constructing your own pc from elections and transistors is one of the most glorious undertakings a human, any animal for that matter, can undertake: undertaking this undertaking requires a modicum of skill and the social awareness of a blind rat but the end result is something that brings more
joy than a ceaser salad on a
hot summers day

diy computes are much better when you put them inside an fpga instead of build them out of ancient logic chips

i haven't needed to build a pc in like, 6 years seeing as intel hasn't produced anything worth upgrading to since the core i5 2500k or whatever

i mean i think i have been through 3 graphics cards in that time but that doesn't count
