What do YOU want to see back in the PC building mainstream

Back in the day it was all about 5.25 bay reservoirs and the maximum amount of tubing you could cram in a case, bonus points for purple and green color themes

 

I have the same exact Antec P182, they don't make them like this anymore unless you shell out them shekels I tell you that mate

Oh I know. I had a 5.25 kit for my Antec P182 as well on my Pentium 4. was the only way it didn't melt itself regularly.

 

but that tubing job makes me cringe!

Rollercoaster heatsinks. Nuff said.

On your knees mortal, behold the greatest heatsink of all time

 

Sub ambient temps guaranteed m8

Wasn't that GPU only released in the Asian market and ridiculously priced? One-offs (sorta, Colorful tends to go over the top) aren't really, ehm, mainstream. Rollercoaster heatsinks were.

can't find a better picture of it but this guy right here

How about top end desktop processors less than $1000....

 

 

 

 

 

Intel.

Ryzen (hopefully) to the rescue!

Motherboards with more power phases than RGB lights.

I realy liked external hotswap bays tbh, was realy easy to remove when i had material on a drive noone was allowed to touch when i still used a shared family pc

this is kind of going the other way but im sick of everything coming out with LED on it i get it theres LED stop acting like you have never herd of LEDs 

although i wouldnt mind if there was more 5.25 stuff i like to have options for drive cages and theres just not that many nice cages out there.

tempered glass can go fuck itself

not rgb high end shit

I think tempered glass looks nice, but I agree, rgb can make things look like children's toys.

Idk what a power phase is but can't we have both?    I like lights in my case.  Nothing super bright but enough that I can see what's in my computer.  

 

Maybe I'm crazy but I think it's really cool to be able to see my sexy GPU and watch my CPU cooler's fan spinning.  ?

They used to be better than Intel for  long time. 

[mad dudy]

high end stuff without rgb everywhere. think of how much money we could be saving if they didn't waste it all on rgb.

[CtrlAltELITE]

I'll echo some of the above. I miss the 'ghetto' setups of the 90s and early 00s. The good old days of overclocking anything and everything, before that was locked down by cpu and chipset manufacturers, the good old days of attatching car parts and bits of plumbing equipment to your rig before companies like EK, corsair etc started offering legit units cheap enough that folks no longer had to improvise.

 

Also max power style gauge clusters in all your 5.25" bays displaying useless information.

 

Also to add in, actual real 'risk' involved during overclocking. The good old days of melting prescott pentiums, and exploding PSUs.

 

As for things I dont miss. Fucking 'capacitor plague' :D.

Having good looking parts is nice, no argument there but lights don't help with performance. Power phases help smooth out the power being fed to a CPU or GPU, that means better clock speeds. Well I guess it can mean better clock speeds.

This is the basically the predecessor to painfully tacky RGB lighting 

 

[Scruffy90]

Smaller cases that get rid of all the unnecessary nonsense. For everything else mainstream. Battery life, battery life, battery life in portable computing devices.

 

edit: Lower pricing again.

[corrado33]

I want simple builds without all the flashy bullcrap. 

 

No RGB, no lighting, no glass side panels, no flashy colors, just nice simple, quiet cases that are out of the way. I'm not someone who has to be "proud" of their computer. I have other things to be proud of. It's not like I put any effort into building the computer. Virtually legos for adults.

Any idea what period of time that was?

I know it doesn't make my computer perform any better but I love BLUE.  ?
