2021 PC Build List

I haven’t built a machine in probably 15 years because laptops have been enough to function as my primary machine. While this has remained largely true, there are some high-end jobs my laptop just doesn’t have the horsepower to drive some workloads that I would like to work with.

Example workloads include model training, data munging, compiling large solutions (reaching here), and occasional gaming.

So, after a long respite, I got the green light from the boss to create a new machine. Here is what I chose to build/
