'NYX'fall

Recently my old laptop began to show its age, HDD was too slow, heating issues and other hardware faults. It was a Samsung NP550P5C-S02IN, which served me well for more than 8 years. So I started the hunt for its replacement.

As I had moved primarily to console gaming long ago, wasn't too keen on getting a gaming laptop, gaming ability was just an additional plus point. It was around that time when Sony announced the pre-orders for PlayStation 5 will begin(finally) in India on January 12th. Of course I had to get one, but given the measly supplies allotted for India, I knew it was going to be very hard.

And just as I thought, it was a bloodbath. Only a few lucky ones were able to place the pre-order and of course I couldn't. It was pure chaos. This triggered me so hard, I thought of going all in and get a beast machine once and for all, hence decided to go for a fully loaded desktop instead.

I got my first desktop in the year 2002 and have been using laptops after that. So being out of the game for so long, it was a bit challenging searching for parts and sourcing them but finally managed to get everything despite the global GPU shortages and ridiculous hardware prices.
