It's been a while, probably like more than 10+ years since I stopped using Windows and switched to macOS. Recently, after watching a lot of Manor Lords gameplay videos on YouTube, I craved to play the game. I tried several ways like Whisky, CrossOver, GeForce NOW, etc., but none of them provided a high performance or the same satisfaction as on native Windows PCs. Ultimately, I decided to build not just a mini itx computer but also a good-looking one.

I was a little concerned about building a computer from scratch since it's been a long time since I last used Windows and built a computer. I was around 16 years old the last time—Gosh, that felt old—. So I had no idea about the hardware and how to assemble it. I'm a noob in this world... Thankfully I have a smart friend—special thanks to Emre. 😄

After doing some research on the chassis, I just fell in love with the Teenage Engineering Computer-1. It's small, compact, minimal, just beautiful.
