    Urgh. Or every time you change a part. I like the idea of building and upgrading PCs but Christ is it stressful. Maybe if I were rich I wouldn’t care so much, but worrying about mishandling PC components isn’t great for my hair colour.

      Same.

      What I would like is LEGO-esque PC system, where you just slot shrouded hardware bricks and cartridges, no wires. The game cartridges of the SNES had variable amounts of storage or chips to enhance performance, such as the SuperFX for Star Fox and Yoshi’s Island.

      After having built a bunch of pcs through the years, I’ve learned that components really aren’t as fragile as they feel.

        Yeah, I know. Doesn’t stop my stupid brain from getting anxious though, especially when they’re being a bitch to get in/out.
