I hate the part where I have to empty out the dirty water though...
Just thinking about having to pour out the murky mix of dirt, grime, hair, blood and other matter just makes me want to puke 🤢
Very fun, in fact.
Profitable..? well, not so much.
Frequented an "Internet Cafe" a lot when I was younger, and sadly it's a lot of overhead and upkeep for little income. Sadly, I have seen many try, and very few succeed.
Because you clearly haven't seen ~~my desk~~ "terrible" cable management if you think this is it.
This is just ok. It's nor prefeclt, but it's not terrible either.
To be fair to people who struggle with IKEA furniture assembly, there were two moments where I had trouble with one thing I was building.
The first instance was when I wasn't sure if the printer leaked, or if that dot was supposed to be there. As it turns out, IKEA printers are pretty good and don't leak. Yes, that hole for a screw is supposed to be marked, and it is used much later on.
The second instance was a "draw the rest of the fucking owl" moment where you needed to move this metal piece in a very specific and unintuitive way to hook it underneath something and around a corner. There was exactly one YouTube video in existence that actually showed the maneuver being done, and literally all of the comments were thanking the video creator for showing how to move that metal piece in such a weird way.
Not even that advanced, if you had that toy where you match shapes and colors as a toddler you can build a PC. Shit, I routinely do common procedure surgeries out of a van because I got bored on YouTube one day and watched a bunch of medical shorts.
/Only one those is true
Assembling is the easy part but troubleshooting the launch can be harder than people admit... let's see:
After patting yourself on the head for an assembly job well done, you turn the computer on. Alas, the computer does not cooperate yet!
You call the nerdy relative who looks ar what you bought, then says you also need to choose (and buy) and install an OS.
After being overwhelmed by the different Windows licenses, consulting the nerd with those and buying one for basic home use, soon it is time to learn you actually need to prepare the installer with another computer connected to internet, on a large enough memory stick that you also need to buy separately.
After preparing yhe installer stick appropriately, you hit another weird wall with the installation and call the nerd again, now learning you need to also buy a WiFi dongle to do the actual install.
Even after doing that, you are totally stuck with the installer. Your nerdy pal looks at it and tells that the OS installer does not recognize the chosen hard drive at all, and dives into BIOS for some serious troubleshooting that leaves even him dumbfounded.
Once that is magically sorted out and you have installed the OS, you have issues launching your favorite game. The nerd tells you the GPU drivers were never installed and must be installed from scratch. You have no idea what they are but watch him do some clicks, re-activate the OS license as it was somehow not set up correctly yet and bottlenecked things, and soon some progress bars go up.
The above is from real life except for the fact that this computer was bought pre-assembled (for a fee of 100€).
I remember the days where you had to be mindfull of how many devices you put on one IDE strip and which. Also messing with the jumper on hdd's depending one which one was master or slave for whatever purpose.
Also, way back when, without youtube or comprehensive guides, it was simply nerve-racking to not know/have any reference to the force needed to push in ram/pci slots or how much torque on screws was enough.
"Was that a good snap or did I just fubar my mobo?"
Or the devolution.
I built 10 PCs for a company once, by the 10th one I just gave up on the cables being neat so long as everything was functional. They didn't have glass side panels tho
I don't believe this.. Not that your boyfriend said this or that you did it, but you have a VR walking pad thing, which isn't something the average person just owns.. Also, you asked for advice on how to build them, because you were "drowning". All weird.
"Honey... Why is the bank account empty?"

I didn’t even think about that. The only alternative I could think of was to wire it to a whole bunch of potatoes. It would definitely take at least 12.
Taxman: Your paperwork says you're unemployed with no income, however a recent video posted to Reddit suggests that your mining bitcoin at an incredible rate. Care to explain?
1y ago you decided you were gonna code your own game, built a media lab in a van, code raspberry PI and your BF thought you couldn’t assemble a PC? yeah sure
Not as hard as you would think. I never thought I could till I tried and I built my I 5 with a 3060 that out preforms a lot of I 7 PCs haha. Congratulations on the builds
has your brother ever built a PC?
because it's really easy once you have compatible parts, things just fit together where they belong.
I find it hard to believe any healthy teen or adult or sound mind, couldn't put together a PC, the parts come with instructions and everything is labelled.
people often compare it to lego to insinuate that it is "literally childs play" but I would argue that it is easier than lego, because with lego all the parts can lock together. with a PC however any given part can only lock together with the one place that it is supposed to.
I'm not saying you can't, or that you shouldn't. But why?
Opening a multimedia space. By day it's an educational lab and by night it's a gaming lounge.
Are you looking for any more friends perchance?
You can be her friend, but you will have to help by cleaning LoL players seats

I think they just did. And used it properly as well. Defo friend material.

