#

pretty cool

#

wasnt alive back then

stone wave
#

well about as plug and play as a PS/2 device can get

flint bobcat
#

howd u get your hands on it

stone wave
#

ebay, for parts or repair from a recycler

#

it was a blind impulse buy cause ive been wanting a silver label model with the barcode on the back

#

and they only made those for 6 months

#

its not really worth that much more than any other 80's model m but it looks cool

#

the ones worth money are the SSK which are TKL model m basically

#

and yes mechanical keyboard people are weird

flint bobcat
#

not weird

#

its cool to collect vintage electronics

stone wave
#

i considered going with a retro "sleeper" pc build but that stuff is going up in price to the point where its not really worth it to hack up an old 386 case to stuff modern parts into

flint bobcat
#

i would want a steampunk type of pc case

#

it would look cool

stone wave
#

you ever see a custom water cooling setup with copper or brass hard lines? those are pretty steam punk

flint bobcat
#

o

#

nah never saw

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

thats really cool

#

but i would like a rusted outside design

stone wave
#

doing the hard lines for a custom loop is not for the feint of heart

#

i wouldnt even attempt it

#

you mean patina?

#

you can induce patina in a few ways

flint bobcat
#

patina?

#

whats that

#

im new to this kind of stuff MakinaSmug

stone wave
#

heres my flash light

#

you know how brass is shiny when new

#

the aging is called patina

flint bobcat
#

ooh

stone wave
#

like on antiques

#

theres also patina for cars but that's sort of a different thing

#

forcing patina on brass/copper takes a bit of effort, one way is vinegar/salt bath, another is ammonia fumes and the easiest way is to use an off-the-shelf tarnish (usually sulfur based), so all of them reek to high heaven, then you hit it with 00 or 000 steel wool to get the effect you want

#

it's also considered "fake", some stuff patinas easily over time like brass pens and what not

BRUH WHAT

willow flare
subtle hawk
#

hol' up

#

@willow flare is that thing running hackintosh?

willow flare
#

yup

subtle hawk
#

why

willow flare
#

I dunno lol

#

I think he wanted to build a super beefed up computer but still wants Mac OSX

subtle hawk
#

also mine has moar RGB

willow flare
#

he's got like 5 different setups and like 10 different servers at his house

subtle hawk
#

10 different server

#

my kind of madman

#

I have 10 as well rn in my home

willow flare
#

then 2 super compact setups for on-the-go, one of which is actually powerful enough to run VR

#

plus a crap ton of keyboards of different styles

subtle hawk
#

why use a on the go system when u can have game streaming

willow flare
#

he's a military contractor

#

kinda hard to game stream when in the middle of the desert xD

#

or wherever the fk he goes

subtle hawk
#

fair enough

willow flare
#

I just remember finding it hilarious how the physical HTC Vive + sensors was bigger than the computer that was powering it

subtle hawk
#

yeah you can do that

#

as a security engineer I don't need portability

#

I need pure oomph

#

I just got mine while I was working at a telecom company

willow flare
#

its his main hobby I guess, so its not that ridiculous

subtle hawk
#

why pay for hosting

#

when u can have your own

willow flare
#

lol

#

he was like "yo Keripo, stop deleting all your anime/hentai/porn after you've watched it and start just stashing it all on my servers"

subtle hawk
#

ahem

willow flare
#

apparently even if I had BD rips of all the anime I've watched in my life, he would not fill up all his servers

subtle hawk
#

sounds about right

#

I mean I do have 863 TB of storage myself

#

thinking of breaking the petabyte by the end of the year

willow flare
subtle hawk
#

p much

#

doe they're in a server chassis

#

that weight A FUCKTON

willow flare
#

your AC bill must be through the roof

subtle hawk
#

not rlly

#

here we just pay for AC installation

#

and when the maint has to be done

willow flare
#

ohh, I just realized

subtle hawk
#

more like the power bill

#

I swear the electrical dudes think I'm running a reactor in the basement LeanderXD

willow flare
#

I too also use Z for the drive letter of my main data drive 😛

subtle hawk
#

Z is for the general anime stuff

willow flare
#

not H?

subtle hawk
#

ahem

#

Y is the scratch disk

#

X is for development

willow flare
#

I demand you reassign the drive the letter H

#

something something showing off the size of your H drive

subtle hawk
#

L is for game saves, mods, etc

willow flare
#

L is for lewd mods

valid acorn
#

Hahaha

stone wave
#

Yamato's Linux ISOs not to be confused with his actual Linux ISOs.

violet nexus
#

Fuk i kinda screwed up on putting a RAM in blade server

#

Shud be a1, a2, a3, a4 and b1, b2, b3, b4

#

Not on random RAM slot

mental coyote
#

Pls. Yamato probably has his own OS under secret development.

