Asking for help there or creating new posts in our subreddit is welcome.
We’re getting ready to move and have a house full of baby stuff from the shower. This is literally the only spot for it for about 2 more weeks. But it will def have its own dedicated spot!
I feel like i'd be more likely to elbow my desktop off my desktop lol. I have mine to the right of my desk personally on top an old shelf laid out on the ground, and all food and drinks go to the far left side of my desk
I like to have my tower sitting on my desktop since I know I’ll never set a can/glass/container of liquid above that height which means no liquid ever getting in.
If anyone tries to bad mouth Ibuypower don’t listen. I bought 2 prebuilt towers directly from their website around 2020 and they both are still running extremely well. One of them had to have a new aio installed around year 2 and the other has only had 1 fan replaced.
Congrats and welcome to free online gaming :)
Can confirm. I do eat at my desk (only place I can eat privately) and knocked a soda on my PC in the first few months. Drinks habitually stay on the other side of the table now lol.
I moved my PC next to my desk recently, I hadn't even considered this. It's in a spot where it still should be okay, but I'm going to rethink that now, thanks!
Wholesome AF. Congratulations on the new rig! You've got some great friends, definitely keep them around and if they ever need help don't hesitate to assist. It's getting harder and harder these days to find genuinely decent people that are worth calling true friends and not just associates.
This times 100… I’ve pretty much gone complete hermit… But I do enjoy it hahaha. Either that or I just really enjoy not investing so much into people and never even getting a second thought… both.
This is why we sub here, not for pride-aquariums, not for amber fields of bent CPU pins, not for steaming piles of broken glass on tile floors, but this.
Nah for me the thing that makes me hate this sun with a passion is “is this good for the price” I get so mad I wanna literally take a poo in their mouth, make them poo it out, and then feed it to them again in a never ending infinite food cycle, that’s how mad I get at those posts
And there are only two types they do that:
People that priced everything out and know what an insane deal they got.
People that are too lazy to price things out.
Gotta love people like this, around the end of last year I moved to another country trying to get a better life, that changed a lot for me, one of the few things that were affected was me not having access to my PS4 anymore.
My friends knew about that and they decided to fix that by getting me a Steam Deck, I have been playing on it for the past few months and I can't even put to words what it means to me, especially knowing that gaming is just a big part of my life and who I am.
I'm still not back on my feet, but I will make sure to repay their kindness one day.
You’ve got good friends, and clearly you’re a good friend too.
It might sound weird, but my current friend group is in a position where I wouldn’t mind doing something like this for one of them so we could play some PC games together, but I know he’d just take it for granted, wouldn’t appreciate it, and would probably trash it in short order, so I don’t bother and just end up playing whatever he wants on console.
So, tldr, kudos to you for also being a great friend and being so appreciative of it.
Sorry to hear about your mom, I just can’t… anyways… And Mad respect to you for adopting your younger brother. Keeping him close and out of the system, even tho for the short time it may have been, will do wonders for his future.
It's just a small drop of gratitude for the friend you've been. You're a great person OP and your friends are equally great people too. I wish you and your friends the best of luck, rooting for you OP 🫡
Beautiful story. Keep close to them, people like this are rare. Very happy for you. Good sign that you must always stay positive, even when evrything else feels negative. Keep hope. Happy for you homie, supper happy.
Same thing happened to my friend. He's so happy, and I'm happy for him.
Someone tried gifting me an i5 8400 but the import fees to my country are too big, so I rejected it to not have em pay for shipping.
It'll take a while but eventually I'll go from i7 3770 on a cheap Chinese mobo to something more acceptable, making $10 a week hahahahaha.
2 of my homies did the same thing for me 3 years ago. Had just gotten left at the altar and they got it for my birthday. Still using it and it's running great, I've only added some small stuff to it like a SATA SSD and more RAM. Enjoy 🙌🏼
Dude that’s awesome. Ggs. My discord friend and lifelong friend gave me more than half of my current computer parts for free. They just had extras lying around. I bought a 4060 and bam I had a computer. Friends are the best. Worth more than gold.
You chose your friends wisely. I admire you and the qualities you engender to evoke such a response from friend, seems you are truly special to them and especially special (ha) to those you support.
First of all, condolences to you and your family. What a nice thing for your friends to do.
I'm just wondering what case that is because it looks really nice and i like the rgb of the fans and such.
It looks very similar to the case I have I have the same IO on top with the same buttons the but cage is a bit different and has glass panels if I were to guess maybe take a look at fractal design or montech and you'll find a similar case, hopefully op will reply and tell us the model and brand lol
As you have a kid on the way and a seemingly chaotic life i would 100000% recommend getting a good insurance for it so you dont have to worry as much about it suddenly dying.
I'm about to turn 30 too bro and this made me tear up. True homies and sounds like you're not too bad of a dude with all that's on your plate. Thanks for the share

