/// abstract | Philosophy I like full-sized form factor builds for expandability, ease of maintenance, and generally cheaper and more available used parts.
Similarly, I prefer air-cooling over water-cooling for better reliability and repairability.
And I hate RGBs. ///

BenQ Zowie XL2566K
I mostly play :simple-valorant:{ .valorant } VALORANT so the 25" size and 360Hz refresh rate goes well together. I don't recommend this monitor, however, as it is 1080p and a TN panel. My dream monitor would be a 25" 1440p OLED at 360Hz.

AM4 is more than adequate for my fidelity and performance needs right now. I don't intend to upgrade to AM5. The next platform upgrade would likely be AM6 or Intel's equivalent.

Fractal Meshify 2 XL
I maxed out this case with 20 3.5" drives. I'll start to rotate out older and smaller capacity drives on upgrades for next few years. On the next platform upgrade (in ~5 years), I'll probably move to a rackmounted form factor.

Apple 14" Macbook Pro M3 Max, 36GB unified memory
This is my de-facto workhorse. The hardware and form factor is perfect for my use case. I plan on renewing AppleCare for it when it expires and don't intend on upgrading for the foreseeable future.

Mobile
- iPhone 14 Pro
It's an iPhone, nothing more, nothing less. It's much more powerful than what I use it for, especially since I don't care for photos. The battery life is what matters most to me. Should Apple releases a new iPhone Mini, I'd likely swap to that.
- iPad Mini 6th Gen
I use the iPad Mini to read the web, comics, mangas, and the occasional textbooks. It's also how I watch movies and shows on the treadmill.
- Kobo Clara BW
This is my default device for reading books. And since the majority of my book-reading are before bedtime, it lives primarily on my headboard or nightstand.

I love my Steam Deck OLED. I previously had a standard Steam Deck and cannot recommend the OLED model enough. I use it at my desk, in bed, and on travel. I play mostly indie and emulated titles on it.
