GLaDOS 2014 - 2020

So back in november 2014 I bought and built my main desktop PC - GLaDOS and tomorrow (or soon thereafter ) she will be powered off for the final time. She's never been the fastest or most stable rig i've ever owned but she has always gotten the job done, sometime even far out stripping my expectations of her.

GLaDOS Specs ( Base>upgrade>upgrade*)

4.2GHz AMD FX-4170 > AMD FX-9590
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 > Sabertooth 990fx r3.0
32GB Transcend 1333MHz
AMD ATI Radeon HD 7950 3GB > Nvidia GTX 790 > Nvidia RTX 2070
Cooler Master Elite 430 > Phanteks Enthoo Pro
Xigmatek Aegir Air CPU Cooler > Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R
Things of note are, in her original case under the motherboard I had engraved the name Caroline - What can I say I'm a bit of a sucker for Portal :wub:

So tomorrow when the new parts arrive, GLaDOS will be turned off one last time and placed away in the spares cupboard

The Replacement :

Intel Core i7 9700K 3.6 GHz (planning on overclocking)
Gigabyte Z390 AORUS ELITE Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB 3600MHz
Nvidia RTX 2070
Phanteks Enthoo Pro
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R
I don't have a confirmed name for the new system yet there are a few im considering
  • Ziggy
  • Marvin
  • Talkie
  • Homer
  • Guilty Spark
  • Johnny
  • Robbie
If you have any more suggestion be sure to leave them bellow. I may narrow it down a little more and do a poll on the best name and let 'temp decide haha
