Here's a separate question:

I'm thinking about getting a "mini-PC" for myself, but only one that can play games really well, especially "modern-day" video games.

What's a very powerful one that I can get?

I'm willing to spend up to $1,000 but maybe just mention anyone that's great or the best out there, idk.

Wait...

You can pay someone to assemble your own desktop or laptop?!

Yup! I found somebody local through connections at school, but I’ve seen craigslist posts offering the service and there are some websites online, NZXT for example. Custom built laptops used to be more popular, there was a brand called Sager, not sure if they’re still around offering custom laptops. I believe System 76 is doing something similar with their laptop modules.

So it's company-by-company, right?

[–] charlie@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I believe so. NZXT started making computer cases and then offered custom PC building at some point. It’s generally extremely pricy which is why I went with finding a local nerd willing to help me for some money and weed.

Awesome. I'll check it out.
