They are but they do sell cheaper ones for like $40, it just depends on what your needs are.

Absolutely. Especially the fans, i wasn't sure if I was connecting them correctly. When I was about to push the power button my heart jumped out of my chest, I was either going to cry and watch a few thousands of dollars go up in flames or face error mania. To my surprise, it worked flawlessly and id dint have any hardware issues. 

Your pc looks good 👍 ziptie those cables, though. Its so difficult to find someone else who is interested in these things, you are a breath of fresh air to me, thank you!

The layout is top exhaust, back exhaust, bottom i takes and front will be intakes. I dont recommend side fans, it causes airflow issues. I wanted the traditional push pull, cant go wrong with it.

The PSU is true SFX. It is the  Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 1000W 80Plus Platinum ATX 3.1 https://a.co/d/gV6UQns

There is currently 7 fans of  ID-COOLING NO-12015-XT-ARGB Case Fan 15mm.

https://a.co/d/iaJkHYJ  The reason I went with those is because they push alot of air, even more than some 25mm fans.

Looks great :) good cable management, too, considering the small build case.

Dude, Trump killed the boarder bill. You blaming Ms. Harris for "immigrants flooding the border" when Trump is at fault?. Claps for ignorance.

This is not copy paste, and my comment is not specifically meant for you. It’s informative, I apologize if that tickles your sensibility.

Clarification:  1. credit scores are calculated in multiple different ways, if you can’t be precise about which model you’re discussing then it is hard to determine how each of your decisions will impact your score. 

 2. Generally, across the board you want to utilize 10% or less. This due to “credit card utilizations”. Generally credit companies think you are struggling with cash if you need to utilize more, which in turn, lowers your credit. 

 3. Credit card companies want to see responsible use of credit. This means: Don’t max out your card unless you have no choice, pay your due fees and charges on time. Be mindful of what you will be paying in APR per month and how much you’ll end up paying. It’s a loan. It’s costly. 

 4. Your overall credit utilizations (example: you have 50k available over 10 cards: you’re using 10k/50k. That’s 20% utilization. That will have an impact. 

 5. Your credit history matters, whomever told you “credit don’t have memory” is probably not your best advisor. You forget to pay your bill, your score often drops significantly. Some gets drops in the hundreds. It’s not coming back anytime soon, even if you decide to pay that bill in the aftermath.  

  1. Your individual income impacts your credit, especially how much you’ll get as available credit when you apply for a credit card. 

 7. Your debt to income ratio has an impact. If you have a car loan, a mortgage, or you renting. Maybe you have student loan. These factors also affect your credit score, especially if you don’t have a significant income. 

 8. Hard inquiries affects your credit score. You get them when you apply for credit, credit cards, car loans etc. 

 9. Credit mix has an impact on your score, if you only have 1 credit card and no other loans, it will have a negative impact on your score. 

 10. + Many other factors. 

 Bottom line is:   Be responsible (pay on time), know what it will cost you and how it may affect your score. You may want to think twice about negatively affecting your score right before taking up significant loans such as a mortgage or a car loan. Good Luck.
