From the UK, seeing these tech stores is so weird to me. A huge warehouse full of PC parts and tech? Sounds incredible
Weird to everyone tbh. they're not exactly corner stores...only in large cities. so 75% of us in the US still are 3+ hours away from them
I live near a Microcenter. It's Heaven-like.
I miss the days of being to go to a big PC World store and being able to buy stuff off the shelf whilst also being competitively priced. Curry's PC World, you suck.
remember when PC World did PCs and parts?
@@Mr_Bedlam215 I live 2 hours away from 1 shitty one that never has anything, and 3 hours from 2 that are down the street from each other...but it's in the heart of ducking Chicago...so duck that
Time to get jealous for 11 minutes! 😂 Massive congrats to the winner! 😎
That's exactly how I felt after the 1st minute to this video Hahaha "Spreadlist" LOL!!!!!
Time to get jealous for 11 minutes part II! 😂
7:11 🤣
@@dinocorreia1202 actually 11:51 🤣😂 and jeah, me jealous also 😋
In this case nothing to be jealous about. Look at those parts
Big respect for honoring international entries Jay!
Yeah expecially because he has to send all that stuff separately now
I wish we had a store like this in Australia. Always end up having to order from 4 different places to get what you want
that's what you get for not killing all those spiders
@@RealistOmega haha. They eat the flys. Trust me, flys are worse
Yeah and the place with the cheapest prices doesn't necessarily have the cheapest shipping. It's sometimes to cheaper overall to order multiple packages from different suppliers.
I think the better stores in Australia are scorptec, ple, and pccasegear
@@Knowbody42 In Western Australia PLE is the closest experience to this in the state.
The fact you bench test the parts before sending them off, is worth more than the price. That level of winner service is unheard off!!
Probably also to cover his butt so if the guy reports something was broken he knows it happened after it left his hands... it is cool of him to do that though.
It was a really smart idea. Otherwise they'd have to return the components to Jay for waranty. (Because waranties are not international)
Plus you know he was anticipating the ad revenue from the build video, so bench testing it will provide the content to keep the channel going :)
@@brianbeach3024 There should have been a build video, it would have been the decent thing to do, even if he had allowed Jay to build one of the PCs.
I'd prefer not to have my brand new parts touched and made a video on before having them sent. Just my opinion though.
As an Aussie, im so warmed by the effort you went to to give this gift to someone outside the US, Ive watched your channel for over 3years now and you still to this day do amazing things. Their are only a handful of people I recommend and you sir are one of them. Keep up the groovy work. Cheers
? not a really a hassle bro, he makes the money back from ads and the sponsor is bonus so he is still in profit even after shipping.
lol Ive been here for 10 years
@@amfk8079 l33t sauce
I have to say when I saw that it was an Aussie who won I was actually really happy. Everything when it comes to Electronics is so much more expensive and hard to get ahold of there. Really deserving of getting it.
is there any compatibility issues with power for these pc parts and psus and monitors in australia?
@@briancollins7296 It's all the same stuff really, just the power cord is different. Most electronics that have an external power brick (laptop etc) are 110V/240V capable. Most power supplies nowadays are autoswitching capabilities, so it detects what voltage input it is receiving. Other than that, motherboards etc are all exactly the same no matter where you are.
Tax alert import tax applies here i guess.
Not sure why you think this, at least in the major cities we have a lot of competition and very good pricing with all the latest products available at basically the same time as everyone else. Compared to the UK for example the computer parts market in Australia is far superior.
Now just wait until it gets into the country and they send him a bill for 10% of the cost of everthing so that they dont miss out on their taxes.
Microcenter should open all over the world. Still no good IT retailer with that kind of quality AND sim racing equipment over here in Europe 🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️
I keep googling for places cause I want to check stuff and prices in person. But to no avail.
Totally agree 😊🇩🇰
A shop that sells at MSRP would be nice for sure. Not like selling 300 -400 euros over the MSRP price
That would be awesome. Here, where I live, the few big retailers that have all this stuff basically put up scalper prices. The rx 6950xt msi gaming trio that's shown at $1014 in the video costs $1600 here at this time. It's as if we're still stuck in the past, when gpu prices were high as hell...
If it makes you feel any better, I live in the US and it's still an 7+ hour drive (each way) to my nearest Microcenter. We used to have a Fry's about 3 hours away but since they shut down, I have pretty much no choice but to order online.
I love how Jay has the "Dad" vibe screaming, shopping in his JTC t-shirt and flip flops. I would totally go part shopping with this man.
