A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they’re all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me…
If I was to rebuild it from scratch with new parts but equivalent performance and capacity it owuld only be a couple of grand honestly…
my AV distro gear on the other hand… oof… decent small car money, and a terrible investment.
