  1. I'm up from the high 500's to 412! My electric bill will hate me this month, but the weather's cooling down so maybe my AC won't use as much and it'll balance out
  2. it's not a whole lot these days but I've got my dual RX480's and R7 1700X on it! I've also got a Precision T5500 and Precision T5600 to decommission at work and I'll probably get those folding too
  3. If it is Intel / x86 then you should be able to load them up with a 32-bit copy of Ubuntu. You may find that http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ is a good bootloader for you
  4. 2 Desktops, 1 CPU I'm not a baller like Linus is, so I'm not doing anything crazy like setting up 5+ gaming rigs in one box, but I do want to use Linux more and still be able to game at full-tilt without rebooting. I'm planning a Ryzen system (at least 6 core/12 thread and at least 32 GB RAM), and I want to use Linux as my primary OS. I am not an entirely boring person, though, and I want to game in a VM either hosted by a Linux OS or have a primary Linux VM and a Windows VM hosted by unRAID. I'm planning on passing through SSD storage and a graphics card to the Windows system while using another graphics card and SSD with my Linux OS. I have some Linux experience, and I'm willing to learn how to set this all up on, say, a Fedora host, but I also want something stable that won't take forever to get working correctly. I'd like to use Linux as my OS mainly, but I'd also like to easily switch into my Windows VM when I want to game and then exit back to my Linux guest for regular desktop usage.
  5. As far as peripherals are concerned, I've got a Razor Blackwiddow Chroma, a Logitech MX Master, no mouse mat, and a pair of Bose AE2W (before the sound link rebrand) bluetooth headphones (which I could use as wired headphones, but they sound weaker and dust gets in the connector and my wire is really finicky). I could use a good wired mouse and an upgrade to my cans. I'm happy with the keyboard I've got now, but I'd love to try more. If I don't win the kit (or anything), I'll likely just get a deskmat from Tek Syndicate's store because their designs are cool and the products hold up well.
  6. This would be great for my dorm. Big white walls in the living space with nothing to put there.
  7. I just tried it for the bottled Soylent and it gave me that same error. Anything we can do? I've been wanting to try Soylent, but I've never had it before and I'm not sure I'll even like it. A 20% discount sent me to their website and I was ready to give them money, but unfortunately, the code didn't work. Turns out it's for subscriptions only.

  9. I'd get an on-hub router (either model, though the Asus one looks nicer) for my parents who have a Cisco EA4500 router which gives them (and therefore me) trouble all the time. It fails under the load of streaming Netflix to our smart TV and all they know how to do to fix it is turn it off and on again which only works sometimes now. What they need is a router they can understand. My parents understand the ins and outs of smartphone usage well enough to use the app to prioritize speed to certain devices and trigger a reboot of the router. It also looks a lot better, so we'll be able to place it in a more central location in the house rather than relegating it to the network room in the basement.
