I'm sorry, but the radiators inside your overpriced case are not anywhere close to being large enough to passively radiate sufficient heat to run that rig. You're still going to have fans pushing air through your radiators.
Alright, so this is probably going to be controversial but I want to discuss the influence of homosexuality on video games (both as products and as culture) and the gay community's recent excursion into gaming territory. I am going to preface this by stating outright that I harbour no ill will against homosexuals. I really don't care about the sexual proclivities of grown-ass men. What you do to yourself in your own time and in the privacy of your own home is ultimately your business. Now that those pleasantries are out of the way, lets get to the heart of the issue here. There are several points or aspects of this phenomenon that I would like to explore. These points are enumerated below: 1) I think it is increasingly becoming the case that homosexuals are influencing the types of characters that we see in games (Dragon Age), the ways in which those characters interact with each other(Bioware, Obsidian), and even the types of games being made (Gone Home). The most recent and most egregious example of this certainly must be Gone Home, a game in which homosexuality serves as not just meaningless flavour or back-story, but as a central part of the game's narrative and plot. What do you guys think is driving this trend in gaming? How do we explain the fact that, even though homosexuals likely make up an insignificant fraction of the gaming public, they have nevertheless gained a tremendous amount of visibility in the medium? Is this a good thing? Have the characters and the writing in these games suffered as a consequence of this trend? Ubiquitous bisexuality comes to mind, where characters suffer from "blank-slate" syndrome so as to make sure everyone can "see themselves" in a particular character. Examples include Shepard from Mass Effect, who we had absolutely no reason to believe had an atypical sexuality. Where do we go from here? Do we eventually give characters like Shepard the capacity to suffer from gender dysphoria, so as to please trans gamers?
