oooooo, I should've posted this months ago..

So anyway I'm new here Have fun.

I have suggested this in a thread but decided to make a thread about it instead.

It would be cool to have a donation leaderboard here on JV2, Who has donated the most and also who has donated.

This will also trigger competitive people to donate, Win - Win.

I didn't know that someone brought this site back. It's been a hell of a long time but I stumbled upon here while doing an assignment for college so I decided to sign up to see what's going on. I'm glad that after so long this community continues to be as tight-knit as it always was, so maybe I'll stick around.

hi its me!!

It's still Monday... in UTC -11...



Thanks again to our donors! We'd only have single player Jiggmin games here if it weren't for you guys. <3

Just wanting to become a full member, this is required, hi.

I like games such as csgo, overwatch, diablo 3, tf2
I like music such as hip-hop 1990-2001 preferably and metalcore from probably around 2003-2012 too many artists to list but if you have the genre in common let me know what’s some good songs.
I also have started getting into designer/fashion clothing as I find it cool to have things come in nice packaging and branding etc just make sure it feel more special and it stops me from spending thousands on csgo skins which aren’t even even physical but maybe when I makes double the money I can have both

Also I am from Napier, New Zealand and I am currently living in Tauranga, New Zealand with my girlfriend and I work at a retail department store I am 19 and hope it is not all I will work at haha I need to save money..

Thanks for reading I was just bored, it is late, I want to be a full member, peace.

I guess I'm asking for advice. This is me cost-scraping as much as I want to (I was originally looking up near the $1,800 range) but I want to know if there's any ways I can push the price down further, whether it be a cheaper way of getting the Win10 OS or perhaps a different config that'd enable me to go cheaper. This'll be my first desktop and I'm a bit nervous about it, to be honest, but at worst this'll end up being a serviceable mini-PC with upgrade ability, and at best this is a stepping stone to a better PC. Thoughts and advice welcome -- should this be built (hopefully I'll have enough saved up by the end of the year to outright buy this or get family to fill in the gaps to have it as a birthday present), I may or may not put it in a separate thread. If anything, point me to a site where I could get advice if none is available. 

Hopefully this'll bring me back up towards the top of the folding food-chain soon enough! Might be time for me to make a return...

what’s this crap? lol
