This is my gaming pc, which I built with my uncle in Austin, Texas, which might not be so much of an artifact relating to my heritage, but it certainly is related to my family. For starters, I’ve always wanted to have a gaming pc, and I thought that the best way to do that was to first get a gaming laptop. Oh, boy was I mistaken. Now, fast forward to about two years ago, my uncle who works for HP, the computer company, said that he was a part of a new project that they were working on, which was for a laptop line dedicated to content creation and high-workload processing. Being fascinated with how things such as this work, I asked a lot of questions. Eventually, he asked me if I would like to build a pc with him, and being the small dreamer that I was, I didn't think that I would be able to build a pc from scratch, even with help. He then convinced me that it would be easy, and with the help of his gaming expert friend, we were able to compile all the parts needed, which were extremely powerful, and that summer I built my first pc. The pc helped me to not only become more closely connected with my uncle, but it also allowed me to be independent, and it has now sparked my interest in technology and computer science.
