Hello everyone!
I've been lurking on the YouTube channel and forums for years but finally decided to get on here and chat with you fine fellows. For myself, I'm an almost 30 year old computer engineer that currently works for a large IT company here in North Carolina USA as a project manager. Most of my hobby time is spent playing games, watching sports, modding cases, and spending money on things I don't need (but 1080 SLI was a need I tell my boss/wife).
Hopefully soon I'll be able to post a full build log of my current rig as parts start to show up and I finish changing my case over. The current transformation is going to be much needed as my current desk isn't deep enough so I decided to go overkill with a new Jarvis standing desk with bamboo top.
Currently running a 6700k @5ghz 1.42v, Maximus VIII Formula, 16gb Dom Plat, 2x 1080 FE's, Samsung 950 Pro 512gb, 1tb Mushkin reactor ssd, all cooled by an EK loop but I may be swapping over to Watercool Heatkillers if I go to 1080ti. Monitor wise I recently traded in my Predator X34 for the 27" 4K Predator with GSync just for compatibility at this point. All of this is currently housed in an originally black 780t that I painted the exterior with Ferrari Red and covered the side panels with black carbon fiber (couldn't help myself after TTL compared it to a race car look).
Most of my dabbling with PC hardware started with my dad teaching me to liquid cool a pentium 2 system back in the day and have done a refresh every year or so. (We still have some of the old aquarium pumps, heat exchangers, and copper pipe).
Look forward to finally join the community and the conversations with you all!

TLDR I have more money than brains
