Sometimes you just want to brag about something you excel at but never get the chance or you’re just to modest. Now is your chance to tell a bunch of internet strangers about your amazing talent.

I am really good at building computers. Like speccing out the parts, making sure they’re compatible, making sure they look good together, doing nice cable management, setting up the UEFI settings, etc. I spend a lot of time staying up to date on all the new hardware and checking prices.
Other than laptops, I’ve built every computer I’ve owned since I was about 14. It’s so fun that I’ll spec out PCs on Newegg with no intention of buying them, just for fun. My wife thinks I have too many computers, which I can’t really argue with, but I just know I’m one good sale away from building another.
It actually came in handy recently, when my sister wanted to buy her husband a gaming PC for Christmas. I gave her a bunch of spare parts I had, and we ordered the rest and built him a beautiful PC within her budget.
I built my company’s servers too, instead of paying the ungodly high prices for equivalent Dell or HP servers.