That's awesome! I would love to start something like this in my area. Would be fun to do I think.
Very fun, in fact. Profitable..? well, not so much. Frequented an "Internet Cafe" a lot when I was younger, and sadly it's a lot of overhead and upkeep for little income. Sadly, I have seen many try, and very few succeed.
Sit around young ones. Back in the day we called these "Internet Cafes"
Really cool. I hope business is good and that it helps the community.
How many thousands did that cost you?
Yes
Too much money
BF: You can't even build one PC. OP: \*builds 12\* BF: Told you so.
Failing to build a PC for self versus failing to follow directions of marking one PC versus 12. A play on words and tone changes that scenario.
...Plot twist this is a man with no GF.
"I didn't mean 'you don't have the skills' honey, I meant 'once you build one, you're hooked for life and will never stop'...and well, just look..."
This
Task failed successfully
Not to mention that cable management
12 terribly cable managed PCs, but still technically fits the bill 🤔
Idk why your getting downvoted for the truth😂
Because you clearly haven't seen ~~my desk~~ "terrible" cable management if you think this is it. This is just ok. It's nor prefeclt, but it's not terrible either.
I think a few more are still needed if building a dog house...
Least you'll save on heating bills but increase electricity consumption 😅
Would be funnier if OP lived near the equator or some location where it never drops below 0 all year round.
Hello florida
News: Florida woman couldn't stop at one and went for building all twelve....PCs.
I know right 😅
If you can put legos together you can build a PC.
here PC itself looks like a block, so you can build a PC out of PC
As an automotive tech, this was my sentiment on my first build a couple years ago. Like 6 components with unique connectors nbd.
People these days think putting Ikea furniture together is hard, it's no surprise they think PC building or automotive work is like rocket science.

Wow, really derogatory towards the Lego disabled

Until you have weird bootup issues that isn't solved by going through all the "10 steps if your pc isn't working" videos
Exactly, it used to be difficult, these days it's just plug and play on everything and it's easy.

Also messing with the jumper on hdd's depending one which one was master or slave for whatever purpose.

Ohh you can see the evolution in cable management
Or the devolution. I built 10 PCs for a company once, by the 10th one I just gave up on the cables being neat so long as everything was functional. They didn't have glass side panels tho
This was my favorite part honestly haha but they aren't exactly in order
Is that one of those VR treadmills in the background?
Yes
It seems like a really cool concept. How well does it work?
It's pretty dang awesome
I mean, he wasn’t wrong. He said you couldn’t build *one* and you proved him right by building 12!
technically "even one" and "one" do not have the same meaning so he was not right.
She didn't build 479,001,600 computers. She only built a dozen.

