Bought this to put together and to learn how to code.

So I did the mobo upgrade, CPU upgrade and the graphics card upgrade. The last items arrived today:

^It's funny how one of my rigs is full of RGB (Corsair case came with the RGB fans) then the GPU, CPU cooler, etc and 99% of the time I have everything turned off

Hey, at least the prices of RAM have come down a bit.

Delivered late this afternoon and rain tomorrow so won't fire it up until Monday. Total rookie with these but looking forward to learning!

More house projects, plan to post up some pictures soon. Wife running me around ragged lol, having fun though. Went with the Metabo for the lifetime tool warranty, little more pricey, but that's worth it in my opinion.

Smoker?

What size is that one? I have a gas grill but just got rid of a second one (19 year old Weber) and been thinking about a Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe to diversify grilling options.

It is the classic II, same size as the large big green egg with an 18 inch grill. More expensive but better rated by consumer reports, liked the lid mechanism better than the bge and it comes with many accessories that don’t come with the bge.

Edit: Been using gas for years and with the new house and the storage space for both I want to get back cooking with charcoal. At some point will even try my hand at smoking!

new office chair for the home office.

X-Chair X4
upgraded leather, memory foam seat, cooling, and heated message


(please ignore the heater on the floor, my wife worked from home 2 days last week due to snow... she was chilly)

and the photo's posted sideways. Tried changing, twice and they kept coming up in this direction

Kinda my thought - would like to have both. Have the charcoal / smoker available but still have the gas available for quick and easy meals. I also used to have a Weber standalone smoker and liked it, but didn't use it all that much. Having something like this would provide that ability with more flexibility.

It looks great. Enjoy it!

Just looked up how much that bad boy cost and I think I could afford a wheel off of it lol. Very nice though, something to consider for sure. My new car has the massage seats so I'm getting spoiled.

The Kamado Joe is probably in the top five of all my favorite things I've ever bought. You'll love it and regret not getting one sooner. Congrats!

Thanks! Any tips for a newb?

Pizza cooked in the Big Green Egg are excellent, I’m sure that you can do the same.

Yes, there is a pizza stone available but have not purchased yet. Figure I’ll start with basics…
