Well the last picture I posted of a monitor I had bought didn't happen due to a mess up by Amazon, they were very apologetic and refunded me my money.

 

So I was on the hunt for another monitor and this 34 inch bad boy turned up this morning 😀

So I bought: 

  • Tesla S3XY Mug (S3XY standing for the Tesla Model S, 3, X and Y)
  • Powerwall T-Shirt
  • Plaid T-Shirt (because there's a Tesla Model S Plaid edition)
  • Tesla Beanie
  • S3XY T-Shirt
  • Cybertruck T-Shirt (Remember the cracked window from the unveiling ? Yeah that's that)
  • Tesla Hoodie

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

Got an oil change for my Saturn. Was slightly overdue as I went about 7 months since the last oil change, but I just didn't have much time for it. 

On another note, I also grabbed lunch from Smashburger today. I wanted to go to a local joint but they didn't open for another 3 hours, so I had to settle this time around.

Still, this hit the spot.

Never heard of it but that burger looks fantastic.

I haven't posted in a couple of day (or weeks) but I've been busy on my Mac Pro as my main rig's (in sig) PSU was sent back to EVGA for RMA (fan noise/chirping). I've known I needed to get a bigger power supply. I was looking for 1000W or 1200/1300W units and on Amazon/Newegg, their prices by third party sellers are just as much as a 1600W. So, I decided to go to the only Micro Center that had a EVGA P2 1600W in stock (just one) and spent a long drive going into New York from New Jersey through the Holland Tunnel. That was my first time driving into NYC. 

 

I got the fan hubs for the Corsair 900D for when my Noctua fans will arrive in a couple days from now. Also got some cable ties for cable management for the 900D. I also got this grommet kit at Harbor Freight for $5 as the Corsair 900D was missing from grommets for the exhaust 120/140mm fan in the rear. I did buy this 13pc grommet kit at Micro Center but that was $5 so I returned that today at the Micro Center in Flushing, NY.

No more GPU sag, + my CPU is going to be way cooler. I think I can break 4.5GHz on it, it just runs to hot right now with the Wraith Prism to throw that much voltage at it. 

 

@rice guru Nice build. I am going to do one with Nico Yazawa once I get a figure of her. Do a black and red vibe.

dont put any expensive figure i your case as they will collect dust and get stuck in the various parts of the sculpt. I would look into priize figures like an EXQ figures as they are pretty tall  , or the pop up parade line by good smile company as they are pretty high quality for a budget price

Well, I would have had a new keyboard to show you but Goodwill doesn't have it anymore.

No idea which exact one, but it was a Logitech (I think) keyboard with 2 optical drive eject buttons on it.

Here, have this instead:

All my NES/SNES ROMs on floppy disks, complete with labels.

And Minecraft at the end.

Yes, I put the Minecraft launcher (exe, not the msi - wouldn't fit) on a disk - compressed it, then created a little extraction script.
