    Closer up of the new wheels on the R33. The rotors and calipers look horrible behind them! Just waiting for the new rotors & pads to arrive from DBA, and will rebuild & powder coat the calipers.

    The new NRG steering wheel setup. NRG Short Hub (modifed), NRG Gen 2.8 Diamond Cut Quick Release & NRG 3" Deep Dish Neochrome wheel with Alcantara
     


     
    And just today I found this big box under a load of crap while tidying the garage. Completely forgot to fit my Driftworks lower control arms zzz. 
    So I *might* do those this week...though I just had my alignment done...so maybe ill wait until after i get the underside re-sealed.

    Here’s my suggestion:
     
    First, you should take a chunk of your after-expenses income and invest into a well diversified investment portfolio (the specifics of the profile largely depend on your risk tolerance, age, and what the purpose of the savings are - long term vs short term for example). 
     
    I would use the above method for retirement savings (RRSP or your nations equivalent, TFSA, etc). I would also have a second portfolio similar to the first, for longer term non-retirement savings (basically saving for large purchases like a house down payment, car, etc). 
     
    Now, what about actual direct stock investment? Well, sure! But make sure you plan accordingly. I would suggest now you take a small additional amount of leftover money that you can afford to lose, and use that to fund direct investing.
     
    I use a platform called Wealthsimple for my investment portfolio, and their corresponding app Wealthsimple Trade for direct stock investing. 
     
    For direct stocks, as long as you research the companies and make sure they look like they will be able to weather the current covid crisis. 
     
    Personally I own some stocks in companies I like. I also make preference for domestic stocks to support my national economy. And I also look at stocks that typically pay a regular dividend (basically a payment of the companies profit that goes to stockholders). 
     
    Most importantly, don’t put your money all in one type of stock. Diversify!

    Only the LEDs have positive and negative, are you unable to tell which ways those go in?

    ^See above
     
    The plus +/- stuff only matters on the LED connections (oh and speaker, I guess if you use that )
    Depending on the AIO you have, it probably plugs in the CPU fan header and maybe into a SATA power port.

    I ordered this Moto G8 power in blue (the black model is uggo) on the 17th of March and I just got it 1 hour ago! I know there are "better" phones for the money. But the large screen, 5000 mAh battery and stereo speakers make me grin like an idiot. 
    UPDATE: I have been playing with the G8 power for hours. So far so good. I love the screen and speakers. I am most surprised by the headphone jack. It's shockingly good! I never thought that a throwaway budget beater phone could have a decently competent DAC!

    Philps OneBlade Face & Body kit:

    It comes with the two blades (one for face the other for Body, the latter one just has a yellow plastic thing so you don't cut yoruself), 1,2,3 and 5 mm attachments, a plastic cover and a yellow special attachment. The OneBlade itself has a 1 hour battery and should recharge in four hours (I'm charging it rn so that I can try it out tomorrow in the shower)

    Also has probably the best digital pre-amp aswell. 0 loss due to it being 35 bit, not 24 or anything else.
     
    Also, direct-digital refers to it's topology being essentially fully digital from input to output, as its PWM.

    I actually really like it but here is what I would do.
     
    Switch the cooler for a NZXT X52 or something similar
    Downgrade the mobo to the MSI x570 MPG Gaming Edge Wifi
     
    The price difference will give you better temps and available space in your case.
     
    GPU is best bang for the buck IMO based on reviews and price vs performance.

    Beef Boss reacted to LIGISTX in New build plan seeking overview   
    I like the build, but why such an expensive mobo? You could spend about 100 less and take that 100 and get a better GPU... That mobo is very overkill. Nothing wrong with it, but, thats a lot of money for a mobo.

    I have a certain laptop I use to install ISO's and to only install ISO's,not the one with the virus. I did get an AV and it did remove it... Lol.
    @LogicalDrm
    Yes, I am creating boot able drives to install the operating system on a separate ssd/hard-drive. I have tried updating Rufus and since the update it's had issues, I tried running the older versions from 2017 where I know work very well and they have the same issue. I'll try etcher, thank you, and get the newest ISO's if they've been updated in the last few months...

    Beef Boss reacted to The_russian in ISO installer   
    OP is talking about burning ISOs to a drive, not mounting them.
     
    Edit: By the way I also use Rufus, not sure how you managed to get a virus but I would try to uninstall and reinstall it to try to get Rufus to work.
