Gear
I have a strong interest in desktop building, and when I grow up and have the money and ability, I hope to build my dream desktop.
This post is inspired by Jeff Su (opens in a new tab). The products are not necessarily the latest and greatest of the day, but they are products that make my life better.
What's on my desk?
