Ten years ago, I embarked on creating one of the most expensive gaming PCs you can build. My goal was to target 4K gaming at 60fps back in 2015, a time before the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X were conceivable. This video is a retrospective on my past build, the gameplay experiences and why I did it. It also contains my official statement on an eventual return to PC gaming. I hope you enjoy!

Fun Fact: This 50GB 4K60 video took nearly 20hrs to render on this setup.
