Comment on What next, power supply shortages?
zikzak025@lemmy.world 5 days agoI wanted to build a computer a couple years ago, but the prices they were charging for individual components even then just didn’t make sense compared to buying a more affordable pre-built.
I can’t imagine trying to build one now with these RAM prices, it’s insane.

I haven’t built my own computer since the 90s. Early 90s. It seems like you will always get a way better deal buying a comparable prebuilt one. And then there’s all the goddamn hassle. But I guess if that’s what you are into, maybe that’s fun. Like people who work on rebuilding old cars. I’m a software guy. Hardware is always such a pain in the ass to deal with.
