I picked up one of their higher-end prebuilts a few months ago and honestly I've been super impressed. The cable management was immaculate, which is usually where a lot of system integrators cut corners. Booted up perfectly right out of the box with zero bloatware installed. Definitely recommend them if you want a true plug-and-play experience.

What about those little plastic tags from bread bags? You know, the twist ties always break, so they use those hard plastic clips now. I find them everywhere, on the counter, in the sink, even on the floor. They're like tiny, colorful landmines of annoyance. I totally get @willow_martin's thing with the flashing light, it's that same kind of small, constant poke. My wife just leaves them out and it drives me up the wall every single morning.

I used to avoid fantasy books because I thought they were all silly elves and boring quests. Then a friend made me read "The Fifth Season" by N.K. Jemisin. The world building was so smart and the characters felt painfully real. It completely flipped my view of what the genre could do. Now I seek out fantasy that uses its setting to explore big, human ideas.
