            Seriously, good luck finding one without a jagged metal edge waiting in eager anticipation for your supple flesh.

              I feel like you people are doing something incredibly wrong. I’ve built and fuddeled with several computers over the years now and never once cut myself on one.

              Plumbing or automotive work? Scrape my knuckles every time. Never with a computer.

      I wanted to write: No better time to get started than now!

      But looking at the RAM prices which are about to jump over to GPUs, maybe wait till after the AI bubble bursts.

          I saw that yesterday. I tried to explain to my wife how absurd it is that the same 64GB RAM kit I bought a few months ago for $210 is currently over $760.

            Yeah it’s mental. I’ve been thinking about building a dedicated gaming rig to play older multiplayer stuff via steam stream since my proxmox box has an older Xeon chip, but I’ll be damned at these prices.
