Oh I know what that is, its that, you know, that, that. Oh yeah! That! 

Lol JK ;-)

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

It has to be pretty obsolete for me to get rid of it.  I tend to hold on to them.  Not for any sentimental reasons but just because they are more useful than what they would sell for.  T

urn em into a file server, PFSence box,  HTPC.  Anything you can think of.

Even after 6 months of building it I'm already going to sell my Steam Machine. I never use it and I kinda felt guilty of wasting my money. Now that I look back, my decisions on parts were ill-chosen. I bought the latest Haswell i5 and paired it with a cheap GTX 650 Ti and 4GBs of RAM. It will be definitely hard to part with, it was the first PC I've built from scratch.

I also have to sell my GTX 560, which I've used since 2011.

Most of my computers have met tragic ends, Actually this one might be the first one I am voluntarily retiring if it makes it all the way to october/november (I might start a new job and that's aprox. how long it would take me to save for a new built, maybe a bit less but if I'm waiting till September at the earliest why not just wait for an 860 maxwell)
