Cheers everyone, bought the Vega 64 LC. I have a 30 day return period anyway + 2 year warranty. If anyone is in a similar situation wants any benchmarks or anything just ask. Running: Ryzen 2600x B350 Tomahawk, 3200mhz Kingston predator ram Vega 64 LC, 1000w EVGA GQ.

This is a really interesting development, and sort of hilarious. Vega Finewine may actually come to fruition due to Nvidia's push towards DX12 and Vulcan. A month ago with the Vega prices/1080 prices + pre Turing I would have gone for the 1080 without a thought. Now its getting a little interesting and less obvious. I suspect the Vega may also keep its value due to its compute capabilities and equally worry that a 1080 may cliff edge in resale value because of its average use in other applications.

Thanks. A 1080 is about more £70 with an average cooler. But will definitely think about it.

Just seen a second hand Vega 64 LC Silver for £400/$520 with a 2 year warranty. It is about £150/200 cheaper than any good aftermarket 1080TI in the UK. I do have a Freesync 4K monitor and a 1000w Evga GQ power supply - so I can run it fine. Simple question is.. is this worth it? It does look damn fine, like an old sony minidisk player - but thats not enough right?

haha blame it on the deathwatch beetles

Do it. Just for the grumpy Harrison

yeah some of those are mechanical, some are not. Is it any good?

ha for some reason the keyboard reminded me of Bladerunner - why I bought it in the end.

I just came across this Olivetti keyboard on eBay, one forum described it as a very good rubber dome and competes with mechanical in some instances. I was wondering if anyone else has had an experience with this or a similar old mechanical/good rubber domed keyboard. One interesting thing about this keyboard is that the space bar and front keys slant forward. My research: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Olivetti_ANK_27-102_N https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=19277.0 I know it sounds stupid but if anyone wants a review or something I'd happily do it. Cheers.

i suppose I was saying that you could buy a cheap but good case and paint it. Making it look nice and having more money to spend on the components inside.

I was looking at this car by Hockney and wondered if anyone has painted their case. Please share your examples. Thanks.

Completely true. Yes and no. A single 1060 or 1070/460 would be better matched to a 2600k than the Pentium. But wait for Ryzen if you can. 2600k is better processor and can be overclocked. But to get more out of it a noctua cooler or equivalent would be needed. The 2600k has 4 cores and 8 HT threads, this may help in the future.

If you don't mind second hand you could find a 2600k and overclock it. (Could be really cheap if you get a mobo and cpu bundle on ebay - from a trusted seller with a proper returns policy).

Taxidermy case
