Computer Tower Utility Alias.

In relation, we may have to clean up the cpu tag as it can refer to a computer tower (although likely referring to a horizontal case) and a CPU chip.

I read the wiki and... I sure hope we don't use it for that, that makes no sense whatsoever. It's like saying a steering wheel can refer to a car.

As far as I'm aware CPU is what's used for when you let the game itself use its AI to control characters in SSBB for the Wii. (joke but also why did they call it that? "computer played unit"??)

But yeah uh that should be gardened for sure. CPU could maybe be aliased/renamed to "cpu chip" though? (If people want to be pedantic then yes not all CPUs are chips but like. for danbooru's purposes they're probably all going to be chips)

I've never heard CPU used to refer to anything other than the chip itself so the wiki strikes me as not only unhelpful (such a usage just reduplicates what belongs in the computer tower tag) but also very strange.

I think it just needs to be gardened and the wiki updated to refer solely to the chip itself and, and perhaps also the boxes they come in (post #8475796).

Edit: I've gardened out computer towers from the CPU tag, leaving it in place when it's visible through the case, and leaving in the posts containing CPU boxes. There's also one post with a CPU Sticker (post #952312) which I have also left alone.

I'm leaving the wiki alone for now until we decide if we want to alias the tag to cpu_chip or just update the wiki.

Yeah no let's not rename a tag because of some wiki that's completely detached from reality. It's been cleaned up now, so let's just use that tag for what the name implies it should be used for.
