I got a used computer case in a second hand hardware store and it still has the sticker with the specs of the computer they wanted to sell it with on it. It was going to be a moderate to shity pc. I built an absolute computing monster in it (i7 6900k, 32GB ram, 23TB storage). I like having visitors over and telling them this is the primary computer I use to do my high particle count fluid simulations and little bigdata projects with.

    I ran my low particle fluid approximation simulation in a laptop that didn't have hinges. I couldn't afford a better machine, but it did have an i5 and cost about $100.

    @starless I get paid for my simulations so it almost pays for itself. Otherwise i couldn't afford such a computer either.

    @jobylie gosh, that is so cool. How did you get into that?

    @starless i had an internship where they wanted me to simulate a realistic waterfall for a project (some cgi thing) and I stayed in contact with the customer

    Sorry to be off-topic but holy shit does anybody else get the lower left part of the image disappearing very briefly when scrolling?
    I assume it's some sort of optimization, perhaps lowering the graphic to 16-bit while scrolling or something, but I never noticed anything like that before on my phone.

    @Bikonja *scrolling up and down in pure amazement* yes. That is now a word.
