The same with people who insist it's easy to build my own gaming PC. I'm sure it's easy to build a ps5 with all the parts as well, but I DON'T WANT TO BUILD MY OWN ELECTRONICS. I don't care how easy they claim it is. Unless it comes out of the box, ready to plug in, I'm not interested. I don't have the patience to go through hours of tutorials
I AM NOT INTERESTED!! I don't want an Ikea version of gaming machine. I have zero desire in doing it.
Which components into what slot? What brand and models? That's enough for me to avoid it. I don't want to do it, even if it's easy
It's not like Lego at all. Unless it all comes in the same box, with all the instructions. Have you ever built a Lego set? You don't buy the pieces separately, hope they're compatible and go on YouTube to find the instructions.
In want case, read my comments: I DON'T CARE, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN PUTTING TOGETHER MY OWN TV , WHY WOULD I WANT TO PUT TOGETHER A PC?! I don't care how simple it is. I could put together my own burger as well but I rather the people at McDonald's do it.
You're right! Unlike Lego the pieces aren't interchangeable, so you really only need the basic skill of "square peg go in square hole" to do it, unlike Lego pieces fitting together at basically any angle so long as the holes touch
Shame you missed out on preschool education
LOL. "I am disinterested in doing [a thing] that I don't have to do."
"Hurr hurr, ur pathetic."
Good fucking christ, this person isn't into building computers. The opinion expressed is utterly harmless and their personal preference. You are free to build all the computers you want.
Oh, yeah, anything can be super easy for people are interested in and experienced with doing that thing.
Building a computer properly is way more than "plugging parts into marked slots," and your comment is disingenuous at best. RAM timings, socket types, cooling selection, power supply selection, wire routing and dressing, version/generation conflicts, Red vs Blue, will the GPU even fit in this computer case, counterfeit parts... And this is all before the thing is plugged in.
PCPartPicker.com exists, handles all this for you with giant "you missed something" red text if something won't work, and is one of the most commonly suggested beginner tools. If someone's complaining about being told to build their own, theyve been told about that tool
People get scared of a very simple task because people like you spread nonsense that makes it sound hard
