So my last beefy comp was purchased in 2020 during the pandemic. I got it just for Flight Sim 2020. RTX 2080 super, i7 9800k etc. It was alienware, it was relatively cheap considering at that time, the comp market was exploading and all GPU's were harvested for crypto. I paid around 4k for it.

Fast forward to me sitting at home the other day, wondering hmmmm i could use more power. I went online to newegg and canadian computer to build my new gaming rig. Came out to ~$4500..

Then i went to costco and found this beast for almost 800 bucks cheaper

It came on friday... and by saturday, i was already returning it to costco. WAY TOO LOUD.
Ugh, i forgot how friggin loud all these fans are. Im using a mac mini as a daily driver, and i cant stand the sound of these stupid fans.

^results are good... i mean its a 145% higher benchmark than my 2080 super. On my 48inch odyssey g9, its pretty epic. VR performance was good as well but my quest 2 was holding it back.

Then upon researching what the hell to do now, i found this Cloud computing thing called Geforce Now. You basically pay money (or you can try the free version) to rent a computer, they host your games and then stream it to you. You can even put it on a amazon firestick and connect a bluetooth controller/keyboard mouse and game via a firestick!! (you can basically put it on anything, ipad, your TV with a firestick, any old computer as long as it has decent internet connection). It uses your steam library and majority of the titles are supported. So instead of paying 4500 bucks for a new gaming PC, ive transitioned to cloud gaming and able to keep my office absolutely silent while still using my mac mini
