A Serious Candidate For a Serious Time

no, its for children

the only children that can afford things like 1080s are teenagers and they should be spending that money on trying to get laid. pc gaming is for adults who are running the clock down.

2 desktops, a netbook, and a tablet for me. Main desktop for gaming and shitposting, secondary desktop for connecting to the TV, netbook for when I might need to type a lot away from home or connect to a projector, tablet for most on-the-go computing purposes and shitposting. The secondary desktop and netbook can be pressed into service for shitposting in emergencies, if I don't just use the Awful app on my phone.

I like computing, crunching data, saving files, downloading RAM, connecting to networks, hosting megabytes, mining bitcoins, phishing passwords, cracking, jacking, slacking, booting up, powering down, uploading .pngs, creating spreadsheets, basically all sorts of poo poo and I just couldn't do it without my good ol desktop personal computer (PC).


And i owe it all to my homeboy Billy G

my desktop is the perfect crystalline embodiment of my platonic gaming pc vision. i spent weeks carefully selecting each premium component on newegg.com, weighing thousands of reviews and hundreds of pages of tom's hardware articles to arrive at a level of aesthetic refinement and elegance that is truly unsurpassed, with no compromises to speed or power. the blacklight-reactive cables alone cost me dozens of dollars. at work they call me a sandwich artist, but for me, screwing together asus and msi products and mounting them in a 150-pound case with spoilers on it is the truest medium of artistic expression.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Legos don't have thermal paste and poo poo.

Paying someone to build your computer in 2016 is dumb, it's not even like legos it's more like those big 6 piece puzzles they make for toddlers. Everything is built to only plug in the right way now

There isn't even thermal paste to deal with unless you really care about it, most processors come with thermal tape on them that works good enough (probably, I cared about it and used paste, but even that's super easy)

People waste tons of money on all kinds of useless trash and no one cares, yet PC gamers get super pissed off if someone buys a pre-built PC. I don't get it.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PAST OR PRESENT DESKTOP COMPUTER(S), AND LET US MAKE GBS GREAT AGAIN!!!

I am building a new one right now. The parts just showed up today, but I decided to paint my tower first so I'm waiting for the paint to dry and I can start adding a few clear coats in about 45 minutes. I went with royal blue and white for the paint but I'm leaving the hd cages black. It should go pretty well with the motherboard I bought. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128943
