New cursed music production rig is complete. I call it The Rat. It features a passively cooled Ryzen 7 5700G, a fanless power supply, and solid-state storage, meaning it has no moving parts whatsoever. This means it is totally silent - ideal for making music.

This is the first PC I built... took me a week. It's for my brother who wanted blue that swells into whites back into blue.
When it came time to name his PC (after a month of jokes. His old PC is called potato, so mom suggested sweet potato. I kept calling it Only Fans ) he just wanted to name it Box.
I present to you: the Solid-State PC. This machine features a completely static layout with no moving parts whatsoever - no fans, no spinning drives. Even the power supply is fanless. The frame that everything is mounted to is made of scrap wood that I found laying around, plus a random metal U thing that I added upon seeing how big the cooler is.
Specs:
CPU: AMD Athlon 3000G (which I plan to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 5600G with a BIOS update)
GPU: Radeon Vega 3 (will upgrade to Vega 7 when I swap in the 5600G)
RAM: 16GB DDR4-2666MHz
Storage: 1TB WD Green SN350 M.2 SSD
OS: Linux Mint 21.2 "Victoria"
The original goal was to use the 5600G for gaming, as it is effectively self-contained and doesn't really need a graphics card. That said, the Athlon 3000G that it currently runs seems to do shockingly well in most of the games that I play! Guess I don't really need that much power after all. (I'm still totally swapping in the 5600G once the thermal paste comes in)
