Every 5 or so years I upgrade my PC. My 3080ti is great, but I'm probably going to upgrade in the next couple years. As my streaming takes off, my current PC alone can't stream AAA games. My next build I would like to mount under my standing desk's top. I have access to a workspace, a little more than basic tools (table saw, drill, miter saw etc). But I don't have a CNC or 3D printer or anything like that. Has anyone attempted something like this? Currently I have my PC attached to the leg of my desk, which is where I'd like to keep it, while spreading components of the new build under the desk. But yeah, if you've ever considered it, or even done it, what was your experience? was it worth it? is it performant? How are thermals? thanks!

I have an old 4690k and 1070 build, but I think the motherboard or CPU went bad.. I replaced everything in the build except the mobo/cpu combo with known good/new parts. So it has to be one of those two elements, and I'm leaning on the it being the motherboard. I don't know if you've looked recently (why would you have?) but the LGA1155 (iirc) socket type motherboards floating around out there are either a) too expensive to justify or b) not suited to my needs (PCI availability, RAM limitations). Speaking of needs, what I need this 2nd PC for is to be my OBS PC for streaming. I feel like I still have a good PSU and GPU (1070) for running dual PC streaming setup. What I want to know is what mobo/cpu combo (I have a case) would be a good pairing, or if it's viable to just look for an old workstation and plop a GPU in. I think someone I know owns an angle grinder. Anyway, if the fact this build is from 2017 says anything, I've been out of the loop for a while. My current PC is some i9 with a 3080ti. I'm happy with the performance when I'm not streaming, but I use a lot of nested scenes and effect filters for my stream on OBS. This is leading to dropped frames and my time to render a frame is pushing 15ms. If I turn off effects I can achieve an manageable render time (<10 ms). Anyway thanks. I used to love going thru PCpartpicker or ebay listings to help people with builds, I hope there's still a few people out there who are like I was.

So I've been sitting in an $89 knock off racer gaming chair for almost 10 years at this point. It's got 1inch of the cheapest foam on the seat, hard plastic arm rests and 0 features. What I'm looking for is a chair that's comfortable to sit in for long streaming sessions. I would prefer a leg rest, recline and moveable arm rests. I like to play guitar and right now I switch to a chair that has no arms to do so. I'm in the US and my upper limit is $500 but I'm not firm on that. I would like to spend a lot less, but I'm willing to invest in something less glamorous because I use it 6+ hours a day. Also don't worry, I have a standing desk I stand sometimes too. Thanks!

I gave my gf my old note 10+ because she was using a cheap, slow Samsung phone. She likes it but the battery is quite old at this point. What are some good options, while staying with Samsung, that have comparable performance? I'm not looking to spend too much. I have 0 experience with anything Samsung outside of the Note, and Z fold phones. How are the FE or A series, in terms of performance compared to an aging flagship?

I was considering a laptop but ultimately ended up going with an ROG ally x and a dock. Have you considered an handheld?

I have a logi keyboard mouse combo: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6366562.p?skuId=6366562&sb_share_source=PDP But it doesn't work literally 85% of the time. I've been dealing with it for a year, it just doesn't work. Does anyone have experience with wireless mini keyboard? Something with a track pad is preferred. I need for my living room to use with my ROG ally X in docked mode. I don't need to be good for gaming on, just navigation and light typing. I see a lot of these on Amazon, but I'm wondering if anyone has actually used these and if they're worth it. Thanks

Yeah I use a 42 inch 120hz LG OLED for my monitor Yep! Techmoan! The price was even lower than the video I knew it was my last chance.

I have a focusrite 18i8 1st gen. I ordered a Kanto Syd. I plan to just use a 1/4in to RCA cable to hook it up. I'll go from the rear monitor outputs on my interface to the RCA inputs on the speaker. I'm also grabbing a dual 1/4 to single 3.5mm for my later use as well. That should just work, provided I set up the right mix in software? Thanks. Here's a link to what I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NXTR7RJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Speaker: interface:

So I have an old 1070 just gathering dust from my old PC build. I have replaced my secondary PC with an ROG Ally X. So I'm wondering if it will make much of a difference if I get an EGPU dock for my ally x. The most demanding game i play natively on my ally is probably Valhiem. Docked it's pushing sub 30 fps after all my mods. Anyone with experience with eGPU? Any recommendations? Is this GPU even going to make a difference? If not, what can do I with an old GPU? my 4690k is probably still good, but my motherboard is shot, and old socket gaming grade mobos are hard to come by it seems.

im kinda of stupid because i have seen those before. But i was like 'that's not enough outlets' .. but can I just plug like, little 4-6 outlet power strips into each socket? i know not the limits of the US power system XD

So I have a LOT of game consoles hooked up to my TV downstairs, but I currently am looking to add an AV receiver and speakers to the set up. Problem is, I already have a 12 socket strip on one side, and a 6 on the other side and I still have to unplug the lamp to charge my newly added ROG Ally X. What I'm looking for a power strip or set up that allows me to power down the devices I use less often, while leaving them plugged in. Anyone use something like this ? Or know of a better way to go about having all these devices in play at once? I have: PS2, 3 and 5, PS Vita Dock, Switch Dock, Wii U and Gamepad charger, Xbox One S, a plant light, TV, Ethernet Switch, Record Player, ROG Dock, HDMI splitter, and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting something too. I have decided I need an AV receiver for these things, so that's another plug. And I think I'll be going with studio monitors as the speaker solution, so that there is 1/2 plugs too. I'd like to have at most half of those things powered. I don't use all of them all the time, but I want to have access to them when I want to play them. Thanks! EDIT: I am in the USA, my preferred retailer is Walmart, but they kinda suck so I am willing to go anywhere else

would love my room to be cooler, but i game in the 3rd floor loft, all the heat just rises up here. I would like to take better care of my pc, so in short I want my cpu/gpu to be cooler

i actually just looked and the 3 case fans aren't spinning, the GPU and AIO fans are tho, they're screaming

do you have a good tutorial for that?

I have a very hot room, and when playing Minecraft with shaders, or Valheim at all, the PC puts out a LOT of heat. This is the PC that I have: POWERSPEC G469: https://www.microcenter.com/product/640630/G469_Gaming_PC;_Intel_Core_i9_10th_Gen_10850K_36GHz_Processor;_NVIDIA_GeForce_RTX_3080Ti_12GB_GDDR6X;_32GB_DDR4-3200_RAM;_1TB_Solid_State_Drive;_Micro I have added a single, tiny fan near the CPU as an output, but that hasn't helped much. I will reply or attach a pic of the set up
