Life Hacks/Head up to your room and experiment with your new modules
Well, you should probably poke around the modules. Well, it’s not like you really got anything new. It is really just the ability to stop time, the ability to make items out of thin air, and the ability to store an infinite amount of things in an extra-dimensional space. Also, you have kind of figured out two of those already. The only thing remaining is the “buy store.” Anything you want for free. That’s sure gonna be interesting.
You get into your room and begin the experiment. You open up a list and find the first screen is almost like you actually are shopping online, except for the fact that it is not pushing pictures of featured items in your face all the time. Well then, where to start? How about an upgrade for your computer? You enter computer into the search, and find that it once again looks like you would expect an online store with all items imaginable to look. It gives you a menu asking about tower computers, lap-tops, server towers, computer main-frame centers, and it also contains information about computer parts such as hard-drives, ram, processors, even the computer motherboard itself.
You poke around for a little while as giddy as a kid in a candy store, and you quickly discover that it looks like the computers available from the top are limited to the specs of the top of the line computers that are available today. However, if you were to construct your computer piece by piece, you can write in and specify how much power you want each part to have to a point where it far exceeds anything possible with modern technology. So, it looks like if you want something REALLY nice you are going to have to spend a little more effort than just getting a new monster of a computer and plugging it in.
A huge grin crosses your face. Now that you know you can do this, you simply can’t hold yourself back. It’s time to play! Well then, first thing you will need is a screwdriver. Of course, you COULD go downstairs to the garage and get one, but why would you do that if all you have to do is enter “screwdriver” into the search? You do so, and then you are momentarily taken aback when you see the results asking you if you were talking about the tool or the alcoholic beverage, and for a moment some part of you is actually tempted to say the alcohol.
No, not going down that road just yet. Shaking your head with a laugh, you tap on the tool, and you ignore all the fancy special automatic screwdrivers it tells you about to just tap on a simple small-screw screwdriver set, a set specific for the small screws used in computers. You then set to work popping open the cover on your PC, and you yank the hard-drive. That done, you disassemble the rest of it and chuck everything else into your pocket dimension. You’re not gonna need that anymore.
Now, you set to work selecting a nice looking new monitor and tower. The specs don’t really matter, but you decide to go with the current top of the line anyway. It will impress whoever sees it, assuming they know computer stuff, and when your demonstrate the ability for your computer to do things no current computer should be able to they will probably just think it is because it is the newest top of the line.
That done, you immediately pop the cover on the new computer’s tower and set to work replacing all the important parts. You put in a 20 pentabite hard-drive, easily 400 times larger than the largest hard-drives commercially available right now, and then slap in your old hard-drive below it, and then… sure.. why not keep the one that came with this machine too? 3 hard-drives. It looks like this thing can handle up to 5 anyway. You give it a full terrabite of ram, you can’t imagine yourself ever running out of ram with that regardless of how many functions you run at once. You put in a graphics card so powerful that you should be able to render every top-end game with no frame rate dropping that comes out in the next 20 years, and then comes the processor. That presents a little bit of a problem as to what you should do.
Memory is not that difficult to deal with, but the processor requires a bit more consideration. The processor has the issue where the larger it is the more power it sucks up, and also the more heat it generates. Most computer manufacturers these days produce either 32 or 64 bit processors, and make them faster by adding more cores, multiple 32 or 64 bit processors running in serial next to each other. It looks like the beast you have here is designed to run with eight 64 bit processors. It does not look like the “buy store” has anything that uses uninvented technology concepts, only currently existing concepts pushed to extremes. As such, if you upgrade this thing to 128 bits it will suck up a LOT of power and might get some overheating problems.
Oh well, 8 core 64 bits is pretty darn substantial. It shouldn’t be a problem to just leave that as is. But then, it makes the fact that you put in a terrabite ram card kind of comical beings the processor will easily get overloaded before the ram is even at 10%. Oh well, it may be pointless but it’s still cool.
With this, you close up the box and hook it up. That was certainly fun, and you would like to try out the new wonder computer you just built, but you don’t really play any of the games that would really test the specs of this monster. That, and it would probably have you here all day. It looks like you managed to do some pretty quick work, but that still took about half an hour.
