I just bought a new machine!
It's a 2020 to replace my 2016 that I got in 2016.
This one should do for a while.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

My main steed is an HP ZBook from 2014, and it is a powerful and fast computer.
Yeah those Jones boys are a litist bunch
My PC is still largely the same, in general spirit, as when I built it (c 2014-2015). But I have had to upgrade some key components over time. First was the move from a 1TB WD Blue HDD to a Samsung 860 Pro 128GB SSD (for my OS's drive), and, related to that, at some point soon after, I moved my games drive from an HDD to an SSD. Next, I upgraded my GPU from an Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 to a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080. This build state lasted a decently long time until I switched from Windows to Linux, so I switched my Nvidia GPU to an AMD Radeon RX 6600 (not exactly an upgrade, but more of a side-grade) to improve the user experience. The most recent change (last year, iirc?) was upgrading my RAM from 8GB DDR3, to 16GB DDR3. My CPU (Intel Core i5-4690k) is starting to really show its age, though, so I've been wanting to upgrade that, but that will likely entail a near rebuild of my entire system, so I've been avoiding it, but, unfortunately, it's increasingly becoming more of an issue.
My only concern would be if anon maintains his PC. Sure, anon bought the PC in 2014 abd never upgraded... But dies anon at least open it up once in a while to clean it out or switch the thermal paste?
