My Pride and Joy

My desktop computer is currently the fastest in my house, naturally =D; It is the result of quite a few builds before it.

Since I bought a case and motherboard 6 or so years ago my desktop machine has been rotating parts in and out, upgrading as I went.

I haven’t made a completely new machine for myself since that first case, everything in between then and now has been upgrades, admittedly some were rather large, but never all at once.

From what I can remember, here is the rotations of the last few years:
