I'm going to do it! I'm going to revive this ancient poast.
How's everyone been? I know a lot of us, including myself, hardly ever show our faces here anymore. It's quite a shame, as we have such a great community. I'm going to try and stop by more often to say hi and help people.
Computer related, I've been making side money refurbishing computers, primarily budget gaming/CAD/editing machines, through Facebook. Take an old Dell Optiplex or HP SFF with a 3rd or 4th gen i5, throw in an SSD & a GTX1050 in it, and you've got quite a capable machine that only costs about $350. As a bonus, the Windows 7 Serial number will activate on Windows 10 no problem, so you get Windows 10 pro. I enjoy custom builds far better, but it's hard to make money at that these days. But computer repair isn't my day job, just a fun hobby that makes a few side bucks.
My wife and I are in the process of selling our house and buying a new one in the area, which we are very excited about. We also started a family, I now have an 18 month old son. I've attached a picture of us from a few months ago.
What's everyone else been up to?
