I swear it feels like Cigg builds a new PC every 3 months or some shyt. Like, dude are you ever satisfied? :skip:

Anyway, I upgraded to 150Mbps Up/Down with Verizon Fios and noticed my speeds weren't any different. Ended up going a few weeks without really knowing why thinking it was on Verizon's end. Turned out I still was running on a Cat 5 cable. Changed it out to a flat style Cat 5E cable and now I'm getting the speeds as advertised.

Nope, I’m never satisfied. There’s always room for improvement :yeshrug:

With this build though, I’m almost at perfection. :hubie:

Best gpus, check.
i9, check
7tb of SSD space, check.
10tbs of hdd space, check
32gb of ram all rbg’d out, check
Water cooled everything, check
Best mobo, check
Audiophile sound card, check
Custom case, check
Best peripherals, check.

:blessed:

All I need now is a new, standing desk and that Asus 4K, 144hz, hdr monitor. I don’t think I can get anything better after that. I might be satisfied then. I think...:patrice:

I'll give you about 4 months and you'll be itching to upgrade to a 2080 TI King of the South edition

HIs upgrading well, it's just how extreme he will go for the best :damn:

Bought i9 instead of the i7 for pcie lanes :damn:

My various PC's are covered through taxes, his just going insane I bet he doesn't even attempt to writeoff some of it :damn:


Please don't cost 600 dollars :mjcry:

Write it off you say? :ohhh:

I don’t know how I can write off i9s and top of the line gpus for my UX job. But, I guess I could write off the data drives, software, mouse and monitor.

Now, I guess I have no reason to not buy that Asus 4K, 144hz, g-sync :blessed:
