I personally don't see it as "flashy cars" vs sleepers but more like doing something cool, unique and worthwhile with the equipment you buy vs just blowing money on expensive parts and calling it a day. But I understand your point of view as well...you just want power but don't want to tinker. Luckily I have completely outgrown my "moar powah" PC phase, but while I was building shit I build dozens of PCs, all of which were unique in some way and different than what you could buy off the shelf. I shared a lot of this stuff on VGchartz back in the day... For example, my first true watercooling PC build - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=130806&page=1 I built 2 more after for other people that turned out a lot better. Or the racing setup I built 100% myself using PVC pipes - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=117347 It turned out 10X better than Playseat you could buy at the time
Today if I wasn't so busy I'd probably build a fully watercooled mATX build that has SLI Titan Blacks, x99 platform (when it comes out) in the smallest chasis humanly possible. Now that would be a fun challenge... |
to point something out, those four 780ti's are what i put in my wifes pc yesterday.
my main pc is running something a little... faster ;)
