Major Announcement – Commissions Open

Posted on 2021-11-20 Written by D. Lee Jackson Leave a Comment

Clock CrushWell, the computer build was coming along nicely until household finances reared their ugly head. I am now $529 away from completing the build, and that’s where I will stay until at least after the first of the new year. I’ve made great progress in getting things together using just my own money and have dipped into the household budget just once on a pre-Black Friday item that was about to run out of inventory.

So, I am officially on hiatus now. No more purchases from the household account. The only allowed purchases until January 2022 will be ones that will be made with funds I have in my own personal bank account. Therefore, as of this moment, I am open for limited commissions. See my Commissions page for details. Do you know anyone who needs a few minutes worth of music written for them? Have them contact me from the Contact Page and we’ll set things up.

Since I’m on Social Security Disability retirement, there is a limit to how much I can earn in any given month, We can discuss that when you contact me, since it will affect how much music I can write in a given month. I do guarantee, however, that I will be offering high quality product for the price we negotiate, whatever the limitation may be. 

Back to the computer parts list: at first, everything I make will be reinvested into the computer until I can bring the new build online. That’s the main reason for me opening up commissions at this time.

Now, allow me to post what I’ve got and what I’m missing so far:

  Total $2724.09

The total of unpurchased parts comes in at just under $529, as mentioned earlier. The biggest issue is the motherboard. All the rest is CPU Cooling and case cooling. Once that’s taken care of, the system can start to go together. BTW, that total of $2724.09 includes the unpurchased $529 worth of hardware. Just so we’re clear on the matter.

Anyway, you see how close I am, which is why I’m so eager to do a few commissions. Please allow some time for me to go through any that I might get, if I get any. Thank you for reading!
