pc hardware vs summer heat

Custom computers and Custom laptops can be easily built now. They can range from an affordable budget to an extravagant setup that could be as expensive as a used car. It also allows us to build scalable computer parts, and just emphasize on the parts you need the most.

I personally prefer custom builds over proprietary computers like Dell, Macintosh and the like. Not only are they cheaper you can also get the specific parts you prefer. Though the same cannot be said for a custom laptop. It is still better to buy name brand from Taiwan which are relatively affordable.

I just built my own custom computer. A water-cooled Q9550 ITX computer. Thinking that the low power consumption of an ITX motherboard paired with a cool running quadcore with a water-cooling heat sink would be enough to stand up to the tropical heat… Sadly I was mistaken, the humidity and tropical heat proved to be more than a match for my setup. Fortunately to solve my problem, all I need to do is to change the computer chassis for better ventilation… such is the versitility of custom computer parts.

if you’re not getting it locally, get the best value for your money. Most of the laptops in the US are made in Taiwan and just branded in there. So their practically the same. It boils down to what your budget can afford
