Steamboxes Compared in Price to PC Builds (PCPartsPicker)

But it still is not as efficient as just letting the pc get the (right) image itself, let it install and let another guy do all the testing.

That assumes there is another guy, heh.

You are right though, I'm just saying there are several ways to go about it, many are just about as efficient as another.

That is the main point I was trying to bring across at any rate. Any discussion between us is purely academic, interesting as it is, still just so much nit-picking, lol. : )

A lot of people here only know what they've done on the kitchen table and refuse to see past that, or don't have the knowledge to even fathom what it would be like(as some of the posts in these threads clearly demonstrate).

I never actually worked in a computer assembly sort of job. However, I do a lot of experience in time sensitive production though, including military electronics work, where we're setting stuff up on a bench to run automated tests. But as a hobby builder and resident family amateur IT guy, it feels like I've worked in the computer production field.

Workers don't get paid per sale unless it's just one guy working out of his garage, they get paid a wage out of all profits....to frame it another way:

When you're buying a car do you inquire as to whether the guy on assembly line 3 was late for work or didn't operate at peak efficiency?

Of course not, that's ridiculous.

Buyers shouldn't ultimately care about the details of in-shop logistics, that goes beyond "micromanagement" and into "None of your damned business, do you want to buy this or not?"

A general idea of the kind of stuff that go into it should be enough, but many people here lack even that, and when it is provided, they just seek to poke holes in it as if it proves some point, because, reasons.

Just goes to show you that people graduating into PCMR does not equate to any real sort of enlightenment.
