Home Office Build in progress. Finishing the basement and working on my office at the same time. I still have over half the room to finish with a retro 32-bit AMD/ATi vs Intel/Nvidia setup. So far, it’s looking nice.

    Why all AMD and ATI? When I got into gaming in 1997 as a child, I could only afford AMD and ATI while I worked as a farm hand for cash at age 13. As I got older and made a little more, I bought what I could afford, which was always AMD and ATi. Outside of Server equipment, I’ve never had a Intel Prosumer build (except a Intel P4 HT x86 & GeForce 6800 Ultra OC AGP build for my 32-bit corner). I did have one Nvidia GPU, for a short stent, a 2nd hand, a binned AORUS 1080ti WB version. I then sold it for to buy a RX 5700XT LD.

    I’ll post once more, when my office is completely done. This is just part of it thus far. Going to the basement to work is now enjoyable.

    I miss ATI and all the ridiculous box art they had on things like the All-In-Wonder cards. Like when DVI was the shit. Love that u still have all this stuff.
