I feel like a lot of you are using knowledge of "how to build a computer from scratch in 2001" and are reminiscing about zipzoomfly and tigerdirect and then panicking because you forgot arctic silver and need to run to CompUSA or Fry's to finish your build.
naw you're having trouble breaking out of your own lifestyle and perceiving the general case
Nope.
I build, on average, 20 computers a year.
I'd say the other cases are edge and outliers.

I don't really see VR taking off because of how closed off it makes you and how goofy it is. I especially don't see the room-scale stuff taking off because of how it asks you to blindly walk around a room you can't see. But who knows.

My last pc, the compact VR build with a 980Ti in it, included a closed loop cooling system installed in a space scarcely large enough to contain the radiator alone. It's impossible to service in under 3 hours. If it has any problem, I'm just putting the whole thing in the trash.

Let me assure you: you are human, which means you are terrible. Your feelings of inadequacy are entirely deserved.
You aren't adequate enough to tell me that!
Pfft, any dim-witted nincompoop can see that humanity is loathsome, people are stupid both as individuals and in groups, and anybody who believes themselves to have worth is suffering from delusions, possibly a form of psychosis.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
the front panel connectors are a weirdly antiquated standard. You'd think by now some MB manufacturer would have some sort of quick-connect plug carrying all those wires, with an adapter to the standard pin header for cases without the plug.
yeah that's what ends up happening (and what I've had on my last two PCs) but I want them to take it a step further.
Replace the pin header on the mobo with an actual socket, give the standard out to all the case manufacturers, provide a little socket->pin header adapter.
Meh, the Q connector itself is fine. I only ever hook up power & reset anyway (and these days reset is getting pointless, can't remember when I used it last). I dislike having the lights so I keep them disconnected

I volunteered at a 60k (like a marathon and a half) once and one guy ran it in linen shorts, a dress shirt with rolled up sleeves, and flip flops and he did sub-8:30 miles straight through.
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown,
And things seem hard or tough,
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite eno-o-o-o-o-ough,
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars;
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side;
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point,
We go 'round every two hundred million years;
And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
There's a new senior employee in my department and he keeps getting my name wrong.
Fine, whatever. Except that he keeps getting my name mixed up with a certain other employee who is particularly useless. Every time he does it, I feel like he is directly insulting me.

I think tea does not make you poop even if it has as much caffeine as the coffee.
..huh, I wonder if that's true.
Nope.

It assumes that your feelings of inadequacy are undeserved.
