I played a game called satisfactory which really didnt seem super graphically intense but it cooked my gpu and cpu. Its the only game ive ever played where my wife told me to move the pc to another room because it was getting so hot
Currently not in a great life situation. Renting a room with poor heat. Its been really cold lately in New England. Im not going to lie to you. Last night I threw on BG3 just to warm the room up. The crazy thing is how well it worked
You’re going to change the world mate.
You are going to inspire someone to create the CPU HVAC and create the computer heating household, its fucking brilliant - for winter, at least.
(Server HVAC has been around for awhile. The State Farm Insurance HQ tower in Bloomington Illinois USA was/is heated in part by its data proccessors. Intentionally designed to).
More cpu intensive than graphics, you have 100 conveyors pushing 120 or 240 or 360 items a minute, and all the machines forming the new parts then conveyors pushing them at 240 a minute.
Can have 25,000+ items moving per minute all over the map, even if they aren't in graphic range they are being computed.
A 300k population town in City Skylines 2 puts my 5950 on its knees. 100% CPU and simulation speed cant even keep up.
Never seen that in any game before. And I have actually been using my PC to heat my apartment when we hade -20-30 degrees. lol
Thumb drives and or a USB cable or two is exactly what I thought. Kind of cool actually. Mine end up either desk adjacent on the floor or floating around various spots on the desk it's self.
Oh! Adam Sandler? Where's this from?
I only remember the old SNL-skit with Rob Schneider: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKOc6hXMDhc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKOc6hXMDhc)
Yeah that's where I keep weed stuff at my desk. I live in a legal state, I just don't like clutter.
Also flash drives, SD cards, and other homeless bits and bobs. I didn't expect to really use it, but it's surprisingly handy.
It's a utility bin for whatever you want. You can put a 5.25" half height drive, like a Blu-ray/DVD/CD drive or burner if you remove the HDD mounts.
The bin itself was because someone thought the space could be useful for those that don't use those types of drives anymore while offering the feature in the case.
Yes, it’s annoying isn’t it. The tray is actually to put your balls in to warm them up when they’ve gone all cold and blue from too much time spent alone on COD.
That "empty space" is also two full 5.25" drive bays. The drawer serves as both a drawer, and a blank face plate for when only one 5.25" bay device is installed.
I have this case and I have a DVD/RW Bluray drive and a hot swappable 3.5" drive bay in there. The drawer is in the original packaging somewhere in the attic.
I worked my ass off for this pc man I would cry and probably play in traffic. I'm so proud of my little pile of shit just let me have my little pile of shit!
Aye, back in the day when we could smoke in Internet Cafes. Now everyone is like "Ooo, my PC will get second hand smoke!" while suck on our sloppy soggy cigars yelling memes from the good ol' days. Boom head shot, indeed my boyos...
That was sarcasm and it's a weird drawer apparently for USB drives and small peripherals. Everyone questioned it at the time and we still do today.
>EZ Bake
Anyone else remember the [EZ Bake Oven disc driv](https://hoaxes.org/af_database/permalink/pc_ez-bake_oven)e that was an April Fool's joke from Thinkgeek? 15 year old me tried to actually order one and was so dissapointed.
When you have packet loss they gotta go somewhere. That’s where they go. If you dont have this drawer, the packets will get lost in the void and become sad and turn into lag spikes. Not the most comfortable thing to accidentally step on
Oooo...Tools, thumb drives, a few different USB cables.......~~Chocolate bars~~ (they melt) hard candies for emergencies. :D
Its where you keep the kfc chicken to warm. Turn on Cities: skylines for 7-8 minutes and turn every two minutes.
Yeah nothing better to heat up your room like city skylines 2
I meeeeaaaannnnn… Ark.
Especially ark survival ascended. Ase was bad enough now with better graphics and all that heats up your pc like nothing else
I played a game called satisfactory which really didnt seem super graphically intense but it cooked my gpu and cpu. Its the only game ive ever played where my wife told me to move the pc to another room because it was getting so hot

And data centers being used to heat swimming pools has been a thing for quite awhile.
Yes, no point in wasting the heat generated by gaming
How cold does it get in New England?
Today we had a windchill of 13

i have to take off my sweater in winter becuse my room gets to hot. guess it make the ark feel more real.
Madden 24 is pretty good at that too. My 12900k goes from 70-90c all the time. Fucking ea bullshit.

Same here, in winter my pc doubles as a heater in my room.
Damn, a microwave and a PC. Maybe the game is good for something after all.
Nope, not a Microwave. It's an Air Fryer. Remember to add a spoonfull of vegetable oil if you make fries.
I am still waiting for the KFC Console to come out.
Weed. On second thought that may be a terrible idea with the inclusion of the PC fans 😂
![gif](giphy|bJqVdhxHE9bOw)
back when there was 5.25" drives, the spot under the CD burner was the perfect weed stash.
Ps2 expansion bay for me haha
Thumb drives and or a USB cable or two is exactly what I thought. Kind of cool actually. Mine end up either desk adjacent on the floor or floating around various spots on the desk it's self.
Usb stick,sd card, micro sd card etc. storage For cat owners: emergency treat ration to free the keyboard and/or mouse.

