The main issue with prebuilt PC's that I noticed was that they tend to have lousy PSU's with weirdo custom connections etc. That's mainly what led me to start hunting NewEgg for a bundle of parts.

Was wondering why this topic was getting a lot of posts, didn't think it'd get more than 40 posts, tbqh. First page is a grave yard O_O
Angry Joe is a cool guy

I mean it's just necessary at some point. Some months ago I got seriously annoyed how every single thread about a TotalBiscuit video had a lot of early comments basically just shitting on him, disregarding the content entirely.
No proper discussion ever managed to follow from these initial derails.

I dont know why but the case doesn't look ugly just...interesting to say the least, It may be a pod of a real Alien baby 
The hardware itself is a beast and I wonder that is the retail price for all that and what is the weight...

HOLY COW. The bannings, what happened on the first couple of pages?! To be honest none of the comments personally insulted the man.

It still amazes me what people can achieve by operating a youtube channel.
You know? I kinda like that case, and that's not just because of the parts inside of it.

People need to show how much they don't care by posting that they don't care. Why or the logic behind that? No one knows.

Mhh, but this happens in a ton of threads. Specially Girl-Age, but I agree its unsupportive, and I guess you can't dish out warnings or block people from specific threads, you can only issue a ban... The system I guess.

it's mineral oil so no fish ^^
Is this for real? I mean... wat

Fish or no fish, that's still fucking cool.

It's just as well a mod never looked at that DSP thread then.
That aside, it is amazing the anger and frustration a prebuilt PC tends to generate here. Instant drive bys regardless of the context, odd cost inflation... Really what difference does it make as long as someone's getting a gaming PC and supporting your hobby regardless?
The oil keeps the components pretty cool actually afaik
So yeah, it's real. Changing components must be a pretty big pain in the ass though.

Wow. I like this tbh
it's mineral oil so no fish ^^
Are they the first people to try that?
I admit, I don't much about mineral oil, but are those parts (mobo with exposed chips, cpu, etc) actually submerged inside the oil? If so, how'd they know it wouldn't damage the hardware? Or is it sealed (can't tell from the pic) ?
If they're not submerged, ignore this lol

Mineral oil isn't conductive so it won't short out your parts. You have to be worried about rubber components, as that can be dissolved by oil.

But can it run Cyrsis?
I really don't understand the incredible amount of hate Angry Joe gets. Now I'll admit that I stopped watching his stuff a while back, but he always seemed to be looking at the right things to criticize in a game. Sure, he wasn't always on poimt, but he tries to give everything a fair shake.
Anyway, I'll get more on the topic. That PC is pretty damn good for a prebuilt, bit that tower is probably the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Nothing is "beautiful" about that monstrosity.

Jeebus. That's some mighty expensive piece of hardware right there. I guess in his defense, it's his job that he is investing in.
How long do you guys think this rig would hold for before becoming obsolete?

just the first small picture I found on google search that had some stuff in it to make it more fish tank like ^^
and the thing is completely submerged in mineral oil
from what I understand mineral oil doesn't conduct electricity so it has no effect on any of the hardware (although you have to remove any rubber apparently)
here is part 3 of linus doing a mineral oil build, it's the part where they actually pour in the oil

part 4 is a q&a thing where they explain it in a bit more detail

What the hell are you going to do with 32 gigs of ram and more so, a 1,5kW psu? Do the GPUs eat like 600W each?

That's Joe in a nutshell. Well said.
They do. Planning to pick this one up when I get a new table.
My buddy just got that case (I'm coming down to NYC next week to help him build his new PC) and he pulled out the grating and had it painted red.
He sent me a shot of it next to his receiver and speakers and such, and it fits right in!

Sorry for late reply. It's a full sized tower (so quite big). I'm 5'11 and standing on the floor it comes up to just below my hips (groin area).
Comes with 4 inbuilt fans (2 on front and 2 in the back), has a tool-less design (for most of it) and has heaps of room for anything you wanna stick in there e.g. 10 hdds, full sized motherboards, liquid cooling etc. Anything you can think of it will fit lol.
I bought it for the looks though haha.
The most likely answer i think

People have been doing this for a couple of years now. Still seems like it would be a bitch to upgrade anything, and that you would just have to do a full system build instead each time.

Overkill but it is the first major step to prevent people from messing up with overclocks.

That's a great looking build, I'm partial to designs where you build directly into the desk.
