Not as bad as being out on my bike in winter....

Your flaw here is that we are talking about kids, who by their nature are impressionable and less likely to be able to stop themselves being distracted.

My goodness, the teachers had enough trouble getting us to focus WITHOUT phones.

My father believes she emits some sort of electromagnetic field when emotional. Apparently she managed to kill 3 alternators in my dad's car in the first 3 months of them dating. He claims to have resolved the issue by making her wear a ground strap attached to the car body.
 

Trust me the first time you see an argument about vaccination your faith in the average ability of the human race to understand even basic science will take a serious hit.

I don't know about the others, but yeah, the itch is real. Mine usually doesn't get very strong until a year or so has passed. I've been using tricks to sooth that itch for a while though since my 6600k build.
 
It was in a large mITX case with a GPU that, technically was too long. Replacing the GPU with a 1070, which normally would be a simple operation required a bit of research to find a card that wasn't over-tall or any longer that what I had, and the actual replacement had some interesting moments. Getting that back up was a very itch soothing moment.
 
Next I replaced the case with something even smaller, with an AIO CPU cooler. Again, researching what was available that would fit my components. That when surprisingly smooth. (After I removed the protective film from the CPU cooler, that is.)
 
Now, my next build is on the horizon with Ryzen 3.
 
TL;DR
Itch management is a requirement.

Nah, you can if you really want to but you'll be alright. If you wanna be careful about ESD, plug in your PSU while you work and touch it occasionally (to ground yourself) or just touch something metal (that isn't a pc part)

Or a firmware update fails ... leading to a new definition of bricking your toilet.

CPU: Zilog Z80 @3.58 MHz
Graphics: Texas Instruments TMS9928A
 
This was a Coleco Adam

Would rather buy one that's been gamed on. If someone has mined with it, then it's likely been sitting at 100% load for hours, days, weeks etc. on end, while one that's been gamed on would have had a lighter load that isn't 24/7 and likely in better conditions if we assume the mining card was in a system with multiple GPUs. 

(Never been down this far in ltt, didn't know there was a build log section. Didn't find it using the search feature either. So here I go again.)
 
In an effort to appease my current itch to assemble a new computer I decided to 'side-grade' my current (i5 6600K) machine by transferring it into a smaller case. (From a Corsair 250d to a Cooler Master Elite 130)
 
I watched the official Cooler Master YouTube video showing a AIO cooled system and the funky way the drives attach. Commentary said that there would be more than enough room for a push/pull setup on a front 120mm radiator having a 3.5" drive on the floor, so the side drive bracket could be removed. Since the air cooler that I had was too tall, I went with the Cooler Master Masterliquid 120.
The MB transferred over flawlessly, of course. Assembling and mounting the AIO was also very easy, given the thumbscrews used to mount the fans.
The 3.5" HDD, on the other hand did not fit in the designated area, even after removing the two lower thumbscrews on the inner fan. I had to re-mount the side drive bracket and use the upper mounting location for the drive, since the lower location impacted the AIO's hoses.
 
Next was moving my two slim ODDs, in the appropriate 5.25->2x slim ODD adapter, using the tool-less mount mechanism on the case, the GTX 1070, and the modular PSU.
It's amazing just how long the cables actually are and I thought several time, 'How am I supposed to cram all this into that? This case, however, allowed the cables to be folded against each other and moved out of the way to the sides so that there is a clear(ish) tunnel from the fans to the rear of the case. This is the first case that, from the get-go I honestly cared about cable management since none before had been a showcase or were so da[r]ned small. (Even the 250d had plenty of room below the main chamber to shove all the cables into after the fact.)
 
It looks very good, and after messing with fan curves (upward) has acceptable fan noise, meaning for me almost none at 4'.
 
Immediately after the build, however I noticed the CPU temps under a 10 min CPU-z stress test, were much higher than I expected, not dangerous though, simply disappointing. Normal operations were cool enough so I didn't worry about it too much. The next afternoon I smacked myself since I could not remember removing the plastic from the cold-plate of the AIO. After 20 years, I finally made that mistake.
 
Temps dropped 15C when that was corrected.

guess my most recent work was done on Northern Bee, so "a god damn mess" pretty much summs it up  

All of my previous builds have been in solid cases except for my latest, but the window is in an inconsequential area that you would have to go out of your way to view. Nothing that I have had in the computer had LEDs except for POST codes.
 
My current kb & mouse have it but with very muted colors.
 
What I'm thinking for my next major build will be more of a display piece so some lighting will be in it.

Q4 is our busy season. We're in a business where if we don't act on something quickly, we lose the opportunity. I make no apologies for the way we operate as a business - we have a responsibility to the employees that we have here to do what is best for their current quality of life and future prospects within the organization. If that means delaying a case airflow dust test in favor of something like the Renault video (which was by far one of the best videos we've done this year IMO) then that is the decision that I am going to make every time.
 
If we thought that there was some expiry date on the relevance of the content here then of course we would have created it by now. The result is the same whether we create the video on December 8, December 30, January 20, or February 5.
 
Have patience, you'll get what you're looking for  

Oooohhhhh!
 
I'm so triggered right now.

I typically get the itch for a major upgrade every few years, hence I marked 3 years. To make it 'worth it' to me I try and change the themes.
 
Before my current machine, that was silence. Everything was passively cooled except for the PSU. Worked pretty good for a while, at least for me then I switched to larger monitors (2 x 1440p instead of 2x 1920x1200) and the GPU could no longer keep up, but the CPU was still passively cooled.
 
My current machine was my first mITX and while I could have gone with a smaller case I still want at least one optical drive so I built it in a Corsair 250D ... That was 3 years ago.

More like, "unless its 120fps w/gsync 1ms response, the game is LITERALLY unplayable". The amount of people that cannot play at 60 blows my mind. 

That may trigger tech fans but I can guarantee it fixes a hell of a lot stuff from my experience in tech support.

We need more competition from AMD .

This entire thread.
 
At least the last guy that replied to me understands.

The first case I built in was a steel beige AT desktop. I had a 15" monochrome monitor (later updated to EGA) and a beige keyboard. I added a joystick later for games.
 
As for pictures most desktop cases in 89 looked the same.

The current still of the channel super fun channel video NEEDS to be changed. Having something that looks realistically like a firearm should not, ever be pointed at your own head, the head of another, or any other part of a person or animal, and have anything like FUN directly associated with it.
 
Even if they are airsoft pistols this is an irresponsible image.

I grew up around firearms. Pistols and rifles, muzzle loaders and cartridge. I fired them all and had good experiences on the ranges with my parents and brothers. Even was taught the proper way to clean and maintain the firearms themselves. Never treated them like toys because they weren't.
 
While in the military, basic training also disabuses people from thinking that weapons are toys, at least my DIs did.
 
That was a stupid image.

Airsoft events are one thing. That image, with the association of FUN, is wrong. (Paintball and airsoft events can be fun, pictures of realistic looking pistols pointing at ones head saying fun, isn't)
