In before all the S22 pictures flood the SOYLP thread.   The green really is quite nice.

 

Some H2 paste and a ThinkCentre.  Really been into these 1 Liter PCs lately, this is my first entry into the Ryzen Pro line.

Home server is a go. Case should show up today. Should have RAM tomorrow. New link cable for my headset. Thumb drives, the AIO is for hotbox, tablet is for a game. New set of fans for my 1070, lots of paste. 
The server motherboard is massive as are the CPUs for it. Dual 2699s and a U9DXi4 for each one. 

Spoiler

No more money spending for a little while for me I guess. Server is going to borrow the 1070 until I figure out what card I want to put in it.

That's a lot of computer, what's it's tasked with?

Can you not just remote in from one of your other PCs?

It’s got IPMI on the board. I don’t need to do that. I’m not sure how well the 2699 does in transcoding for plex so it’s a place holder until I see if I need one there.

It’s my “I never want to build a new server again”. It’ll take the NAS/Plex from Oppbevaring. Game servers for friends. Once I move to Norway and I start setting up a house how I want, home automation(that’s how I got the okay to spend the money on it, as long as we have a door bell that can see people), then I’ll use extra cores to jump into Boinc.

I bought a used Steam Controller for 50 Bucks from @AluminiumTech

Size Comparison with a Xbox Series X Controller:

The main reason for getting a Steam Controller is to have it as a collectible and to then use with my upcoming Steam Deck for shits and giggles. Also of course using it on my 55" 4K OLED TV will be flipping amazing.

If you need a cheap display out the HD 6450 is like usual $10 USD shipped, probably as cheap there.

New Shiney has arrived....got it off a buddy for $700... yes.. $700... over 3x less than current market value. No I am not reselling it and no I do not mine. Pure gaming and folding only.

Those things remind me of the NES TurboTouch 360; and those were shit controllers.

All these games keep coming out. I don't buy $60 games digital though so console it is.

Nintendo Switch OLED

 

I have been wanting a Switch for a while now, and almost bought one but then the OLED model was announced. The OLED model of course has been difficult to buy, but I finally found one new for MSRP. The newest console I have is a PS4, but the Wii is the newest Nintendo system I bought, and I miss some Nintendo exclusives.

 

Now to buy a screen protector, case, and some games.

I think a 3090 for $700 is considered theft in many countries

Coolermaster V850 hopefully a revised one. This thing is even smaller than I thought it would be and it's dense too. Small enough I can turn it to face the fan toward glass in the case without hurting airflow to it. 

[Retro_R]

Last night i said fuk it, and bit on this MSNtv thing bc it interested me and i won! then after i won i learned they turned off the servers that this runs on back in 2013, so theres not that much i can rlly do with this, but its still a cool lil thing. Plus Its a steal compared to what i would've paid on ebay and then this morning i got these 2 books on my smart intellectual type shi. But mostly bc i saw the first book at the library and i was intregued so i ordered it.

I bet it's hackable, probably some low end ARM SOC with a custom ROM. It can probably run some generic Android or Linux on it.

I don't have enough load to turn the fan on to see if it has the bad fan curve or not. LOL

GAME & Watch is on sale ($40 CAD on Amazon Canada ... roughly $30 USD)

 

So I got one (had left over from a previous gift card, that's why the total shows $0)
