COMMENT:

Prices just kept getting higher and higher, and I didn’t want to miss yet another chance to upgrade, so I bit the bullet, bought the parts, and built this PC myself to save money. I am never building another computer ever ever again, f*** the USB 3.0 header.

I recreated this PC, and the TCL 32G64 in Stormworks: Build & Rescue in May; it's available here.

COMMENT:

During my final year in high school, I was using a terrible HP Chromebook that couldn’t keep up with my typing speed, so I bought a 2020 M1 MacBook Air. Now that I’m done with school, I mostly use it to remote into my main PC when I’m away from home.

COMMENT: 

Following the untimely death of Big Bertha, my brother and mom let me pick out the parts for my own PC from Memory Express, which led to some mistakes like getting an RTX 3070, but some others that were great, like the i5-13600KF and 64GB of RAM, as over the years I would make use of all of it. 

This PC was given back to my Mom when I built Raptor.

COMMENT:

This is what I consider my first real PC. My mom bought it from my brother as a gift when I was about 11 or 12, along with a new SSD, Stormworks: Build & Rescue, and BeamNG.drive. From day one, this PC was pushed to its limits. Almost everything I know today, like modding or making games, and more, I learned on this machine.

That came to an abrupt end in November 2022 when the Power Supply literally exploded while I was playing a game.

COMMENT: 

This was my first computer. While I hated it then, it taught me the basics of computers and what not to do. It came pre-installed with what felt like every piece of software known to man. It was slow, but it ran Minecraft, the only game I played at the time.
