A huge "Renaissance" began to rise quietly in the "science and technology zone" of station B. In the past, some up, who were keen to assemble high-end computers, suddenly stopped pursuing the so-called "top matching magic machine" and pondered over such strange installation methods as "how to put accessories into shoebox" and "how to stuff radishes into the host".
To the uninformed, such behavior is quite confusing. Either it is overdrawing the life of computer hardware in advance, or it is carrying out a "computer refitting art" of unknown significance.
The "computer case" used to integrate and summarize hardware was the first to be "poisoned" by netizens because of its low technical threshold and unparalleled "replaceability".
Some people give full play to the virtue of diligence and thrift. They pick up a detergent pot and stuff it with hardware.
Some people think of the old gas stove at home and use it to create a "meal box".
Others are good at thinking in combination with the environment, integrating the chassis and cabinet into one.
In addition to the chassis, the heat sink on the CPU also meets the conditions of "low technical power and high substitutability". In theory, as long as the things pressed on the CPU can reduce the temperature, no one stipulates that it must be a cold exhaust or fan.
Therefore, Wangzai milk can.
Laundry soap is OK.
Ubisoft server can.
Of course, the "radish cooling" that was widely spread in the picture bar in those days can also be used.
Although the netizens' imagination in making these items was sufficient, they did not perform well in terms of practicality: as soon as the software was opened to run the score test, "shoebox chassis" and "radish radiator" would immediately burst into smoke under the devastation of high temperature, and the computer would immediately stop working.
And this famous scene of "whole life failure" is also what the audience most likes to see.
However, veteran hardware players and DIY gods are not satisfied with the "whole life". From this strange combination, they see the charm of the collision between cold industrial products and daily necessities. And turn it into inspiration to create one after another works full of postmodernism.
Old car wheels, old wood boards removed from furniture, and cheap acrylic tubes... With the powerful hands-on ability of big men to "turn stone into gold", these common objects in life can become theme boxes with different styles.
At this stage, this wave of "whole life" has become a "computer DIY competition" to compete for creativity and hands-on ability. Most of the netizens who never tire of it came from the popular "card bar" and "picture bar" in those days.
In the vast and complex post bar Empire, "card bar" and "map bar" are two distinctive existence. The so-called "card bar" and "figure bar" are actually the abbreviations of "graphics card bar" and "figure Latin bar". The names of these two bars come from the core components of the computer.
These two posts, which belong to the hardware field, have also derived two different "installation cultures".
This circle is not big. More than a decade ago, the word "computer assembly" was not popular. At that time, people were still used to buying complete machines assembled by manufacturers for sale. Due to the existence of information fault, it is not too much to use the word "windfall profits" to describe the original computer sales industry.
The water in the computer store is quite deep
With the step-by-step development of the information age, the "computer assembly" with strong autonomy and transparent price has gradually entered people's vision. More and more netizens begin to learn hardware related knowledge by themselves, aiming to "save" a suitable computer at a more affordable price.
If you take the budget of 3000 yuan to ask how to configure a computer, brother "card bar" will enthusiastically urge you to add a little more money. As a result, the total price on the configuration list will become 98000; The brother of "Tuba" will think that the budget of 3000 yuan is more than enough. Taohuan can even open an Internet cafe opposite the primary school.
Of course, the hardware knowledge discussed by "card bar" and "picture bar" has actually helped batch after batch of "computer Xiaobai" to move towards the road of "machine saving God", and has avoided the tragedy of countless players being slaughtered by unscrupulous merchants when replacing new machines.
However, with the gradual normalization of "installation", assembling computers has become a necessary skill for almost every PC player. The gold content of "card bar" and "picture bar" is somewhat different from before.
On the one hand, various hardware evaluation and comparison videos can be found everywhere on the network, and players can easily obtain quite comprehensive information before purchasing; On the other hand, the rise of video platforms has also reduced the learning cost of "installation". After all, the level of detail of video teaching is unmatched by graphics and text.
However, just like the elder brother of the fishing bar who knows everything, the elder brother of the PS bar who can skillfully use "magic", and the seclusion bar who are all worldly experts far away from the secular world, the elder brothers of "card bar" and "map bar" have also become Abstract With the advance of time.
For example, the "mining tide" has not yet passed, and the price of graphics cards is still high. Countless game players are racking their brains to buy affordable cards, while the "card bar", which has been operating for many years and has a large number of people, has become a gathering place for exchanging "boarding" and "downhill" experiences.
At the same time, the "Kaba drivers" with great powers will also help netizens identify whether they have bought a "mine card".
For some smart newcomers who don't listen to the old friends' dissuasion and are eager to "go down the mountain" at a high price, or are greedy for small and cheap things, these posts often turn into a wonderful "clown show".
Even if you don't come here for the purpose of dressing computer, you can always find some fun in "card bar".
Compared with the "Kaba" elder brother who is troubled by the "mining tide", the "Tuba" elder brothers are all like hermits and experts who are disillusioned with the world of mortals and do not want to compete with the secular world. They lead a very comfortable life. Because they, who focus on the "low-end market", are only interested in those old machines that are on the verge of being eliminated.
Those who wander around the major waste collection stations and fight with the old men all day are called "garbage men" in "Tuba". In their eyes, buying old chassis and selling the valuable hardware inside is like "opening a blind box" with endless fun.
Before opening the cover of the chassis, you never know whether it is "blood loss" or "blood gain". If someone can receive a machine that can run lol for 200 yuan, it will certainly be the envy of bar friends.

Some "garbage men" are not so lucky. They spent hundreds or even thousands of yuan on a PC, but were finally suggested by their friends to hand it over to the museum for disposal.
It is not difficult to find that today's "card bar" and "map bar" are no longer the "must go" places for players to learn how to install machines. Most of the people who first mingled in the bar are too old to argue and discuss configuration with others. Today, they are giving full play to their residual heat and still explaining principles and solving problems for a few new people who are attracted by their fame.
Because of their existence, the long-standing "installation culture" is still continuing.
Today's "Renaissance" is actually the epitome of the incomparably prosperous "installation circle". Under the "mining tide", these participants chose to use "whole life" and a "computer DIY competition" to show us the optimism, unyielding and helplessness of hardware players.
