Was cleaning out some drawers of old computer parts and found this old sales order from 2001.

Wow, the Power Supply famine of 2020 is real. Third party markup for those that still have them is ridiculous.

MX to GTS to GTX to RTX……

In my experience the question is what do you want to live with for the lifespan of your builds? How long do you usually go until a refresh? For me it’s somewhere between 3-4 years.

My last build (4670k/970) lasted me a good long while and while it wasn’t on the bleeding edge of performance it was still handling AAA titles without much of an issue. I just handed it off this morning to an old friend who’s in late stage cancer and wants to relive some of his better days of real dirt track racing online with his racing bros. :gbsmith:

I started on this one right as covid was kicking off so I didn’t have many issues with supply and shipping delays.



I don’t think I would be trying to start a new build now though. Carts are bare!
