@pheonix It was a little surprising to me how industry absolutely swallowed the consumer market for hardware. There is definitely an ongoing war on personal computers (that you actually own) and the availability of reliable components feels like a tool in that war. I say buy and build before some other world event makes it worse/impossible to do.

@daniel in their ideal world, maybe they envision us all RDPing into theif stupid cloud to do everything utilizing just a simple chromebook like end terminal. I don't know what sane person would agree to that. Personal computers need to stay in the consumer market. It's so vital.
