    Been stuck on a laptop for a decade but now that my kids come of age I have sign off to build a machine to start her STEM education...my return to gaming being a side benefit :D

    I started building on partpicker but fast exceeded my budget (as ya do), then reading here I realised theres science to this thats beyond my ken and not getting the perfect balance can be an expensive learning experience.
