gleaming bloom Ain't much? Bro, u litteraly have a 70 (?) Inch TV as a SECOND monitor

It's a 50 inch

#

And the sound bar is a hand me down.

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:43 PM

#

It's still a soundbar

#

More than I have for audio 🤣🤣

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 9:43 PM

#

I mainly use Bose headphones too unless I'm watching a movie or something.

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

Damn, U have headphones too

#

Ok, I do too but mine are in ears on USB type C

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

Yeah. Also hand me downs. I actually bought the desk, mousepad, PC, microphone, VR headset... All with my money working as a cashier.

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

And I can't use them on the PC 🤣

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

sinful tinsel Yeah. Also hand me downs. I actually bought the desk, mousepad, PC, microphone, ...

Damn, ur one lucky guy

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

Nah. I just know how to manage my money.

#

And pick up shifts

#

The TV was a Christmas gift. The sound bar was a hand me down. That wooden drawer, also hand me down, I've had it for ages. Water bottle is also a hand me down 😅

#

Mic arm was a Christmas gift

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:47 PM

#

Damn, I'm trying to get a PC for Christmas. Doubt I'd convince my folks though 😅

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 9:48 PM

#

Here's the PC

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:50 PM

#

That's why I'm here

#

I LOVE ITX cases

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 9:50 PM

#

Same!

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:51 PM

#

Hate the fact I can't afford them

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 9:51 PM

#

But my next build is gonna be the exact opposite of this one. This one has zero RGB

#

My next build is gonna be a big boy. ROG Helios case

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:51 PM

#

In my case is mainly because I don't care about top of the range stuff. Since I like usual builds might as well make it small

#

Hell, you might be able to take it with you 🤣🤣

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 9:52 PM

#

That A4-H2O? I totally could put it in a duffel bag

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

Just need a HDMI cable and a nearby TV

#

And ur set

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

Or a portable display. Cause those are a thing.

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

Yeah, but they are expensive af

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 9:54 PM

#

Asus makes one that's like 15 inches and can do 144hz iirc

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 9:55 PM

#

For portable stuff u don't need to go overboard

#

Leave the 144 setup for at home

#

Maybe see if some crazy guy with a 3D printer made a support or some kind for a 15" screen

#

Make that boi a THICK home made laptop 🤣🤣

Literally me with my builds.

I bought my first console by myself as a kid after saving up while every penny and I felt so proud of my self after knowing after all my hard work I got what I wanted and was happy

Not an option rn. I'm in senior year of College. Only work I do is work my ass to learn 🤣
Now I ether get my parents support for one as gift for Christmas+my birthday or I wait untill next year when I get a job (but that comes to the cost of the possibility of GPUs to shoot up in price again)

I built my second PC working at $8 an hour

hard swan Dec 2, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

sinful tinsel I built my second PC working at $8 an hour

A story of dedication and perseverance

#

I bet you was proud Af after too

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 10:00 PM

#

It was $1000 at the time. Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB DDR4-3600, RTX 2060. This was in October 2020 before the shortage.

#

And yes I was.

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

Damn, imagine beeing in a working economy 🤣

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 10:01 PM

#

I'm gonna buy this next build's components in chunks.

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

In chunks?

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

Like first I'll buy the case, PSU and cooler.

#

Then, later on, the motherboard, CPU and RAM.

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

Huh, ok

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

Then, later on and when stock improves.. the GPU

#

Yes. I'm gunning for a 4090 Strix. Actually this next build is all Strix.

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 10:03 PM

#

Sheesh, I wish I had that kind of buget for an entire PC

#

Let alone a GPU 🤣

#

How much was the 4090 again?

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 10:04 PM

#

It's gonna take me a while cause I got car insurance to pay for.

#

While I do make $11 an hour now, about 40% gets taken out by mom and dad for car insurance.

#

Plus I pay for my own gas. And I've got a credit card for my subscriptions

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 10:05 PM

#

That still leaves u like 800$

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 10:05 PM

#

I'm part time.

#

Per paycheck is around $300-400

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 10:06 PM

#

Ur good bro. Out here a full time job starts from 500$

#

If ur lucky you'll get a mouthy salary close to 1000$

#

And again, how much was a 4090?

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 10:08 PM

#

$2000 for a Strix.

gleaming bloom Dec 2, 2022, 10:15 PM

#

Nice

#

The only 4090s for sale here are 3000$

#

Or 2400 for that water-cooled one

#

For some reason it's cheaper 🤷‍♂️

hard swan Dec 2, 2022, 10:19 PM

#

Have you currently got a PC?

sinful tinsel Dec 2, 2022, 10:29 PM

#

hard swan Have you currently got a PC?

Yes. But I'm building a new one