That reminds me too much of my uncle for some reason. And that man I would not trust lol
Jay seems like a cool guy though
@@natsudragneelthefiredragon What's wrong about wearing a t-shirt and flip flops?
@@BrawndoQC Nothing, it just kinda reminds me of my uncle for some reason
I'm a simple guy, I see Jayz2Cents pop up on screen, I click
I upgraded my PC this year, and I got the parts from the local Microcenter. Still rocking a 1070, hoping the early 40 series adopters push used 30 series even cheaper!
I'd say Murray is an awesome and realistic guy. He bought good things. No need for halo top-of-the-line stuff, but stuff that are more than good enough for like 95% of consumer use case of there.
I wish the delivery to go well, parts arrive safely, and a happy building for Murray!
Jay trying to do an Australian accent might have just made my day
😂 ya
That and the fake 4080 comment had me laughing.
The drop bears are not pleased...
Me too mate
the only thing wrong with it is that Phil forgot to turn the camera upsidedown
“Not LTT Screwdriver” that wins for me. 😂
I'd get lost and spend way to much time in a MicroCenter, Australian myself and seeing a store like this is unheard of.. When I travel to the US, A Micro Center store is definitely on my visit list :) Jay your the best, Appreciate you going this far for a fellow Aussie x
just make sure you pay attention to where you're going friend, I believe this Microcenter in the video is my local Microcenter in Tustin, California. BUT it's the only Microcenter in all of California!
Hope you get to find one wherever you find yourself during your visit. Wishing you safe and good travels, cheers!
@@roquemacias4616 Appreciate that, thank you 😀
Same here mate.
I can’t even begin to wrap my head around having a shop like this in capital city never mind local town.
Thank you for honoring an international winner Jay !
I went into a MicroCenter for the first time this past Friday. It's about an hour and a half drive from me to the closest one down in Duluth, GA (basically a suburb of Atlanta), but it was well worth it. They really are as remarkable as I've heard. Excellent customer service, great inventory, and just really knowledgable staff. It's like a PC wonderland in there, lol. I just wish it wasn't such a far drive or I'd be going back more often. Then again, my wallet is probably glad of that fact.
Congrats to the winner! Jay is a good man and a good dad, keep up the good work sir! Wish Maine had a Micro Center :(
We technically have I think 4 in NY state, but they're all concentrated around the NYC area, I would kill for one in Western NY. I guess it ultimately doesn't matter as prices are bonko right now so I likely wouldn't be upgrading anyway, but still would be fun to browse.
After i saw all the stuff in the store i wish there were one MC in germany... No matter where, but one.
@@yellowblanka6058 prices aren't bad right now...
@@tygattyche2545 Agreed. Just one or two in each European country and they would make a fortune.
@@yellowblanka6058 IK.... i wish we had one in upstate NY!
This is just amazing. Instead of 1 computer, this person gets an (almost) entire room, only by not wanting the lastest and greatest. Now that's money well spend!
@@officialdeutschland5499 rgb tax
@@officialdeutschland5499 divide 700$ by two systems it could be for different setups. he might not have know about govee stuff. he could have saved some money there but. Everyone Knows RGB makes PC runs faster /s.
@@tanmaypanadi1414 Doesnt matter. These 350$ would get him a way better gpu.. Running a 3060 with an 4 k monitor? Dear god..
@@zombi111980 i mean i could only personally imagine he would use those for a full dedicated room and not only his desk or setup.. and if so, i think its understandable
Awesome - very happy for this guy.!.!.! Thank you to Dave and the crew for doing this. Many of very much appreciate your generosity and taking us along for the ride on the video.
Kudos to the winner! What an absolutely outstanding way to spend the money! A little of this, a little of that with a IFixit. Truly someone that deserves every penny spent, with items that will be utilized to benefit the owner"s wants and to include others within the circle. I admire the thought process set forth. Jay, thank you for indulging and sharing.
Honestly, I think it's awesome he chose so many varying and different things with the money as well. the Hue stuff is definitely pricey, but with as much as he got he's going to really be able to sync them up well and have some really cool options in that regard. Solid PC parts. Again, not necessarily stuff I would have chose for myself either, but hey this guy just got a lot of cool tech for his home.
he made a lot of excellent choices for having $5000 to spend XD i genuinely don't know what i would do with that much spending money, especially with parts from microcenter
Seemed like a lot of waste to me.
