First PC I’d built with my own hands in twenty years. Career runs on heavy processing, hobbies run on editing and gaming, and at some point the math stopped pretending it didn’t add up. Two months from first part order to first boot, six months from first boot to fully paid off. Every component picked deliberately, every cable run twice because the first run was wrong. It is, by every measure I care about, the best machine I’ve ever used. Worth every late-night rabbit hole.
