    Pick up a rx 570 or 580, those are going for $150-180 USD.

    well, reason why it pisses me off is that I have 3.3k hours in blender and for that to happen pisses me off. so yeah

    So this seems like an odd entry or just a bad post but this is so bad that i had to post it
     
    so today i spent most of my day putting my moms old laptop back together after i tore it apart a while ago, so i decided to put it back together. With new thermal paste and a cleaning, it was back together. The display was broken so i just left it off and honestly its way lighter now, it would make a good dos machine though. But anyway. I had to download CineBench 11.5 as the latest wasnt 32 bit. So i ran a test, and i belive i got the worlds lowest CineBench score

    They did send me back the same card, they just flashed the bios, according to matt at xfx (the nicer guy there) did say that the bios on the card was a 380x bios, however going things over in my head, i dont have my pc plugged into the wall but a switch box (some one that was used in banks) that has a lot of things plugged into it, no pcb but it has a fuze, i can try pluggig it straight into the wall when i get home

    Matthewv1998 got a reaction from Xyren in The journey of a custom Rig   
    Hello there! So as we all know, pc cases are the biggest part of our system, it's what holds our components together and what we show off when it sits by the desk or under the tv. There are a lot of cases out there of all shapes and sizes, that support certain things and what not. Sometimes it's hard finding a case that you like or one that won't shatter your budget. So usually there is a comprise of what you like. Usually people just buy the case and move on, dealing with what they could get. Well I didn't settle and I decided (and kind of made this have to happen) a fully custom case.
    so this project started as a bit of a fun thing to do in my architecture class as a "for fun" project that turned serious when I decided not to do a dentists office like the rest of the class, i asked if I could do this and he said yes so here I am designing this case, now goig as far to print it and make it functional. For something in English class called S.O.A.R (basically a career prep program) 
    so, I decided to make a no comprise, pulling out all of the stops, slim form factor Case
    So enter, my purely custom form factor case
    Sagittarius 

    So I started this project around eairly August. I started off by making boxes of components and a motherboard tray and moving them around to see what kind of space I would need. Luckily for accuracy I was able to find a website called Grabcad.com that has a bunch of models of things that I could use, saving the Hasle of measuring everything myself 
    8/09/16, the motherboard tray.
    8/10/16, moving things around, fury, motherboard and psu found on grabcad.com
    So once I found parts in a good configuration I thought was good I found an Xbox one to compare it against
    8/11/16
    it was now about the same widith and depth of an Xbox one, but the hight I didn't like as to me it looked to much like a box and not a console, so I started to move stuff around again until I found a layout that I liked   
    8/12/16
    so I decided to sort of flip everything on it's side, I then added my own model of a corsair h60 and some gtx 1070 model and I ditched the full psu for a silverstone sfx modular unit. (450w is what I will most likely get)  But after some tinkering and time passing I found the layout I liked and am still on 
    8/30/16

    i flattened it out, putting things on its side and adding intake fans (80mm) as well as my storage (3.5" and a 2.5" drive) now that I found the layout I liked it was onto the hard part, all of the tiny details
    9/7/16
    this here is about where it is at now in terms of layout, & squashed the case down a bit, made an i/o hole in the wrong spot but added a buch of fan holes for the 80mm fans
    9/12/16more details, made all of the fan holes for the 6 80mm fans in the front, mounting holes for the corsair h60 and mounting and vent holes for the sfx power supply then I worked hard up until this point where I am still not done but this is where I am now
    9/22/16
    i made a front fascia for the case as well as the panels, I made a opening for the optical drive as well as Sagittarius next to it with the Amd logo (I plan to have Bristol ridge with an Rx 480 in this, green was just so I could see the part) as of right now, the case measures 494mmX404mm, but I am still far from done as I still have to make more mounting holes, feet, I/O, finish the panels, print it, assemble it and then finally, build it and make it my second rig. So feel free to follow this post on the journey to Sagittarius.

    Thats what i use my xfx 380 for. 1080p oc'd 10%~ usally, my 7870k holds it back more then anything but for all the games i own its handled anything ive thrown at it.

    Little update! Nearing my final design of my pip-boy!
    Ive added two photos of the frame for the screen with and without the visior. 
    The screen frame is made for a 5inch touch screen display as the whole pip-boy is 6 inches long and 5 inches deep, i plan to power the whole devise with a 2.5 amp 5v portable charger (hopefully over 10,000mah) and have windows 10 on it with around 64gb of storage. 
     
     
    So lately, being the big fallout geek that i am i wanted to get the anniversary edition of fallout 4 (sadly i didnt) but once i learned how crap that the anniversary edition pip-boys were (Ontop of only holding a phone). I wanted to make my own with the power of a desktop and thats when i stumbed onto the raspberry pi 2, small, powerful and being able to be powered by a portable charger. So ive been designing and now ive stumbed onto a design that ive made to fit a 5 inch touch screeen and a hopefully 10-16,000 mAh portable charger. And as of now i think ive settled on a desgin i like. 
    Right now i've printed a 1/4th scale of the full model

    So i installed my WD purple drive that i got back from WD today and ive stumbled across something i did NOT expect while checking bios updates for my motherboard.
    i found a new F9 version and decided to check what it would do and it said "carrizo support" And a amd a10 8750 apu still on the godavari platform. Maybe this be the closest thing to zen on the fm2/fm2+ platform?!
