Still no motherboard

I don’t suppose anyone has 2x ASUS Dark Heroes lying around?

Not sure if i could fit my graphics card in that TBH

Oh and there is a difference between need & want

Absolutely there is! You could have a boring case or a Halo Jones custom special. I know which I'd rather have.

You do realise there is no need for a giant PC like that now? Was a thing 10 years ago, but now a PC need be no bigger than this

I did say it’s a bit OTT

Currently working on the LCD screen to go in the case to display temperature stats and the like

Bah, motherboard now has an eta of 02.03.21

Staring at the empty case has made me notice that the top and front dust mesh is black... time to order some stainless steel 120 mesh & magnetic tape

Yeah, and if when it's an imminent nuclear Armageddon, then how would you play your Tetris, with just 32 Gbits of RAM?

If you're working in the cloud you need very little memory but a very good network, in fact a thin client is sufficient

That's amazing!

How do you do it with just 32 Gigabits of RAM?

I have the same for cloud work but with 32Gb, unusual to need so much with wsl2 or Linux. I'm quite comfortably running Kubernetes with 30 pods & development tools.

Holy carp! A PC? That looks more like a cathedral organ!

That's not a PC case. It's the Palace of Versailles!

Just got 64GB for my brand new Dell XPS15. Slightly weird as we are cloud based. But developing the code that sits in the cloud takes quite a few resources.

Suck it up losers.....
