GhostOfSecretSanta recently did a giveaway for some G-Skill Tridents and they were kind enough to pick me as a winner! They asked me what left I had for my build, and after mentioning I was in need of an SSD they went above and beyond and overnighted me this 2TB WD_BLACK SSD!!

After 9 knee surgeries over the past decade, I’m pretty limited with what I can do, especially since 2022 following a botched knee surgery that lead to an infection, a PICC line, multiple other surgeries, and just recently I had to have the nerves burnt off in my left knee to address my chronic pain.

With all these surgeries have come piles of medical bills and completing this build after the one I build in 2015 shorted, it started to feel kind of unrealistic with the prices of RAM. I now only need OS and a few case fans, saving me hundreds of dollars.

I hope I can pay it forward one day, and a forever thank you to /u/GhostOfSecretSanta for making this rough year a little bit brighter for me.

Happy Holidays to all that celebrate, and remember to be kind to one another. You never know what someone is going through.
