Right now i have a pre-build i got from ebay quite some time ago but its a Frankenstein of parts to say. I want to get a better pc but i cant get a job due to parents saying no and im quite busy theses days. I wish i could do something from home to gain experience but im not sure what? also what are some things to avoid when upgrading, this time i wont go for a pre-build. I do have a little bit of cash but nothing special that will get me anywhere in terms of a pc.

If you have any further questions leave a comment.

    To add to that: my ship-of-Theseus computer is probably older than quite a few adult Lemmy users.

    All current pieces are relatively new, as last year I felt like splurging and had money to do so. Except the hard disk - it’s a few years old, I think.

    I remember when I installed the predecessor of my current GPU. I put the computer on the floor, and my nephew was crawling in the way, curious. Nowadays my nephew has a stubby beard, and he’s taller than me.

    My old case was even older. It had a hole, where I glued cardboard. That hole used to hold a 3½ floppy disk drive. It saw the predecessor of that GPU I mentioned above, that I bought in 2004.