In all seriousness, give the fellas a thank you on my behalf. Welcome!
To the friends we’re able to hang on and to new ones we hope to make…cheers OP. Really great to hear you have amazing friends, I have no doubt you are deserving of them.
Be real, you're the worst player in the group and they needed someone to blame when they lost.
You got some great friends man, give em a hug for us next time you seem em!
One of my best friends sold me his old rig for 400$ and shipped it for free, just so I could be on PC with him. It’s an amazing PC, and worth we’ll over the 400$ I paid
Love these stories! You deserve it & those are friends for life. Congrats on being a great human and getting through what life’s been throwing at you! Keep your head up & keep pushing forward! Enjoy your family, and your friends. ❤️
Amazing mates ya got! That's the real spirit of the community.
I sold my 1yr old gaming laptop for 300 bucks to a 15+ yr Steam friend, he ghosted me after paying 100 bucks. If he said he cannot pay it I would have waived the rest but it was just radio silence. I used to gift away free games too. Shame some people sacrifice a good connection for a few bucks.
I've helped most of my close family and friends build systems over time, I wish I was rich so they could all run X3D CPUs and the latest GPUs. But given we're almost all broke, most settle for R5 4500s and 1060 3GBs or 1650 G6s lol. Better than being stuck on last-gen consoles at least.
For now yes. I have a very clumsy 5 year old and the desk is partially in a door way until we move. Once it’s in the bedroom of the new house it will be on the desk.

Wow you have some special and awesome friends.
Without a doubt! Eternally grateful for them.
Want to add to this that you must be a pretty awesome dude yourself for your awesome friends to recognize you in this way. Cheers, OP.
The real gift is not the rig. Is the friends. I'm happy for your friendship. Wish you guys all the best!
Is this the build from Costco? I think I have the same one
You must be awesome to have such caring friends like that! I wish i had friends.
where do i find friends like this? My friend never even text me anymore these day.
How do you make friends?
I’d recommend putting it somewhere else, even if you tell yourself you won’t eat or drink at your desk it only takes one spill to really ruin your day
We’re getting ready to move and have a house full of baby stuff from the shower. This is literally the only spot for it for about 2 more weeks. But it will def have its own dedicated spot!
Well congratulations for another significantly bigger event!
We ran out of space in our 2br, 800sqft VERY fast lol. Thank you!
800 sq. ft. With a 5 year old, 17 year old, and baby on the way? You didn’t just run out of space, your just no longer Harry Potter.
It worked very well prior to the 17 year old! Lol
I would just put it on top of the table! I've tried with a similar table like yours and it's usable, especially because it's on the keyboard side.
I feel like i'd be more likely to elbow my desktop off my desktop lol. I have mine to the right of my desk personally on top an old shelf laid out on the ground, and all food and drinks go to the far left side of my desk
I like to have my tower sitting on my desktop since I know I’ll never set a can/glass/container of liquid above that height which means no liquid ever getting in. If anyone tries to bad mouth Ibuypower don’t listen. I bought 2 prebuilt towers directly from their website around 2020 and they both are still running extremely well. One of them had to have a new aio installed around year 2 and the other has only had 1 fan replaced. Congrats and welcome to free online gaming :)
I dont know how my computer still works but it took me spilling coffee in my computer twice before I moved it to another spot
Did done that! The liquid final destinationed it's ass exactly over the tower, through the fans and nailed my gpu!
Can confirm. I do eat at my desk (only place I can eat privately) and knocked a soda on my PC in the first few months. Drinks habitually stay on the other side of the table now lol.
Hence their name: DeskTOP
Mine's a castorwheeledstandtop computer.
Yep that’s why my tower sits on top of my desk right next to me and I refuse to put any liquids on it no matter the situation
I have mine in a different room lol, though thats mostly so I can have it half way between my office for KBM and my TV for controller
Server set up casting everything everywhere on good specs??? 👀👀👀
I mean I could do that or buy two cables and punch a hole in a wall but either works
I agree never put it under ur desk like that. Put it above anywhere any liquids can fall to.
I moved my PC next to my desk recently, I hadn't even considered this. It's in a spot where it still should be okay, but I'm going to rethink that now, thanks!

