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.)

2004 SpeedDemon Pentium 4, 1GB GeForce 6800 160GB + CD-R, Windows XP
2008 Dark Lightning Core 2 Duo, 4GB Geforce 8600M-GT 400GB + DVD-R, Windows Vista

2022 Radeon RX470 128GB + 16TB + LS-120 + DVD-ROM, Windows 7!

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.
