Only you guys would appreciate something like this:

I was giving my oldest spare parts to put together another desktop, thought I'd upgrade my CPU rather than buy him a new one.
Sadly it's already 2-gens (going on 3).

Nice!

My workplace was scrapping two i5 4570 systems, I took them home and bam! Two gaming computers were built next 2 weeks :)

How old is that one?
I just retired what I bought from @phokyu way back (3rd gen i7). Was still working like a champ too.

It was the later part of the year after the 1080 first came out (bought the parts over Black Friday/Christmas to get those holiday savings). It's starting to feel the strain over higher intensity games. Gets kinda hot when I play Cyberpunk. The mobo is taking a little slow to recognize the CPU (adds like 30 seconds to start up process from cold shutdown state).
 
Never thought I'd have a laptop with an i9, but I caved. I'm going to see if I can go without a desktop. Previous attempts did not last long, but an RTX 4070, 64GB DDR5 & all these cores...

did it overheat yet? lol! all the i7 "workstation" laptops at work have overheated and died, lol. Mine was the last one. When I got back from vacation it wouldn't power on. Apparently they overheat like crazy, according to the dell rep.

Still kicking. Everyone knows when I'm gaming though cuz the fans get noticeably louder. :|
I couldn't handle the laptop-only challenge and have a desktop again. :p

This basically happened with me. I had a decent gaming laptop since college, upgraded when I went to law school. Then I just decided to have desktops, and have a shitty macbook air for work and travel.
