Oh yeah, it's nice. I love it so much. As far as computers go, I'm set for life. I really don't plan on ever building another system again. This is the perfect machine for me. It runs like a dream. I wouldn't sell this rig for any amount of money. And in case you're wondering how much this baby costs me.....

$6 GRAND!!

That's for everything though, including stuff like the monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse, etc...

And my wife threw a shit fit when she found out how much I spent on everything.
But I made up for it by buying her a new car. She has forgiven me now. Smile

Jesus man! Are you rich!?!?!?!

Not quite. But I make very good money and so does my wife. I'm an IT manager and she's an attorney. Together we make around $140k a year. I also build computers for people as a side job. That earns me about an extra $1,000 per month or so, depending on how many machines I build. I charge $200 per build and usually do about 1 or 2 machines a week. Probably around 4 or 5 builds a month. It depends on how busy I am. I do that stuff when I have free time, it's not a big priority so I really don't have a time schedule. I just work on the machines whenever I feel like it. My customers don't mind waiting. They're pretty patient. Smile

So basically, you're kinda rich!

I guess so. I've been working with computers ever since I was about 12 or 13. It's been about 15 years now. And it really payed off. There's a shitload of money to be made in the computer industry, believe me. I'm probably one of the very few Americans that actually doesn't hate going to work everyday. I get paid to do what I love the most. I love computers, and I love my job! Very Happy

You're probably just saying that because you're only 14 and probably don't have to get up and go to work everyday like I do. LOL

But seriously, my job isn't too bad.I get paid tons of money to sit behind a computer screen all day!
So I'm not complaining. And do you think my $6,000 machine payed for itself? I wish! But my job did.

But if you love computers, a job like mine would be perfect for you. So go for it! Very Happy

My desk is kinda like this, but if you saw my "Setting up my computer desk" video, I moved the computer and now it's on the desk instead of on the ground. I'm too lazy to take a new photo Razz
