    I got to say I really enjoy watching your work/videos but one the best things about you I really Enjoy is your Taste in Games 99% are games I have played and really like to see them working on Restored PC/Older/New modal is really Cool
    I agree yes alot PC break down more easily do to Companies Rushing PC be build most pick cheaper material buy bundle more of it to build a lot PC so when PC breaks they go buy new PC so find good Older/New PC that made Well or Buy one that is made Good with strong durability is bit hard find maybe make video best PC you have find that are made Tough parts to last life a time
    Don't get me wrong they do have some PC built with Strong but not all parts that is why we have to rebuild finding best parts sometimes cheap part works but when we find Great part with Fair Price we take it
