Haha, and what GIF did you install on your display screen? For me, Given the boost in power and performance over the 6700xt, I went with:

Lol none, it's hidden inside my old case that has no window... plus Gigabyte's software is garbage

This is true. I also don't have windows. But I put it on there anyway. Couldn't resist.

First one is due to losing mine in the move and having nothing to dislodge a sim card tray.  The other is for an RPI project.   Was free due to amazon refunding me for potentially killing me.  Well, I do have to talk to a doctor still yet I think they sold me koolaid with metal and/or glass shard in it.   It was delicious, but the internal damage to my digestive system since then has not been as fun.  Potential lawsuit.

Man...I broke a SIM card tray once on a cheap phone...it was NOT fun trying to get my SIM card out, no matter how hard I forced the pin inside the SIM card hole.

If they'd had battery banks in that, and offered a K/M combo that ran wirelessly and off the Qi charging in the device--that would be killer.

I personally got the K63 + Lapboard combo. If i feel like couch gaming i can just take my G Pro wireless and have at it. No cables, no clutter and keyboard is perfectly integrated. A buddy of mine also wants it but sadly we can't find it in stock anywhere. I think Corsair stopped production for these. But this is basically the perfect product for this job. You can also just take the K63 out of the lapboard then it just becomes a standard tenkeyless with cherry red switches.

I looked at those briefly.  Still think I would have gone with a Turret.  But neither the Corsair or the Turret has the battery bank built into the lapboard.

I personally don't really see a reason for it. Modern wireless peripherals don't need to be charged all the time. I plug my keyboard in maybe once every 2 weeks. My mouse is always on it's charging mouse pad so it's at 80% every time i pick it up to use the lapboard. So i don't really need a charging option everywhere.

I'd prefer a Logtech G Powerplay or something.  That's all.

I picked up a new toy - it's a thin client!

 

 

It's a tiny little Dell Wyse 3040 thin client based on a quad core Intel Atom x5-Z8350 CPU. It has 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal flash storage. I'm actually using it right now to type this through RDP. 

 

It was mainly an impulse purchase, but I do have a legitimate use for this machine. I might share that later. I found this on eBay for only $40 brand new. It was still sealed in the Dell box, and came with a mouse, power supply, original documentation, and a DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

Oh neat! Is the RAM soldered or can it be upgraded?

It's soldered, but the CPU itself only supports up to 2GB, so you couldn't upgrade it if you wanted to. From what I've heard it is possible to replace the flash storage if you have the equipment.

Ah bummer. It can still run a light Linux with gui tho and do some basic web browsing.

It could, but I'm mainly going to be using it with RDP.

It's actually a pretty decent cooler and that's a reasonable price for it. They're great for smaller OEM systems that need more heatsink than the extruded aluminum pucks they come with, good buy! The fan isn't the most amazing but it'll do OK, a Noctua on there would be great because that fan does get a little loud (or the one on my SM heatsink does).
