Though Tesla's aren't designed for gaming I would assume it would still perform decently?

I read about these a short while ago and I thought at 8,000 to 16,000 Canada bucks you could almost do a home built aircraft.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

What burning circuitry smells like
What a smoke detector sounds like
What screaming sounds like
What half choking to death feels like
What frantic running is like
What an emergency siren sounds like
What ashes look like...
just to mention a few...

I am happy and confident 'building' all the parts apart from the CPU. Tried putting new thermalpaste on a CPU and heatsink I had around on an old computer. I think I did bad....

And, I wouldn't have a clue which power slots on the motherboard needed power. A mystery to me, aha. It's easy enough to change a PSU over when you know where it needs to go after.
