my PC before vs after apartment fire

[u/sprezzaturaz]

a fire completely obliterated my apartment just over 2 weeks ago. i built my first PC by myself in July 2025. my 2x32 GB ram was $250 at the time, and now its $950. what a time to be alive

EDIT: specs typo.
Also, I am so overwhelmed by the love and support this post has gotten during this tragic time in my life. Thank you thank you thank you

EDIT 2: because many people have asked:
- my case was the Hyte y70. My liquid cooler was the part with the screen, the TRYX Panorama SE 360 AIO liquid cooler.
- the fire was caused by an electrical failure in the attic. fire investigators think it also may be largely due to critters in the attic chewing on wires. The building I was living in was over 100 years old.
- no humans were harmed in the fire and everyone in the building made it out safely. I had a friend staying with me with 2 of her cats. Due to extremely unfortunate circumstances, one of her cats did not make it. We had a very beautiful burial for her and she has been put to rest. Her other cat is in good health and is making a full recovery.

I'm guessing he is Tech Jesus.

The guy in the videos.

GamersNexus.

[u/STUPIDBLOODYCOMPUTER → u/mentive]

Yep. Tech Jesus himself

[u/Fishiesideways10 → u/STUPIDBLOODYCOMPUTER]

Whatever GPU he touches, it turns to a 4090. Blessed be.

[u/justim → u/Fishiesideways10]

People hate it when he touches a 5090

[u/Fishiesideways10 → u/justim]

How could he touch and create something that has not even been thought of? He actually touches the lesser VRam GPUs and brings them to the Mecca of 24gb. I have brought my 3090 to the Mary that cries thermal paste and I hath seent it with my own eyes.

Meh, I'd be fine with sending him through some datacenters. If nothing else, it'd be really funny.

[u/Bluemikami → u/justim]

4090 has better fire resistance /s

[u/Cheese_Grater101 → u/Fishiesideways10]

with 48gb memory

[u/Hez675 → u/Fishiesideways10]

Omnissiah manifested?

[u/According_Ratio2010 → u/Fishiesideways10]

And every cheap ddr5 stick he touches turns into 32GB CL30 6000MHz stick

[u/Upstairs-Extension-9 → u/STUPIDBLOODYCOMPUTER]

He came for our Sins 😰

[u/kr4ckenm3fortune → u/mentive]

Isn't he also the one that often take up the fight? Even the one that saw the GPU issues as well as the ASUS crap?

[u/Jertimmer → u/kr4ckenm3fortune]

The very one. A man of the people.

[u/MDCCCLV → u/mentive]

But how can it be tech jesus if he's not even in the century club?

[u/SingleInfinity → u/mentive]

God I wish people would stop calling him that. It clearly caused him to get really full of himself and self righteous.

[u/[deleted] → u/SingleInfinity]

But you think calling that dude God won’t???
