After I build them i quickly loose interest in them, ive got 15 built, fully configured and everything installed but I havn't used one in the last year
I think Iunderstand you . I love tweaking, testing and upgrading my setup . Playing games is fun too, sometimes. However, I think that I am at my happiest when something does not work as planned or breaks and I need to fix it or work around it .
Excatly, my Radeon 9700 Pro was dead oh 4 months ago when I turned on my XP 2800 system i like to boot them up once a month before turning them off, dunno why I just do, but I noticed the 9700 Pro wasn't displaying, took it out and tested it in 2 other computers and same issues no display. So I bought a 9800 Pro for cheap on ebay, installed it, ran 3dmark, then turned off the computer, ive turned it one 3 times since then, and then off a day later, still havn't played a single game on it.
these are fully working, on 3 KVM Switches and ready to go on my desk, but none are used, and 3 are on the floor same working condition.