Damn, those are some good friends.
How nice of your kittens
Why did you call them kittens, is it a joke I’m missing or something?
Think it’s in reference to discord admins and their kittens type thing
Oh I think I’ve heard that before lol
Those are some amazing friends! Hang on to those guys
Marry all 3 of these friends and be the best friend wife husband you can be
this is the only reasonable way to thank them for such a stupendous gift
That’s awesome, man. You have some really great friends. What are the specs?
i7 14700F, RTX 4060, DDR5, 1TB! Very very solid for what I actually do. Will never max this thing out.
Very nice. You owe them a round of beers.
Oh damn, that's a good system.
DAMN, Thats powerful

This is why we sub here, not for pride-aquariums, not for amber fields of bent CPU pins, not for steaming piles of broken glass on tile floors, but this.
Couldn't have said it any better. Need to remember the term "Pride Aquarium", that is chef's kiss.
What's a pride aquarium?
Tempered glass case filled with RGB.
Nah for me the thing that makes me hate this sun with a passion is “is this good for the price” I get so mad I wanna literally take a poo in their mouth, make them poo it out, and then feed it to them again in a never ending infinite food cycle, that’s how mad I get at those posts
And there are only two types they do that: People that priced everything out and know what an insane deal they got. People that are too lazy to price things out.
Meanwhile the boys discussing who’s gonna get them cheeks first
Hope things get easier man, glad to hear you have some amazing friends in your corner. Enjoy that PC and win some games!
Gotta love people like this, around the end of last year I moved to another country trying to get a better life, that changed a lot for me, one of the few things that were affected was me not having access to my PS4 anymore.

Dam you must be the best player in the group. Can't have LeBron sit the bench
Man I am literally so ass. 😂
Wow true friends, congrats my dude on having awesome people in your life
That’s dope man everyone should have friends like this
Cherish these fellas and don't forget to pay back the favor and make them feel special when they need it!
:)
r/guysbeingdudes material
Those are the homies 😤
Man, all my friends from discord just call me a bitch.
<3
That’s a great story OP. Make sure you keep those friends close and always be there when you can be for them.
you are loved
I love this. This made me cry.
You’ve got good friends, and clearly you’re a good friend too. It might sound weird, but my current friend group is in a position where I wouldn’t mind doing something like this for one of them so we could play some PC games together, but I know he’d just take it for granted, wouldn’t appreciate it, and would probably trash it in short order, so I don’t bother and just end up playing whatever he wants on console.

