Even with the lights off, a case that looks like a backyard fusion plant still looks like a backyard fusion plant. Black rectangle supremacy.
They're right. Those games actually run at 40fps. Take that, chuds.
Does one need a hookup of some sort or can anyone easily purchase these?
Nah, you can find stuff like Lenovo Thinkstations on Ebay or other sites all day long. From what I understand, they're typically computers that were leased by some corporate customer and then sold off in big batches for a pittance once the lease was up.
I do not think that is the praise they think it is.
Instead they have faggy rainbow flags everywhere.
I miss Miiverse, it was a great idea and I'm just baffled by Nintendo dropping it. They're cheapskates so the only thing I can assume is it didn't generate profit so it had to go.
That's how you get corporate anything for cheap, with companies selling off their hardware in bulk. That's how I ended up getting a 32" 2K monitor for cheap.
A local security firm flogs wiped HDD's to a charity shop for pennies. £40 for 6TB WD HDD
You know how down bad gaming is when an optical drive on a console is worth celebrating.
Spoken like a faggot. I don't play twitch multiplayer fag shooters and I've had a PC in concurrence with every single console that has come out because I am not poor. When I play the games I like I don't feel like 120 FPS is a necessity, as opposed to 60, which feels light years beyond better than anything below.
Those security HDD are a real deal.
You can also get a 12TB former server HDD fully loaded with emulation of every system from 1970 to 2024 including Switch and PS4, including every damn game image ever released for under $300 from China. KinHank and a couple other places are doing them.
I'm tempted to buy the stock and flog them on Ebay. They sell 2TB for £20. Every three month they get a new block of HDD's in and I know if I strong arm them I could pick up 2x6TB and 10x2TB for £200-£250 (worst case).
And then from there does one need to add/replace hardware components to get the rig up to whatever performance level they want? Is it reasonably simple to do that with these types of machines?
Do those operate reliably and for a decent amount of time? Or is it a huge gamble?
Yeah, it's not fundamentally different than changing parts in any other PC. They tend to come with workstation CPUs and older sockets so you won't be able to swap in the absolute latest hotshot Ryzen CPU or whatever, but it's plenty good enough to run modern games or other software for years to come.
You'll never get autists to understand this. In the digital audio world, we've long since surpassed the innate abilities of the human ear, but there are armies of spergs out there who are absolutely convinced they can hear the difference with gold-plated cables and 192khz sample rates and all sorts of other audio snake oil.
