Getting back into doing models again.
Wanted a Liger Zero for a long time.  Now, to also later get the three CAS versions of the bugger too.
 

With shipping cost to/from and the cost of the desolder/resolder of the switches, it'll be cheaper to just get a soldering iron and suction pump. Just take your time.

MS has had multiple contracts with the Military in 2015, 2016 ,2018 and 2019. This is nothing new.

Definitely not old compared to other stuff here but nonetheless, it's old by today's standards. Sorry for the overexposed pics, wanted to show the insides of the PC. Friend's coworker's old PC. Gave it to him when he upgraded to a Macbook.

Weirdo time, ION x ai03 Equinox, built with very old Cherry MX Blacks:

I type with a variation of the Colemak layout, hence the weird position of the '?/' key. Also, Caps Lock is my Backspace. Keys to reflect the actual layout are still on their way.
 

@jonnyGURU is probably my favorite. Given his long history in the PSU industry, he has a WEALTH of knowledge that he is not afraid to share. I also love, and highly respect that, even though his job is what it is, He's not afraid to comment and give you honest opinions on competitors products either. His head is in the right space I believe in wanting to make sure people have the right information, and not just by pushing his products to the front of the line. It seems his overall goal is to help educate us and pass on that knowledge he has to the end consumer, which is not very common, especially in the tech industry when a lot of things are kept so closely to the chest. 

Favourite is probably the wrong word, but I'd say the ones I respect the most are @leadeater @Delicieuxz and @LAwLz

WOAH.
 
im suprised

Not including all the PC parts that are slowly trickling in... my recent big purchase: 2020 Tacoma TRD 🙂 Is definitely fun to drive... way too many features though lol.

Don't give 2021 any ideas

My new gaming build
 
Case - Phanteks P400A
Fans - 2x Noctua NF-A14 black
            1x Noctua NF-F12 black
Motherboard - Asus B550-F
CPU - Ryzen 5 5600X
CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D15s
Ram - 16gb Corsair 3600mhz
Storage - 2TB Patriot Viper M.2
GPU - EVGA FTW3 Ultra RTX 3080

The PSU extensions are on the way, I know the stock ones don't look great.
 
 

After pretty much doing 13 hour days, 7 days a week for this full past year, I've decided to buy something other than audio gear. Surprise surprise, Derkoli not buying speakers.
 
After being a Porsche fan boy since I was 13~ I decided I wanted a Porsche. Ideally, I would have a 956C, but that's a bit out of my reach.
 
I decided on this 1969 911 E 2.0 LHD
 

 
Unfortunately, it sold before I could reserve it.
 
So I went off and tried to decide on something else, and finally picked a 2020 911/992 Turbo S with bits and bobs on it.
 
I tried balancing having more track/lightweight-oriented extras and comfort options, and I think I was fairly successful.
 
Main options I picked were the "Lightweight Package w/ 18 way seats" and "Sport Package"
 
Also got it in Crayon colour, as I think this is my favourite car colour as of right now.
 
The one main feature I wanted on any somewhat low car was a front axle lift system, which is needed for boarding the Torpoint Ferry which I use quite often to commute to work.
 



 
She's very pretty, if I do say so myself.
 
Not the most practical thing and most likely won't be driven on a track anytime in the near future, but I've bought it to enjoy myself, nothing else.
 
I think the most I'm going to enjoy it is on the A374 road between Torpoint and Marsh Mills, It's a fairly famous piece of road for motorbikers in the UK.
 
Still pretty silly that my main pair of speakers are worth more than this car.
 
Link to the full specs, for anyone interested 🙂

Now I just have to wait for 16-20 weeks for it to be ready, and I'm officially nearing bankruptcy. Donations are accepted.

The single most expensive thing I've ever bought that isn't a house or car, and it doesn't even fit me!
 

While you would see it as beneficial, for others telling their location to everyone is not as easy. So like gender, age and other personal details, I think this should remain voluntary in future also.

I don't see why it would. CDPR already sold people the game, or at least sold the game to the majority of their customers, so why add such a feature now?
They are likely quite busy with Cyberpunk 2077 too.
 
Don't take this as me saying "it will never happen", but see it as me saying "it's more likely they'll make a remaster later with this added".

No, no, no, let them be because Mr. Darwin approves...

Some IBM vintage big bois for y'all.
 


 

As a new user to this forum I'll make my first post count by starting a build log thread for my Formd T1 build. The pandemic is making this build a lot more difficult than I initially anticipated, so I'll be taking my sweet time for this specific build.  After a long wait I've finally received my T1 on the last day of 2020. I've opted for the black colorway and truth be told, I'm already regretting my decision not getting a silver one. But hey, maybe for the V2 of this case which is now in the making I'll go for a silver version. 
 
I just completed building a NR200P for my younger brother and have to say I'm a bit nervous building in a case thats more than twice as small. My old system, before it was running on a motherboard box, was installed in a Ncase M1 so I have experience with SFF and ITX, but the T1 is really pushing the limits.
 
Like I said, the pandemic is not helping with getting this build done, which means it's going to be a Frankenstein kinda build until its done. I'll list the parts which I've currently have at my disposal and what it needs te become in the near future.
 
Current:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 2700 CPU Cooler: Noctua C12P CPU Cooler fans: Noctua NF-A12x25 Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B450-I Gaming RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2x16 3000 Mhz C16) GPU: MSI RTX 3060TI Ventus 2X PSU: Corsair AX1200 (lol, almost as big as the case) Storage 1: Samsung 960 Evo 256 GB Storage 2: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB Final:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5xxx CPU Cooler: EK-AIO 240 D-RGB CPU Cooler fans: Noctua NF-A12x25 + 2x Noctua NF-A12x15 Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I AORUS PRO AX RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2x16 3000 Mhz C16) GPU: RTX 3080 (I've got a preorder on an Asus 3080 TUF since launch...) PSU: Corsair SF750 or EVGA Supernova 650 GM Storage 1: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB Storage 2: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB Hope you guys will enjoy the build log and I'll try to keep updating the thread as much as I can.
 
Case
Haven't started building yet, but I've just opened the box of the T1 and I have to say it looks gorgeous. Build quality really looks A+, but I still need to double check all parts to make sure mine does not have any Q&A issues. Thank god there are some YT vids out there on how to build this case since nothing is included with this case.
 

 

 

 

 

 
Parts
Currently I've got some parts laying around and I ran my old setup on my motherboard box because I sold my Ncase M1. The MSI 3060TI Ventus 2X feels solid and it's a beefier card than I originally anticipated. I was expecting a dual slot GPU with a single 8 pin power connector, but it's thicker than 2 slots and has two 8 pin power connectors. The EK AIO is pretty AF and I'm not sure if I'm even going to use the RGB on it.
 

 

 

 

 

My Christmas Laptop came kind of late but still very happy
Specs:
ASUS - ROG Zephyrus M15
i7 -10750h 2.6 base 5 max
GTX 1660 ti
16gig (8x2) 2933 ram 
512gig SSD
 

More ARM based CPUs. Apple pushed the boundaries with their M1 CPU and hopefully it will only get better from here, especially with other companies like Google looking to get into the ARM game as well.

I would not label Zap Cables as such since they cater to the custom cable community more than the ones that just want to buy a cable out right. If you want a custom cable for cheaper and a lot quicker, then just make it yourself assuming you know how to solder. Zap has a huge selection of cable sleeve colors and materials, and I have personally made one for my TKC1800 (see image). It cost me about $20 (including shipping) to make this cable.