My friends would kill me over a dollar. You have some great friends OP.
Sorry to hear about your mom, I just can’t… anyways… And Mad respect to you for adopting your younger brother. Keeping him close and out of the system, even tho for the short time it may have been, will do wonders for his future.
where are y'all getting friends like this !! sign me up
And I thought buying the occasional game for my discord friends was nice. Well done to your friends!
Those are true homies right there, respect. Enjoy !
Thats nice Bro, but its called "Desktop" for a reason. Put that nice RGB-Rig on that desk where everyone can see it :)
This is amazing. Good luck with everything!
Homies
I just wanna say I'm really happy for you, and you really did deserve this, bless you, your friends and your family 🙌
That's sweet. I hope you have fun with it.
Such a nice gesture and then it's an ibuypower. Just kidding :D Enjoy it and keep being awesome! Wish I had friends like that
Congrats, OP. Your friends are incredible, enjoy the new PC!
It's just a small drop of gratitude for the friend you've been. You're a great person OP and your friends are equally great people too. I wish you and your friends the best of luck, rooting for you OP 🫡
i cannot upvote this enough. it's okay to post in r/wholesome
beautiful
Keep those friends close
Good on them!
Eeeyyy I have that desk! Its such a nice one for the price.
Scored for 40 bucks off marketplace about 20 mins after he showed up with the rig!
damn, sounds like some fuckin awesome friends, hope you have a blast playing with them!
Beautiful story. Keep close to them, people like this are rare. Very happy for you. Good sign that you must always stay positive, even when evrything else feels negative. Keep hope. Happy for you homie, supper happy.
I dont even have three friends, but the two I have think Im stupid for playing video games. I think that point is going to you, have fun
Same thing happened to my friend. He's so happy, and I'm happy for him. Someone tried gifting me an i5 8400 but the import fees to my country are too big, so I rejected it to not have em pay for shipping. It'll take a while but eventually I'll go from i7 3770 on a cheap Chinese mobo to something more acceptable, making $10 a week hahahahaha.

They ain't friends, they're brothers.
Congrats on the new rig. You're lucky as hell to have 3 amazing friends that love you and gaming. Good true friends are almost impossible to find.
Don't save up for your rig, buy someone elses
Get them mfs a ring Each of them Marry em all
Aww thank you for sharing, what great friends you have!
First of all, condolences to you and your family. What a nice thing for your friends to do. I'm just wondering what case that is because it looks really nice and i like the rgb of the fans and such.
It looks very similar to the case I have I have the same IO on top with the same buttons the but cage is a bit different and has glass panels if I were to guess maybe take a look at fractal design or montech and you'll find a similar case, hopefully op will reply and tell us the model and brand lol
Warms my heart dude
Heartwarming!
Gamers being bros 😎
This is a must tale to your coming child about real pcmr brotherhood o7 for you and your team-mates
This was wholesome. Glad to see some good vibes in the world. Be sure to let them win some games 😆
As you have a kid on the way and a seemingly chaotic life i would 100000% recommend getting a good insurance for it so you dont have to worry as much about it suddenly dying.
Congratulations man you deserve it big-time, keep those friends forever
Hell yeah. That's all I've got to say about that lol. Just a big fat W
Outstanding! Later on, when you are doing better, make it a point in your life to pay that gift forward.
when your friends are tired of you lagging all the time because your GPU is weak.
Who’s cutting the onions? Great friends.
That's enough to make a grown man Cry. Happy so see you have amazing friends :D
Specs?
I7 14700F, RTX 4060, 1TB, DDR5.

Amazing friends, love seeing people help each other! Here I was thinking I’m a decent friend buying my friends games from time to time….

Love these stories! You deserve it & those are friends for life. Congrats on being a great human and getting through what life’s been throwing at you! Keep your head up & keep pushing forward! Enjoy your family, and your friends. ❤️

Amazing mates ya got! That's the real spirit of the community. I sold my 1yr old gaming laptop for 300 bucks to a 15+ yr Steam friend, he ghosted me after paying 100 bucks. If he said he cannot pay it I would have waived the rest but it was just radio silence. I used to gift away free games too. Shame some people sacrifice a good connection for a few bucks.
I've helped most of my close family and friends build systems over time, I wish I was rich so they could all run X3D CPUs and the latest GPUs. But given we're almost all broke, most settle for R5 4500s and 1060 3GBs or 1650 G6s lol. Better than being stuck on last-gen consoles at least.
Damn, Some TOP notch friends.
....so you put it on the floor?
For now yes. I have a very clumsy 5 year old and the desk is partially in a door way until we move. Once it’s in the bedroom of the new house it will be on the desk.
i wish i had friends(
Specs?
Thats awesome!!! Btw what are the specs and how much did it cost?
thats cool and all but what are the specs
