LGR - The Metalfish Aquarium PC (Patreon)

https://youtu.be/Xa-iYR2aJNE

Here we are, the final LGR episode of 2022. Already! What a whirlwind of a year it's been, I can hardly believe we're hitting 2023...

And what a sendoff to the year we have here: the Metalfish Y2. It's a 3.5-gallon fish tank PC case that fits a Mini-ITX motherboard, a GPU, some fans and a little SSD, and that's about it. As soon as I saw it online it looked like prime LGR material. And it's built to house real living fish, unlike the Lian Li case I've shown before! Whether or not any of this is a good idea, well, I'll let you be the judge. But dang, it sure does look neat when assembled, whether or not it's filled with critters.

Also, I still don't have running water hahaaaa. I really can't believe that of all the possible days in the year I could've chosen to begin a fish tank project, I picked the ONE day where the water is cut off to most of the city... As mentioned in the video and on Twitter, the water system in much of Asheville has gone haywire and it's been bone dry in my house since Monday. Here we are approaching Friday and there's still no sign of its return, at least in my general vicinity. A few neighborhoods on the other side of town are slowly getting it back today but I have no idea when it'll be back for me.

Anyway! Thankfully I was able to travel about 45 minutes south and grab a good load of bottled water, which I've been subsisting on all week. With a few gallons set aside for aquarium PC shenanigans, heh. I really was not sure if this would end up getting done this week or not, there was a moment during filming where enough things went wrong in succession that I seriously almost gave up on the whole video for a while. But hey, here we are, and it was a lotta fun in the end :)

On that note, I hope you've had a nice set of holidays these past couple weeks and have yourself a happy new year! See you soon in '23.