#

I wonder how large the iso'd be.

stone wave
#

YamatoOS has an AUTOEXEC.BAT that blacklists Aria on startup. AkagiLUL EntyLUL

subtle hawk
#

@violet nexus What are you doing

#

Where’s that

#

proper slot optimization

violet nexus
#

@subtle hawk haha i dont know

#

I was like just put it

subtle hawk
#

using BAT files

#

smh

#

nice kasumiXD

violet nexus
#

I was gonna fill all RAM slot

#

But it might be overkill

#

Coz its 16gb per stick

subtle hawk
#

there's no such thing as overkill

violet nexus
#

rly

subtle hawk
#

at least 64

violet nexus
#

64 is dope enuf

#

It sounds funny but

#

I dont know how to use printer

#

Also installing pc

#

Basically im baf at hardwares

subtle hawk
#

64
enough

#

nah

#

2 TB is maybe enough

flint bobcat
#

if i remove gpu, do i get extra wattage for PSU

subtle hawk
#

ye

#

the GPU is the main power eater

#

outside of the motherboard with the CPU and RAM

flint bobcat
#

my $50 ebay gpu just died

#

had it for like 3 weeks

#

ded

violet nexus
#

Fuk

#

Rip

stone wave
#

ouch see if the buyer protection for ebay/paypal covers you

flint bobcat
#

i was stupid enough to buy it when in guest mode

stone wave
#

at least it was only $50

#

it was probably an old altcoin mining card

#

could have been worse you could have gotten a 1070 or something that did that

#

You can try to find a deal on the 8GB RX 580 which is better than a 1050 ti and on par with a 6 GB GTX 1060.

For the $200 - $250 bracket I'd say GTX 1660, and 1660 ti for sub $300.

If you want used I say go with a manufacturer refurb like EVGA's B-stock. https://www.evga.com/products/ProductList.aspx?type=8 cost more than eBay but they have a 1 year warranty.

subtle hawk
#

@stone wave nobody in their right mind sells a 1060 6 GB for more than 100$ rn

stone wave
#

I was saying BNIB

#

otherwise Aria can end up with another mining card

subtle hawk
#

he might as well save up for something in the 200-300$ range

stone wave
#

maybe hit up /r/hardware swap and hope its better than eBay I guess

#

cause IMO the RX 4xx, 5xx, GTX 9xx and 10xx cards all carry that risk

#

when buying used

subtle hawk
#

today I'm not even gonna play vidya

#

well not on pc atleast

#

such a waste of a 2080 Ti

#

c'mon devs gimme some new games to play

stone wave
#

i had a 1080 and for a good 3 months i was playing OSRS

subtle hawk
#

the life of a high end gamer

#

you run out of games to play

stone wave
#

im waiting for that FE game like Synd

#

but that shit on the Switch

subtle hawk
#

3 houses?

stone wave
#

mm hmm

subtle hawk
#

already pre-ordered

#

I have so many preorders in my backlog

#

can't wait for them all to come out

#

most hyped about pokemon, CoD, death stranding and cyberpunk

stone wave
#

TFW Cyberpunk isn't coming out this year, and you try to forget it exists then AL rubs it in your face.

wonder if anyone's done any Va-11 x Cyberpunk 2077 crossover art yet

flint bobcat
#

@stone wave I need help

stone wave
#

looks like it's atx

subtle hawk
#

that's atx

flint bobcat
#

Just regular atx?

