I can get into IPA and dabble with the super hoppy ones, but constantly on the lookout for a straight up pale ale. They seem to be few and far between at the breweries these days.

Not like the old AT days. 25 different jumper settings and you could actually plug in the main power connectors bakwards

Yah. And with so much good stuff built into the mobo, there's like nothing to plug in. And most of the actual computer stores around here install the CPU and heatsink for warranty purposes. So its 'plug in a bunch of power cables that are all keyed', 'screw in m.2 ssd', 'put in video card', and call it a day... No sound or ethernet cards, having to figure out interrupts, dealing with master/slave jumpers on the drives....

First PC I really did stuff on was a 286 running (I think) at 8 MHz. After that we had a 486 DX33. That had the VESA VGA card in it. Wound up upgrading that thing so far since the tech was expanding so rapidly in the 90s. My first personal PC was a Pentium 2 in 98 when I got to college. Wound up having to ship the motherboard back to the factory a few years later so I could put a P3 in it. Then I fell out of computers until a couple years ago, and now it's all about servers.

Our first computer was a 486 sx25. Eventually, it got the overdrive chip, until we upgraded to a pentium 133.

Now, let's see what I've got here...

Media server running on an hp nl40 microserver, running Ubuntu. Plex, transmission (with VPN support), radar and sonar running in docker containers

Proxmox running on an i7-920, with a 24tb zfs array shared via a samba server container, and a bunch of other vms

Pfsense running on a dual core celeron, and a motherboard I got for free from Amazon, because FedEx lost my original, then found it after the replacement was delivered

Asus rog aio machine

Wife's desktop (amd FX 8600 build)

Quad core laptop with dual gtx 560s in sli mode

Primary desktop - dual xeon e5-2670s, 64gb ddr3 ecc ram, dual gtx 980s, ssd editing array. This one has served me very well, but is getting long in the tooth. I'm hoping oto upgrade it this year as prices come back down to reasonable levels.

Plus a few more motherboards and other various parts laying around.

I have a problem.