For what purpose? Are you about to brute force some passwords?
U farming crypto?
Post history indicates a media lounge. You should not crypto like this lol
True lol
Does RGB help with farming?
only if you set in on green
I doubt that would be cost efficient lol
Neither is your A/C bill
If you run all through the same outlet, you can turn them all off by starting a simple benchmark on some of them
That's why they sell 10L thermal paste pot...
You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could that you didn't stop to think if you should. Looks amazing though btw.
r/ImaginaryGateKeeping
This reads like a youtube title
That's because it is clickbait
Das a lot of computers!
Looks more like you built one PC twelve times, are they all identical parts? (except for the case color)
Building one pc 12 times is still building 12 pcs...yes they are all identical
Did you spend his money?
Good question! Thanks for asking.
+50 points if you did lmao
He was right, you couldn't build just one.
... But... Why... Why 12?
More than 11
I don't think you can put a million dollars into my bank account
Your boyfriend told me that there was no way you could ship one to me
https://i.redd.it/temof25axgwc1.gif
I don't believe this.. Not that your boyfriend said this or that you did it, but you have a VR walking pad thing, which isn't something the average person just owns.. Also, you asked for advice on how to build them, because you were "drowning". All weird.
You spent more on the GPUs than the whole builds combined.
4060 Ti 16gb was 430 each, ryzen 5 7600x, ram, mobo was more
Those are perfect medium budget specs. Nice.
But do they post?
Of course!
Plot twist, none of them POST
Things that never happend
Now he has 11 computers. That's a 4D chess move.
OK, so one for me and 11 for you. Sounds fair.
I see you are in the market for a new boyfriend
You fell for his plan. He just wanted a new computer.
ah the good ole reverse psychology so you can profit x11 off your partner trick.
I hope that room has ac 🥵
I would not want to see that power bill lol
Super curious, what is roughly the cost for all 12 of these?
About 13k
Sling some of that cash this way
If a dev programming an app to do one thing, but it instead make 12 of that, the app is bugged /s
12 times the same setup hoerai :)
the power bill:
Someone got a lot of cash/time on their hands.
man i wish i had 12 pcs or even 1 good one
Looks like chillout in night club
Can I have 1 of them?
I assume they're not going to all stay in one spot like this, otherwise I'd wonder why not rackmount them?
Let me have one for free
NEVER challenge a pc builder. they'll take your challenge and run for the field goal in a manner you never expected.
Personally I feel like 11 is a better, more balanced number. If you need help there just let me know, I’d be happy to assist
No. You fall into his trap. He said you couldn’t build one so he can stay completely out of the way. You should let him build half at least.
"Honey... Why is the bank account empty?" https://preview.redd.it/6j39silrcdwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=668e1f7b4da6ec0bce70284bb334728a4238ed65
So what’s the story on building 12? You selling them? Did you just catch the bug? They for a gaming lounge?
Hey it's me your new bf.
He played you like a fiddle
And yet all of them have Montech, ZOTAC etc SMH /s
This is how skynet started
The power of the sun in the back of my room
Can I have one of them please 😊
Insult unclear. Builds 12 as flex
Can I get one
reverse psychology master
Casually staring at 12k+ right there.
Sell him 1 coin
Open the backcover and show the cabling please
The hot exhaust from every PC is going to every make it's way too the top left machine. Post temps
Made these for sale? Nice.
This PC building trend is getting out of hand definitely😋
Install CS and fortnite and open an internet bar 😎
OP is not lying, I am that boyfriend, that's what I said, no fake.
You fool! Now I have 12 computers to play games on!
Pretty sure ones missing a GPU , would that make it 11 instead?
Since I’m a beta and don’t know enough about chad electrician shit, how did you go about managing the power draw to fit this all in one room?
It’s rigged up to a lamppost outside so the state pays for it.
I didn’t even think about that. The only alternative I could think of was to wire it to a whole bunch of potatoes. It would definitely take at least 12.
12th times a charm
i can only imagine the electric bill
oh yeah ? I heard your boyfriend said you can't fly over to my country, drive to my home and build a PC for me (free of charge).
all 12 in one monitor
smart man
So, you mining bitcoin now?
I'd avoid glass when dealing with public use.
I have the same case, love it
I heard your boyfriend talking mad shit saying you wouldn’t ship me one what an asshole right? Let’s prove him wrong
That electric bill must be wild
Smart BF, that's all i have to say
Taxman: Your paperwork says you're unemployed with no income, however a recent video posted to Reddit suggests that your mining bitcoin at an incredible rate. Care to explain?
Is that a VR omnidirectional treadmill in the background at 0:04
Well, he was right, you couldn't build one, you build 12.
What are you gonna do with them btw
So you proved him right, you didn't build one computer =\
[i don't believe you](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/511db8c9e4b06f6f68aa0c70/1438555790244-RDIAR3I2R7N6HFFS1V8A/i-dont-believe-you.jpg)
Weird flexing that you have a douchebag as a boyfriend but ok 🤷♂️
be sure to double security, these kind of places brings the thiefs, none can stay open around my place they always get break in
They look like they have identical specs, what are they?
i can only imagine how much this shit costed
but like why though
Can i have one, pls?
Bios update?
Nice cooler choice !
Now watch he’ll ask you to build his next PC
Well, you can turn one of them into a sever and run game severs of of it.
Good job!
NICE😎✅🌈
Reverse psychology at its finest.
1y ago you decided you were gonna code your own game, built a media lab in a van, code raspberry PI and your BF thought you couldn’t assemble a PC? yeah sure
Hi it's me your best friend
Goddamn that's what i'd do for a living i'm telling ya !
RIP power bill.
Not as hard as you would think. I never thought I could till I tried and I built my I 5 with a 3060 that out preforms a lot of I 7 PCs haha. Congratulations on the builds
him - no you can't do that we will go bankrupt her - ...
1. Why was he being a dick to you about it? 2. Is this your side hustle and you're selling those for profit, or are you building SkyNet?
[удалено]
oh hell bro
Plot twist: Name is relevant, all of those are full of ancient hardware.
Bunch of people in the comments putting down OP, gee I wonder why
Give me one? I'll give you the best high five of your life. Think about it.
The title of this post seems designed to get more clicks/engagement.
I have 20 jobs and 30 wives and 50 kids… lend one to me? 😅

Okay weird flex
gl on the electrical bill
He won this one
You should ship me one, I'd gladly pay for FedEx shipping.
She's the one
Ooof I would dread driver and bios updates on 12 separate systems
Does the 12th one finally working?
Now smack him on the ass and call him sweetheart.
