Black and green? A rig after my own heart.

My nephew asked me to help him build a desktop, so I did. This is that build.....

Very clean, well done. I'm personally not a fan of green lighting but this look pretty damn good.
 
Can't say I'm a fan of the VS Series PSU in there. I'm a big fan of Corsair PSU's, but the VS series are very low quality and not meant for a gaming rig. I also would have opted for a Ryzen 2600 which just hit $150 recently. Not sure how tight the budget was, but the 2600 is a pretty decent upgrade over the 1600. Everything else looks solid.

Actually I may have overlooked that point as well. I didn't take note of the Max part. @Tom Kingston there would be no reason to buy the wraith max. The stock 2200g cooler is more than sufficient.

sleeeeep I shall.

my mistake, thought you were somebody else, the lack of sleep is getting to me.

They look like a 5050, datasheet.
I'm not 100% sure of what they are exactly, without a part number.
assuming it is the 5050, idk if it is or not... (just because they look similar, it doesn't mean they are)
VDD = 5vdc
DI = display input (1's & 0's)
VCC/VSS/GND = Ground
For multiple strips, connect DO of the current strip to DI of the following strip, rinse & repeat.
as Mr.Evens said, checking your protocol is a good idea, it will clue you in on how they are being addressed.
look up the neopixle library from adafruit, it will give you a run down on how these types of LEDs work.

Dang well alright

Should have used silica sand, or diatomaceous earth.
Edit: or graphene powder.
Edit: Monolayer Graphene Oxide Water Dispersion
This started off as me being a smart ass, now I'm just curious.

The problem is people always assume it's for malicious intent but you NEED to know things in order to protect yourself from malicious intent. 

I use 2 programs, CURA 4.0 for 3d printing and Carbide Create for engraving etc. Both produce gcode for making 3d prints or cutting, carving or engraving with a Shapeoko 3 hobby CNC. Some of the more complicated items in either program can take a considerable time to calculate the gcode. Is the speed of these programs strictly governed by CPU speed or does ram or anything else come in to play. Thanks

The SnapOnAir PCB allows your Raspberry pi zero (or zero w) to become a portable Linux PC of sorts.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/fossbytes.com/turn-your-raspberry-pi-zero-into-a-portable-linux-pc-with-this-10-pcb/amp/
I would like to add to this.  You need adapters for the Raspberry pi zero.  You need a micro HDMI to HDMI cable/adapter, and a USB OTG adapter, as well as possibly needing a USB hub due to having only one USB data port. 
You trade convenience for the tiny form factor.  But for the price, and form factor, it's great, so great that Adafruit limits to only one raspberry pi zero per purchase, or else they would be bought out.  There is no shortage in demand for these tiny computers. 
While attaching a small display to a raspberry pi is nothing new, a PCB that has a keyboard and screen would make for a very versatile little device, while you may question the usefulness for such a device when we have smartphones, the android operating system isn't really good for getting actual work done.  It's great for content consumption, and you can use it as a word editor, that's really about it.  Having a PDA like device running  raspbian could be useful for several people.
3.5mm jack?  I guess they're brave enough to not mimic Apple ?.  Ok, petty jokes aside, an nRF24 board is a wireless 2.4GHz audio streamer, you can read more about it here.
https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Low-power-short-range-wireless/nRF24-series
So this board has some robust options when it comes to audio and audio transmission.  You could possibly use these as a walkie talkie, or perhaps a radio of sorts.
The PCB itself, yes, but keep in mind that the screen, keyboard, and anything else is not included, so it's going to be a decent amount more to set this up.
While ot would be possible to strap this onto a phone charger, that would be less then elegant, so in built battery support would be nice. 
Yes, from the looks of it, there will be a lot of surface mounted soldering, which is a lot more difficult then through hole soldering, although this could make a decent soldering project that's not too expensive (so if you mess it up, it's not the end of the world).
 
And now some of my personal thoughts, there has been a lot of neat little projects involving the raspberry pi zero, from the mintypi to a hidden compact surveillance camera, to even a projector.  That in itself has proven that the pi zero is extremely versatile, and is the right price for DIY projects.  While I would consider the SnapOnAir board rather niche, it has its place, although the pi zero is rather slow, so don't expect this to be the snappiest of portable PCs. 

Flea market find: T60, 2GB ram, T1300 Core2Solo (will be a T7200 C2D tomorrow, for $3), 320GB HDD, 14" 1400x1050, new 9 cell battery, new original adapter. Not a single scratch on the whole machine. Registered Windows 10, whisper quiet fan... $10
 
 

Looking at the list at the top ... I'm a bit sad for you... they're good movies but you're missing a lot of GREAT movies.
 
Here's what I suggest you watch
 
12 angry men (1957) : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050083/
HBO redid the movie recently, but the old one is better
 
 
The night of the hunter (1955) : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048424/
 
Not posting trailer because the trailer sucks, the movie is really good.
 
76. North by Northwest (1959)
 
 
More modern :
 
(from imdb top 250)
  6. Schindler's List (1993)   30. The Green Mile (1999) 31. Interstellar (2014)
 
  155. Blade Runner (1982)  
 
Gattaca (1997) (great sci-fi movie)  : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/
 
 
Predestination (2014) : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2397535/
 
Atonement (2007) : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0783233/
 
 
Anime
Your name (2016) (excellent animation, beautiful) : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5311514/
 
From the same director/writer/whatever
 
5 Centimeters Per Second (2007) : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0983213/
 
 
 
other excellent anime
 
Spirited Away (2001) : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0245429/
must see Grave of the fireflies (1988)  (sad but beautiful)  : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095327/
 
As usual, there's others that I really enjoyed but just don't come to mind as i write this. There's some very good movies but don't show up in imdb top 250 because they have too few votes compared to movies like x-men and avengers and modern stuff.

You can still download sketchup download
Gimp is nice, and yeah FreeCAD rocks too. *two thumbs up*
 

Take lots of pics, sell them on facebook, ebay, your local selling sites etc.
Be reasonable with your offers, look at what others of the same make and model are selling for.

I saw Danzig live about 10 years ago, and honestly, he sounded like he was out of breath throughout the whole ordeal. The guy I was with said it mostly reminded him of seeing Meat Loaf in the 90's.
 
If you just want pure fuck you, you should just listen to the Dead Kennedys. They'll tell you how awesome your political ideals are, just to then bitch slap you and call you out as a stupid hypocrite.
 

I don't know how many versions of the band there was, but it was a lot. They also went by Ronnie and the Red Caps, and before that it was a band where he didn't even sing. I believe he played bass.
