    I just checked, Linus's account is from January 1st, 2013, so probably around there

    Yeah you joined just a few months after me. I wonder what the oldest active account is (other than staff)

      I just miss the OG users like Lays who would write a full blown technical document for your hyper specific niche overclocking questions

  6. Yeah, pretty nice especially considering my rent, and the fact I am in the middle of the city
  7. Carpet, finishing setting up my living room
  8. Thought I would share this here, posted elsewhere before, nearing completion now. http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/Illumina-66.htm I had the tweeters laying around, so I figured I would go for these. I am using a simplified geometry to make build easier, but keeping angled parts to eliminate standing waves. I modeled it in Solidworks so I could calculate internal volume with all bracing in place (have not done bracing yet). Here is the basic geometry: Next step, build a little scale model section to make sure everything is going together well, I dont have that much woodworking experience. So far so good, time to get the wood, got nice sheet of MDF A few other notes on the build I am using double thick front panel for rigidity. Also, these speakers are very very similar to YG acoustics Carmel 2. The tweeters all almost the same - YG uses scanspeak tweeters custom made for them, with I believe a slight difference. The woofers are also very similar: Same size, same basket and motor structure. Only difference I see is YG makes machined aluminum cones that they send to scanspeak to be used, while the regular scanspeak drivers use pressed aluminum cones. Other differences, the waveguide built into the YG speakers, crossover differences, YG have an internal resonation chamber instead of a port to outside, and of course, the YG cabinets are machined aluminum. Front baffle going well, tweeter flush mount looking all good. I was a bit concerned, never built speakers before, or did a flush mount, but it seems to all be going well. And woofer hole cut as well, ordering woofers now to test fitment Woofers arrived Sexy magnet structure Test mounted, starting to look like a speaker Both fronts done Tweeter hole sealed off, and back of woofer hole widened to allow more breathing room (1.5" of MDF seemed to give it little breathing room with original hole) Bracing and internal bottoms made To do: Make tops, make bottoms, assemble, put in damping stuff, make crossovers, connect everything, finishing. At some point Ill need to buy an amp too, dont have one right now. And the gluing has begun Now that's looking like A speaker to me. Thank you harbor freight for 6$ big clamps Damping materials put in And backs glued on
  9. Damn this computer was sexy. Stay tuned, maybe ill have something sexy again
  10. I'm going to have to counter this. Yes, in theory, everything is measurable. But do we have the equipment to measure and interpret everything? No. Frequency response is not the only measurement that is important. There is a csd/waterfall plot, impulse response, and much more, and that still doesn't fully describe the sound. Yes everything is measurable, but everything isn't measured.
  11. You would need to open up the speaker and find the right part of the circuit board to solder to, which would be hard unless you know what you are doing, and even if you do know what you are doing, still might be hard.
  12. Why not put the dial not at maximum?
  13. Damn that really sucks. Im surprised no protection in the power supply kicked in or anything. Really sucks though, looks like you had a real nice rig. At least your neighbors caught it though and you didnt loose more.
  14. The whole thing was just filled with fluffy nest material, with a few hard dead mice in it
  15. I bought a computer from 1978 i had to clean a mouse nest with dead mice out of.
  16. 2133 Mhz. I thought it didnt really matter though? IDK i have kinda been outa the pc world after like 2015
  17. actually the new version of FTz01 fits an ATX PSU, but only a really short one. I currently have an SFX PSU in it. Only thing is those GPUs are hard to get. Ill have to see if I can eventually at a reasonable price.
  18. Oh wow, i thought it did, but yeah, just checked task manager, it doesnt.
  19. is CPU really that important though? I would have thought the i5-6400 would still be capable?
  20. Budget (including currency): 500-1000 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cyberpunk 2077, rocket league, other games Other details Existing computer: i5-6400 16gb ddr4 1tb nvme ssd rx 480 450(?)W psu All in an ITX Silverstone FTZ01 case I am thinking about upgrading some stuff, I can only run cyberpunk 2077 at low settings. My monitor is a 38" ultrawide dell 3840x1600, so thats the issue. Do I just need to upgrade GPU/PSU, or would CPU need upgrade too? And what GPU? Seems like you cant get the rtx 3*** or the rx 6*** now....
