I was like that, until I realized that pc building is no harder than playing with legos, except each lego piece is sold separately and inflated to astronomical prices compared to just buying the already handmade set to go. I've been PC gaming for over 20 years, and this latest PC I just got is probably the most powerful I've ever had, and it was a prebuilt. I would have spent an extra grand juggling different part retailers + shipping and tax if I went the custom built route, it just aint worth it nowadays chief.

>>745229172
Is that a cat exclusive thing? For dogs they just draw a small green line on their belly. Seems a bit invasive

>>745228443
PSU's are a non issue, I've been using custom builts forever, and if I had the choice between a great pre-built PC deal and a custom built with expensive part separately, I would go for the prebuilt and just replace anything that might be cheap, which is not really common nowadays, anyhow as most PC parts are fairly standardized now.

You can make a bootable from basically anything down to a phone micro-sd card :(

>>745227386
Yes I've built 4 desktops. My current case has a glass and when I need to remove the dust or change thermal paste I just flip it on the side.
When I do the initial build I just assemble the motherboard + ram + nvme + cpu + paste + cooler in that order before putting it in the case.
It's not that complicated, if you break the glass you're most likely not very good with your hands or doing it for internet brownie points.

>>745229408
It's something only some cultures do, and only rarely for actual pets. It's mostly something done to strays to help control the feral populations. The clipped ear is to help animal control know that they don't need to chase that cat down.

The only thing that really is bad and unnecessary is water cooling. It is a much greater hassle to build, more expensive, more prone to error, more work to maintain, and if something leaks the clean up is going to be a nightmare. And for what? For cooling performance that is not even noticeably better than air, if at all, because the water itself needs to be cooled too. And guess how that happens? With air cooling! So at the end of the day water cooling is just gloryfied air cooling with extra steps. It has it's niches, but gaming pc's aren't one of them. Water cooling is for retards.

tempered glass is especially brittle to any stress or impact orthogonal to its plane
if you ever have to throw out an old shower door, or other big pane of tempered glass, give it a gentle tap with a hammer on its edge to see it burst into a gazillion fragments
plenty of retards tighten down screws holding tempered glass too tight, a penetrating screw through a hole is just asking for trouble because it concentrates stresses into much smaller points, and dragging a case with a pc in it that has rubberized feet across a desk or other surface can make the whole thing vibrate at a resonant frequency and explode

The computer case shields your computer from EM interference and vice versa and having a window negates this effect.

You dont need to know how a computer works on a physical level to build it, just look at all the retards ITT who have "built" one, its literally just popping parts together like legos. The only thing to know is which legos go where

I had a cat that got ear clipped due to cancer on the ear. Then a couple of years later they got the same thing on the other ear.

Apparently it happens a lot to cats with white ears.

I wish I did too, but my R7 was literally 50% off (like right around 100 bucks) a few years ago during black friday, so I just took it. It's an amazing case, and the glass panel hasn't busted yet. I am extremely careful with it though.

It's the white elephant in the room, not "shortage".
The one where anything under 10nm is a fucking lie, and we're just optimizing transistors to occupy less space, and that requires a shitload more money and time and manufacturing steps.

do you not understand? No one is chasing down feral strays to check them for microchips. A clipped ear doesn't hurt them and lets animal control know from a distance that this cat has been sterilized so they don't need to worry about it.

I had this an hour ago.

I have simply accepted that the issues with my new motherboard are too much trouble to either spend weeks unsuccessfully troubleshooting or risking something breaking by replacing it entirely. But man, the previous mid-range PC I built had no issues and booted in seconds, while the new one's RGB controls don't work (can't be turned off), sometimes just shuts off all of its wireless capability randomly, and consistently takes at least a minute to get to the BIOS screen (monitor always automatically goes back to sleep mode before booting completes)

Don't listen to the drama queens, 12gb is enough for 1440p gaming. $600 is not great, but the market is honestly just going to keep getting worse.

I like having one glass side so I can see how much dust is inside or if a weird noise is something getting loose. But I just have the glass side pointed at the wall so I don't have to see it if I don't want.
I'm actually quite happy with my setup right now

Many people do not understand that there is more than one type of glass and assume all glass will hold up to the same stresses. They lay it down on a dirty floor "because I'm gonna clean it later anyways" and then get surprised when the scratches cause it to shatter.

They manage cat population using a method called TNR (trap neuter release).

After they catch and neuter a stray, they clip the ear so that the people trying to manage the cat population know not to try to trap that cat again. So if you see an indoor cat with a clipped ear like that, it means they were probably a stray adopted from the pound.

Some places used to do a tattoo instead but mostly everyone has switched over to ear-tipping.
