Got my ultra wide in today! Wish it was 1440p but for a little more then half off the retail price I'm not complaining!

Can you link that wallpaper though?

 

And welcome to the #UWMR 

[Mooshi]

Was looking for an inexpensive 2.1 system with bluetooth and bought this. 

 

 

Also this desk fan. An employee at work has one in red and I liked the breeze lol.. 

 

 

And the GF needed a new mouse, her scroll wheel is jittery and it was painful to use. Hope she likes her upgrade from the cheap Zalman its replacing!

Got myself this puppy last week. 

It's pretty much the best TV I've ever had. 

 

It's a Samsung 60" Ks7090 (or ks8000 in US) 4k 60hz HDR and all that good stuff. 

Hows the imput lag?

Very good tbh. 

I can play any game on it with my Pc and even without turning on game mode. 

I think when I saw the measurements it was 40ms normal and 20ms in game mode. 

Ofc it doesn't come close to my 144hz but the gaming experience is A LOT nicer on that TV. 

[Marinatall_Ironside]

32 inches of 1440p madness!!!

[Magnetorheological]

Got a Xiaomi Mi5 to play around with. $250 for a Snapdragon 820 is a pretty good deal. Even got a tempered glass screen protector and a TPU case thrown in!

 

 

[Nowak]

Asus GeForce GTX 1070. It's already been in my rig for a few days now.

 

[VerticalDiscussions]

:D, my RGB set is coming to life. #CorsairMM800Polaris and #CorsairM65ProRGB

Nice!  ?

 

You didnt already have Windwaker?

Cougar 600k Keyboard to replace my original Logitech G11, and an EVGA G3 650 to replace the 600B in my rig at the minute which is rattling.

 

Cool.  I'd love to know if that G3 is nice and quiet or not.

What's that about?

 

I know I've heard the title but I can't remember what it is.

usb rubber ducky (sorry i dont have the actual image im at work) made over by the guys at hak5 lets you pre code your l33t hacker skills then plug into the "victims" laptop to deploy it at the speed of light its basically a virtual keyboard at the end of the day 

What is that for?    Yes you explained, no I didn't understand.  ?

 

On January 9, 2017 at 5:47 PM, VerticalDiscussions said:

Well, at least it has a USB pass through :p.

 

Yeah, it costed me 82€, but it was worth it ^^. 

 

My MOM was like (O-O), when i showed her aha. It looks better on person than i tought it would (the lights are quite bright especially over that white towel and the light zone transictioning is quite smooth), so thats a good thing.

Lucky...  When I've shown my mom computer parts she just groans and tells me I'm wasting money...

I decided to reactivate my humble monthly subscription since getting base xcom 2 for around £10 was something I couldn't say no to.

You're in the UK?  (Nothing wrong with that of course.)    For some reason I'd thought US or Canada.

I'm hoping to get a 4K tv soon too.  Either LG or Samsung I think.

Any chance you could show us where you got that awesome SW wallpaper?

Can you please let me know how those speakers sound?    I've been wanting to get some speakers to replace the built-in ones on my VG248QE (which sound fine to me but I assume there's better) but all the speakers I've seen are either cheap and iffy or stuff like that where it's 2 speakers and that woofer thingy but cables would make placement a pain.  

 

Wireless like that might actually be doable for me.  

 

What mouse is that?    It looks really nice.

What does "game mode" do to reduce the input lag?    

 

Are there any drawbacks/downsides to using that mode?

Congrats on the new card!  ?

 

How loud are the fans?    Are they nice and quiet even at higher speeds?

Cool.  I'd love to play with some crazy old computer like this.  

 

Though I'd have no clue what to use it for.    What are you going to do with it?

 

(Once you get any parts you need to get it working.)

 

I just noticed it says no HDD but then it says includes HDD.  Which is it?  ?

 

If it doesn't have a battery can you get one or at least an AC adapter for it?

Yes, but I've never even had them go beyond 30% RPM yet.

Windows 95 and MS-DOS games.

No HDD. It does include the caddy, though.

Put your GPU on it.

Plug power in.

Plug it into your laptop and reboot (or don't, I'm not the boss of you) 

Bang, external GPU.

litterly all there is to it you type out a script on your computer you flash it to the duck then plug it into the "targets" computer, the duck then mascarades as a HID (human interface device) or keyboard to you and me and starts typing things at the speed of light, things that might take 10 minuets it will take 1 minute ect.   its quite awesome if you wann know more i suggest you go the hak5 youtube channel there the geniuses behind it and have loads of videos on things you can do with it 

[Tieox]

I can hear the G3 if I've been gaming but compared to all my other supplies it's really quiet.

 

 

[SammoFS]

fark mine was probably a top up on my myki card (card you touch on and touch off to ride busses and trains in australia)

Nice.  I'd been told recently that Gigabyte fans have bad bearings on the 10 series cards.  Idk if I entirely believe that but after playing around with fan speeds using Afterburner I noticed a few things (odd secondary sounds that have me a little concerned about the fans in my G1 1070) that have me thinking it might be worth giving ASUS or possibly EVGA (if they've fixed the issues without my having to disassemble a GPU out of the box) a shot if I'd ever get any other 10 series GPUs.

 

 

Will a HDD for it be easy and cheap to find?

Ohhh.  I think I've seen those somewhere.  Sort of a DIY eGPU setup?    

 

Does that just work with some laptops or any with an expresscard slot?

I might do that thank you for the suggestion.

Nice.  Idk if I've heard my B2 even when gaming but then again it's a 750W so compared to its capacity I don't think it's been under a high load.

 

So maybe that's kept it quiet?

 

 

I have a seasonic 760W Platinum rated PSU I haven't gotten around to installing.  I'll be curious to see if I notice any noise from it or not.  Though from what I've been told it's a rather quiet PSU so I doubt it'll make much if any noise.

 

 

 

Anyway, that's good you're liking your new G3.  ?

[Tieox]

Wish it was released when I was building this computer, lot better now, so far it's killed 

 

Corsair VS550 x2 and a EVGA 600B which both started rattling badly when on idle.

They're not the best quality supplies, that'll be why

Yeah, that I figured.  Hence getting the G3 650.  Hopefully it's up to the job of running this rig for long sessions.
