    Congrats!
    They give you some pretty nice stuff, not to mention the million mile truck.

    It took me 10 years and 1 month to reach a million.

    I treated myself to a late Christmas and bought a new computer.
    For nearly 15 years I have had only laptops because I was on the truck, and I wanted a desktop again.

    So I went to Costco and grabbed a MSI Codex series.
    Intel Core Ultra 7 265
    Nvidia RTX 5060Ti
    32GB ram
    2TB SSD with Windows 11 (yuk)

    Then headed to Best Buy for the monitor and and another SSD for Linux.
    Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB (with heatsink) for the SSD. (Much better than the WD Green that Windows is stuck on.)
    AOC 27" QD OLED for the monitor. (Best image quality of any monitor I have seen. It's amazing.)

    I'm in computer heaven now.

    I always build my own computers, I running windows 11, seems fine, lots of things disabled.
