Honestly I was just looking to build a new PC, and this ended up cheaper (can't quote the exact price, but after the upfitting it was less than $2500 taxed and delivered) and easier than dealing with scalpers when a friend found he could (legally) offer me a discount through his company. My home PC has very little to do with my day job at this time, so I acknowledge it's complete overkill for that. However, I'm looking at needing to transition careers in a couple of years and so this will likely be used as a homelab in a box. I also game, dabble in coding (playing with a game idea in Unity right now), etc.
