Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

When i have lots of money ima build myself a computer building business and bring PC building to the mainstream. Though that's a very bold statement xD.

Yeah I do work, that's why I don't get it Like, I blew 1500$ for my build, still left a safety net, even if I still live with my parents. But I guess when you move up a bit in paychecks you also have more to spend. Still, right now I earn just short of double CAN min wage, so I guess I'm either lucky or competent for my age, so I've got nothin' to whine about
