    Think you might like to read "Adrift: America in 100 Charts" by Scott Galloway. He covers the impact of babyboomers on America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Galloway_(profes…

    In one of the other videos, you can see a 3 by 3 sized platform with the same wheel setup - it has a platform for 1-2 people and a crane. I imagine they set some sort of exclusion …

    Agreed - They are pretty easy to assemble these days. I used the pcpartpicker, like you, and had it done in an hour. Unless you get case which is too small, and you have problems g…
