A laptop that was supposedly push me deeper into music production, unfortunately it died early on it's run and wasn't been able to complete the job it was supposed to do. This was the time when mobility starts to make sense on my daily operations. It died not long enough to have it's own name.

Minerva(2013-2020)

The real first desktop that I built. Used this when I first got serious in software development and basically built my portfilio on this machine. No overclocking was done bacause I prioritize stability over performance this time. This also where I started producing music, what a workhorse.

Specs:

  • CPU: AMD A8 6600k APU 3.9Ghz

  • Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64Bit

Change Logs:

  • Upgraded my GPU to Sapphire R9 380X 4GB(with backplate version). This made the gaming experience to a another level. Skyrim with tons of texture mods is crazy.

  • Upgraded my CPU Cooler to Noctua NH-L12. I picked this model due to Fractal Design Core 1000's height clearance but there are definitely better options on the price that I got this.

  • Upgraded my OS drive to Samsung 860 Evo 256GB SSD, this keeps me from reformating my PC every 6 months or so from slowing down.

  • Installed another Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD for storage expansion.

  • Gave to a friend who needs a desktop machine
