Full sized towers are for idiots, everything you need should be able to fit in a micro atx case and probably that's too big too

Germstore posted:bigger case means bigger fans, bigger fans are quieter fans (for a given amount of airflow) The noisiest fan in my computer is the video card and I don't think the case size matters there? The other ones are practically silent already

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)

Facebook Aunt posted:Laptops will never pull ahead. It will always be cheaper and easier to stick components in a big box than in a tiny wafer. It will always be easier to cool a desktop than a laptop. A desktop will always be easier to upgrade than a laptop (important either if you need to always have the latest thing, or are poor/cheap and want to keep your computer running for as long as humanly possible.) There will never be a point where we aren't racing towards higher resolutions and more consistent framerates until our desktops can display a scene that literally appears real, like you were looking through the monitor into a window, without ever dropping a frame or tearing the screen, or we're all too busy trying to find drinkable water and bullets for the guns we've welded to our cars

I was seriously thinking about getting a bigger form factor than micro atx next computer I built because sometimes replacing things in there is a pain in the rear end because of how close together everything is, but now that I know about mini itx I'm going to have to keep going down this path thanks thread

Roger_Mudd posted:I have an i7 but don't use it for anything an i5 could do just as well. I used to know this kind of stuff, I think, but at this point I have literally no idea what the difference is. I just bought the highest number that was within my budget while I was building my newest computer, is an i7 4790 good
