Corsair Memes

Someone bought 192GB of DDR5 RAM for $500 and never installed it. Now they're sitting on what's probably worth $1000+ because DDR5 prices have gone absolutely bonkers. The joke is treating RAM like a retirement investment portfolio—"living off the interest" as if these memory sticks are bonds or stocks. The real tragedy? They bought hardware meant to be used and it's just collecting dust while DDR5 prices skyrocketed. Classic programmer move: buy the gear for that dream build you'll "definitely start next weekend," then watch it appreciate in value while your current machine struggles with 16GB and 47 Chrome tabs. Honestly, better ROI than most crypto investments. Who needs Bitcoin when you can just hoard RAM during a shortage?

When your RGB RAM costs the same as a used car, you know you've entered the PC building dimension where priorities get... interesting. That Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 kit will set you back enough to buy a perfectly functional 2004 Volkswagen Golf. Both will get you places, but only one has RGB lighting and marginally better compile times. The real kicker? You'll justify the RAM purchase by saying "but I need it for Docker containers" while that Golf could actually take you to the office. But let's be honest, nobody's choosing reliable transportation over shaving 0.3 seconds off their webpack build time. Priorities are priorities.

Seven years of hardware evolution, three operating systems, and that Corsair AX 760 power supply just refuses to die. It's watched your GPU upgrade from a GTX 760 to a 3090 to a hypothetical 9070 XT. Witnessed the rise of Ryzen from Intel's shadow. Endured RAM doubling from 8GB to 32GB. Meanwhile, your motherboard keeps getting fancier hats. That PSU is the IT equivalent of the guy who's been at the company for 25 years and still uses the same coffee mug while everyone around him gets replaced with younger models.
