Different Types Of Computer People

[glitchmaster0001]

So, some of you might know that in the car world their are many types of car people out there. For example Tuners, Hot Rodders, Ricers, Exotic, Muscle Cars, JDM, The Average Joe, Ect. So, me and my buddies at school were discussing about is there the equivalence of the people in the car world for the world of computers. for example a "Ricer" (Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements) is equivalent to a "Pricer" (nice name right? lol) or (Performance Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements) and the Tuner equivalence would be a person that spends most of their money on the hardware of the PC. Leave your comments down below on this insanely random thread.

 

Personally i consider myself to be the Hot Rodder type because i like taking old PC chassis from the late 1990s to early 2000s and adding modern components in them while making the outside still look OEM as possible.

There are only master racers and peasants I don't understand

I like to think I'm a muscle type of computer person where my computer screams "I'm American, I'm louder, and I'm better than you".

 

I made an engine swap recently:

 

 

Uber mode is when the turbos kick in. Obviously.

There are the enthusiasts who want a nice looking powerful pc partly just to have one.

 

There are those who simply want to play games/do work on their computers and have no interest besides that.

 

As well as those that are in the middle of the two, I am one. I enjoy having a powerful pc but I really don't care about the looks of it, I simply want performance.

lol i meet my share of "ricers" as a computer enthusiast myself. the mods that they do their PCs are pointless and or a waste of money like for example adding a custom waterblock to a cpu with a locked multipier just to make it look cooler. or adding a fan controller to a prebuilt pc just to make it look more high proformance or adding the core i7 extreme editions stickers to a PC that doesnt even have an extreme edition CPU.

guess i'm just an average joe

Guess I'm one of the handsome newcomers then. LOL

 

Or one of those who has the hardware but has no games. sadlyf.

It's comical that someone (or someones) came up with an acronym for that; it's not what the phrase "ricer" means though. ;-)
