 Ac> Hah! That's awesome! I've built my gaming machines myself (I've only had

 Ac> my son (which is still plenty to play any newer game), only having to

 Ac> on wood too, that my stuff keeps holding up strong. :)

That's cool, we are finding the old server with the GPU is not holding up like it used to. Seems the processor is just pegged almost 98% when he's playing Fortnite... He has to turn settings off or down just for the processor to keep up. He's definitely not getting what the GPU can deliver.

This would be maybe the only reason I upgrade my server now to pass this down to him. Then again, he's been saving up for a new mother board, ram, and a processor. Everything else has been brought up to speed. New case, PSU....

But he's only 13, so it's not like he's making a pay cheque. He also likes having money set aside and doesn't want to blow it all on this.

So we'll see....

As of late, I picked up a GMKTec K8 Plus that I'm using as my main computer outside my work laptop. It allows for gaming, the little bit that I do.

On that note, I have way to many gaming systems. PS5, PS4, Xbox, Arcade, and now this mini pc. And I barely game. :D 

Maybe I should sell?

.... Live every day as though it were your last. One day, you'll be right
