  1. Oh man, I didn't know PC parts picker had cases on their website Ill check out more cases there. Thing is, more recently cause I've been traveling more I've been buying parts in stores if I ever need them... Also I just prefer going to buy anything in store instead of buying online, my roommate actually forces me to buy groceries online for some reason. I guess that's just me being picky, but thank you for showing me this man!
  2. More recently I've noticed PC cases are offering less for more, I mean I haven't bought a case since 2014 but I saw more "features" with cases from that era. I picked up my LEPA LPC 501 Case for $50ish USD but if I where to get another case from that price range Id be missing out on Drive bays, a glass/plastic side panel or very little fans. I'm not sure if this is when I'm supposed to say "call me oldschool but", To be honest I hate cases with restricting airflow to the front fans (or I just hate the look) with a plastic front cover, I miss hard drive cages,water cooling line holes that lead outside of the case and mainly 5.25 drivebays. There are alot of neat things you could put in a drive bay like Watercooling reservoir, Watercooling pump, Speakers, fan controllers, Volume meter, hot swapable drive bay, headphone holders even just storage. I guess I should have expected this to happen as physical media is becoming a legacy technology. I guess for my next build Ill just modify a NZXT build to have visible front fans and retrofit a 5.25 drive bay or just build a case haha.

  4. I was able to use photoshop on a salvaged build that I made for 80$ the specs where not great Old build: single core amd cpu 1.8 ghz 4 GB DDR2 ram XFX GTS 250 I was able to run Photoshop CS5 and Flash CS5 fine (up to a point), not sure why it stutters. I never had problems when i used CC either, Im not sure what to tell you other than what you where going to do.
  5. When I was a freshman(now a junior), I planned to build a gaming pc but alas life happens and I lost my wallet and I had to do drivers ed. Well I built that PC but I didn't get a new graphics card, I had to use the one from my 80$ USD salvage build. I'm planning to buy a decent 4GB graphics card under $250 USD (or $275 USD). I lean toward Nvidia cause of the past I had with their GPUs. TL;DR It's hard for me to get money cause I'm in school and I need help choosing out a GPU cause of how indecisive I am. I've already made a list of graphics cards i can get locally here, any suggestions will be helpful.
