In 2012, I purchased the following computer from PC Specialist.
(specification below)
Voyager is still going strong, and working fine, but is beginning to struggle a little with some modern games and demands I place on it. So last week I placed a new order, for a more powerful computer, tower rather than laptop this time, and with as much capability as I felt I could reasonably afford. I will add specifications for Phoebe (the beast; giant; titaness) in a follow up, along with what I hope this new system can achieve.
