At first I was focused on building a PC for the same price as the PS4: $400. But I wanted a good graphics card, and then a better processor, and a little more RAM, the awesome Asus Gryphon motherboard, and then of course I needed a monitor.......... Eventually my rig doubled in price. One money saving strategy stayed throughout the project:: the case. I had decided at the beginning of the project to build the case out of scrap wood to save the whopping $50 price of a pre-built one. My original design also called for an old moose antler to be attached as a lid, and one variant of that design would actually have had the components screwed into the antler itself. Alas, the moose antler proved not to be a practical option, so I had to compensate for the loss of that Item by making the rest of the case more elaborate.
