    It's like LEGO but with sharper edges.

    Ah, the good old days of cheap cases, when every build took a blood sacrifice.

    I wanted to write: No better time to get started than now!

    But looking at the RAM prices which are about to jump over to GPUs, maybe wait till after the AI bubble bursts.

    32GB of DDR5 is north of $400, yeah might be best to wait.

    I saw that yesterday. I tried to explain to my wife how absurd it is that the same 64GB RAM kit I bought a few months ago for $210 is currently over $760.

    Yeah it's mental. I've been thinking about building a dedicated gaming rig to play older multiplayer stuff via steam stream since my proxmox box has an older Xeon chip, but I'll be damned at these prices.
