    We do armed security at our trade shows - and there is no way this is discussed with someone other than the security team and management lol

    I buy in 500 or 1k round boxes at a time, more recently I've been buying a lot of 5.7x28mm. It actually is an amazing handgun round and with all the options on the market now is becoming mainstream.
     
    To me its the better choice than 9mm for a duty handgun. Like comparing 45.70 to .308/5.56. Much milder recoil and better energy deposition on target with FMJ which is what you're bulking up on anyways. 
     
    If you put a micro comp on it as well, it literally has no recoil 🙂

    oooooooh. Suggested MSRP will be 1499.00 bit steep but if its solidly enough built it may be just worth that much.
    *edit, I would opt in for a 30-06 or .308 tbh. I would like to keep to what I already stock. I dont mind multiple calibers but I strive to keep my rifle ammo to max of 5 sizes, easier to maintain (for me).

    Ive been around since Razer hit the scene with PC peripherals.  They went way down hill since then.  
     
    Kind of like a great brand being sold to Wal-Mart now being made as cheaply as possible.  It looks great, performs just like the cheap shit, and you get worse customer support imho than if you were to buy cheap off Amazon or Newegg.

    I've seen them and online testing on them but never bought any, not many bear to worry about in central ohio. 
     
    I have 9 pellet OObuck, remington slugs and then sporting loads from 9-7.5 shot for doing all the other shotgun things.  The longest shot I can take inside my house is about 20ft so I'm not loosing alot of velocity at that distance, won't really have much spread yet on the pellets either at that distance.  The BB shot is roughly the same size (.18in) as a .177 caliber airgun bb, I'm using the Winchester Blindside steel waterfowl rounds, 3inch shell, 1400fps, 1 3/8oz so roughly 100 pellets per shell.
     
    My rational is that at 20ft these rounds will do some pretty impressive damage to anything it hits.  I have tried them on watermelon and 4x4 lumber at that distance and it messed them both up rather well.  When you look at the ballistics charts though, steel shot at this size looses roughly half of it's velocity and more than half it's energy by 120 feet.  My hope is that anything that misses it's target inside my house and gets out to roam the neighborhood will not have enough energy left to do any damage by the time it reaches anything else.
     
    Shotgun is a 5+1 and a side carrier with 5 more. I do technically have my EDC .45acp pistol by the bed and a distributed 9mm in another room if needed.

    Unless its the physical GPU issue, it may be the hard drive creating a software issue since it migrated improperly to a completely new system. Im not 100% positive but now following the post to see what other smart folks say

    Wow, that reminds me of when I used to use the 3.5 mm plug and wire from a defunct pair of headphones to route my computer's audio signal to a huge stereo amplifier from Pioneer, running a pair of ~2500.- DM DIY HiFi speakers back in the day. Annoyed the shit out of my neighbors. Ah, good times. Talk about TBT 😄

    TBH if you feel its sluggish, do a fresh wipe, should be nothing but snappy from a system with those specs.  Unless you are using the HDD for stuff.  Then you are just bottlnecked by the HDD.

    Tristerin reacted to leadeater in Intel Making a HEDT Comeback??? W790 Sapphire Rapids Workstation & HEDT CPU Platform Detailed   
    I just want to say Xeon W is not HEDT and X299 is not in this family of product announcement. HEDT still does not exist from Intel on the HEDT family product line.
     
    Xeon W and Core X (HEDT) have always co-exited and are different platforms. Note realistically we don't use the same naming Intel does so I'm intentionally using community names for these things.
     
    LGA2066 had two chipsets, X299 and Intel C422
    C422 = Xeon W X299 = Core X  
    From what I see here is that Intel is removing the split socket of Xeon W and going with a single socket and pulling the lower product tier up in to the larger socket. That means there isn't a new X299 coming and while you can buy in to this new platform it's going to cost a lot more than an equivalent X299 would have. Sadly because they have Xeon naming I don't think we'll get any RIP GN/Jay OC wars with them and I doubt they will get review samples or bother buying them, argh.
     
    TL;DR HEDT is still dead.