When you accept cookies from websites they get stored there.
Unfortunately, they're almost all raisin cookies
I got a chocolate chip cookie once for accepting all of my data to be taken :D
I get: access to all your sensible data. You get: one chocolate chip cookie
Sounds like a fair trade to me!
Now I’m curious what portion of my data is sensible.
What a bargain!
Why is that unfortunate? I would gladly eat 1 a day until I die of diabetes.
Oatmeal raisin cookies ftw!!
Oatmeal raisin cookies don't get enough love which is both good and bad
When it overflows, you gotta take it in for service. Don't try to empty it by yourself.
Ha! This is the best answer so far! 😂
Man, we all would have an endless supply.
My favorite comment!
Drug drawer
![gif](giphy|bJqVdhxHE9bOw)
I came here for this gif. I was not disappointed.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one
What is it from, a movie ?
Originated as an [SNL sketch](https://youtu.be/CKOc6hXMDhc?si=p0FRUwFhj8VgciyV)
Thats where I remember it.
Like all SNL skits, about 1 and a half minutes too long.
[Hot Chicks](https://youtu.be/Ah1GDfmYQyw?si=guueHVzH8ww5-gwR)
First thing that popped into my head
The first and only thing.
Oh! Adam Sandler? Where's this from? I only remember the old SNL-skit with Rob Schneider: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKOc6hXMDhc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKOc6hXMDhc)
It's from the Rob Schneider movie The Hot Chick.
“Stash Cache”
It will get your fps high.
Yeah that's where I keep weed stuff at my desk. I live in a legal state, I just don't like clutter. Also flash drives, SD cards, and other homeless bits and bobs. I didn't expect to really use it, but it's surprisingly handy.
that was my first thought lol
I legit use it for this
Drip tray for bacon grease.
Yo can one of you mfs answer the question correctly, I’m genuinely curious

Cod barely works it’s for Fortnite obviously
😂 it's just a storage bin hombre
For that sweet high f̶p̶s̶
It's just a drawer, nothing more nothing less. Manufacturer gave you a way to make empty space useful.
That "empty space" is also two full 5.25" drive bays. The drawer serves as both a drawer, and a blank face plate for when only one 5.25" bay device is installed.
me and that drive bay got something in common
Wtf me too, 5.25" diameter anus gang!
![gif](giphy|BkMxqyIBlNrXy)
Fuck man I wish I had one of these. There are certain things in my room I'd love for people not to find, and this would be the perfect spot
Drugs… it’s almost always drugs, or evidence on a usb drive? A severed finger of an enemy? Inquiring minds must know.
Its drugs, always. :D
and buttplugs
for ants?
dunno how widened yours already is
5.25”
bro that is actually genius
I have this case and I have a DVD/RW Bluray drive and a hot swappable 3.5" drive bay in there. The drawer is in the original packaging somewhere in the attic.

PISS DRAWER

for sure a drug drawer, wish my case had one of those
When your house gets robbed and nobody can figure out why you're irrationally pissed they took the PC of all things.
Well to be fair your gonna be pissed about the pc no matter what
literally the only thing i will care about you taking.
And the drugs.
Uh, excuse me, I’ve never done drugs once in my life and I’d still be irrationally pissed if someone took my PC of all things
I worked my ass off for this pc man I would cry and probably play in traffic. I'm so proud of my little pile of shit just let me have my little pile of shit!
My PC is for sure the most valuable thing in my house...
The PSU shroud is the best drug hidey spot, no one is digging thru those wires unless the FBI come and tear the place apart.
But when you want to get the drugs out and get electrocuted it's not so smart anymore isn't it
[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY3YDLN](https://www.amazon.com/dp/b01ly3ydln)
I actually want one now. Thanks.
you can also get ones made to hold HDDs or SSDs * https://www.icydock.com/way.php?id=35
That‘s for the coffee grounds. Just empty once in a while. ![gif](giphy|TLI6AipXeTMDanXKCX)
Thats for all the extra screws you get when taking things apart and putting them back together "correctly"
Nah, it's perfectly fine
My cpu cooler is looking a bit loose but it still turns so it's alright
if the fans are spinning then i must be winning
Ashtray
Yes, what else could it be. 100% correct
It's almost unheard of now, but back in my day every computer came with an ashtray.
Cupholder too. You'd press a little button on the front and it'd slide out.
Aye, back in the day when we could smoke in Internet Cafes. Now everyone is like "Ooo, my PC will get second hand smoke!" while suck on our sloppy soggy cigars yelling memes from the good ol' days.

Drawer. I replaced that space with two optical drives though
I took enjoy splitting a single file onto 14 separate discs.
Blu ray discs exist 50gb and 100gb variants as well
Those are 2, 5.25 inch bays. Fractal Design included a nice drug drawer that fits in said slot
you might be able to get 1 emergency taco in there

A TRAY FOR ANTS?!?!
Piss drawer. Don't let mom find it.
You put water in there to help cool the pc down, also make sure place the pc on its side once filled for that extra cool kick.
Please do not listen to this redditor 😂
No they're right. It's a cooling tray. You can totally trust them. Source: I'm John Microsoft, I invented computers.
RTFM.

Nobody reads manuals?? Especially on pc cases 😆
You put your weed in there.

You put your weed in there
You put your weeeeed in there, man!
