Busy and sort of distracted ;)

 I'm a bit busy with some side-projects but some of them are not really side-projects for me, just in terms of retro :)

First thing, I had to built a new PC since my old and beloved one started to fall apart after all these years.

My old Area51 from Alienware which I have bought more than 15 years ago and which underwent a few surgeries like a new mainboard plus CPU has some sort of reached it end of life. The Intel 3770 run overclocked for many years but it seams like the power distribution on the Asus board started to deteriorate since I have experienced random crashes and especially a constant reduction in useable USB ports. This made working on video content more and more challenging until I decided, it is about time for change.
I'm not saying that all these RGB LEDs aren't nice but it wasn't the main focus of this project ;)
Now, I've got a brand new system with plenty of power to edit and render videos, to store a lot of content and yes, for occasionally gaming as well :)
The invest has set me back a bit, so I have to reduce expences for retro projects a bit but it was really necessary and helps a lot to create new content.
What I do with this system as well will be revealed shortly.
