...Aaaand it's built!
Couple problems though:
- The power supply has massive coil whine when the computer is shut down
- I can't seem to get a windows installation on my USB drive

Do you guys know a good way to get windows 10 for cheap btw?

@irene What's a KMS emulator?

@RedPolygon
Buy a license for 10$ on eBay (and better dont think about it) and create the bootable USB stick with Windows MediaCreation Tool. Worked for me multiple times in the past.

@irene I think I'd rather do a genuine installation.

@thoxx Is that safe?

@RedPolygon
There is always a risk, no doubt. I bought 5 or 6 Win 10 keys for 10$ or less on ebay in the last 3 years and never had problems with invalid licenses or keys (you should check seller reviews and pay with PayPal).

->get an external power switch

Back in the day I picked up Windows 7 Ultimate under a student sale and the key still works for fresh Win 10 installs (ever since their licensing update a year ago or so)

Before that it did still work but you had to install Win 7 and upgrade step by step to 10 😐🔫

That being said, this only helps you if you have any Windows keys since 7 on hand already...

@thoxx those are real key, but it’s still pirate

@L33tCh same here. Our school used to provide one key for each version of Windows. So I got my leftover windows 8 pro key, and it’s still able to activate windows 10 pro 1 month ago.

with that build he MIGHT consider playing games with it..so Linux might not be the best OS for that pc

@Haxk20 I was expecting that comment way earlier lol
