Ha!! Not til I followed the link!

I had a house fire almost exactly 4 years ago. Main bedroom burned. "office": the afore mentioned Benq monitor fell apart. PC: mb dead I bought another for ~$60, added the Samsung gen 1 NVMe, CPU and memory--sold the lot for ~$450!! (and pocketed the insurance $!!) Other end of hs: i7 based PC that I'd built in 2010 was fine... Cyberpower PC on rc rm/kitchen counter was fine save for the m/b...sold the Ryzen 1600x, mem etc for a few $
Built a Ryzen 2700x PC..upgraded it to a 3700x. Sold a GTX 1070 for abt $250-300 and then another 18 mo ago for $465!! Just sold my last (of 7) 1070's for $150.... (I'd thought I start mining..but never bothered.)
Built another PC for my main photo/vid editing box.... Ryzen 3900x, Gig x570 Ultra MB... now have two Samsung 980 pros in it...and 64 gb of mem, sold that cpu, got a 5950x---just after I'd got a used 3950x which I flipped for at least $100 profit!!

I have an Gig X570 Master and a box with room for a 360mm water cooler, will switch the 5950x into it so I can overclock it, which will match the RTX 3080Ti Ultra that I got as the prices were dropping. A 5900x which I got for a good price will go in the old case, along with a NVMe drive or two... which will give me three Ryzen based PC's... will try to sell one of them. I have a 3060Ti Ultra for that--which I won't sell and take a $250 loss on.

I'm using a GTX 1080 in PC#2 which shows some soot/corrosion on the fins from the fire, but it works fine...that and a GTX 1060 6gb aren't worth selling.

I have 5 4k monitors, including a $1500 BENq photo monitor that I got for $600 and change---even better than the one that---uhhh...melted
