Custom Built Desktop - snoopmx
This is a Custom-built-desktop that I put together for stake solo validator. I decided on high-quality components at a good price so that they will not be obsolete quickly.
There are 6 main things to keep in mind:
Motherboard External site link โ
Microprocessor External site link โ
RAM memory External site link โ
Hard Drive External site link โ
Power supply External site link โ
Cabinet External site link โ
I decided on a mini ITX motherboard Z690l which is a small form factor, the card is modern to house Intel 12th generation microprocessors that will last me for many years of hard work.
An Intel Corei5-12400 microprocessor with integrated graphics, the ratio with or without integrated graphics is very little difference in cost, plus you save on buying a graphics card.

A 16GB DDR5 RAM with RGB looks great for your build, in addition to the 6000 MHz it reaches.

A hard drive SSD 2TB PCI Express 3.0 NV1 M.2 NVMe.

The power supply EVGA Supernova 750 GM is very important for the assembly, I decided on an EVGA for the mini ITX that does not make noise, that is modular, you save on cables that you do not need and the fan is only activated when it is needed. With the SFX shape that is smaller.

Finally, Cabinet Cooler Master NR200P SFF - Mini-ITX, removable and with great access to modify the hardware components, including fans.
It is certainly a wise decision to build your own node. They are quality components without a doubt, you can save more by buying other motherboards or another type of RAM.
