My love for pc gaming started nearly 30 years ago when I played Doom for the 1st time, so in between custom builds for my customers I've been working on this Ryzen/Windows 7 build for myself that I put together to run my old cd based games and as a tribute to the Doom game. My Windows 10, Ryzen Cane computer is still my daily driver so no worries for me about W7 being outdated. I've named it the "Doom Box" and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

1. Case: Coolermaster Haf XB Evo.

2. Cpu: I chose the Ryzen 2700x because it's plenty strong for my purposes and fairly easy to get working with W7 without the usb issues some people have with the 3000 and 5000 series.

3. CPU cooler: the tried and true AMD Wraith Prism.

4. Motherboard: B450 Tomahawk Max.

5. Memory: 32 gigs of G-Skill Trident Royal setting at DDR4-3200.

6. Drive: Samsung 980 Nvme 1tb.

7. Power supply: Evga 1000 watt gold.

8. Graphics card: Evga 3070 ftw.

9. Cooling: Twin 140mm intake fans. Two 120mm exhaust fans and two 80mm exhaust fans.

10. Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate was chosen to run all of my old cd based games.

11. Custom touches: Front fan grill has been painted lime green and then hot glued a Doom medallion to it. Lime green Doom decals on both side panels. Top panel metal fan grill has been replaced with translucent green acrylic and then drilled for the 120mm exhaust fan.

austin86: Same here in Ohio, not common but it happens, early this week we had ice rain 😮 Oct 17, 2024 8:10:10 GMT -5 *

zila1: Sometimes we have snow on the ground by Halloween. Let's see what happens this year. I only stepped outside twice today. It's just so nice and cozy in the house. Oct 16, 2024 18:11:07 GMT -5

austin86: car was iced over this morning here in ohio too. we be in winter again Oct 16, 2024 8:15:33 GMT -5

zila1: It's a little after midnight now and the thermometer on my deck is reading 29°F. It's nippy out there. Oct 16, 2024 0:11:52 GMT -5

zila1: ShrimpBrime: My crawl space is heated too. My basement is heated real nice too. It's warm and cozy down there. I work out during the winter months down there. Oct 16, 2024 0:08:23 GMT -5

ShrimpBrime: Yep, should snap the trees into dropping the leaves now. Summer to winter in just a week. Gotta love Chicago land!

My crawl space is heated. Cause if not, cold toes all winter on the main level

zila1: I just got a freeze warning for tonight on my pc and my cell phone. I'm gonna go out and drain the outdoor faucets and put freeze covers on them. I like that little added protection. Neighbor down the street forgot last year and his pipes burst. Ugh. Oct 15, 2024 10:59:32 GMT -5

austin86: zila1 my house was rewired by a X old order Amish guy... I know the pain of having to rewire stuff all to well. Fun times ! Oct 14, 2024 12:37:11 GMT -5

austin86: zila1 Hmm ours has a humidifier on it, maybe because its 90% one and not 98%. but now that I think of it I need to drain my heater heater, we never use hot water TBH so I'm sure its not to bad Oct 14, 2024 12:36:04 GMT -5

zila1: I have Peripheral neuropathy and can't take the cold weather very well so I try to prepare my house for it as best I can. Hence all of the stepped up maintenance at this time of year. Oct 14, 2024 12:22:17 GMT -5

zila1: I do this every year in hopes of coasting thru the winter with as little problems as possible. I also have a whole house back-up generator to maintain. 24KW Generac. I love that thing. Easily powers the whole house during an outage. Ice storms can suck. Oct 14, 2024 12:19:23 GMT -5
