What makes a computer build?
What makes one build better than another?
Is there a single model or a collection of them?
We’ve asked some of the world’s most creative builders to tell us the pros and cons of each of these.
We’ve also gathered their thoughts on the different parts and how they relate to each other.
Today, we’re joined by Adam Smith, the creator of Nocturnes Build.
He joins us to discuss the difference between builds, the components of a computer and his favourite builds, including: computer builder Adam Smith (Nomad) builds his own computers and builds a lot of his own stuff.
Adam also makes the video game The Last of Us, which is now out on Steam.
A few months ago, Adam had the opportunity to talk to us about his computer builds, his work, and his own design philosophies.
How would you describe your build process?
How does your build vary depending on what you’re building?
What parts and components of your computer are you building and why?
Adam Smith: I don’t know.
It’s pretty random.
It depends on the build and the type of hardware I’m building it on.
It might be a big system, or a little system.
There’s usually some sort of motherboard that’s built in.
Usually it’s a processor that I’m using to power the system.
Sometimes it’s some sort that has a GPU inside it.
I might be using an integrated graphics card or a high-end CPU.
Sometimes I’m going for a really cheap motherboard with a lot less RAM, or I might have a lot more RAM, but it’s kind of just what the motherboard is designed for.
The last time I did one of these, it was for my dad’s PC.
He was in a bit of a bind.
He wanted a desktop PC that he could just use, but he was looking for something that he was happy with, and it was a bit weird for him to do something like that.
He just wanted to do it because it was just something that was really cool, and that he wanted to be able to play games and be able get a real PC to run it.
A lot of the time, I just put in what I was going to buy and that was the only thing.
I just wanted it to be cool.
How do you balance aesthetics and build quality?
What sort of materials do you use to build your computers?
Are there certain components that you use?
Are you just making stuff up as you go along?
I’m pretty sure that all my computers are built with the same standard.
I think there are some parts that are really, really expensive.
I don, as a matter of fact, have a bunch of different motherboard parts that I have to spend a lot on.
Sometimes if I’m just making a few different motherboard pieces, I might get really fancy and add a lot to them, so that I can get that extra RAM or something that’s more powerful than what the rest of the motherboard has.
There are other components that are kind of really cheap and you just sort of go and buy whatever you need.
I mean, I’m sure there are a few of my computers that have a whole bunch of parts.
I have a big pile of them in my house, which are really expensive, so I just get them at the hardware store, or from a third-party seller.
What kinds of components are you using?
I do use a lot and I’m definitely trying to do my best to keep up with that.
I also have some cheap components in my computer that I use, like the old Pentium, which I have just sitting around in my attic, or the old Core 2 Duo that I bought when it was really, REALLY cheap.
I use these old parts as much as I can.
I know it sounds like a lot, but I actually only have a few Pentiums.
I only use two of them.
I’ve never really bought another Pentium.
I got a Pentium 2 in a really good deal at a really cool price.
Do you ever take your computer apart and rebuild it?
Do you have a spare motherboard, or is that all you do?
I think I do rebuild computers.
I probably get rid of the hard drive, and I’ll use a hard drive from another computer and do a quick reassembly of it and put it back together.
I try to do a lot with the RAM.
I tend to put a lot in.
I usually do my RAM off in the attic.
Do I do a rebuild of the CPU? I don
