    MEC-777 got a reaction from mr.squishy in [Build Log] Woodland Raven - Case Mod Project [WIP]   
    Looking into some wood species, trying to decide which to go with for the final build. My wife sold a cedar-lined chest she recently re-finished a while back. The look and smell of aromatic cedar is SOOO nice. I think that might just be the wood to go with.

    For a dog that had pretty much zero impulse control less than a year ago, Olivia is just killin it. Did some proofing yesterday outside the dog park. Calm, relaxed and unfazed. So proud of her.

    that 12v amperage means it's likely group regulation, so not something I'd use for a 1070 ti

    Panamax MR4000

    Got what is essentially a rackmount powerstrip with some built in filtering and surge protection. 
    I was going to get a tripp lite rackmount isobar for $170 but this was on sale for significantly cheaper. Specs aren't amazing, but it'll work.

    This one is more targeted for home theater. It fits in nicely in my media center. Working on getting a rackmount UPS and isolation transformer within a year, but first I need my rack and receiver/audio setup.

    my first 240hz monitor, switch from 60 to 240hz makes 60 feel like a slideshow. also I can land flick shots so much better now and g sync is a plus for triple A games.

    What they did here was ban "bully breeds" and defined that as anything that "looks like" a pitbull type dog. So muscular body, squarish head, etc. This includes pitbulls, american bulldogs, taffishire terriers, and anything that looks like that. It's kind of dumb though because those other breeds aren't pitbulls and it's debatable what exactly is a pitbull, since they are a mix of other breeds. It's a very grey area.
     
    We have a pit mix, but we have her registered with our vets as a "bulldog mix" which means if something happens and there's an investigation, the vet's word will hold up and no one can claim she is actually a pit.
     
    Dogs that were already adopted when the ban was initiated were grandfathered in and could be kept. But you technically can't bring pits into Ontario nor adopt nor rescue pits in Ontario. They will get shipped out to the US typically.
     
    He's doing better, actually. We were able to get him to start eating again and he's regained some strength. He seems to go through these slumps where he kind of starves himself for a few days, becomes weak, then decides to eat again and bounces back. Hopefully he's ok and gets better.

    Resorting to personal attacks does nothing to support your claims.
    No sources, just claims. This isn't constructive or helpful at all.

    The person I bought the tank from ended up calling me back and asked if I wanted to take some of the fish that where in the tank previously.  They where getting picked on too much by his other fish so I ended up rescuing them.  Ended up with a gold nugget pleco, 2 border loaches, 2 gouramis, and an albino bristlenose pleco.  There was a 3rd much smaller loach that we couldn't catch so we gave up on him.
     


     
    As for other fish I'm trying to track down some more loaches to try and get a bigger group of them.  Next fish will be a pictus catfish and then a probably a couple of senegal birchir (dinosaur eel).  Probably wont stock any more that that in this tank.

    If you don't need multi-rail then tier A and A+ units are the same for your needs, other tiers aren't differentiated by multi-rail. It's not requirement, just nice to have if you actually will benefit from it as if you have multi-GPU system and then you can just look at tier A+ and choose one.
    I don't get what you're trying to argue over.
    You didn't actually looked at sources section don't you ?

    It was more accurate at the time, maybe. The only significant differences i see (granted i didn't make any of these tier lists and there might be more) are absence of good amount of newer units and Seasonic Focus and derived units ranked higher. Now when we have enough data on them being unreliable (multiple reports of users having GPU instability problems, even with shielded cables Seasonic tried to fix this with) it's not going to get higher than tier D, in fact it was recently promoted to D+ in an attempt to make a compromise for you people.
     
    Fear mongering huh ? Just buy that Diablotek PSU, you'll be alright i'm sure, i've heard it doesn't always blowup.
     
    If you have any suggestions then voice them, otherwise all you do are flooding this thread with 'completely useless' posts (as others before you).

    I don't think Vengeance will be alright for this GPU but Earthwatts wouldn't definitely. Any other options, starting from 550W 80+ Bronze ?
    Edit: assuming you're in India i see Corsair CX650 for 6.3k rupee, it should be good, or Corsair TX650M for 7.8k rupee it will be better.
