It never fails to amaze me how the young take to technology. Very impressive young man. Papaw must be very proud. :clap:
The sugar cane check for the computer components reminds me of my late wife's aunt who grew up on a tobacco farm. When she told her father she would like a high school class ring, he said he'd kill a calf for the money. That's powerful close to the land, in the heart of the consequences. Grandaddy Dan, her father, was a mythic figure, I think half native American, Crow, I believe, and complicated, a big drinker and host of big holiday barbecue feasts, well loved and sensibly feared. The KKK came after him at one point, but his whole life story was like that. His wife had a graduate degree and taught, as did my late wife.
Please please please encourage him to earn Eagle. One of my biggest regrets is quitting scouts as a Star and not earning Eagle. At the time I (and class mates) didn't think it was "cool" to be in scouts. I was playing a lot of sports and with limited daily time I didn't want to devote more time to it. Now as a young adult I still cherish the things I learned and use it when going camping and backpacking.
Wow! Water cooled CPU and discrete video card. That young man is ready to do some serious gaming!
