I've got a Lenovo x220i
It comes with its own internal heating system so that one can easily be frying up bacons and eggs after a minute or two. One just have to turn the PC around. But be careful its "a bit" hot ;)
The hardware comes with a battery which lasts an astonishing 1 hour or so while using Netflix, how awesome isn't that?
The PC is also built in a way so that it'll randomly be hard to wake up every once in a while, after being put to sleep. A gentle hint that you should perhaps take a break, how nice isn't that?
To complete this masterpiece it also has a massacred red mouse button for that added punk theme.

Everything worth doing is worth overkilling.
It feels more satisfying to me to go overkill on something cosmetic like watercooling over something like RAM.

Stop making me curious.

cba to build one, and I play so few AAA releases that I don't care anymore.
It's like sports cars. Those people with the million dollar cars don't enter any races, they just want to flash them before peasants' eyes.

No idea what brand my cooler is, but it's a tower one.

Please don't judge me for using a gamer mainboard with a CPU that can't be overclocked.

It's just branding. There's no real difference between a gaming motherboard and a normal one.

Sure? Iirc the one I have is specifically made for rigs that are to be overclocked.
My motherboard isn't labeled for gaming and I can overclock.
I'm pretty sure it's an almost standard bios feature. I think you may be able to OC without it, too, but don't quote me on it.

I mean, your motherboard is either going to work or it isn't. There isn't any feature that's going to make your computer any more suited for gaming, unless you count something like extra PCIE slots or DDR4 slots.

"Gaming" is just a word used by these companies to justify adding another 0 to the price tag. Usually it's just a moody black and red color scheme. No purple or pink, I'm afraid. >:c
