Hi all. Apologies if this is not allowed here. I know people out there are struggling, but I just want to share my good news with someone.
It’s a big milestone of accomplishment in my life, but I feel weird just telling family members or my online friends about it. The only other people who know are my coworkers because we all got the same raise. Money doesn’t go as far nowadays due to crazy inflation post COVID and my area has higher cost of living than where I grew up, but I’m still very happy about this. I remember back when I used to only make minimum wage. All those years of schooling eventually made their way back to me. I’ll never make as much money as someone like a doctor, but it’s definitely enough for me to live comfortably as a single person.
Anyway, I’ll delete this in a bit (or sooner if it gets removed by a mod), but I hope you guys out there have a good weekend.
Edit: Thank you guys very much :)
Edit 2: Jeez there are so many more comments than I expected. You guys are so nice!!
Yeah I don’t have any interest in building one myself tbh. I know it’s cheaper that route, but I’d rather go pre built and skip any headaches. Part of it tho is that I have no idea where to begin or what the cost will end up. The only thing I’d care about feature wise is that it’s VR capable lol. How did you go about yours?
I tried to find the names of major places that did custom rigs and then tried to find as many reviews as I could about them.
In the end I chose Origin PC. I would recommend them to anyone who has the budget. They do have some prebuilt options that you can choose from or you can customize, which is what I did. I got exactly what I ordered and have had no problems so far. I attached some pictures to show the amazing wooden crate they shipped it in (and it was well padded inside) and what my build ended up looking like (those were the default lights, I have a much more subdued lighting scheme now).
Damn that looks snazzy af. Hope you’re enjoying it!
