The one thing Ingrid wished for her birthday and Christmas was a proper gaming computer. She has a laptop but it’s starting to show its age, and it’s just not enough for the games she plays these days.

She’s spent weeks on research, comparing different graphics cards and processors and other components. Now finally she’s made her choice and put in the order. The delivery arrived a few days ago. Ingrid made a brave attempt at putting it together on her own, but then had to ask for more expert help. Eric and Ingrid spent all of yesterday evening figuring it all out. After a good while they realized that some of cables that were already attached when the case arrived, had been attached incorrectly. That didn’t exactly help.

Finally around midnight I heard them exclaiming happily that all the fans were spinning and all the lights were lighting up and synchronized with each other. Yay!
