Hey guys, I'm planning a new custom water cooling build for my streaming/gaming pc and I think I've come up with the whole build, but I can't find a case that I like. Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DCWkBP The build is going to be a black and pink color scheme done primarily by RGB lighting. The case fans are subject to change with the case obviously. Things I want from the case: Mid or Full Tower, Front Panel USB Type C preferred, Side Panel Window (Tempered Glass Prefered). I was considering the Lian Li PC-O11, however it doesn't seem like it has any effective ways to hide the LED strips from sight. I was also looking at the be quiet! Dark Base and maybe painting the orange stripe pink. Any ideas outside of case options are appreciated as well thank you.

I've been wanting a new projector and this looks cool as hell. Either way I still get my 5 internet stars

Spend $20 on some good headphones. Monoprice's overears are great for the price. Keep using the mic from your webcam.

If you're recording or streaming would still highly recommend a decent mic. Blue Snowball is really good for ~$40 US.

I have a few thinkpads that I use regularly. T420 with mint and xfce, x201 with arch, and a T60p with arch (it's old but I still love it <3).

That is not a scam. Even in your scenario because of this quote "and you automatically assume that the cable will be like $30-$60 like a good audio cable does". If you assume something and it's not the case that's your problem. You can be mad that you paid to much and aren't getting what you were expecting. That's your problem. Razer didn't scam you, Razer promised a device that would make their laptop better. The released that product, they never even hinted at a price for it. They could have charged 10,000,000 for it and it wouldn't be a scam. You don't have to buy the core, if you think it's too expensive than don't.

That probably because your tv is gorgeous, not because up-scaling is gorgeous.

I agree. While this is a cool idea, it doesn't seem to have any real benefits and referred to the concession line just makes you look like kind of a dick.

Honestly it would be easier with the budget you have to build 2 separate but awesome gaming rigs.

PS4 is locked at 1080p so technically it couldn't run 60 fps at 1440p

I consider workstation a broader term. Workstations do enable content creation, but I think workstation to include programming and compiling, virtualization, database maintenance, 3D rendering, etc. I guess I should have explained that in my original comment, my apologies.

Average Yokel - Yes. Workstation users - No. Content creators - Yes.

This, before I had a gaming laptop I would take my desktop to college. I would just buckle it in, drive to college, than wheel in a corsair 760T on a skateboard. Good times.

Refurbished components are fine to buy as long as you do your research. It's more about getting information about it rather than doing it or not. Ask these questions when buying a refurbished product. 1) Who refurbished it? If OEM, probably okay. If Jon's Electronic store down the street, probably not. 2) Does it come with any type of warranty? Most refurbs, especially OEM ones will have some kind of warranty, but not many have the 1 year manufacturer warranty like a new device. 3) Is it significantly less expensive than buying it new? This all depends on your budget and what you're willing to spend. For me, I paid $80 US for my 16GB of RAM that was $130 at the time. If it was only $120 I probably would have just bought it new, but the deal was right and it was refurbished by Kingston themselves. I think all in all, buying refurbished things is your choice. Is it a risk? Yes. Is it a bad decision? No, not particularly. Just make sure you do your research before making that decision.