@@Razahoo7 Because you are not him
I love Jayz simple and random humor around the shop 😂😂 he really looks fun to be around. Great video! Congratulations to the winner
Micro Center is basically his third home, apart from his real home and warehouse office.
Upgrading the existing system that you have while building another 4 years future proof rig is exactly what I had in mind. Never waste a good recyclable stuff, I'd say.
Jay is the ultimate man with pc parts, he's the complete dude that will listen to your needs first then the discussions be going. And congrats to the winner, have a good one lucky mate.
Interesting spending. He knows best and he got what he wished. Sad for us that he didnt ask a 5000 water cooled pc , but good for him that he had things that probably was in his mind ,but not affordable. Well done to Jay also for giving that opportunity to all of us, even the shipping will be financially crazy.
If i had won I totally was going to ask for a custom passively cooled gaming desk with the mobo inside. Linus did a vid recently featuring a New non-conductive liquid for submerged builds. No idea if it was even possible but it was my day dream for a week. Congrats to the winner and hope they enjoy
@@jayaskme2942 imagine trying to maintain that PC. Even the mineral. Oil PC would have been a mess to clean and upgrade as it corrodes stuff in the tank and leaks over time.
@@jayaskme2942 That would of been a regrettable decision lmao
Congratulations to the winner. I was just thinking about this contest the other day. It is so refreshing to see someone spread the wealth around, both the winner and Jay. If I had of won, I wanted to build a system for each of my kids and a few parts for my rig...
huge congrats to the winner! I'm also happy to see that he built two systems out of it. spreads it out more and really makes it more worth it imo if he didn't need a crazy high end machine. Wish we could have seen a build but I completely understand wanting to build it himself.
I love that this dude spread the money to have 2 PCs so he can give one to a family member he wants to game with. That's the whole spirit of gaming. I like this dude
Congratulations to the winner. Love that he's building one for himself and a friend to game with.
Congrats to the winner! Thanks for always doing great giveaways Jay! Love the content you guys put out, and looking forward to the madness about to ensure with all the new hardware coming.
Nice to see the winner actually thinking about what he will get the most value from and going for some really nice accessories to complete his setup. Also, it would be fantastic if Microcenter would come to the UK. PC World/Curry's just doesn't cut it.
Is this comment a joke?
@@PabzRoz I can certainly agree with the second part of the comment. We just don't have a physical way to browse electrical hardware. Most is just pre-built.
Massive congrats to the winner, thanks Jay for doing this.
Congratulations to the winner, I hope he enjoys it. Looks like a great haul!
And thank you for making something like this possible, Jay!
I always buy my stuff online out of convenience, but damn... I'd love to be able to go to one of those stores and just pack my cart with all sort of cool stuff.
As an Aussie, man mad respect to you for the effort and commitment to send him all that. You are a great Lad Jay, dont ever change.
This is really awesome! Your generosity is above and beyond anything I could imagine! Really hope the winner enjoys all the cool tech and the new PCs
From my few visits to MicroCenter, I would've definitely included networking hardware in that list. They have managed 24 port switches, boxes of CAT6, RJ45s, rack mount hardware, and other random crap you can only get online otherwise. Truly an awesome place.
Everyone should have a PoE switch nowadays, can help a ton if you run a desk phone for remote work or want to run some WAPs/cameras without needing a power cable.
Meh unless they have Muh MikroTik's in there nahhhhh
Congratulations to the winner. Awesome of you to do this jay
Refreshing to see he wasn't a average pc enthusiast and did not spend entire budget on one pc. I definitely would have. :D
I used to go to Micro Center a lot in Tustin... But recently moved to Portland, OR. I miss Micro Center so much... I love that store. I always wanted to catch Jay at Micro Center but I can see he rented the entire store to make his videos haha
The Core V21 is the same case I have, it's not a case you see used often in tech channels and I think it's criminally overlooked. It's very cost effective, modular, comes with a quiet 200mm fan, it has plenty of clearance for tower coolers and 240 AIOs and it's very easy to build in. It's not flashy but it's incredibly practical.
Dang, you pretty much just sold me on it.
I'm looking to build/assemble something for my parents, and this seems to fit the bill.
I have my media center pc in one and it is basically an open air case. The 200mm fan is quiet and is the only fan aside from the cooler master silencio fans on the hyper 212 and gpu fans that are in the case.
Just posted before reading yours - I love mine. It's actually my second one. Like a moron I sold that one to swap to a Corsair Air 240 which I hated, so I bought another one for my Comet Lake system.
