The Rag Mini 2019/61000 Equal

You need a computer the price of an expensive car to compensate for your... um... yeah. We don't care either.

A overpriced prebuilt - or a fucking airplane?!

You want to fly? Then you can either buy a Crapple Rag Pro for 61k and use it to play a crappy RagOS port of FlightGear, or you can grab these and buy an actual airplane to fly with. Plus, you can still play FlightGear on the computer you just grabbed.

The components used

Now, there’s a few catches here.

  1. You’ll still need to actually PASS your pilots license to fly an airplane.
  2. There are some components that just aren’t on the market yet, so we had to substitute them.

Crapple has, so far, been proven to be the biggest challenge of a prebuilt PC slinger to take on, as they can (and will) lock manufacturers into exclusive contracts. Kind of like a less-than-epic publisher does and gets lots of shit for - and this case is no different. Instead of soldering components into their computers to prevent you from upgrading them yourself, they forced AMD to adapt to their proprietary port for GPUs that you just don’t find. They also use a not-for-individual-sale Intel CPU. Therefore, there are some limitations to this that we can’t (as of 2020) resolve without using other manufacturers, which we try not to for the “equal” builds.
