Video Editing 3570K + Guardian Case @ $426

Rig type	Other
Description	This is a video editing computer for a family member. He doesn't know anything about computers, but he does video editing (basic home movies). So I made him a great computer for very cheap, I enjoyed doing it, and it was a way for me to test out different hardware out there. The focus of the rig was this cool looking case (would have been a lot cheaper, and the case internally is terrible), 8GB of RAM instead of just 4, no GPU, and a mild ~4.5ghz overclock for value.
