I built my computer after purchasing the parts on Black Friday 2019, with the expectation of programming on it, but also being able to game on it at times.
When I program I like to make use of virtual machines, which can quickly make use of a lot of RAM.
I prioritized RAM and CPU in my build, followed by my GPU and storage.
Below is a list of parts used in my machine.

My intention is to use this to install operating systems on physical hardware that otherwise have limited hardware support, like GNU/Hurd.
I do this by passing the physical drive to a virtual machine, and then installing the OS in the VM, before removing the drive and putting it back in its original machine.

I am fairly proud of the cable job I have below my desk.
It isn't perfect, but the few cables that aren't tied up with the rest I often unplug to move between machines (ie my webcam).
On the topic of my desk, it is made of a solid core door that my parents had in their garage, and a few 4x4s for the legs.

I purchased a [PinePhone](https://www.pine64.org/pinephone/) which I tried to use for my daily driver for a while, but I was having connectivity issues in my area and had to switch back to my Samsung S10.
I plan on replacing my phone plan to switch to a network that I have better connectivity with, so I can ditch my Android phone.
