The Minimalist

No Lights, No Noise

The Minimalist is a reference build for buyers who don't want their PC to put on a show: air cooling, non-RGB memory and a walnut-and-mesh chassis that stays quiet under load.

The minimalist build's hardest part is the cooler choice. The X3D doesn't need an AIO; the NH-D15 chromax dissipates 200 W silently and is rated for the next decade of CPUs. The Fractal North makes a PC look like a piece of furniture: walnut accent, mesh side panels for thermal performance, no glass to reflect a desk lamp at 2 a.m.
