Subject: Building a PC

So, I finished assembling a PC from components. I hadn't actually done that
before, only swapped stuff out. I took several hours because I made silly
mistakes, but in the end I did get it finished.

I didn't get a new monitor yet, thinking I could just use an old one for now
and get a nice one later, but my old one has VGA in and the video card I used
doesn't have VGA out. Oops.

It's probably heretical for me to say around here, but yes: I'm going to be
installing Windows 10 and a bunch of proprietary software. I enjoy unix style
environments, but I also like my modern shiny stuff, and bluntly free software
just isn't there yet. Plus, I play modern games fairly often, so I'd be using
a bunch of proprietary stuff no matter what OS I used because the free
software gaming scene is understandably thin.
