I've find myself visiting these forums quite frequently, usually just to salivate at unbelievable screens and read about people's insane rigs. The thing is, I am not a hardcore overclocker yet, or even a gamer.
You see, I'm a student, so it's a distant dream to even be able to come close to affording the hardware some of you guys have!!
So I had to sign up if anything just to ask the sole question:
What do you guys all do for a living??!
Does it allow you to comfortably support your hobby, whilst being a satisfying job in it's own right??
Left school at 16, went to college, left because it was awful and the teachers were useless. Now I work 9 - 5, 5 days a week as a Trainee Buying Clerk/Online store manager for a large car components firm.
I'm happy with the money I earn, love the job, and it allows me to fund my hobby, wouldn't mind if it was a bit more ICT orientated, but managing the online eBay/Store is quite interesting.
I sit at home cleaning and doing general house work, I essentially bum of my parents, even though they live 1000 k/ms away.
I'm also Doing courses in Business and I.T. and every now and then I build computers for cash. I also play poker every Friday and Saturday at the Casino to help fund my PC and Alcohol addiction.
(If I have a big win this weekend I can afford my Corsair 800D.
)
(EDIT) I also Breed rats for snake food/pet's, no I am not lying, I have pet rats and breed them.
