It took me years to set up a PC from scratch. If I remember correctly from 2004!!! Since then I never had to do a PC build again because I had gone to the world of Apple and macs. For PCs I used mainly Dell brands. So recently in my old age I felt the urge to do my own PC build and I was given the opportunity to remember my old craft.
What I noticed is that several things have changed but mainly in the aesthetic part (RGB, cable management) they now play a very important role in the image of the PC. Of course, I was hooked on cable management since it was out of fashion. I’ve always wanted my PCs to be tidy internally.
We used to have to do tricks for the internal cable management of PCs. Today, everything is made with the logic of cable management and this makes it particularly easy to set up. The truth is that I had bought the hardware 6 months ago. Today, however, I was required to work and set it up. I noticed that 20 years ago, when I would receive the hardware, I would set it up on site. Is the youthful enthusiasm lost? Did the liabilities increase? The truth is somewhere in the middle. But what is certain is that I enjoyed it and I am already looking for a name to baptize it. This is how I always did on my PCs starting with Galileo which is now 32 years old!!!. Looking forward to any naming suggestions
I should note that I no longer play games, nor do video editing, etc. You will then tell me why you got a graphics card, etc. It is an attempt to see out of curiosity where gaming has come these days. The way it’s set up is more than enough for the job I want it to do. I wanted to play with RGB too in my old age… It cost me around 1300€ wholesale.
