    Hey everyone!
    Just wanted to get the mod log started for our newest case mod!  It won’t be anything super crazy just a simple themed “Pay it Forward” mod for my mother.
    BACKGROUND
    My mother was always encouraging and supportive in my gaming growing up and to this day still plays Everquest(15 years later…).  Because of this, I am transplanting her computer guts into a Nanoxia CoolForce 1 Tempered Glass edition case.  Thankfully Nanoxia is sponsoring the case, fans and LED strips to make this a reality.

    So as we continue down this journey, help me celebrate a belated birthday/retirement/Mother’s Day gift.
    CONCEPT
    The front panel of the case will have the EQ logo in lavender and a vinyl decal shot of her halfling druid.

    The glass side of the case will be frosted with the druid logo.  Her main character’s name on the custom PSU shroud.

    If we can manage to get the wood and hardware, upgrading her gaming workstation is a priority as her small desk does not have the storage to handle her crafts and computer.  So I did up a concept for a desk that would provide her with all the organization she would need.



    WARNING!!! SPOILER!!
    Here’s the final before and after of the build and her gaming station.  Feel free to read through the forums to see how we accomplished this!

    While the Hub 2 looks pretty intriguing and probably has quite a few use cases, I'm finding the song in the video even more appealing haha.

    During a power-cut when I was a kid I pushed a candle back from the edge of the kitchen worktop so it wouldn't fall off... and happened to put it right under the curtain which promptly caught fire. Just as well I was next to the sink.
     
    IN the lab once I'd been using a mixture of dry ice and acetone as a coolant for something. When I had finished I figured I'd degas the acetone using the sonic bath. I hadn't taken into account how much carbon dioxide had dissolved in the acetone. The second I turned on the bath a column of fizzing acetone shot up to the ceiling. Spectacular, but not the smartest thing I've ever done.

    For me that would be pouring a bucket of water on my dad's laptop when he said it was overheating. I was only 6 at the time

    Sadly I'm a console player for this title, but best thing to do to grind the levels is the milestones and grinding out Public events really....
     
    Based on experience in playing the raid Hunters are good for buffing damage output, Titans for rally shield (instant reload), and then many classes can do add clearing if need be.

    So after Sony updating their warranty yesterday Nintendo has followed suit
    Nintendo issued the following statement on the matter
    The warranty has been updated from
    To

    2 down, 1 to go. I like how their statement makes it sound like they did it as a favour to customers, no mention of the FTC or the letter.

    dont mix Zen+ with Ryzen + as Zen+ is Ryzen 2. Zen is Ryzen 1. Zen 2 is Ryzen 3.

    This went from "fishing" (presumably for fish) to finding someone to love, to then ?becoming? THE fish and starting a family?

    autonomous vehicles ate becoming a thing due to the increase population of drivers on the road and the now increasing incidents caused be careless driving and or being distracted by your device while driving. Autonomous vehicles are to be more safer than manual driving as it will be CONSTANTLY checking surroundings and altering speed, steering and other functions to prevent accidents. Among this Autonomous cars STILL require a person behind the wheel as it will return to normal piloting mode if something urgent happens of system failure, so they won't be fully autonomous (thank god) But they are coming as for data collected by road incidents. these are to reduce congestion on roads as they will communicate to one another and keep traffic flowing and congestion to a minimal if lucky,
     
    I short autonomous vehicles are coming because we humans have failed to prove time and time again that we are capable of doing something without being retarded. Hence why these vehicles are coming, why androids are in the pipeline on taking over our jobs etc. We fuck up too much to be trusted.