I mean, we shouldn't go that far as thinking it's criminally overlooked on a almost decade old case when Thermaltake have redesigned this Core v21 with their Level 20 VT.
@@spankbuda7466 The Level 20 VT is a glass box with terrible airflow, it hasn't supplanted the Core V21. I recommend you watch GN's review.
Congrats to the winner, the joy brought in that bit of time where it could have been anyone was amazing so thanks for even the chance.
Congrats to the winner! Enjoy the stuff to the fullest! :D
Cogratz to the winner! I was sure I'd get that one, but hey, more giveaways might come in the future.
Regards from Tabasco, México [Land of The Olmecs]!
He did buy a couple of good set ups really noble to share it with someone so they can play together respect for that he didnt get best of the best parts but he got what its gonna make him have a good time and made his room a showoff amazing result 👏
Congrats to the winner! I was fully prepared to see crazy powerful Gpu so a single 3060 threw me for a MASSIVE loop 🤯
A 3080 would of been way better and not much more expensive concidering the new GPU prices
Jay I really want to say that you doing this give away was awesome. It is really cool that you did something like this. lol even though I didn't win I really enjoyed watching and seeing everything he got. Your really a good dude and it's very humbling to see a act of kindness in a world that it's not so easy to come by. I'm really looking forward to the next video
Phill you are amazing, putting the backup beeper when Jay backed up.... amazing
Congrats to the winner and this person absolutely choose pieces that is what HE wants. I like that not just going for the most expensive mad gamer build. Hope he will send some footage of it when it is all finished .
Congrats to the winner! So good to see inventory filling back up so this kind of thing is possible, that MC looks huge compared to the one closest to me
Closest to me is 4 hours away, i usually save up a big chunk of cash and make a day of it and go nuts. Really cool that they sell 3D printing hardware, been wanting to get into it
The Tustin store is Micro Center flagship store. Also, you have to consider that this store is by the ports and get first dibs of the product coming in before dispersing their products out to their other stores in the country.
kinda sad i missed out on circuit city back in the day, closest ive got is the computer section in best buy
Considering what I know about just trying to get ANYTHING imported to Australia this actually warms my long cold heart knowing that this went out to someone out there. Good stuff Jay.
Great video, Jay! May the lucky winner enjoy it for years to come and upgrade o even better setup :)
Lots of weird choices but as you said it yourself a few times, it was his decision. Cheers!
Congratulations to the winner, that’s on hell of a shopping haul at Micro Center!🎉👍👍
Good on ya for testing everything before shipping it out. He certainly got a lot of goodies he probably didn't need but wanted besides the computer stuff 👍
I would probably do similar if I had that kind of free money to suddenly play with.
My family that needs them always ends up with my leftover parts when I upgrade so they have usable pc's free or cheap.
I have the Thermaltake V21 and he made an excellent choice. Its got a big 200mm fan on the front and a ton of ventilation.
Congrats to the winner! Some very interesting items picked. I enjoyed watching it. Thanks Jay!
Was shocked to see the winner buy those stuff. I was expecting a gaming rig or something. But to each is his own. Congrats again to the winner and thanks Jay for doing this to the community
He did get a gaming rig setup. You don't need 80 series cards unless your rich and stupid lol Most people game on 75mhz or 120mhz monitors and literally waste all that money pushing frames they'll never see, kinda funny actually.
@@animalyze7120 but overall having a high refresh rate monitor benefits everything you see on that monitor. High refresh rate helps mitigate low frame rates.
They will be able to play every game with decent settings until the PS6 and next Xbox comes out!
@@animalyze7120 You feel frames more than see them. You can definitely see the graphics turned up with a good card like a 3080. Both of those together is one hell of an experience.
@@animalyze7120 what games do you play? If you’re playing fps games I swear 75hz and a 240hz monitor feels different. Imagine playing fps with 150 fps vs 400 fps and then tell me its a waste of money
Jay seemed surprised at the 32gigs of ram. Even for gaming, if you start modding some games, quite a few of them have a surprising tendency to go very high in ram usage. Kerbal Space Program modded can easily eat 29 Gigs of my ram with the crazy mods out there. It's only one of the lot.
yeah i think 32gb is nearly entry level for modern gaming. especially with how cheap it is. anyone that watches youtube, has discord open, and plays games, all at the same time, will really notice going from 16 to 32.
