Case reviews, but round-up style (similar to "best *blank* under *price*"). Something like: "Best full/mid/mini/cube/itx cases"
 
Extensive testing on drive speed and reliability. Comparing HDDs, SSHDs, SATA SSDs, and NVMe SSDs for a variety of workloads and use cases to determine whats best for what. For example, NVMe vs SATA SSDs for boot drive/gaming/scratch disk. Could throw in optane or primocache for HDDs as well, don't forget pricing and value. But idk if this would be worth doing/if you've already done something like this.

Newest member of the collection. Perhaps getting to see the road again soon with the smell of rain on the horizon.

Exposed copper traces, boot it up and see if it works
 
If it works then hust cover the traces with something like electrical tape, liquid tape, pretty much anything that will protect them from damage

Arctic Freezer 34, Silentiumpc Fera 5 or id-cooling se224xt are about 30€ and plenty for 5600X. Deepcool AK620 or Scythe Fuma 2 are premium options for about 60€ that handle 5950X.

Gave the Corolla it's first pressure wash, and gave the new wheels a good cleaning. 

I also swapped from cheap no-name halogen bulbs to some nice Alla LED fog lights on my daily driver. The difference is night and day, almost literally 🙂

they both will be running rx 480 8gb, then upgraded to a 3060 ti, my brother will suffer erformance because of pcie 3 but then we will be equal, i do more workloa crap so the ryzen 2700 might go to me instead of him.

im looking, i see a 2700 $200 buy it now, no auction for a 2700 non x, ill oc obviously, and get a b450 motherboard since they are cheap asf, and gonna make my brother a itx build, if staff could move this to builds and planning that would be nice

thx for fuking tellling me $100 board, dont worry, i know i might be losing value, but literally anything better than my dads amd a6-5400k or my old i7-2600s,  consider a win win. its not like im gonna be like, ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 12K 512HZ OLEd, no, the best graphics ive seen with my eyes are oled preview at costco, at home 1080p xbox one x, my old rig that disapeared only ran like 720p low setttings. 

see ye, i also want the pc to actually last, and i just looked at the i7-7820x, for some dam reason its $220

Thanks for the airbox tip. I already joined the forums there, and they've been helpful. More than I can say for the Prius forums and RX-7 forums....

Meet the $280 1995 Toyota Corolla DX
I saw it listed on Facebook marketplace and just had to take a look. Poor car was going to get scrapped for what the previous owner assumed was the clutch starting to go out.
 
The actual problem? Someone serviced the car at some point and did not re-mount the charcoal canister and fuel filter properly, so they were clattering around and getting smacked by the shift linkages. 
 
Of course, the car also ended up needing other work too. Driver's side front wheel bearing was starting to go out, causing weird noises when turning right. I also replaced the driver's side CV axle since it was old af, and the passenger side axle has been replaced at some point. Beyond that, I have just cleaned it inside and out, new tires, and caught up most of the maintenance. Last big ticket item is coolant. Then we can start thinking about upgrades and mods.
 
I'm probably going to auto cross this thing. Its cheap, and pretty fun for what it is. However, the stock economy tuned motor is very not performance ready. The power/torque curve is garbage, and you have to short shift to get anything out of it; which I fear might suck in auto cross. It'll be fine at first to learn with, but I was thinking about sticking to my roots and going with a rotary swap; would be great for auto cross since rotaries like being at high rpms and you're always in low gear. But we'll see. I could also get 4AGE heads and make a 7AGE, do some fuel system work and get a standalone.

My coworker finally drove his supercharged Z32 to work again. Needless to say, its much faster than my 7. Makes roughly 300 wheel, but has not been dyno tested; it was already built when he bought it.

Ford: Here's the Bronco!
Buyers: We want 7 speed Manual on bigger Engines and Sasquatch packages
Ford: No
Buyers: *Put wallet away*

Buyers: *okay maybe*

Hello. I have been off the forums for a little while, but now that I know this thread exists I might check back more frequently? Who knows. 
 
I own a 2009 Toyota Prius and a 1983 Mazda RX-7. I like both. I also have plenty of stories to tell.

(This is an old photo, but one of the better ones I have of both cars)
