Naw, his mom is just a furry.  He just a furry.  I have nothing against furrys.

I don't think meerkats can be furries since they have fur by default.  ?

 

But good for you being accepting like that.  ?

but still waiting on sleeving and corsair fans, I've came across 2 games I play that don't use the second card so I am happy my other games benefit...

1. Why founders not AIB version?

 

2. Why 2 when they card is crazy powerful already?

 

3. Are you rich?    Can you buy me one?  lol

I plan on watercooling them so thought no point waiting for the others, You'd be surprised how many games struggle on max settings on 3440x1440 on a single card(even if you do turn off AA... etc)...

That's 1440p on an ultrawide monitor right?

 

I didn't realize those crazy wide monitors made GPUs struggle so much.  

 

Though I'm curious if 2 of this card is still overkill or not.  ?

Yeah mate, was going to go for a standard 4k screen but it caught my eye. I would think 2 is a tad overkill but I thought I'd treat myself

PS3 version of Persona 5 which has a mandatory 4.5GB install and most likely (even though it's mentioned on the back) a lack of the Japanese voice option since it seems to currently be for PS4 only.

[BSpendlove]

Well...

 

This should be arriving in 2 days so I can integrate it into my cisco lab so I can work a bit more on my mcse certification....

Got it just now, installing Nougat, S7 Edge in Coral Blue, what an insanely beautiful phone.

Damn, I love Samsungs update policy... Update for S6 / S7 / Edges should be in rollout since mid / end of march, but I guess with my luck, mine will be one of the last phones to receive it.. q.q

 

Nonetheless, sweet phone, though I'm not a big fan of the edge myself

This phone is very sweet indeed. Edges are pretty cool so far. Yeah they can be slow with updates.

One of these decades my dad will get a gigabit router with good 5GHz WiFi and then I'll finally upgrade my router to gigabit and I can finally get a proper NAS for shtuff.

I'm bulding a veeeeery overkill setup, mostly for future proofing.

The CPU on the router is going to be an i5-3470 (in my defense, my only spare CPU ), with 4gb of Crucial 1600mhz DDR3, maybe ASRock B75M-ITX and this D33682 NIC.

I need to put some 5ghz APs around the house as well, currently i only have the mentioned TP-Link aio wireless router behind my desk, which is terrible for wireless connections, add the fact the i've saturated all the ports on the router and i'm running an external switch, bad stuff. I have 10 connections in total, and i'm going to add a 16 port switch as well.

Funny (and sad) thing is, as of now, my connection is rated at only 5mbps , i need to step up my ISP game!

 

Ah, forgot to mention! My main machine is also going to serve as a media server, it already worked well inside my room but not on the rest of the house which was all wireless.

My setup is janky but it works. Basically my internet goes like this: Cable modem, dads crappy router, my old laptop, my router, then my PC (his router being a WNR1000 V3 or something and mine is a WRT54GS). Then I have an HP DC5750 with 2GB of RAM and an Athlon 64 4600+ as my Plex server which does a pretty good job, and my "HTPC" in my room has a Q6600, 4GB of RAM, and it will have my sorta-working 7950 when my dad buys me a 970 to replace it.

Well, I have missed you as my partner in crime. Good to see you again. 

Yeah, picture disc aren't really worth the gamble. Some picture discs sound just fine, but the majority either pop like crazy and/or have horrible surface noise.

I'm sorry your record falls into the latter category.

Luckily, you can't really hear any noise or pops on the two picture discs I own, but I suspect that's because the recordings on both are so god awful. 

 

Also, how do you like the new Havok album? I haven't had the opportunity to listen to the whole thing yet. 

 

As for my purchases:

Left to right, top to button:

Shark Attack by Wehrmacht, Terminal Redux by Vektor,  Commitment to Complications by Youth Code and Undergang/Anatomia 10" Split (Danish Version) by Undergang and Anatomia.

 

So all in all, an old and a modern thrash classic, EBM and filthy, dirty death metal.

 

Edit: I forgot these

 

 

 

Left to right:

Sword of Pestilence 7" EP by Deiquisitor, Morbid Metal by Necormaniac and Vargnatt A5 Digipak (God, I hate that format) by Ulver

 

So, even more filthy death metal, some 1985-Brazilian metal worship in the vein of old Sepultura and Sarcófago and a classic black metal demo.

Did a little bit of shopping...

Why the reference 480 though ? And what cooler do you plan on using for the CPU ?

I heard the blower style cooler is better for a small case or for Crossfire, I plan on adding another RX480 in the future and swapping out my case for something much smaller. I have a Corsair H80i GT (AM4 bracket is in the mail).

It's not a huge issue with my record. The title song is clear and sounds good, as is the same for every song up until A Skeleton In the Closet, where there's about a minute of loud, obnoxious popping. Indians, THANKFULLY, is clear of any issues, but then on One World it's scratchy, and the entire intro to Imitation Of Life is terrible. 

 

It's the first Back On Black record I've bought that genuinely sounds bad. At first I thought it was the old record player I was using as every record sounded scratchy thanks to the old stylus. However, since I got that Audio Technica player, all of that, unless it's an old, dusty record has gone. On the plus side, now I have an Antrax record so I can make Joey Belladonna sound like Alvin the chipmunk at 45rpm and 78rpm. 

[BSpendlove]

To stick with FE 1080ti's or MSI ones? Haha I think MSI look better

For some reason Back on Black has always been really hit or miss with me. 

Not so much in terms of their pressings, but more in terms of what masters their using. 

For example, their Cannibal Corpse reissues sounds terrible, since they (supposedly) used the CD masters instead of the vinyl masters.

When compared to the recent Metal Blade reissues the difference is night and day.

 

But most of their reissues are great. The Burzum releases they did some years ago all sound great. 

As does the Judas Priest reissues.

Now I really want to put on Persistence of Time at 45rpm just to hear what it sounds like...

One of these. Mmmmm the audio is good.
