what's your weirdest computer idea?

[VioDuskar]

4 way SLI with the best GPUs at the time and the beefiest CPU  at the time, copper pipes filled with mercury for liquid cooling. three pumps, all the reservoirs that could fit, and like 5 Rads. then stick the whole thing in a mineral oil bath inside a cube that circulates the oil. now that that cube and put it in a larger cube that is refrigerated.

is it weird that I just want to have a modern PC instead of having to build one with hand-me-down used parts from a generation ago?

only new parts I've ever bought were a ATi 9600 XT more than 10 years ago, and a cheap-o case and PSU from Frys a year ago. eevveerrytthiingg else is hand-me-down or used off craigslist and not modern at all

nah man, that's normal. Save up, you'll get there. Props for bargain hunting tho.

A Pc in an old computer grey case with something like a intel i486 base. And than crank the speed up so you can play Wow or something simmilar on it

Maybe a 3dfx voodoo as GPU

I always wanted to make a computer that literally ran off the electricity produced from Hamsters on wheels

 

DON'T LAUGH! Its my DREAM!

A water-cooled gaming laptop with low-key business laptop look.

Uhh...

A shame the dell motherboard died last night...

Google Maps in a car? I mean, it's 2015 why don't we have this yet?

[LegacyStijncat]

A case that has "1,000" written on the side.

[ManWithBeard1990]

A 27 inch laptop with desktop parts and liquid cooling. If I had the money I could actually do it, but I don't.

[MrTiC]

A jarvis based operating system but with a female voice ... i would be forever single haha

[Gaben the Great]

A bed launcher that would place me in front of my PC every morning.

JESUS WTF IS THAT THING

realistically: toaster

It has already been invented. It's called PS3.

How do you make ask the motherboard's work together?

There's a "Daisy chain"type configuration that makes it possible. I think it's referred to as a beowulf cluster.

I once thought about making a 2-axis treadmill using surface full of trackpoints. Its actually not that hard and costs could be cut down substantially. (It would still cost too much and the math would be way too hard for me. 2+1D) Idea came from those balls that are used with VR and they are passive systems that wobble inevitable (jerk). Sensors beneath the surface couldnt differentiate between standing on toes and running so the accuracy is not that big deal, its there just to verify what camera sees. (And ofc resolution and accuracy are preferable, but the major advantage i came up was to eliminate gimbal lock. Like making it possible to apply Kalman filter.)

 

Other one i had was to make a quad copter that could fly even with a broken rotor. I got laughed out, but then this one German guy made one that did just that. "Youve never obviously flied one" Well, who has? Its always flown by wire.

 

BTW I need to add how i made my "calculations". I tried to escape from my wall..ess? (without walls) prison in my mind.

I always wanted a gaming room with all the PCs on the same loop. Similar to whole room water cooling but this before. I wanted massive radiators so it can run passive.

Okay, this Artemis thing sounds amazing. Do all the computers need to be plugged into the same router, or does wireless work? Also, how does it determine what computers are playing? I don't wanna drag my mom into the game...

EDIT: the car idea is PRETTY DAMN AMAZING too.

Artemis is indeed a cool game! So all the PC's will be individual units all connected to a network switch. So the you'd play together is just like how you'd start a game in a LAN party. Since they're all individual PCs people can opt out and play or do something else.
