New Guy Says HI!

immortal-ben · December 3, 2017

Hey all. Been watching Linus for a few weeks now and since he and a few of his Tube friends have motivated me to build my first rig, I thought I would join the forum.

To put things in perspective for you, I just turned 41 and have become disabled. I used to be the outdoors guy, mountain climbing (for my honeymoon even), mountain biking, hunting, backpacking, hiking, ranching and homesteading, and building and wheeling 4x4 trucks. I can no longer do any of those things, and it is unlikely I ever will again.

Therefore, I need a new hobby to wile away my time sitting around. Looks like computers have become the new thing for me. My build will be slow, I think, due to medical and medicine reasons. I just can't do much at one time and I certainly can't do it quickly.

I have three items left to get for my first unit. I need a GPU and two more exhaust fans. I do not plan to do any crazy over clocking so no AIO for now. If there is any interest from yall, I could update my build progress as it goes along. In my past truck/offroad forums, pics and updates were dang near mandatory, so I am used to that.

Looking forward to learning from yall!

Also, is there a section solely for discussion of the advertisers on LTT? Cause I checked out Ting and my bill would have been around $400usd! I'm not knocking them, I just had a case of some serious lols.