#

It looks so small tho

subtle hawk
#

mini atx is like cut off half of that

stone wave
#

take a ruler and measure it

subtle hawk
stone wave
#

ATX, BTX, micro ATX and ITX are all size specifications

#

so they're built to a size standard

#

some prebuilts though use their own proprietary shit

subtle hawk
#

^

stone wave
#

so seeing a green mobo like that worries me

subtle hawk
#

and that's a prebuilt if I ever saw one

#

a dell one at that

flint bobcat
#

It's Dell optiplex 390

#

I think

#

It's around 10x9 inches

#

I want to know what type because im getting all new parts and want to know if it would fit the case

stone wave
#

if you don't care about how it looks scour craigslist for a new case if you have to

#

if your current doesnt work

subtle hawk
#

just get a new case if ur buying a new mobo + CPU combo

stone wave
#

im tempted to just recommend a Walmart pre-built

flint bobcat
#

I'm not gonna get a new case

subtle hawk
#

NZXT, Phanteks, Corsair make all good cases

#

why not

flint bobcat
#

Cause not enough money

subtle hawk
#

most cases are under 50$

#

for like 30$ you can get a rlly good case

flint bobcat
#

I'm already spending $300 in upgrades

subtle hawk
#

with USB 3 and all the good stuff

stone wave
#

you're in sac town right?

flint bobcat
#

idk, If I have enough left I'll get a new case

#

Yeah I'm in sac

stone wave
#

craigslist

#

check if that case supports an ATX mobo

flint bobcat
#

I'm buying a mobo that supports amd

#

Cause I'm getting ryzen 5 2400g

subtle hawk
#

then don't get a gpu

flint bobcat
#

I'm not

subtle hawk
#

the integrated is rlly good

flint bobcat
#

Yeah no gpu will be in it

stone wave
#

yeah wait until you get more money to budget for a good card

subtle hawk
#

hell you can probably do even better with a small case and mobo

#

loli pc

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

I see a Fractal Design R4 Blackout for $40 in Davis

flint bobcat
#

Damn

stone wave
#

if your local Goodwills have shit go there

flint bobcat
#

Davis is 30 minutes away if you go 80mph

stone wave
#

find like a beige box from the 90's and tear that fucker apart if you have to

flint bobcat
subtle hawk
#

that fractal case

#

dam

#

👌

stone wave
subtle hawk
#

it even has sound proofing

stone wave
#

its an older post but since the listing is still up IDK

flint bobcat
#

Damn

stone wave
#

its CL so you kinda shoot in dark and hope the seller still has it

subtle hawk
#

I mean u can contact them beforehand

stone wave
#

yeah if no response than move on

flint bobcat
#

But yeah, is my mobo currently just an atx?

subtle hawk
#

maybe

#

check the sizes

flint bobcat
#

Actually I think it's micro

#

Because it's close to 9-10

stone wave
#

just bust out a ruler and measure it

flint bobcat
#

I did

stone wave
#

if it doesn't fit when you get your new stuff you can just use the box the motherboard comes in

#

until you can find a case

flint bobcat
#

Use the motherboard box asa case?

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

LOL WHAT

stone wave
#

or an amazon box or something

#

its what most people do when they're just testing parts and don't have a test bench

subtle hawk
#

is that

flint bobcat
#

Imagine having an old school 2000's case with a RX 2080 TI

subtle hawk
#

is that a TV tuner

stone wave
#

IDK i found the pic from google

#

its not my shit

flint bobcat
#

Alright night. Thanks for info guys

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

Do I need water cooling for CPU overclocking?

#

Or does the wraith cooler from the CPU work good enough

#

Since I'm getting ryzen

stone wave
#

I'm not too sure about how it is for AMD since I've been on Intel since before Ryzen launched. Probably better off asking Yamato or looking online.

#

I know the 2400g is overclockable but IDK if you need a specific mobo that allows for it or what. I just know it sort of matters which motherboard you get since some don't handle APU OC as well as others. But chances are the stock cooler wouldn't handle an OC all that well, so mild at best.

