If someone designed a closed-loop glycol-chiller for PC that was proven to be able to drop temps by more than 50C, I'd probably already have one.  Instead, every cooling system for PC really just uses water (90% or more) and a heat/air exchanger with some fans.

 

I have even seen glycol-chillers used for ice-skating road-shows, where the ice rink is set up temporarily.  Makes a good substitute for the ammonia / brinewater used by hockey rinks in poured-concrete rinks.

So, thought I may as well show this off

Indeed they are. I use them for analog stick pushes

SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 6950 XT PURE - Fans

IIRC GNSteve was a fan of liked these sortsa fans?
Not for the design – more for the metal contacts-and-pins attachment, for easier serviceability by dum-dum derpdorps like me. 

 

SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 6950 XT PURE - Top?
Why’s their product name and brand name in all-caps.

It makes me sound obnoxious every time I try to write it.

Very pretty shroud, though.

Good units my family runs 3 of them and no complains.

[RevoltTrain]

This TV stand was my latest addition to the office. Great way to show off the console collection, still need to actually get everything wired up, but it's coming along

They finally arrived... 2 25 bucks backer gift Mugs from Viva La Dirt League for my Work Meetings =)

The aftermarket GPU-stick, used. Better a used high end stick than nothing:

I actually had to Google middle finger images for work this afternoon, there's surprisingly little decent choice and that ended up being the one I used

I've decided 100% for sure I want an A770. They dropped way too early in the morning for me to be around, but still got some stuff in preparation. The 6800xt and an A770 will be asking a whole lot of my Lian Li case, and I don't have any more spots to plug in PCIE power on my 600W power supply, so I've given in. I have options here, the new 1000W could go in my daily computer, or it could go in my folding machine and trade out for an 850W. I'm undecided what way I want to go with it though. I know I won't need 1000W in this computer, but there are thoughts of water cooling it later on anyways.

I suggested them to @An0maly_76a while back and he enjoyed it. It was a natural jump from the lian li.

I would definitely try one out if I didn't just move my build into the new Lancool III. A very similar case to the one you just bought

That was a very close second, but for some reason the 5.25 bays is what had me go for the Fractal. I don't know what I'll do with them, but I'll find something.

I'm gonna be getting the Pop Air mini when they come in stock in UK for those very 5.25 inch bays.

The new GamersNexus Amp Modmat, signed of course: 

As always they include a grounding strap kit:

All 4 Mousepads:

The Small PC Blow Up Crystal Ball:

GPU Artifacting T-Shirt:

Limited Edition GamersNexus PC Skeleton Design T-Shirt:

iFixit opening tools and Project tray:

Since some of the opening pics from my Pro Tech Toolkit are very used. Also I've wanted to get these Prob and pick tools for some time.

 

4x Club 3D USB C to C "Gen3x2" Cables. I just needed more C to C Cables and funnily enough these were just 23 Bucks each. So they do 40Gbps and 100W of PD:

Herman Miller Embody

Why am I like this.

Take my wallet away from me.

 

Secondhand Herman Miller Embody for a flat $900. Haggled it down from $995.
No taxes, no shipping fees from the seller.
Just had to bribe my friendo and her mom with lunch to use their car. 

 

Look, listen, a’ight, new Herman Miller Embodys retail for ≈$1,700 now – and that’s not even factoring in taxes.

 

Now I can dump that old WorkSmart SMH2036-EC3 chair that was a (free) hand-me-down from the previous roommate / housemate.

Roni Size Reprazent, Newforms

[Bitter]

8GB DDR4 2400 CL17 to fill out my laptop to 16GB dual channel. I could have gotten a kit of 16GB DDR4 2400 CL14 but it's $45+ for that vs $16 shipped for the single stick of slow stuff. It's a laptop, just having dual channel will make a difference even if it's slow.

Absolutely loving it so far, but it is day one, so we'll have to wait and see
