Raster CE (Community Edition)

Compact, affordable SFF gaming PC built from carefully selected community-sourced parts.

Raster CE is the more budget-conscious side of Raster. Unlike our brand-new-parts-only Raster Zero builds, this one is built around quality used/community-sourced components in an effort to bring more affordable small-form-factor gaming to the Jawa community.

What this build is for

A clean, compact gaming PC for someone who wants solid performance without paying brand-new boutique pricing. Good fit for 1080p gaming, lighter 1440p gaming depending on the GPU/config, emulation, and general desktop use.

What makes Raster CE different

• Built with community-sourced parts to keep pricing more reasonable

• Standard desktop parts for easier servicing and upgrades

Build notes

• System has been assembled, checked, and verified
• BIOS is fully updated
• Cooling setup is built around the Jonsbo C6 + IS-55 low-profile layout
• No weird proprietary OEM parts trap here
• TP Link PCIE Wi-Fi card is installed as well.

Important note

This is Raster CE (Community Edition), which means the build may use a mix of quality used / community-sourced parts rather than all brand-new retail parts. That is intentional and is part of how this model stays more affordable. (Mixed of USED and Brand New Parts)
