Hello good people of the internet!
 
This is a buildog i'm doing on a homemade 60% mechanical keyboard. I'm doing this build because my current keyboard (BTC 5100C) is starting to fail, and i didn;t want to go out and buy a normal mechanical again. I'd rather just build it myself, so that it is just the way i want it!  
Also the failing of my current board means that typing this buildlog is literal hell, because sometimes random keys just don't register. 
 
Here's the parts list, everything is bought from Aliexpress.
Red means planned
Yellow means bought
Green means delivered at my place
 
Gateron Blue Switches
XD60 PCB
GH60 Solid wood case with wrist rest
LED hotswap plugs
LEDs in different colors
Cool Jazz Black/Gray Keycaps
Cool Jazz CherryMX PCB mounted stabilizers
Braided Mini-USB cable
 
 
So first things first: The Switches arrived! 
I went with Gateron Blue switches because i wanted to try something clicky this time, and these have a nice tactile bump. The compatibility with CherryMX keycaps is also definitely a plus!
I bought this whole bag for about 20 euro's. Definitely worth the 2 week wait before they where delivered

So that is it for now. I'm still waiting on the rest of the parts, but according to the site most of them have arrived in my country by now! I'll keep updating this as parts start rolling in!

Rescale this ?

So I recently purchased the parts for a dedicated video editing rig and I had some leftover money, so my option was to save it or buy another fury X to crossfire with the one I currently have. But then I thought crossfiring really isn't that needed or really even that useful so I decided to give it away, I have not bought it yet the way I'll do it is have you put it on your Amazon wishlist and when you win I'll PM you and then you give me your wishlist Link, so i don't need you don't need to give me address that seems sketchy.(at least I don't think I see your address if I buy you it off your wishlist idk I never did that before) and that way it's sent right to you so any defects are not my fault. 
 
To enter you must have a rig that has a bad GPU or no GPU and a CPU that can handle the card. So just post your rig and why you want it and in 1 week I'll pick the winner and PM them.
 
goodluck everyone.
 
at 4PM on Thursday April, 21st the giveaway will be over and i'll get a mod to lock the thread. after that i will go over all the comments again and then pick the winner by the following monday, so the winner will get messaged anywhere from thursday the 21st to monday the 24th at the latest.
 
EDIT, sorry but i will not pick people who have accounts that are made after this giveaway started that have no other posts other than the comment on this. there has been a few like that and it is more than likely a person making more accounts to try to win. i apologize if you are a real person who just joined. but i WILL be doing more giveaways as time goes on, so be on the lookout for that, (they probably won't be as big as this one tho and not very frequent)
 
READ THIS:
 

i does the youtube lol did this one a couple weeks ago!
 
Specs:
AMD X4 860k
EVGA GTX 770 2Gb
750w PSU (overkill but you get what you can get)
8Gb PNY 1600 RAM
random Toshiba 250Gb HDD
MSI A88XI
clock
 
So it started out getting the parts, which when it was all said and done the running rate of the parts used  and materials was around $525. Most the parts are used except the motherboard. Choosing to find parts among craigslist and ebay can be risky, since the 860k was delivered in a cut up box and had a crap load of bent pins. After bending them back i built the system, and all that jazz to make sure it is running well and then head to Lowes.
Got two 12" x 24" 1" red oak, a large sheet of stainless steel, screws and nuts and bolts.
the video shows how it all is put together. 
if I did it all over again, i would probably find another pci cable to move the GPU over to the right of the board and shorten the overall build. I'll also need to figure out a better mounting solution for the gpu. it's currently just held on with command strips.

Get as much reference R9 290X and GTX 480s I can to make a flamethrower, or maybe even a jet engine.

IT's late and I'm both hungry and tired from shooting Scrapyard Wars (which by the way is an LTT series and will be airing ad-supported on YouTube very soon for your viewing pleasure).
 
But there are a few points to address and you've already been patient enough.
 
I said LMG content would always be free. This was poor wording on my part. There has always been content produced by me and my team that was not necessarily available on a free platform like YouTube.
 
These "The Boost" videos that we make on contract as a sales training resource for Intel, for example:
 
 
 
In much the same way, Vessel has contracted LMG the production company to create an original series for their platform. They bankrolled the whole thing, giving us an opportunity to make something that otherwise would have been too costly, and per the licensing agreement they own the right to exploit this content. It's their show until such time as they decide it's not anymore.
 
We played more of a "production company" role in this than we're accustomed to.
 
This could, and SHOULD have been communicated better, and for that I'm sorry. The community should have heard about this from us FIRST, and not from a random email newsletter, but I've been (and so has the whole team) absolutely busting ass to not only get Nerd Sports produced, but also make sure that we're keeping up with everything else that we've got going on including not having missed a single day of LTT uploads for something like 5 years..
 
With that said, quantity isn't everything, and I've noticed that not everyone has appreciated the LTT content as much as usual lately, but it's hard for me to tell if that's because they don't like our new direction (fewer reviews, and more exploratory or experimental videos) or if they just saw a video or two they didn't like and raised hell in the comment section - it wouldn't be the first time.. And I will say, too, that honestly if a couple of the videos felt rushed then it's probably because they were.. HOWEVER, the primary reason for the rushed videos was  the entire week we're taking off this week to film Scrapyard Wars Season 4, which will be premiering on Vessel sometime in the next few weeks or so, followed by a release on YouTube 1 week later, which is the standard agreement for OUR content that is paid for by LMG or our sponsors.
 
Nerd Sports was shot 40% during evenings and weekends with employees taking time in lieu later on when we hire some more staff or when things slow down a little. We were careful to avoid disrupting any of our other commitments because imo you guys deserve the best we can deliver.
 
Which is another point that was brought up in this thread - "How will LMG keep its commitment to maintain the pace and quality of the other content if they're making Nerd Sports or other contractual content?"
 
We couldn't. We're hiring.
 
I've never shied away from investing in more staff or better equipment or a better facility to make sure that we're doing our best for ourselves, each other, our sponsors and our viewers. If we play our cards right, absolutely everyone wins.
 
Nerd Sports has been a fantastic learning experience for us, and whether we continue the series with Vessel, create other completely different web series in the future, or just say "fudge it" and flip burgers from now on, we'll be able to do those things better than we could have without having done this.
 
So bottom line is this. I screwed up the way I communicated "LMG content", which was meant to be content funded BY Linus Media Group rather than content funded entirely by and licensed to a 3rd party, and I screwed up in a MUCH bigger way the LACK of communication about this project. Sorry guys.

To clarify, this is not a Channel Super Fun series. That was a mistake in their copy. Nerd Sports is its own entity under Linus Media Group, and all future copy will reflect that.

This is a content idea that we had that would not have been possible without external support, and Vessel stepped up to the plate to support its creation.

Official comment will come soon I'm sure...

I have a feeling though that linus may lose a lot of subscribers on vessel this month. The free year ends.

I've found an old beauty. Back in the days I had to replace it with a FX 5500 to play Lego Star Wars...

Yes. Right now the loop is fairly simple, but I'm planning my next build in a CaseLabs Magnum M8A using rigid tubing.

Are you sure 'Littlecarrot' isn't an obvious euphemism?

Well, I like how my friend named his PC "Slave". Because you know....

True, I didn't think about that. I can't imagine how bad 4 cards would be, and we didn't even say anything about power consumption. You'd need Chernobyl to power those flaming monsters.

I don't know if anyone has told you but invading Poland is a short amusment... doesn't last very long...

To me it says I should invest with the hope that Zen and 300x are both extremely successful. Then I can get rich and buy Nvidia GPUs instead
