That's actually one of my favorite bass tones.

 

[rgand]

Thanks, very enjoyable video. I agree with Tony. That gnarly bass tone is what I really like from a bass. Not that I play one, but if I did... :icon_thumright:

A Dell computer, really...

Sounds as good as it looks! Thanks for showing this!

Dell makes a good computer, however among folks who build their own computers, "factory" built ones are looked down on for the cost cutting measures they take when choosing parts. It's kinda like the difference between one of your Warmoth builds and a Fender Squire.  :icon_thumright:

Its a laptop.  I have built many desktop machines but don't have much need for one these days as they are not portable.

These days I am not that sure building a desktop machine is even worth it with today's specs etc. Some gamers and enthusiast builds you see are an easy way to blow a lot of cash for performance that many are not using.

Unfortunately nowadays I have to agree with you. The gamer scene has caused prices to skyrocket. That's why I've gotten out of it and gone back to concentrating on guitars.
Plus, nowadays everyone pretty much just uses their phone, or like you, a laptop. Mainly though the original comment was primarily made to give big A a hard time. (G) While he should be proud of his accomplishments, we don't want him to get a swelled head. :icon_jokercolor:
Didn't mean to seem like I was insulting your digital choices. :icon_thumright:

They've always been something of a premium, but it's incredible what some of the higher-end video cards go for these days.

And it's only going to get worse. nGreedia has deemed it. Not that AMD is innocent or anything. :icon_thumright:

The higher end video cards are also being widely deployed for uses far from video - many folks are running massively parallel GPUs for AI and other supercomputer purposes, and I'm sure many of the large scale bitcoin miners are similarly equipped. 

 

[Cagey]

I read about that some years back - I guess the bitcoin miners are actually having to buy massive power supplies as well, to the point where they actually effect their electric bills substantially.

 

[mayfly]

er...



... i like the Bass.  Very Brooklyn 99 

 

[ghotiphry]

Loving the bass also, but...

Bitcoin mining with GPUs is long, long dead. They use dedicated ASICs now.  There was a market for alt coins with GPUs, which is also mostly dead now as well.  The last surge of Bitcoin price basically killed alts.

I stand corrected.  Thanks for the additional info.  I haven't looked at it in a couple of years, and in the meantime the subject matter of my professional life has moved more to energy and health care, as my active client base has shifted.

 

[Cagey]

I was unaware of it as well. Seems to me that was happening during the "overclocking" craze at the time, which I never really bought into.

I swore off desktops for several years but eventually came back for my home studio and office and am so glad I did. You can get an incredibly powerful and responsive system for not all that much money, and put the muscle right where you need it, and with quality components that tend to come with much longer warranties. My recording/playing setup has two interfaces, 2 powered audio monitors, a widescreen monitor, a Komplete keyboard, a Furman unit power all hooked up. Then in excess of 1TB worth of sounds libraries and things in storage. I'm not looking to hook up a notebook twice a day and certainly not with comparable horsepower/storage at the cost.

As for gamers, that's kind of a separate beast. If someone feels they "need" to play AAA titles on high resolution and on high-ultra settings...yeah, there's just a huge premium for that. For everyone else a very modest video card will do the trick, and often enough none at all - any typical display or dual-monitor setup can be handled by integrated graphics for everyday use.

I initially built mine with 9 components, and that includes the case, aftermarket CPU fan, a Windows license, and a fantastic huge display. I did add an "upper-tier but not insane" video card shortly after deciding I wanted to aim for a 6-year run with the system. I do play some games on rare occasion and don't mind eye candy.

Strangely enough when I got out of desktop PCs around 5 years ago, the idea was that my laptop would fill all the gaps pretty well. Now, the notebook got squeezed out by my phone and desktop.
