i just use my 8yr old pc with the i5 and gtx 970. it keeps crashing but i just ignore it and it still works so whatever
my peripherals are mostly free handmedowns except for my g502
I'll just buy some Dell Optiplex for $200 from eBay, and then maybe trow in a cheap GPU.
I did that but the slim case didn't fit a GPU so I just have the door off and a PCI-E extender with the GPU precariously resting on top of the hard drive.
I did this way back in like 2008. I was working in IT and snagged an optiplex and had the bright idea to throw a gpu in it and see how it did. Realized a few things, at this particular time the psu did not have the extra connector for the gpu, I should have known that. So I buy one to swap it out, realize Dell had a proprietary mobo connector and was apparently something they did but not all the time. So I had to buy an adapter to make it work. Also had the same issue with getting it to fit as well! It worked great once I took care of all that! Lasted like 4 years.
I bought a replacement cover for my case. No window. Cable management can suck my dick.
I'm the one that can't afford to build any PC 😭
Scrounge for parts and build a low spec junker PC. It honestly sounds fun.
My pc looks like the first one (clear panel, same LED colors) but I most certainly feel like the second one with my rattling case fan that I never bothered to fix
I once put a huge room fan on my computer when the CPU fan died. It worked! I'm much more extreme than that second panel.
Depends, if it's all new stuff I'm the first one. If I'm swapping things out or cobbling something together from scraps it's the second one.
I do not deserve the one on the top. I brick my software on a monthly basis
I absolutely love both types. That's why I'm somewhere in between.
both
Bottom panel all the way. Expensive stuff dies/burns out at the same rate as cheap stuff, so you might as well go with the cheap stuff. The best way to pc game is on a budget custom build.
I am perfectly in the middle.
Definitely the bottom one. I have a totally black PC case and one of the case fans has a power cable that's extended using 2 taped together GPIO cables from my raspberry pi kit. There's also a hard drive in there that hasn't been working for 1 year at least
I drilled a hole in the wall and my PC is the nightlight of the kitchen. No noise.
Sounds like terrible air circulation. Or is it water-cooled?
I want to say the first, but it's the second
What about sffpc?
I'm about to build my first PC, and I'm planning to be in the middle.
I don't need all the fancy shit I just want to build something (without RGB bullshit) that will last me a long time and run linux flawlessly (so AMD everything?).
I know there are sites that will help with parts/linux compatability but I lost all my bookmarks last week, and I haven't been able to find it again yet.
If anyone has advice for me or knows that site, I'm all eyes! (Would be "all ears" but this is text lol).
The top one. My PC is awesome