subtle hawk
#

stock wraith coolers can handle moderate OC fine

#

and yeah you need mid tier and up motherboards

flint bobcat
#

I'm getting this mobo

tame topaz
#

Pro M2 doesn't have any kind of MOSFET heatsinks I see

#

Mortar seems like a solid choice

flint bobcat
#

MOSFET? what's that

tame topaz
flint bobcat
tame topaz
#

They essentially regulate voltage for your CPU

#

and can run pretty damn hot without good airflow

#

Or a heatsink

subtle hawk
#

@flint bobcat don't even think about overclocking with that APU

#

thst thing will already run hot

flint bobcat
#

Oh

tame topaz
#

I mean for a casul like her going for like 3.9 or 4 would be more than enough

flint bobcat
#

Could i try 3.8

#

Instead

subtle hawk
#

it's also a gamble with the silicon lottery

#

not like those extra few MHz will make a difference

flint bobcat
#

Hmm ok

#

Since I currently have 3.1

tame topaz
#

note: gigahertz mean differently for each CPU

#

don't just use clock speed alone as a comparison metric

subtle hawk
#

Intel is known for high clock speeds on few cores

#

while AMD is the opposite

flint bobcat
#

Hmm

tame topaz
#

But they're getting better bit by bit at least

flint bobcat
#

I mean, is 3.6 good for things like vm

#

Gaming/programming

tame topaz
#

Again don't just use clock speed to measure performance

flint bobcat
#

Hmm ok

#

I'm also upgrading from ddr3 4gb to ddr4 8gb

tame topaz
#

Nice one

flint bobcat
#

I've never had the chance to experience more performance

tame topaz
#

Yeah 8 gigs is essentially the recommended minimum in this day and age

#

Same until last year

flint bobcat
#

I'll be getting another 8 later

#

I have a priority list right now

tame topaz
#

Hopefully I can too within the next year or so

#

RAM prices are really good rn

#

How about the other stuff?

#

Like storage, power and case?

flint bobcat
#

Case I already have one

#

Storage 500GB HDD

#

PSU is good

subtle hawk
#

get SSD

tame topaz
#

what kind?

flint bobcat
#

7200RPM

#

It's kind of old

tame topaz
#

And yes, absolutely get an SSD

#

And no I'm asking PSU

subtle hawk
#

even a 128GB SSD

flint bobcat
#

I'm gonna buy a 1TB SSD

subtle hawk
#

he has some dell OEM PSU

tame topaz
#

Ooh damn

#

oof

flint bobcat
tame topaz
#

If you wanna upgrade in the future you might as well consider upgrading from that too

subtle hawk
#

ketchup and mustard cables, all that good stuff

flint bobcat
#

Right now I'm upgrading mobo, ram, and CPU

tame topaz
#

500W, 80 Plus Bronze is recommended

#

But yeah, you do you

flint bobcat
#

After that, I'm buying a new desk and a new monitor, then storage and PSU

tame topaz
#

I got a 240 gig SATA SSD that plugs into M.2 (don't wanna fiddle with cables) and holy damn I do not regret it at all

subtle hawk
#

storage and PSU first

#

then desk and monitor

flint bobcat
#

Bruh my desk is garbage

#

It's like those old ass glass ones

subtle hawk
#

will it fall into pieces anytime soon?

flint bobcat
#

Well the glass is not glued on anymore

subtle hawk
#

if not then it can live for a couple more months

tame topaz
#

I have a 1m desk that has a tiny ass place for putting in the KB&M and I'm still holding up fine

subtle hawk
#

if the PSU goes hadooken then ripp ur entire pc

flint bobcat
#

Yeah ok, I'll get PSU then

subtle hawk
#

and storage you'll thank me once u get it

flint bobcat
#

Here is my crappy desk MakinaSmug

stone wave
#

i dont think ill ever get a tempered glass table

tame topaz
#

Oh hey it's one of those mousepads again

#

lol

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

you got that Amazon Prime, Prime Day is tomorrow they might have okay deals however unlikely as that is.