@@Drianikaben 32gb entry level lmao
@@Drianikaben Entry level is a stretch lmao. If somethings eating 32 gigs of ram it's poorly optimized and very heavy. Most people will be just fine with 16, and if not, then 32 will do for the heavy modders out there with garbage optimization
He definately isn't going to fly DCS. 32GB is bare minimum there regardless of what ED says.
@@CakePrincessCelestia DCS is the exception not the rule. You're almost never going to find RAM being your bottleneck at 16gb even with something like discord and tabs of youtube open in the background. DCS has absolutely atrocious optimization, which is why the RAM issues always appear later once the memory leak kicks in and progress until the game crashes (or continues to stutter).
As of right now, 32GB is not for most gamers. But if you're sure you can justify it with the extra heavy applications you have open or heavy modding you do, or just so happen to play a rare and old horribly optimized game then 32GB might meet your standards.
This was wholesome. Hope everything goes well, congrats man-from-down-under!!
Literally just drove the hour plus to Micro Center pick up a new Ryzen 5900x since its almost half price from the launch price at MC. Store is so fun to poke around in, easily could have spent another few hundred I didn't have if I didn't make it a point to be in and out. Nice to see Jay doing the giveaways and making a cool video about it, and to Micro Center for letting him in early to film for good causes. Good work Jay and team!
What a cool shop, wish we had something like this in the UK
Honestly i love these vids where Jay either shops around or goofs off during the videos xD
Do some more build, Do more custom case mods, Keep up the fire content and USE FIXIT!
congratulations and also always keep updating.
Ah mate, it's so good to see a guy down here win! What a champion bloke you are for doing things like this for your viewers. Unbeleivable how much he got because of USD. Downunder all we would get is a GPU, a PSU and a couple of sticks of RAM for 5 grand (ok, maybe a mouse too). But that was a very bad Aussie accent 😂. You guys are the best
Those sneaky NVidia burns made my day lol. Congrats to Murray B for this amazing prize.
What an interesting way to spend 5k at microcenter. Didn't expect he would get those PC parts and a full basket of hue lights. I would've asked if jay can wait till the 7950x and 4090 came out and do a build video, that would be awesome to see.
So lucky that guy.. hope he enjoy it.. and congrats too 🎉🎉🎉
i remember a few weeks back when the aus pc page tried to tag him to see if it was him was great to hear someone in aus gets something like thisss
Jay I appreciate you iterating that you can always save money and purchase current gen. I always build my "Upgrade" systems by buying current/ last gen gear. It always lasts me 5-6 years and saves me a lot of money. Maybe the top 1% of people need the 3090/4090 5950x combo. Anything lower will do whatever an average gamer/streamer/musician needs just fine.
Yep best way to get the good GPU is to wait till the new nonsense comes out and get the previous for a cut rate.
Yeah. We're in the era of, "Good enough.". It's been awhile since I've had to worry about days long compiles or renders. Now days the latest and greatest isn't actually that important.
I've honestly not seen the point of all the bells and whistles in gaming for awhile. I'm usually moving fast enough the eye candy falls to the wayside. Ray tracing has implications that could impact gameplay directly, but noone is designing games for it and better shadows just don't matter when everything is moving and things are trying to kill you. My brain isn't actively noticing them. By the time ray tracing does become important current or last gen will work just fine. Everything is good enough.
I'm truly happy to see someone want a nice reasonable build. Honestly I would of gotten 2 systems as well that way when I'm doing maintenance I can still have a system lol
He literally could of gotten 2 of the highest end builds money can buy for a 5K budget lol...
I'm from Italy and seeing Micro Center years after it was first opened, still looks and sounds like a dream to me.
I wish germany had a retailer that comes close. Shops that are similar are online only. I'm certain the Microcenter concept would flourish in europe aswell.
Looks like he built a couple of really well-rounded rigs! Maybe 1440p instead of 4k. I think this is more interesting than going all-out on something ridiculous. A full setup upgrade is dope and big ups for sharing the prize money
Well rounded😂😂😂😂
Definitely noble builds. Everyone in the house enjoying gaming. Love amd builds I do not understand Intel cpus or motherboards. I personally would love to see the s.a.m. with amd cpu and gpu. Congratulations on your builds
Very cool, congrats to the winner. He chose some stuff I would've never even thought of.
I really enjoyed this style of video Jay. Man, I really wish we had a Micro Center down here in Florida. This reminded me of the old Comp USA stores but on a SAMS club level. I could wander around that store for a whole week
Love the versatility of the choices of two rigs plus 3d print. Thanks Jay for making opportunities for everyone to learn to make the best gear for themselves, not "the best" products.
