Got 70% on a lab final I totally thought I bombed
 

Since I'm home in Chicago that means I get to post from my Linux PC, woohoo
 
too bad the windows 7 install has decided that the PC should be immediately shut down as soon as it loads.

Apparently data for the Ryzen 5 1600 with the wraith stealth is quite scarce? Fortunately it works just fine, as expected.

MRW I wake up and Black Friday sales are already starting 
 
 

Tesla's new Cybertruck looks like something straight off the community workshop for Garry's Mod

I don't usually watch the ROG Reboot videos, but seeing the reception to today's I had to take a look- and oh my god it was worth it
 
That chick is hilarious, I don't think I've laughed more at an LTT video

I will continue buying exclusively tc sunbows until they are no longer the cheapest SSD with dram

Got a client with a budget of $550, made a build for $548.18. Very pleased with myself.

I got a pupper!

I just got a "25$" USD steam code from MSI's review program. But its split up into denominations in New Zealand Dollars and transferred into USD, then into CAD.
 
This is weird right?

Coming together nicely, just have to wait for the GPU and she's good to go. Went with the Corsair CX550 instead of 450 because I snagged a Zotac dual 8 pin model.

Turns out I'll have a second build log coming, another unexpected client showed some interest and I sorted out the payment today. This one will be fun!

I was told I look like Devon Bostick, minus my beard
 

The SSD I ordered from eBay arrived, and still had the windows install that came with it from the OEM machine it shipped in. Lucky to that seller I'm not a data thief, would have been so easy to pull everything off of that.
 
Main benefit: I reset windows to factory settings and got a free Windows key for the PC I'm gonna sell.

Don't have an LGA 115X heat sink? That's fine, pull the fan off a 1366 heat sink and just plop it on there!

 
This motherboard arrived with the CPU socket cover popped off, and there were about a dozen pins bent from shipping! I bent them all back and tossed in some memory, finally got it all to boot. 

I almost feel bad sniping the bid in the last 10 seconds on that RX 570

My brother just had to leave his job early due to an ongoing wildfire
 
The upshot of living in a state as boring as Iowa is that I don't have to worry about dangerous shit like that, just tornadoes!

This is the kind of packaging a $12.99 CPU cooler comes in. Despite the lack of any bubble wrap or cladding, I'm far from disappointed.

Anime AF

Been a long time since I made a PC just for fun, but I got a CPU, mobo, and ram from a friend who wanted it gone so I built it all into a system and put it online just to see what I could get
 

 
Sold it for $500, not a bad price for a haswell i7 and RX 580 gaming machine. I think I'll make another PC with the 6600 and 1050 ti I have lying around.

This marks the second guy who insists $75 is the only fair price for an RX 580 8GB. Sub $100 for a 4GB is rare on eBay, let alone local.

Gotta say, not the biggest fan of windows. Was using my friend's PC and it just shut itself off to update. What Microsoft says goes, I guess.

I looked behind me.
You were not there.
Why have you lied to me?!
WHY??!!?!!?!

Friend shared this gem with me

R9 fury, superb for 144Hz gaming. Just the ticket, a great upgrade from an RX 580, at only $130. I can basically make almost all the money back.

Neat animation shows some of the changes over the Hyper 212 cooler series.
