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

Yeah good point, would be pretty cramped in there. Saying that, sffs have basically no ventilation and they seem to manage 😅 if I had the money I would be attempting so many PC builds just for the fun of it.

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.

Crazy I’d be interested to know why they did that 👀. I try to stick to second hand parts to keep the costs down but my only option is eBay really as there don’t seem to be many places that sell used PC parts round here

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
