Rather than disposing of the GTX1660Ti, MoNoRi-Chan chose to donate it to Igq, who is a CEO of the Grassstation community. This act of generosity allowed Igq to have a dedicated gaming PC at the shop, incorporating the GTX1660Ti as a vital component. The recycled nature of the GPU, combined with other salvaged parts, resulted in a unique and somewhat "Frankenstein" configuration.

But that's not just only thing he donated. He also gave him his Steam account so Igq could enjoy steam games such as Killing Floor 2 and more.
