    TheDarkRodent still thinks the disk drive tray is a coffee holder, and he's very jealous of anyone who knows about computers.

    Originally posted by Grimace In the desktop arena, I personally cannot recommend buying a prebuilt gaming computer. IBuyPower, CyberPowerPC, and all of those other prebuilt systems are essentially junk. They use bottom tier motherboards, bottom tier RAM, bottom tier NVME, bottom tier liquid or air cooler, and only go mid-range on the CPU and GPU. Case is custom made in house, costs them pennies on the dollar and is usually shit.

    So I admit I bought a box from CyberPower recently and have been pretty happy with it. First time I've ever done it, always operated by the principle that real men assemble their own computers and having someone else do it is a sign of moral weakness. But this one was a work machine and I didn't want to expense each part separately, and didn't want to spend the time doing the assembly, so figured since I was spending someone else's money then let's just do it. I did the deal where you pick the parts and they assemble, for each piece they did have a "mystery meat whatever's cheap and in stock" option, but you could pick specific brands/models, usually at some (fairly reasonable) upcharge.

    I mean yes, you do pay for the service and your selection of parts is more limited, I'm sure you're paying some markup and you just generally have fewer options to control price. It's not optimal in terms of what you pay to get a working machine. But now that I'm not a broke student trying to cobble together something to play crysis in my dorm room I kinda appreciate trading cash for less research/assembly time/stress

    It is. Millions of people still use it, including businesses. That makes them viable (although I don't think you really even know what viable means).

    Technicality you are correct. About 5.5 million out of 1.4 billion PC on the market are running XP.

    According to StatCounter, as of March 2024, 0.39% of desktops are still running Windows XP. Let’s do a little math. Microsoft claims there are 1.4 billion Windows PCs in the world, so that means we still have not quite 5.5 million XP computers up and running somewhere.

    It's way more than that. More like 200 million. Microsoft can't even tie their own shoelaces, much less count operating systems.

    You disparage Microsoft and yet still cling desperately to one of their least secure environments ever.
