DESKTOP-01
After a while the Dell started to get a bit old and my parents bought me a new HP Pavilion a220n. This computer has seen many changes over the years. First I bought it a discrete graphics card to help it run newer games. Then it stopped booting and a new motherboard/CPU had to be bought for it, along with a new case. Then another new graphics card and a RAM upgrade. Then it stopped working again and a replacement motherboard and CPU were purchased, and another new case. Most recently a new power supply was put in it as the old one was having issues.
This was my main computer for many years. I used it for games and assignments up until my first year of university. I used it as a game server and SVN repository for a while. Currently it's serving as my windows XP development environment. It also has a version of Linux installed on a separate partition in case I ever want to do anything with that.