Congrats again to the winner
This is one of my favorite new videos you have created, great job Jay!
Very cool! Looks like he made a smart choice! You rock Jay! I sure wish there was a microcenter in the bay area...sad 😕!
Imagine winning a contest to have Jay build a custom PC for you... And then telling him, nah, no need.
I was disappointed to learn I was not the winner, but congrats to Murey for the win! You should take pics of your final set up and send it to Jays twitter so we can all see! Massive thank you to Jay and Micro Center for sharing the love and doing awesome events like this!
It will never happen. Why do you think that this "winner" is located in Australia of all places?
@@spankbuda7466 🤣
Murray has two r’s.
@@Digikidthevoiceofreason thanks for the education! I had a feeling the spelling was off.
@@spankbuda7466 The winner is located in Australia, because they are located in Australia. Don't judge everyone by your own low standards. If Jay was making this up, would he really have made such a bizarre list of parts and chosen to not include a build video as well?
As someone that has a Micro Center 2 miles away from me, that opened up almost 20 years ago, I'd be lost without them. Congratulations to the winner, wish it was me, but congratulations!
Love the Noctua NHU-12S, was super simple to intstall and plenty of cooling for my rig
Good guy Jay. Grats to the winner and have fun!
Can’t wait to see what they picked.
Then watch the video and you’ll find out.
PLZ also check 240v compatibility on the powered items, it'd suck to ship it all the way and find its 110v only.
But yeah some of the stuff you guys have we don't get in AUS/NZ and other stuff can be super expensive, so can see why he went with lots of stuff rather than a beast pc.
Very smart. Good on you mate.
Enjoy.
32gb is pretty normal for a build like this imo
it's a 3060 non ti.
he could get 8gb of ram with dual rank 4gb sticks.
his system sucks.
Super interesting choices. One thing I'll say, some games are shockingly RAM-hungry these days, and even for a pure gaming rig, I would opt for 32GB if it was in-budget. At 16GB I had just a couple of games which would peg my RAM utilization around 95+%. Wasn't experiencing instability, and I didn't A-B test to see if increasing to 32GB actually boosted performance, but for me personally at least, that cemented 32GB as the new baseline to make sure I won't have to upgrade RAM to make a game playable in the near future.
I appreciate the RGB setup. Philips probably wouldn't be my go-to, but there's value in having a personalized space that looks and feels like your own. Pairing a 3060 with a 4K display, and gaming on a 60hz display, I might start to have some misgivings, but I sincerely hope Murray enjoys the outcomes. :)
Your RAM *wants* to peg at about 95%. If you're not there, your system will start looking for things to put in RAM which it thinks you might use in the reasonably near future.
@@TiaKatt Which is ideal, no? I'd rather Windows run out of things that it thinks should live in my RAM than for it to run out of RAM to put things in. I'm all for keeping things snappy and I do a lot of multitasking.
Congratulations to the winner.
I wish we had that kind of store in Georgia.
Crazy you are shipping that far, most people wouldnt do that! Awesome jay, im sure he is very happy
The iFixIt explosions nearly had me falling out of my seat laughing. After all this time, that's the one "interruption" that I never skip; in fact, I occasionally replay it. :)
That’s almost what I would of done, built 2 systems and fluffed up a third with a mix of spare and new parts. Big congrats to the winner, hope he has fun building!
Congrats to the winner :) Good luck on budgeting out 2 systems and recycling older parts :)
For me I would of went all out on storage NAS lol
Shopping at microcenter is the best feeling ever, not many brick and mortar stores like this left in the country.
Awesome, this was the most normal PC shopping list ever, I really enjoyed it. Congratz to the winner!
In Australia there aren't many noteworthy brick & mortar stores for PC parts and tech. My shop of choice does have physical stores only used as pickup locations. We have big electronics stores that sell everything under the sun except PC components. During the worst parts of the shortage it was actually cheaper to buy and ship some parts from USA to Aus. We also don't have nearly as much variety over here with new tech arriving months later or not at all, but can't import due to mismatching support. Congrats to the winner, if Microcenter ever comes to Aus it'd probably be one big shop in Sydney or Brisbane.
Thanks for stopping by that PiKVM book or whatever that was. I was looking for a KVM to buy, now I think i'm gonna make one!
This is just awesome. Love seeing that it was a multi forked use of the money.
