  1. honestly im just thinking of cutting a hole in the top and stick a fan there and having it on intake
  2. I would keep your 1080 and wait for the RTX 3000 series, your card is still a very good card, and your upgrade wouldnt be worth the money yet
  3. Yeah, I saw that this morning was looking for an hour this morning for a PSU for a friend. Its crazy 400 for a Rog PSU that should be under 150
  4. Looks great mate, would have waited for the r3 3100 or 3300x processor but other than that looks great, welcome to the wonderful world of PC building
  5. So I was thinking about a month ago if i could actually put a PC into a wooden box. We had an old Dell Inspiron 560 lying around with a pentium, 4gb of ram and a 500gb 7200rpm hdd. So, I bought a jig saw and some hot glue and got working and this is what became of it. The thermals are probably terrible, it's running Ubuntu and probably won't do much else. Its more of novelty and a by-product of boredom than anything else. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures during the build process because the idea just slipped my mind. The weirdly shaped black box in the second picture is the power switch. I stripped that off the dell case. In order to actually turn it on, you have to stick your finger into the hole on the left hand side. Honestly, the hardest part was getting the Io shield to line up with the mobo, I had to jerry rig it a tad bit, but as long as it stay in place fingers crossed. The original idea was to have the SD card reader and optical drive but that didn't end up happening sadly. Hope you enjoy, it was a blast to build. Love to hear what you guys think or answer any questions.
  6. hes a ugandian prince about to find a million euros worth of gold, all he needs is a small 5,000 dollar loan to fund the operation. You get half of the gold and his nation is forever indebted to you. Seems like a great deal to me
  7. well you could always "invest" in others credit cards and make money by buying games with your "investments" and selling them on G2A
  8. exactly that's another point if forgot to bring up. In order for a democracy to succeed we need an educated and moral population to keep the those in power in check. I totally agree with you on the fact that our population is ignorant. But to address all the other points you brought up. I think that why America is so special is because he have the ability to incite and promote and most important MAKE change. All the points you brought up I would argue help me. There has never been a time in American history in which every group of people has had their rights protected and insured, but those times have always been solved. Some of them are still being solved today. Any institution has its faults, THERE CAN NEVER BE A PERFECT WAY TO DO THINGS. Some systems are less imperfect than others, however. To get philosophical about it its because we ourselves are imperfect beings. There are definitely MANY, MANY problems to solve in America and they must be solved. But to my knowledge there has never been a time when Americans or the international community has become jaded and disenchanted at our core ideals. Even when our country was falling apart in the Civil War we still fought for the ideals that were so dear to us. It is our responsibility as citizens to continue on this tradition today. Even if all the problems stated above were solved overnight, the next day there would be a whole slew of problems. The best way for us to deal with these issues is for us to be proactive in solving them, instead of being ignorant and jaded about them. We need to revitalize our identity and responsibilities as Americans. I know I sound like a total preacher with high hopes and no evidence of actual change or a plan for change. I just thought I would share my 2 cents on what needs to be done in our country. (Yes my plan is imperfect to )
  9. I mean who cares as long as it works right?
  10. @GDRRiley @NZgamer @Bananasplit_00 @Dabombinable @huilun02 An illusion, just another China? What ever happened to the process of bills to be become laws, free elections, free speech and the entire rest of American law. Just because the government misinterpreted the 5th amendment doesn't mean that America's democracy is an illusion or an authoritarian government hellbent on destroy all rights. Because American law is open to opinion, change and interpretation this means that it can be can be changed or interpreted incorrectly. Look at every other time in American history, something was happening that was against the constitution and people rights were infringed on. The 1860's had slaves which clearly went against everything that America stood for. Look at the second amendment, its 300 hundred years old and we are still figuring it out today. The reason why America was started was because a group of intellectuals felt that their rights had been infringed on and they wanted CHANGE. The whole point of America is to change and be revised for the benefit of its citizens. This revision was a horrible one that goes against what we stand for. I believe that it will be fixed because of the rights and the irrevocably privileges given to use by our non-illusory democracy. To say that the whole American democracy is an illusion/China because of horrible change in the law is pathetic. Rhetoric like this is the reason why this law might never be changed. To sit back in your chair and say,"Oh America is just another China, our/their rights are just an illusion." If Abraham Lincoln had said, yes American democracy would be an illusion, but since he fought for the rights of his citizens and since he and so many others in our history have fought to keep our democracy a real and living part of our existence, it is no illusion, it is a real and beautiful reality. That is the kinda of talk we need, as Americans it is our job to incite change. PS My apologies for my fiery wording, just thought i'd express my ideas and give you all a civics lesson.
  11. well yes banned was the wrong word, I thought they suspend your account, hmmmm, weird guess i thought wrong : )
  12. We dont know if he has this @Bon Forgot to say this specs would be nice.
  13. yeah that sounds pretty bad, can you swap out parts through process of elimination figure out which parts have been fried. First things first definitely swap out the GPU, PSU, mobo. Experiment, see what works and what doesnt and then report back to us
  14. can you try plugging the PC into another socket, this is unlikely but fingers crossed hopefully you just fried the socket. Edit: reread your post, ive seen you have already done this. Definitely swap out the PSU
  15. your going to be banned if you get caught no matter wich VPN you are using, its a breaking of their terms of service
  16. Go for a better mobo, that isnt that great. (https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jcYQzy/msi-b450-tomahawk-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-tomahawk-max) Yes they will work but you are going to need another am4 CPU for a bios update I believe. The one linked will not require another CPU or bios update.
