    Well, for starters, if you build it you can have whatever aesthetic you want.

    That’s kinda the point, I can’t really have any aesthetic I want. Unless I CNC my own case, I’m limited to what case manufacturers sell, which, in my opinion, is mostly bland boxes. or even worse, some sort of an LED aquarium that the components have to live in.

    Depending on your performance target, some RTX3050 cards will run entirely off of the 75W provided through the PCI slot. They’ll also have “office PCs” with graphics cards in them, meaning they’re technically fit for playing games even though they’re bot marketed as such.

    The thing is I’m not really set on any performance target yet. It might seem like I want to have my cake and eat it too, and I probably do, but I just want to know that I could put whatever I want into the case and not be limited by some proprietary standard.


  • Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I’ve never looked at Silverstone, but most of their designs are not half bad.

    Also, having the side panel off is the coolest thing you could have in a case. Reminds me of my childhood when my much older brother and my much much older father, both of whom were computer engineers at the time, were constantly tinkering with the home computer so the side panel was always off :D




  • There is one named neonmodem overdrive but it is buggy.

    It really is buggy, iirc I couldn’t even get it to run properly.

    It also support discourse forums any plan for this?

    I really don’t have any plans (or even a name) for the app, as I’ve just started playing around with pythorhead yesterday. I just hoped posting a prototype or a proof of concept might spark a discussion and maybe inspire someone much more competent than me.








  • Do we really need excuses for pirating media?

    I pirate movies because I think digital access to them is overpriced, goes to the copyright holder instead of the creators, it’s convenient and most importantly because I can.

    I can’t pirate going to the cinema, nor can I afford to build my own, therefore I gladly pay to have a seat and enjoy a movie there.

    Edit: I thought this may be relevant to the movies example I gave. I don’t think movie studios, giving nothing back to society after massive profits are the ones we should debate the morals of stealing with.