flint bobcat
#

I'm getting this cheap desk

#

Or planning to

stone wave
#

got a car? just hit up a thrift store

flint bobcat
#

Ye I got a car

stone wave
#

if you don't care about the desk just get a thrift store one

tame topaz
#

Good ol' Goodwill

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

furniture is dirt cheap cause the shit is hard to get rid of

flint bobcat
#

I just need a sturdy desk that I can fit stuff on

#

And not glas

subtle hawk
#

ye buy a 2nd hand one

tame topaz
#

Then yeah do go for a thrift store

#

tfw absolutely no thrift stores in here

stone wave
#

a desk might be hard to fit in a compact sedan

subtle hawk
#

also >not anime waifu mousepad

stone wave
#

now that i think about it

subtle hawk
#

smh my head

stone wave
#

and by hard i mean impossible

flint bobcat
#

I have a scion IA

#

2016

tame topaz
#

@subtle hawk but it's one of those overused generic world map mouse pads

subtle hawk
#

ik

#

it's so bad

flint bobcat
#

My parents are Christian, they would throw it away instantly

subtle hawk
#

T pose on them

#

assert dominance

flint bobcat
#

I would

#

I would love to get anime styled

#

My room is so normie

subtle hawk
#

I have this supplier that gets me custom mousepads for cheap

flint bobcat
#

Send me supplier BuckySmug

subtle hawk
#

I just whip out the design in PS

#

send it with the money and in a week it's on my doorstep

#

their aliexpress page

stone wave
#

Get an oppai mousepad but instead of boobs have a pair of manjuus. SandyMeme

flint bobcat
#

CleveSparkle woah thanks

#

Kawakaze mouse pad Uzukiiiii Uzukiiiii

#

heres the monitor im planning to get

#

worth it?

stone wave
#

IDK if the selection near you is good but you can get a 1080p monitor for cheap used. Either CL or Goodwill or the FB Marketplace

flint bobcat
#

i'd rather get a new monitor instead

stone wave
#

mm

flint bobcat
#

only thing im willing to get used is the desk

#

anything electronical would be new

subtle hawk
#

I mean if u get smth new

#

might as well get smth high refresh rate

stone wave
#

3440x1440 144hz SandyMeme

flint bobcat
subtle hawk
#

tf

#

overkill much?

#

those monitors go for 1000$ at least

stone wave
#

I was just joking.

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

careful you gonna get blacklisted again

subtle hawk
#

for me ye

flint bobcat
subtle hawk
#

I have unlimited budget works when it comes to pcs

tame topaz
#

So hey I have a bit of an odd issue

subtle hawk
tame topaz
#

So I managed to get Windows up and running again a few days ago

flint bobcat
#

you got unlimited budget works with ur mini data center also

tame topaz
#

Albeit still bluescreens

stone wave
#

$150 can get a 144hz 1080p TN panel

tame topaz
#

But somehow

#

Somehow

#

Despite being a clean install

#

The old borked Windows 10 installation is still there

stone wave
#

but that's before sales tax and monitor recycling fee thing that CA has

tame topaz
#

If I enter that one then it just goes into a recovery loop agaim

stone wave
#

Yeah if you slap Windows on top of an existing installation it does that.

flint bobcat
tame topaz
#

But I mean clean install

stone wave
#

Did you go out of the way and delete all the partitions?

subtle hawk
#

it's because the bootloader is stored in the MBR section

tame topaz
#

And checking Startup Repair log says "boot manager failed to find the OS loader"

flint bobcat
#

if i buy the SSD wouldnt i need to reinstall windows onto it

subtle hawk
#

you need to repartition the entire drive to GPT

#

no

tame topaz
#

Also for some reason all the drive letters are all fucky there

subtle hawk
#

you just need to move over ur stuff

flint bobcat
#

o

subtle hawk
#

but reinstall is highly recommended

tame topaz
#

Like for example the Windows partition is suddenly drive E for example instead of C

flint bobcat
#

well i dont have much on this PC

stone wave
#

Yeah I'd do a clean install Aria.

flint bobcat
#

so i guess i will

stone wave
#

Just install Windows on to a flash drive.

flint bobcat
#

also i get the windows OEM key in ebay for $3

stone wave
#

Yep or from your college.

flint bobcat
#

college removed it

stone wave
#

Oof

subtle hawk
#

I have a full blown license

#

so I can yell at MS if smth breaks

flint bobcat
tame topaz
#

Diskpart says both my SSD and hard drive are GPT, yes

subtle hawk
#

it could be that the EFI partition is fucked

flint bobcat
#

oh yeah yamato, did you here about window's new terminal

subtle hawk
#

ye I did

tame topaz
#

But the system partition is FAT32 not NTFS like the others

flint bobcat
#

its really cool

tame topaz
#

I dunno if that's supposed to be normal

subtle hawk
#

ye

#

EFI is always FAT

#

since it's made to be compatible with anything

tame topaz
#

I see

#

Yeah I think I will need to get that fixed

#

...looks like I exacerbated things. @subtle hawk

#

I formatted the boot partition and it still gave me an "access is denied" error

#

When I tried bootrec/fixboot

#

Alright copied files back to boot partition and HEY the borked installation is gone!

