@ticky I used to be like that, and then I went fuck it and bought a smol alienware So far none of it has caught on fire, no regrets (I guess you want to plug in your HDDs tho)
@ticky@syka On the plus side they have a console-size mini-ITX case, which seems basically perfect for my usecase of "I just want to play games on my TV"
@ticky@dog I have many opinions on parts they're usually "if it comes overclocked out of the box, you're in for a real bad time" and "don't buy 2133MHz RAM when your CPU will downclock it to 1666MHz" and also "I will frown if there is any references to cr1tik4l or whatever on the box"
@ticky@syka I'll probably do a more thorough comparison once I've settled on parts, but basically all I care about at this point is "what SSD is decently fast and won't die young"

@ticky @dog conventional wisdom is "none but Intel are the least bad" last time I checked. I don't even trust the one in my Mac
