Yeah they're federally protected unfortunately. Magpies are in the same family I believe.
YA!!!! It'd be like gangs of New York! But you know, like with animals and stuff :P

Experts: Is a (I believe it is this) power supply with coil whine out of the box normal?
I wouldn't put up with it if it's bad. It could be the GPU, pulling that would be the quickest way to confirm.
It might be normal if the power supply is maxed out? Like its normally recommended to get a oversize power supply (like maybe 20-50% bigger than your min requirements). But if your PC requires something like 410 watts, and they cheaped out and made exactly a 410 watt supply that's redlining constantly, maybe it'll hum.
Everyone keeps saying this. Yet, when I've looked around, I'm finding if I was trying to spend $1500 or less, the parts are coming up closer to $1800. I referred to various sites that had builds ranging from $1000-1500 but when I individually looked up the parts, the cost was more than their total.
I just want something that will play current games at good quality. Like Elden Ring, WWE2K22, etc...
So I should just flat out return and be done with this prebuilt? Could third time be a charm? >_>
The other issue I'm having with building my own is I am so it of tune with current tech. I don't know what's a good video card or processor or anything. So many choices.
