I'm the kind that used their PC as a heat provider during winter.

i just use my 8yr old pc with the i5 and gtx 970. it keeps crashing but i just ignore it and it still works so whatever
my peripherals are mostly free handmedowns except for my g502
I was the bottom, but finally going to be the top this week! Just purchased everything to build my first new one since 2016. The 2016 one was me buying decent stuff but mostly mid range. This time I feel like I went mostly top tier outside some things (although some stuff says mid range which I don't get). Although I still don't care how the pc looks, I am one of the few that hates RGB and purchased everything I could without it. I took it so far that I got myself Noctua fans. Yes, I really don't care that my pc will look brown beige inside, at least I know it will be quiet and cool which is all that really should matter!
I'm the one that can't afford to build any PC 😭
Scrounge for parts and build a low spec junker PC. It honestly sounds fun.
I bought a replacement cover for my case. No window. Cable management can suck my dick.
I specifically required a case with no windows on my last build. I don't need to see it, I just need it to work. Plus, I was too cheap to pay for for the same fan in black when the brown works just fine, so it was gonna be kind of ugly in the guts no matter what.
I once put a huge room fan on my computer when the CPU fan died. It worked! I'm much more extreme than that second panel.
Bottom panel all the way. Expensive stuff dies/burns out at the same rate as cheap stuff, so you might as well go with the cheap stuff. The best way to pc game is on a budget custom build.
I am perfectly in the middle.
both
My pc looks like the first one (clear panel, same LED colors) but I most certainly feel like the second one with my rattling case fan that I never bothered to fix
Depends, if it's all new stuff I'm the first one. If I'm swapping things out or cobbling something together from scraps it's the second one.
I absolutely love both types. That's why I'm somewhere in between.
I do not deserve the one on the top. I brick my software on a monthly basis
What about sffpc?
Definitely the bottom one. I have a totally black PC case and one of the case fans has a power cable that's extended using 2 taped together GPIO cables from my raspberry pi kit. There's also a hard drive in there that hasn't been working for 1 year at least
I drilled a hole in the wall and my PC is the nightlight of the kitchen. No noise.
I want to say the first, but it's the second
I'm about to build my first PC, and I'm planning to be in the middle.
I don't need all the fancy shit I just want to build something (without RGB bullshit) that will last me a long time and run linux flawlessly (so AMD everything?).
I know there are sites that will help with parts/linux compatability but I lost all my bookmarks last week, and I haven't been able to find it again yet.
If anyone has advice for me or knows that site, I'm all eyes! (Would be "all ears" but this is text lol).
The site I always use to check compatibility and power draw when building is pcpartpicker.
Can't speak for Linux though
Most people build budget or best bang for their buck builds
