I thought, "that's pretty cool, passive energy generation" and then I realized it's basically just building a security flaw into your car keys and your wallet.
I was looking for somewhere to ask about Desktops and thought this might be a good place to ask because I'm looking for a solid computer, nothing too futuristic but close enough.
If I'm looking for buy a complete desktop and maaaaaybe install my own graphics card and power supply, would anyone have any recommendations? My price range is roughly somewhere between $1200 and $2000 but I could be flexible given a good deal. I'm not looking for the bleeding edge of tech, but I would like to be able to play Dark Souls 2 when the time comes.
For 1500 you can build a nearly top of the line computer. Buying a pre-built just adds cost. I guess you could look into ibuypower or something similar though for decent pre built pcs on a budget.
The biggest performance jump for your buck beyond a good video card (get a 760 or 770 or something for a good balance of power vs cost) would be a solid state hard drive. Ram is cheap. Buy your processor/motherboard at microcenter in store if you can...they've got some sort of deal with the devil where all their processors are 100 dollars cheaper than everywhere else, and they also bundle motherboards at a discount.
Edit: I just built one for the first time with the help of a friend. It only took a couple hours and was pretty painless. The toughest part is getting your CPU cooling on the processor. Everything else is so modular now.
There's a restaurant out in Chicago called Moto that does high tech food. I've heard of it before and it was part of that exhibit at the museum. They have a printer thing that prints food onto little pieces of edible paper.
So downloading a pizza isn't too far from that. Hell just get a 3d printer, fill it with ingredients, build an oven into it, and bam, computer pizza
Hey man thanks for the advice, I think I'll man up and go with building my own but I'll check out some ibuypower reviews while I'm at it.
Even if you don't want to build it yourself, places like NCIX (at least in Canada) will take the parts you pick and choose and build (and much more importantly, test every component of) your rig for like an extra 50 bucks or so. If your budget is 2k, you should be able to get a seriously beastly rig, given that even 1k-ish will get you a machine that can handle any game on the market on above average graphics settings. Prebuilt boxes like Alienware are overpriced garbage.

Gimme a sec, and I'll draft up some schematics for a dragon fucking the hyper loop while getting an Elvis haircut.
sigh
it would be so magical
sounds like you've been out of the loop
but most experts agree its somewhere between "robots that can deliver pizza" and "downloadable pizzas"
pizza is only one delicious part of the equation!

That store is so dangerous for my wallet.
Well now how about that, I didn't even think about one person using both pieces.
$380 for someone with a wang to be able to fuck themselves in the arse?
Two pages late, but as someone who toys around with synths a lot, that interface actually makes a lot of sense!
yeah 400 bucks is a whole lot of money for being able to giggle every time somebody tells you to go fuck yourself
oh snap
You wouldn't download a pizza
boom pow bazinga
i would man
I totally would
I would download the shit out of a pizza.

That's what I need is intoxication beamed into my brain with a laser
Which, you know, makes standing down the street from a DUI checkpoint with a laser pointer fucking hilarious.
Of it weren't so much money I'd take myself for a spin. Could be a neat experience!
Pretty much. For half the price I'd probably give it a try, see if I liked it.
"Oh god I'm actually terrible at sex!"
Worth every cent in my opinion
