This is just a thread for discussing any anime we are interested in, have watched, want to watch, or whatever else applies.
 
I am easily a fan of classic anime including Kinnikuman, Fist of the North Star, Lupin the Third, Space Adventure Cobra, Ashita no Joe, Otokojuku, and Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 among others. I'm mainly inclined to classic franchises because I tend to feel MOST anime nowadays is too reliant on or deliberate with their use of fanservice and overly annoying characters compared to back then, thus I tend to avoid most modern animes but direct iterations/spinoffs of an older series (ex. Golgo 13 and JoJo's) or ones consisting primarily of adults (ex. Black Lagoon).
 

This is an image I once made by tracing over existing images of characters and putting them in one massive group pic, all of these except for Mazinger (waiting for better subs to be available online) I have watched at least one full episode of. Unfortunately I lost most of the individual images of each character so I can't really expand the roster without doing it all over again (It's not too difficult aside from Kenshiro and Gundam). I did do one recently of Moguro Fukuzou from Laughing Salesman (Which is my current avatar) but I'm not sure If I'll bother re-making the rest.
 
From left to right...Kitaro (GeGeGe no Kitaro), Ryotsu Kankichi (Kochikame), Mazinger Z, Kenshiro (Fist of the North Star), Lupin III, Astro Boy/Atom, Cobra (Space Adventure Cobra), RX-78 Gundam (Mobile Suit Gundam), Kinnikuman, Cutey Honey, Seiya (Saint Seiya / Knights of the Zodiac).

I still don't have any parts or accessories except for the keyboard and mousepad. Not that I wanted to get it over with earlier since it has given me time to look over anything I'm uncertain with and adjust accordingly.

There's still going to be a fair deal of inactivity in this topic. When I do get those parts, expect pictures if not a video or two covering the build.
 
I cancelled the order on the Talon for the moment since I might order it on Newegg instead, I might want to get some other stuff on Amazon anyway such as a USB 3.0 header adapter to work around the USB 3.0 plug instead of male header issue that the Commander MSI Epic has. I also got a couple Rosewill fans since they were one of the cheaper brands on the site.

If you were not limited by cash, skills and/or resources, what would your ultimate rig(s) look like and/or what would be put in it or use it for.
 
Here's one I made up in PCPartsPicker as an exaggerated 4K-ready  setup. Not on the list would be a custom LCS with an EK Fury X waterblock since Tt only has VGA blocks for 980 & 970 Strixes.

While it doesn't require that powerful of a PC to run the latest fighters and the more intensive emulators, the real money would go to the rest of the hardware like the internal monitor, the buttons and joysticks, and especially the cabinet itself.

Not at all nowadays seeing as sound cards aren't as relevant as they were in the 90's. Only use is if you are an extreme audiophile or don't have any onboard ports for fiber optic audio and/or surround sound.

For me it would mainly be ATX or M-ATX, M-ITX is too small (and thus often lacks fan ports and such) for me but it's usually the form-factor that has built-in Wi-Fi.

After having to deal with an Acer laptop and an HP desktop with their dated dual cores and integrated GPUs for close about 5 years, I decided almost 2 years ago to build my own computer with some assistance from my uncle. I've slowly but surely got most of the parts, settling for some temporary cheapo parts to get it up and running along the way. After the cheapo parts, I got a smaller case and upgraded most of the parts to better ones like an i5-6500, RX 480 and an H170 ATX motherboard.
 
The name Fighting Computer is a reference to Warsman (shown above) from an 80's wrestling anime called Kinnikuman (Which is the predecessor to what's known in the west as Ultimate Muscle). I originally called this build Red Comet as a reference to Mobile Suit Gundam, but there's far more gray/black than red here and I'm more of a Kinnikuman fan anyway.

Just got mine in the mail today, won't be putting it to that much use until I get a PC built since my laptop tends to have only one vacant USB port (ordered a USB hub anyway). The Talon's still on back-order, not that I really need it yet since the Logitech m510 will suffice for now.

