I love creating tower case builds for personal, family, friends, and client use.
Due to the difficult to afford component prices which appear to be increasing again due to AI/LLM businesses consuming all of the supply, I guess that my current AMD Ryzen 7 build will be my last build. :cry: Unless things drastically change and prices come down, I'll see how long this build can last as software and the internet evolve.

Have you tried Linux? I am running all my software and browser use on Linux on a budget laptop, but JSP and d2 legacy games are on my tower.

Yeah! Avoid Win11. As things stand, it is a backdrop for Microsoft's Copilot AI which Win11 users cannot thoroughly disable.
