Comment on Day 440 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

SFF computers are crazy. I had a HP Compaq for my first “gaming PC” (4 GB of RAM and a 32 bit CPU in 2016). As expected it struggled to run most things. Still, for its age and tiny ass size it did really well with things I wouldn’t expect it too

Same. I always get fun ideas for builds but then look at PC part prices and go “no way I can afford that” and the idea just sits there lol.
I once saw a PC at my local Career Center in the Computer Engineer class that was filled with Mineral Oil irc (because it’s non conductive). That idea stuck with me because it was a very “why the fuck would you do that?” unhinged idea. They also had one with a screen slapped into the side.

That’s where I got all my used parts too. I don’t have as many issues with eBay as I do with other online marketplaces luckily (and as far as I know they haven’t done anything scummy which is a plus), but something about it just rubs me the wrong way. Idk what it is
