i recently built my first pc and moved my daily driver from being a thinkpad to a custom desktop. i was already sitting at a desk, so ergonomically it’s identical. now i can compile blender in 20 seconds and fly around with eevee. i can compile linux with custom lsm modules. dual ssd makes it easy to dual boot. reboot into windows and i can have a magical evening. 7950x, 4090, 990 pro. it would be great if these were cheaper, then more people could afford to use them. it’s also ok that they are overpriced. cest la vie. to anyone spending a majority of their life on a computer and making money, the cost of your primary computer doesn’t matter unless it’s ludicrous. the opportunity cost is far higher. what might you have learned had you tinkered with blender or a kernel when you were bored?
