    Try Arma 3 a lot better than 2 as far as gameplay. As far as How missions work, still perplexing.

    joe.blair reacted to Trav_X in Are Mac computers really that bad?   
    People dog them so much, but what do you guys really think?
     
    Personally OSX, especially Capitan and the newer versions, are a pleasure to use, although I still love the Windows 10 experience and the like. The only drawback in my opinion is lack of support on certain programs from the Internet, stuff like Dolphin Emulator, many certain Steam games, and those kinda things (not even sure if Dolphin is supported, just using as an example). 
     
    I think the aesthetics are great. If the newest MacBook actually had some vents, I would consider getting it and BootCamping it and using as a daily driver (however my mileage may vary ). But the design just has drawbacks, and I don't like spending a crap ton on adapters. 
     
    What do you guys honestly think about Mac computers (excluding the Mac Pro). I know this has probably been a thread before, but what actually do you guys think?

    Rfactor...maybe?
     
    Assetto Corsa...Maybe?
     
    The thing is you are looking at scripting work. Any these games are designed to be modded to add extra content...Cars tracks ect not really designed for scripting mods.

    Thanks for your advice, all.
     
    The tubing may be shielded by some glass panels (like a picture frame) so I'm not too worried about puncturing. And in response to airdeano's comment about how Aurora is just for show systems, this is going to be exclusively for show.
     
    I love the LF Reaction Dual Bay Reservoir Trey222 recommended, however I'll be hiding the res in a little cabinet I'll build, so maybe using something more like this?
     
    Does anyone have recommendations for quiet powerful pumps I could run in series which are rated for continuous operation?

    probably any piece of hardware youd leave out in the rain in a state of sleep or simply shut off would start like nothing happened if you take the time  to rice-dry it  before

    To not include laptops makes no sense to me. I would have three alternate PCs if laptops were included, one of which has a core i7.
     
    Functions:
    0- Home pc, gaming, youtube
    1- Living room pc, gaming, media, emulators
    2- Personal laptop
    3- Work PC (Laptop)
