i think i will get the skytech archangel then. i just hope it'll be alright in my closet (a good reason i didn't have a desktop is space and portability) so it's gonna have to go in my closet and i'm gonna have to cut a hole in the wall lol
@Winchestercester Please make sure it has some airflow around it while you're playing or doing 3D rendering. TS4 doesn't generate a lot of heat compared to some games, but it's still more than enough to require some cooling support. The processor and graphics card each have a fan to dispel excess heat, and the case has fans for intake and outtake, so a closed closet would be a real problem. An open one would probably be fine though.
The closet is fairly large, it has a dresser in it which I planned to put my computer on but I guess I could leave it open. The laptop I use now gets up to 70c something when rendering but I don't think the fans are working all that well.
Idk if you could answer this question, but do you know if a higher powered PC has the potential to trip a breaker? Some of the breakers are faulty in this house so I'm trying to figure out if I'd be able to actually do any real gaming/rendering.
@Winchestercester You can close the closet when you're not using the computer for anything taxing; just open it when you're playing or rendering.
As for the breakers... I don't really know. The SkyTech computer has a 500W power supply, so it won't draw more than that at any time, and less if its current tasks don't require as much. (I don't know what the Cyberpower model has, but from the company's other products, I'd guess 600W.) Whether that's a problem will depend on how sensitive the breakers really are. This is definitely beyond my level of expertise, but I would guess that the issue wouldn't be the computer itself but how much else was running in the house at the same time when it started demanding power, i.e. when you turned it on or started to play.
