And preliminarily installed in the case to check fit and make sure there weren't any issues with clearances, overheating and so forth:

Very professional, very clean!

I guess it's a work pc?

Hello,

Thank you.

I do use it for some software testing, running virtual machines and the like.  But I have also played some games on it (Solitaire, most recently).

Regards,

LOL! Sounds like me (and my late wife, RIP 👼 ). When we got married in 1991, she introduced me to Solitaire, which I had never played. A few years later, I introduced her to Mahjong (which I discovered and quickly became addicted to). We both alternated between Solitaire and Mahjong. When she passed on from cancer in 2020, I had to check her PC for various things, when I discovered that the only game installed on her PC was Mahjong! (As was mine!) So I had a private chuckle, realizing that my brilliant 40-year long math teacher wife had actually adopted a game that I found first and then suggested to her! For once she let me feel smarter than almost as smart as her for a change! 😉

the computer was built for me, what didn't they take off???

In shipping, you don't want that glass to shatter. Shipping meaning in your car or shipping over states. (IDK where you got it from)

When you open up your computer, you take that seal off.

Just rocking a 27 inch iMac from 2014. LED cinema display. Silver (duh). Nothing special. Nice rigs, neowin!

Kicking off 2024 with my primary workstation setup. Monitor is currently set to DisplayPort output that's connected to the Precision T7910. Also that teal board is acting as a side panel cover for the T7910 due to running 2x Noctua tower coolers that was a tad tall.
