👋 Hey! This is my "Gear". Although I've been using it for a while, I've never really written about it. So, here it is!
I spend a lot of time in front of my computer, so I like to have a clean setup.
IMHO 🧠:
clean_desk == clean_mind // trueThere is definitely some consumerism in this post. I was trying to keep the costs pretty low, but some things are just worth it.

This was my first PC build. I built it together with my wife. I was a bit scared to do it, but it was fun. I never had a PC before, so it felt nice turning it on for the first time.
I use it for some light gaming and my personal projects.
It costs slightly below £1000 altogether so it's not too bad. I could have made it cheaper, but white parts are more expensive than black ones 🤡. Considering that gaming laptops can cost £1000-£2000, this is a good deal as I can swap parts to upgrade it in the future.
Future Upgrades
- Get a standing desk
- Get a 4K monitor / ultrawide
