Earlier this month, I built a new LAN rig inside the Fractal Design Ridge. This ITX case is insanely good looking, but I think I can make it look even better... so I added a Craft Computing logo.

Oh, and a slapped an 8.8-inch LCD on the front of it as well.

But first... What am I drinking???

Hop Valley (Bend, OR) Bubble Stash IPA

Parts from today's build

The 8.8-inch LCD is available on Amazon or AliExpress
