I build so many PC’s over the course of my professional life, that as my home rig ages, I’m finding myself totally not interested in rebuilding it into a new, improved monster machine.
Sad, but I really think this time around, I might actually…<i>buy a pc</i>.
:bigeyes:
Dunno if I’ll go with a Dell XPS, or say, something more flashy from a place like ibuypower.com, or falcon, or something. I dunno. Any one out there actually spend money on a decent gaming rig in the past year or so? Any advice?
I just…you know, sometimes you just want someone else to do it.
