What computer part do you find most interesting?

HoiDaniel

Current one is the Corsair 750D, next one will be the CaseLabs Magnum M8A

 

This is it, but I will have the extended roof, mesh front bays and a few other options different.

900D wasn't big enough? xD

Yes. Right now the loop is fairly simple, but I'm planning my next build in a CaseLabs Magnum M8A using rigid tubing. 

 

My current loop:

Ooh, swegerino!

I'll never say that again.

 

To be honest, they're all equally interesting to me.

CPUs are interesting to me because they're the brain of the computer. PSUs are interesting as they're the heart. Motherboards are interesting as they're the spinal column. Storage is important as it's the long-term memory, and RAM is the short-term memory. Cooling solutions, the hypothalamus. The case is the skin.

 

It'd be impossible for me to pick out a specific one.

Eh, the 900D is big, but it's so common and it's hard to make it look full. The M8A has loads of room, but more of it is usable for rad space and there's more options for tubing routing.

Well.. whatever floats your boat :D Make sure to post your build when you're done!

Oh, I will. It will probably involve some modding and custom designs. I plan on doing a build log, like I did with my current one. Not sure if I'll update it as I go, or just finish it, then post it all at once.

But you can't bottleneck a CPU lol

yes you can. bottleneck is the "slowest" component in the system, the one that runs at 100% and holds back (determines the speed of) the system. like the neck of the bottle determines the speed of the fluid.

if a system runs as fast as it can then there's always a "slowest" component in a system.

 

if you don't have a cpu bottleneck then the gpu is the bottleneck. and that is the most common, running the gpu at 100% while the cpu runs much slower then 100%.

during loading screen the storage is probably the bottleneck.

Peripherals, I'm always reading into the new ways and concept ideas of controlling my PC, although next is the GPU, love to hear a good bit of news about how much more powerful the next generation is gunna be.

GPU's are so SEXY!!!!

I like Computer Stuffs. Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it in again? Automation Expert (Bots, scripts, etc)! Add me on Xbox Live: JollyPlanet449 And on Steam!: Baxtmann Wanshow.tips is a cool place too

Ditto baxtmann...GPUs are awesome to look at but I vote CPU. Always amazes me how something so tiny has so much intricate detail and power and it just keeps getting smaller and smaller.

Motherboards. 

 

Some are just pretty.

Graphics cards and motherboards have their own "heart" as well - the power given to the system from the power supply is still in an unusable state. It has to be converted down to an even lower voltage.
