i used to like it. but i sleep in the same room as my pc and i like to leave my pc on. that means any LEDs i cannot turn off (or those that are too tricky to turn off) are just plain annoying.

i wouldn't mind otherwise, as long as it's not overkill. does RAM really need LEDs? do SSDs really need LED covers?

we're basically on the verge of LEDs having LEDs.

Divinity OS is my favorite game in the genre. The main story could be better but the side quests are fantastic. Every single one makes you want to explore and delve deeper.

it's not even worth that. i'd say no more than $30

i quote @zaku101 "full size spinning hard drives".

You can easily build a small mATX system with 3 2.5" slots that has a 500GB SSD and 2 2TB HDDs. ton of capacity and speed in a tiny box.

The biggest E3 rumor is that both xbox and playstation will have mid-console-generation upgrades announced. If this turns out to be true, it is certainly going to push console gamers towards pc.

Peripheral and hardware makers are also making a push to entice console gamers to go pc by offering steam machines/living room pcs/couch keyboard/mouse devices.

at the end, it all depends on the games, and pc never slows down in that department.

i'm maxing out tomb raider and DOOM at 1440p (75+ FPS) on a core i5-3450 so your CPU is definitely fine.

GPU upgrade is the way to go. i'd say get a 1080 or 1070

i feel like you're the only person with a proper argument, even though i don't agree with you.

the problem with "executing innocent person" argument is that that is what already happens all the time. cops can kill innocent people by mistake, doctors can kill innocent people by mistake, drivers can kill innocent people by mistake, but we don't stop doing any of those things.

As long as the system works, as long as there's a good enough reason to, and as long as people believe in the system and its legitimacy, the death penalty should be present. Otherwise, it's a form of injustice.

It's like saying throwing penguins off a plane doesn't hurt them, it's their inability to fly that hurts the penguins.

It's scientifically known that psychological effects have profound physiological effects, sometimes akin to physical pain.

How does Grief cause physical pain?

Also, refer to PTSD.

I'm hoping a psych major comes to this thread and enlightens us all.

The LEDs are mounted to the back of the monitor so it has the same effect.

@FelipeInside: me too. But a lit wall behind the monitor helps enormously.
