A tale of how to fling one's self right OTT and stress even the best personal relationship!!!
Do not do this!!
My partner refers to my 'Special Projects' like this as 'Wretched Excess', but a boy needs a hobby! (And I like living on the edge!)
I tend toward the old 'how fast do you want to go? - how much do you want to spend?' maxim.
And I always build my own systems.
I started building this one just as the 'Virus' started to make it hard to get all the little extras that make a system personal and pre the RTX 3000 series madness.
After several frustrating months it is on line and I am 99.99% happy with it, despite spending a lot of time and money getting here.

Of course, there is always room for improvement and the present source of irritation revolves around a really good monitor..............................
The major problem facing DIY builders like myself is the present supply shortage on almost any high end components, but it helps if one can plan ahead.
Given that we were in a very strict COVID Lockdown for the best part of 20 weeks the need for compromise became important, usually 'upwards' of course.
Lurking in a shadowy corner of my bunker are the basics of my next project, pre ordering components is a good option if one can arrange it, having a long term relationship with one's supplier is even better.
