So because of various issues I have not been able to get myself a new computer for a long time. A LONG time. As in, I was using the last one since 2012. It still worked! It was kind of dragging and I couldn't update software anymore and getting constant "you need to upgrade" alerts, but it worked. Okay, it was pretty much begging to be shot, while doing the minimum amount required to keep it around.
I had been intending to upgrade since at least the pandemic and I kept just not doing it. It was just too much work, basically.
But I finally pulled the trigger! New Alienware setup with a nice new monitor. Unfortunately all my peripherals no longer work including my great speaker setup, so I have to replace those, but it is pretty nice to have a major task off my list.
