As a Technology Enjoyer, I've used a variety of computers over the years. Here's all the ones that were considered mine. (Hover over some cells for more specific details on the hardware used.)

In 2019 I wanted to start putting something new together. Unfortunately, the crypto market had exploded, and I staunchly refuse to pay inflated prices for a GPU. Until they return to MSRP, I'm still using 5014, despite its age beginning to show and software support for Windows 7 slowly fading.
"Why dontcha just 'upgrade' to Windows 10?"
Because unlike that disaster-fire, 7 works exactly the way I want it to,
and I'm already tired of constant software updates and Microsoft's shit.
