Do you mind if I ask approximately where you live?

 

AMD?  They don't make phone cases for that do they?  lol 

 

 

Well, Im based in the US in Wisconsin. Quite boring honestly and isn't the most friendly place for people like me sadly. Also no AMD doesn't lol, There are places where you can make custom cases that's why

And before anyone decides to chew me out for buying used hard drives, they aren't a permanent solution since it's just to get that dell I got a few weeks ago running and even if one of them did fail, they'll be replaced since they're under a two year warranty.

Just the good stuff, embarking on the journey of my first 5.1 surround setup!

the list includes:

-Denon AVR-X2400H (can't get away from the Denons!)

-Monitor Audio Bronze 6

-Monitor Audio Bronze FX

-Monitor Audio Bronze Centre

-AAT Cube Rakt 12' subwoofer

 

I plan on integrating Atmos ceiling speakers to the setup when possible as well.

Can't wait for them to arrive!

AV forums are saying its quite the device, i was between it and the Yamaha RX-V683, but in the end the Denon has a few more features and seems like a more solid device, its definitely one hell of an upgrade in comparison with my old AVR-1602, hehe.

Bought a really inexpensive wireless router to use as a Wifi Access Point as my house was built in 1901 and the walls are thick as hell. Was having issues with connectivity with my NAS over wifi in my bedroom so its now on my wall just for use up here :).

 

 

Only cost £17.99 with free delivery, its only WiFi N but that's fine!

[Ես վատ]

every bioshock game even the remasters

[SkilledRebuilds]

My Single 120mm Radiator needs to be upgraded, but I'm pretty happy with the improved results to my hobbyist (5-10min file) encoding. (1440p/60fps/40-60Mbps)
(i5 4690@3.9Turbo but 3.7Ghz(Loaded)->i7 4790K@4.6Ghz all cores (Loaded)
Got this at a nice price, and have recouped some from my i5 4690 sell.

16GB DDR3 2400Mhz is on the way as well, replacing the same memory in 8GB form.

*I'm also using a Sickelflow 2000RPM'r (cringe!) which is quite loud even at the 60% it gets to, it will be replaced too (purchased fans with the Ram)

Wisconsinites UNITE!!!

 

How can you not like Wisconsin? We have loads of cheese, and beer! Wisconsin Dells, the north woods, lake michigan... etc... amazing sights to be seen if you go exploring. We also have the summerset music festival! (Totally worth it to go there!) Don't forget summerfest and all of our disc golf courses as well.

[Volbet]

Saw this at a local thrift store

An OG press of Kreator's Endless Pain. There was no way I would refuse it a good home. It's a classic from the Teutonic thrash metal scene.

It also sounds amazing for a 30 year old used records. 

Fly the fucking flag of hate.

[RatedBlam]

Went to a thrift store to pick up some of the albums nobody cares about for some reason.

Didn't get them all this time, only the 3 last ones(not the cd).

They're WD so I'd trust them better than other brands.  ?

Cool.  Idk about older cards do you know about where that card was in terms of performance within that generation of Nvidia cards?

1901?    I bet it either have a lot of "character" (old house charm I guess it could be called) or have issues from showing its age.  Hopefully the former not the latter

I have that The Wall movie but I don't think I remember understanding what was going on.  

 

Unfortunately I think my interest in Pink Floyd is limited to Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 and thinking the album cover art for Dark Side of the Moon is cool.  ?

I'm not really a fan of beer.  Whiskey is pretty much all I drink and even that not too often just because my love of soda is too strong.  lol

 

I haven't been to the Dells in years but it's great.  Pirate mini golf and Noah's Ark are awesome.

 

Door County is nice too though I haven't seen all of it.

You could always move whether now or in the future.  To somewhere in this state that isn't so rural.  Like a suburb of Milwaukee perhaps?

From my understanding the album is about anti-conformity and so on. 

Though, it's hard to understand as Pink Floyd is/was a psychedelic rock group and that genre makes some goofy music as it is.

I remember there was a plot summary of the movie on the back of the case but I'd have to find my copy to check.

Nah im way off that, Somewhere near Madison or Jefferson. I used to live in Milwaukee though and that was fun

"The Wall is a rock opera that explores abandonment and isolation, symbolised by a metaphorical wall. The songs create an approximate storyline of events in the life of the protagonist, Pink, a character based on Syd Barrett as well as Roger Waters, whose father was killed during the Second World War."

Hmm.

Sorry.  I meant maybe those would be more appealing places to live if you want a less isolated location.

That sounds roughly what I think the summary on the case said.  ?
