Continuum
My personal build used for everything from gaming, web & graphic design, A/V editing and ordinary everyday use.
This is the current point in this systems evolution, if you could call it that as nothing now is around from when I first started. What at one point started as a prebuilt HP tower from Best Buy in around 2011 has turned into what you see today, though not for long as it's always evolving. What started as a necessity of replacing parts that had died over time turned into a hobby of mine. While many will do completely new builds from time to time, I've mostly stayed with the same ethos of replacing and updating the same system. But isn't that the beauty of a desktop system?
2019 has probably seen the most changes that the system has ever gone through in such a short span as many of the components were really starting to show their age and some just straight up dying and necessitating replacement.
