Finally after two months of arguing with the retailer I got my money back for my faulty Radeon R9 Fury Strix and bought a new card

Wether or not it was faulty.  But I looked around on the internet and I was not the only one who had bad experiences with this sites customer service. So I took my business elsewhere. 

 

The site is called NetOnNet if you're wondering. Swedish electronics retailer. Avoid it if you're ever in Scandinavia.

I recently bought a pair of sweet Puma Ignite Evoknit shoes, they aren't that nice looking by themselves, but they look pretty sweet when they are on your foot. Plus they are wide just the right places.

I think Nike made something similar. I tried those when I was in one of its Store they are super comfy. And they said you can wear them barefoot or something. But I end up buying another pair.

yeah the nike flyknit, I had a pair of those a year ago, they were super comfy, but they don't last that long.

Sadly I couldn't find the "extra" wide model this year so I ended up with Puma's version. You can wear them barefoot, but TBH that is not really my thing. As you probably can see then I like yo have some sort of pattern on my shoes to make them stand out a bit.

What card is that?  Also, I take it you're cooling the card with that?  I'm too lazy to go full exotic with my liquid cooling.  

its a Winforce Fury , and im watercooling an R9 290 , Fury and Fury X (the furys go in one system while the 290 goes in another)

Here's a few things that I paid absolutely nothing for (and the previous owner even delivered them to my door (which is nice as I'd originally planned to collect them).

 

 

The first item being a Dell Precision T1600 fitted with an Intel Pentium G645 (it originally did have a Xeon E3-1245, but the previous owner sold it), 4GB RAM and not much else which after it's finished off its term as a general use system will be upgraded to be a more gaming oriented system.

 

 

And second is a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R fitted with an Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2140 and 2GB DDR2 RAM (because it can use either DDR2 or DDR3 RAM) and nowt all else (which I spent around an hour getting into a case I had to hand) which once I get everything else I need to get it fully running will be used to play games that don't need high system requirements (like those I recently purchased) and will be turned into a file server once I'm able to build the actual system that was taking this place.

 

 

And here's both items in their temporary storage space (with the gigabyte motherboard now in the Bitfenix Nova case I purchased around a year ago).

I would just like to say that that is the most retarded DIMM slot config for a board that supports two different standards of RAM. Like WTF Gigabyte, either do them in pairs or quadruplets, not a quad and dual layout.

That's because that board was released when DDR3 was in its infancy which is most likely why they went for a 4 slot DDR2 setup and only a 2 slot DDR3 setup.

Well yeah but it's still borderline retarded.

I ordered The KKmoon LED Gaming Mouse Pad this week.

I found it at affordable price on Amazon. That's my first online purchase, so I checked carefully my postal code at http://worldpostalcode.com/spain/ to avoid any delivery problems. Hope I'll receive it till this weekend.

Cool.  ?

 

Mirrorless cameras are good right?    I've heard the term but that's about it.

If I went the Nvidia route in Vash I'd probably go Galax too.  IMO, they're the Sapphire of Nvidia cards.

What makes Galax so good in your opinion?  Not saying you're wrong just curious.

They're basically DSLR's without an optical viewfinder.
