I liked it better when I thought it was a porn game titled Ape X One

I could understand it if Microsoft handed out Windows for free... But they don't. You pay for it somehow.

Exactly what I was thinking

Can't you already do that with pretty much every modular PSU out there?

Thank you for the summary. Nice to see I didn't screw everything up on fans all these years - I've always kinda done the Goldilocks thing. Wonder how this compares to the positive case pressure crowd, since it seems to pretty much say don't do that.

I have, years and years ago. I broke many Durons figuring it out. I still have it somewhere, but can't find it at the moment. It looks horrendous and frankestein, but it worked. Getting the mounting down is the hardest part. Everything else is just plumbing.

It looks neat, but not really sure what the benefit is here, since the cables are already modular. Seems like just one more connection point that could break that doesn't really add any value to anything. I see this kind of connection on industrial PC/PLCs all the time - but those are terminal...

I find myself getting bored with most games in general, to be honest. The few that do seem to keep my attention lately are usually not the flashy, popular AAA games any longer. Given the current state of gaming PCs.. honestly, if/when my current computer craps out, I dunno that I'll build...

There is a lot to be said for a machine that comes pre-assembled, with pre-installed OS, updates that are custom made just for the hardware (that don't require a lot of effort to install), and no struggling with drivers or software compatibility. I mean.. it's a console in every sense of the...

I wonder if the AI overlords have considered if they continue to consume all the computer parts, eventually, who will be left over to consume their product?

I honestly have no idea what the value of a machine like this is in today's market. Everything has changed so much since mining bubble, then Covid, and continues to change with AI. Off the cuff, i can say - that's a lot of cash for a glorified Steam console. I was interested, but not at this...
