PC Building Simulator - The first step to AR in the tech classroom?

There's an fun game out there that catches me as a potentially amazing tool for a budding tech to play with the latest PC hardware virtually - PC Building Simulator.

PC Building Simulator has been on Steam for about a year now. At first it was fun but had way too many rough edges. I tried it, it was...ok. Lots of folks also tried it and came up with similar opinions to mine: interesting but not realistic.

I recently tried it again and I gotta tell you, I was impressed. The developers are putting a lot of time making this a better product. Real, brand name, cutting edge hardware. Custom water cooling, BIOS, even individual screws. I'm impressed.

Is it the real thing? Of course not. But it's not a bad tool for a budding tech to at the very least know the order and the parts necessary to make a system boot.

Plus it's also a fun game! Start your own PC shop and build, fix and upgrade systems. Swap out RAM, upgrade graphics cards, even blow out a dirty system with your own can of virtual air! Sweet!

Like I said, it was fun to play. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think.