I'm sort of glad this was made into a giveaway, to me a flipper-less game ain't exactly the best for a contest although it does give someone who isn't a freakish pinball wizard some kind of chance (Otherwise it'd be a squash match of who is, and I highly doubt a mere aspiring aficionado like myself would be one).

If I had the know how to do so, I'd pretty much make mine in the style of a Zaku II Char Custom (It's essentially the namesake after all). Mainly with a paintjob that makes the case look like it has "red" (It always looked more pink than red) plating and metal tubing like the kind attached to the waist and legs as extra room for cables or watercooling. But it'll remain to be a red and black build with a vague Zeon theme to it if at all.

I don't have any of the parts as of yet for it, me and my uncle are likely going to go to Micro Center sometime to get the bulk of them (Notably the CPU, GPU, SSHD, PSU and likely the monitor).

Mainly red with black and/or goldish-yellow accents, I can settle for black with bits of red since there aren't many good mostly red cases for around $50 that aren't lacking in one aspect or another.

It's not necessarily an upgrade if I don't have parts before, but I'm jumping from Sapphire's 2GB 270X to their 3GB 280 since the latter is only $10 more at my MC. I might also do the same with replacing my i5-4590 choice with a i5-4690K if it's still only just $20 more there (at least if the sale lasts).

I'm looking forward to more budget friendly gaming accessories since not many big gaming accessory makers have them, especially an over-ear headset seeing that I'd like one that matches the rest of my future gear and the cheapest one Tt has costs as much as a Challenger Prime and Talon combined. As far as the parts department I wish there was red variation of one of the Cores although I'm at a loss for not being confident with paint.
 
Although I'm likely in the minority here, I'd also like to see TteSports make a couple controllers (Since this post they made one, but this was mainly for iOS devices which aren't any of my concern). But what I really want is a proper PC equivalent of the Wii Nunchuck or the PS Move Navigation Controller (Split Fish FragFX is the best current thing although it comes with a proprietary mouse) for use as an alternative to the keyboard for FPSes and the like. I'd certainly get it if it doesn't cost too much since using WASD is a tad uncomfortable for me.

I've gotten access to it and played it a while back when The Lost Vikings (I hope there are more Retro Blizzard heroes and maps, Blackthorne and perhaps something from Rock n' Roll Racing would be a good start). My current PC's too weak to run it smoothly (Infinite Crisis is even worse) so I'll wait until my build's done to re-visit it.

240mm for the most part since that's the most by build can fit at the top.

For me it'll likely be a hot-swap drive bay, I will never have enough drives to take up the all the bays in a Core x9 (Which has a crapload of bays that can even fit twice as many SSD's) and I don't need to swap drives at all (Maybe only in the case I'm given a bunch of them to wipe with DBAN) to need them outside of it.
 
I don't really need multiple OSes either since I see no advantage in Mac or Linux versus Windows as far as gaming goes (rather there are significant disadvantages) outside of maybe lighter footprints, and I don't really need to go back to Windows 7 when I have 8.1 Pro installed.

Nah, my Uncle is looking to get me some sort of liquid cooling system (possibly a DIY loop or something similar) for my build anyway from what he told me last week. Even if he doesn't I might get just an air cooler instead.

I got my Water 3.0 Ultimate today (pictured below sitting atop the laptop that's taking the backseat for my build) but I might as well get this off my chest, as I said in my last post the radiator is too big for my case and didn't realize this until after I won it, in fact for it to fit I'd have to go about getting one of the several compatible Full Towers which is a significant price jump (~$50 to well over $100).

Even if size was not a factor an enthusiast-level water cooler for what it goes for would be overkill and not of much use on a non-overclockabe intel CPU like the one I'm getting when Stock is a perfectly viable option. So to put it nicely, I will surely put this towards the purchase of Thermaltake accessories that will be of greater use to me in the future.

I'll be using stock or similar Air Cooling normally since the i5-4590 I'm getting can't be overclocked.
