Case arrived, finally not on the box of shame

A user completed a personal computer build, moving it from a box to a Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL case, featuring an AMD Ryzen 3900X, ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE motherboard, 64GB DDR4 RAM, a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro SSD, and two AMD Radeon PRO W9700 AI Pro GPUs, running Proxmox for AI agent sandboxes and GPU passthrough inference.

The case for my build finally arrived so I could finally take it off the box of shame.

This has been cobbled together with as many parts as I could that I already had which is why some of the choices are a bit random.

2x32GB DDR4 3200

3900X

ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE

1TB 980 Pro

Some random 2TB sata ssd’s I had lying around

2x r9700 ai pros

ASRock PG 1600G

Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL

Running proxmox so I can have some sandboxes for agents to play in and an inference vm with the gpu’s passed through. I have p2p working as well which is nice.

Don’t mind the mess in the background, me and horizontal surfaces do not get along.

Edit: forgot to include the box photo

So much room for activities!

Maybe some day, I do have an internal yearning for more . This is already expensive for what is already effectively a toy, chance of ROI for this other than learning(if you wanna count that) is basically 0.
