surprise hit will launch later this year exclusively on the
Epic
Games Store. The
Announcement Trailer has a first look. Read on for more on the series
whether you're a fan or an all-in-one cooling system:
Developed by veteran Liverpool, UK development team Spiral House, and published by Epic Games, PC Building Simulator 2 pushes the limits of virtual PC creation to new heights, rendering players’ dream machines in more detail than ever before. Launching with over 1200 officially-licensed parts from industry giants like AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and enthusiast brands like Thermal Grizzly, players will be able to customize and optimize their rigs to a new level. Oh - and there might be some more RGB.
Alongside a challenging new 30+ hour career mode, PC Building Simulator 2 brings improved graphical fidelity, a host of new features to deepen the PC building experience, and steps up the realism of hardware and software simulation.
For me, I don't care about their looks. I just want stability. Due to my disabilities, I can't do hardwares very well like their insides. 
My PCs get dusty a lot too. Yes,they're on the floor. They're hard to reach if they're above the floor.

I have a tempered glass case with a steel frame. Full tower, liquid and air cooling systems, etc. Most of lighting I have is in the fans and its really subdued. I also have a LED strip along the bottom of the case so that I can see the board. Its color coordinated with whatever the fans are doing, which is usually just one solid color. I don't like the pattern flashing and multi color programs that these RGB setups can do. I just want to be able to see inside with a bit of style. Is it all a bit extra? Of course it is. I would never claim otherwise. I enjoy that part of the build though.

It probably gets hella dusty down there too. I've gone high and never looked back. I literally have my midtower on an upper shelf and it rarely gets any dust. I have to blow it out with the DataVac about once per year and there isn't much in there... When I had it on the floor, I blew it out once every quarter and plenty of dust would fly out. Definitely better to keep it higher than lower to avoid that dust build up.

If I were to guess, Your box is probably slooow, infected, runs hot, crashes a lot and and uses a sketchy, free, iffy OS.
RGB would fix the above and allow you to game at frameS per second versus frame a second.
Hell, I was modding lights into my PC's back in the 90's.... super bright blue LED's....

When I built my current box, I went out of my way to find the parts I wanted in it without LEDs.
There is zero RGB crap in my box.

RGB is one of the lamest trends in PC building. It's like, let's get hip and turn all this nerdy hardware into something you would find in a night club. I don't need my room glowing with all kinds of crap coming out of a box.
With that said, you can at least enjoy pretending to a build an expensive rig with this simulator, lol.

My waterpump sort of slowly pulses and shifts color and it looks kind of cool, so does my RAM. The rest of my case is dark and silent. Looks kind of cool because one side is plexi-glass, but yeah it's eyecandy and at least it has a modicum of taste, unlike a lot of shit out there. But yeah, if I can I avoid the "pretty" lights as much as I can when buying new components or parts.
Part of the reason I did the ATX cable was since it's hard to hide, I figure why not make it shiny. The rest of the cables are pretty hidden in my build.

Glad I'm not the only one who finds a lightshow on their desk to be distasteful. Prefer PC's that are like a stealth bomber, quiet, dark, and get the job done. The market for those types of products is small in comparison though.
Moar RGB, moar FPS.

I think the custom builds look impressive but not when its overdone and I really have no desire to go that route. The mechanical keyboard I recently purchased has blue lights, I think. That's about as far as I'll go. So lets grab all the parts, slap it all together, jam it in the case (no window), fire it up, hope & pray it doesn't blow up.Ladron3dfx wrote on Mar 9, 2022, 23:02:
What is with the fancy lights, when did all that change? Someone explain it to me. I'm trying to build a new PC and even the memory sticks have lights.
Kiddos fuckin love ‘em. They think the more lights there are, the better. We sell a machine with a 5600g in it, no video card but a fuck ton of lights and kids go nuts for it.
Hey you kiddos, Get off my Lawn.
PCBS2 - a fantasy adventure featuring graphics cards at RRP! Yes, I know, about as probable as meating a dragon in a phone booth. Because nowadays... phone booths... Well...

i cant even be bothered to put the side or blanking plates on mine. Temps are airflow is fine in the cupboard where the pc sits. I give it a clean out and get the dog fur out of the fans every 6 months or so.....
It isnt a powerhouse, 9600i5 and a 1660ti so no need for fancy cooling.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

You should see the keyboard aisle at Best Buy. I feel like I walked into a rave (without the music).

With fancy lights you too can become a badass streamer!!
LOL I actually found it hard to get memory without that stupid shit, and all my lighting effects are off, except for the amd fan, because that doesn't appear to be an option
