June 2021 - October 2021: The 2010 built PC, based off the Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2H motherboard.

This PC, I considered it as the worst in spec, yet the most useful PC I've ever had. As someone who easily gets distracted with gaming, this PC was perfect as it couldn't run anything that involved more than running a 1080p video. It could still run Visual Studio, which kickstarted my obsession and grind in developing. What kind of specs did this PC have?

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2H

CPU: Intel Celeron E3200 @ 2.40 GHz (Socket 775, 1 CPU, 2 cores, 2 threads)

GPU: Intel G41 Express Chipset. This was, of course, integrated graphics.

November 2021 - February 2022: HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF PC.

This PC, I sourced it out of the closet of old useless PC's at the school I attended. They were about to get destroyed so I decided, why not save one? It was worth it in my opinion. I've modified it slightly to my desire, which includes a dedicated GPU and a new RGB fan to replace the stock one. In the end, it was able to run lightweight games, to include Minecraft at it's lowest settings.

CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00 GHz. For an old computer, this was a pretty generous processor.

GPU: Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset (integrated). ZOTAC GeForce 730 Zone Edition 4GB (dedicated). This GPU costed me $90 on Amazon when I ordered it on January of 2022.

HDD: (HDS721025CLA382) Hitachi 250GB 7200 RPM, (WD800JD-75MSA3) Western Digital Caviar 80GB 7200RPM

December 2022 - July 2022: The 2018 built PC gifted to myself, based off the Asus PRIME Z270-K motherboard. I won't specify the exact hard drives I used as it's just too much to list.

This PC was the first gaming PC I've ever had, and this one was also gifted to me by a teacher who instructed my Systems and Networking class. I fully customised this computer and made it mine due to the lack of good fans, a GPU, and storage.

CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K @ 3.80 GHz (LGA1151, 1 CPU, 4 cores, 4 threads). I overclocked this CPU to a high frequency of 4.79 GHz.

GPU: Intel HD Graphics 630 (integrated), ASUS GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB (dedicated)

Storage devices; includes a 240 GB SSD, and three 250 GB HDDs, all old and scrapped.

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 2400 MHz 2 x 8 GB.
