox and the other was a streaming box. After years of being an Intel snob, I had switched over to building purely AMD-based systems, so these small builds featured rare and hard-to-find mini-itx motherboards. The green one was an industrial MSI RS690T with a Sempron LE1300, I'll post another previous build featuring that a little later. The other is a ASUS M4A88T-I with a forgotten processor.

At the time (2015), I discovered PrimeABGB had new-old-stock of high performing Thermalright heatsinks for Socket 775 at bargain basement prices, so I snatched up all that I could — here I'm using two of the Inferno IFX-14's, the idea was to have the fans spin as slow as possible to minimize noise since these computers were literally next to my pillow.

I initially attached led strips to each of the vertical panels, but later found the lightning effect to be more pleasing when the strips were only on the bottom panel. I experimented with both diffused panels and smoked black aryclic and ended up with the diffused ones even though the black ones looked way cooler. It was a decor decision, haha. These builds were very popular on reddit back then, and then about year later more than one cmoputer company started incorporating honeycomb cutouts/patterns in their products. That was very cool to witness.

The photo stickered to the diffused panels is my own, taken about ten years prior to this build with an ancient Olympus OM2SP and a 50/3.5 macro lens on Kodak E100G slide film.

Each of these measured 220mm x 220mm x 320mm, or 15.5L.
