Happy New Years everybody! I've been pretty quiet, I know, but it's for a good cause! I've actually been -saving- my money for a change, as opposed to buying naughty art, and the result is soon to be my very first gaming machine which'll run for about 700 bucks.

Building it myself no less, which as I hear is pretty easy once you have all the parts at your disposal. Just got the case in the mail today and I'm pretty happy with it, look forward to stuffing it full of essentials. I'll probably upload an image here of it or something when it's done, mid-tier as the computer may be. Had I known how much money I'd have now I would have waited to buy parts so I can work with a higher budget (I already have the case, power supply, and graphics card), but I like the idea of having extra money for myself so it's no big deal. I'll probably throw in a new keyboard and mouse or something.
