Why I hate updates ... Thanks to you all !!

[Stephen Partington]

I am more than willing to help with this one. Let me know what budget, use
case needs, and any remaining wants/preferences (size, etc) and I would be
more than willing to get you parts that you can order and I can then build.
or at least get you links to applicable deals on pre-built systems to meet
your needs.

And yes, I offer this because I miss building computers.

rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