@flint bobcat yes it is

There are even heat issues with this thing too

#

The RGB runs too hot.

MutsukiStare wat

subtle hawk
flint bobcat
#

there is a cheaper corsair 8gb ddr4 ram but

#

i want to get hyperx

#

since i already have cloud 2 headphones and want to make it themed

subtle hawk
#

pls no

#

@flint bobcat get the highest speed RAM u can get

#

DDR4-3000 at least

#

3200 would be best

#

the more the better for ryzen

flint bobcat
#

max i can get is 2933

subtle hawk
#

corsair has some cheapo 3000 MHz RAM

#

trust me you want that 20 to 30% performance boost

flint bobcat
#

wait can i use 3000 even if its 2933?

subtle hawk
#

no

flint bobcat
#

o

subtle hawk
#

unless it's B die

#

then u can OC it

#

but B die RAM is very expensive

flint bobcat
#

the ones i found are more expensive than what i already have in cart

subtle hawk
#

well ye

#

u pay for better

flint bobcat
#

wait actually

subtle hawk
#

on Intel the RAM speed barely makes a difference

#

on Ryzen it makes one helluva difference

flint bobcat
#

wow

tame topaz
#

I managed to bump my Adata XPG stick up to 2666 (from 2400)

#

Lower timings too

#

That's how infinity fabric works

flint bobcat
#

ok ill try to put in more money for 2933mhz speed

#

only one i found was a rgb hyperx 2933mhz 1x8

#

@subtle hawk i think i can just use 3000mhz on 2400g

#

im looking it up, and says people do use it, but on amd website is shows 2933mhz

subtle hawk
#

you can use lower speed RAM but it'll hurt your performance

flint bobcat
#

wdym?

I forgot why I went with 2666MHz stick instead of 3000MHz

#

also that discount

stone wave
#

get that Prime day shit if you want it since its only for a day or however long

severe falcon
#

ok im really confused

#

ive been watching the full races of formula e on their official youtube which has been streaming them live and leaving them up for anyone to watch, i can watch any of them EXCEPT THE ONLY RACES IN THE US

#

like can anyone just say: "i want to completely block access to this video to anyone in the US" or some other BS like that?

flint bobcat
flint bobcat
#

ye but

#

i dont have enough money for that

#

i got my money to buy the other stuff now

stone wave
#

oof i guess just go for the V-Color RAM for now

#

@flint bobcat did you buy anything yet?

flint bobcat
#

I'm waiting for 1 day delivery to pop up :ree

stone wave
#

were you planning on an SSD?

flint bobcat
#

That's later, right now I'm buying a CPU, motherboard and ram

stone wave
#

I got a spare I can donate to the cause if you want.

flint bobcat
#

I mean if you want to

stone wave
#

I don't mind, it's a reasonably good one.
Just gotta DM me your address if you want.

#

I'll just USPS 3-day it w/ tracking when I got the time.

flint bobcat
#

How much storage is on it?

stone wave
#

It's a 500 GB Crucial something or another m.2 SATA SSD, it's sitting in a 2.5" enclosure too, so you can use it as a m.2 or 2.5"

flint bobcat
#

Wait how would I insert that into mobo

stone wave
#

youtube guide

#

i also got it inside an enclosure

#

so its more like a traditional SSD

#

so which ever works for you

flint bobcat
#

Ah

#

Because my mobo I'm getting only has a gpu slot with 2 ram slots

stone wave
#

ill look in to it later but if you want to take me up on it just DM me cause i g2g

#

cause work etc

flint bobcat
#

Aight

stone wave
#

but i can mail off tomorrow and send you tracking

flint bobcat
#

Sounds good

stone wave
flint bobcat
stone wave
#

nice

flint bobcat
#

@stone wave there is a guarenteed delivery for the 18th (thurs). or i can wait for tomorrow and get a 1 day shipping

#

what should i do

#

since there is a guarenteed delivery for 17h

#

and i need to wait for it to go away

stone wave
#

problem is split deliveries even if they're the same day they can be different carriers

#

like USPS, UPS, Amazon Logistics

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

You see the area I drew on, that's an M.2 slot

flint bobcat
#

o dam

#

nice

stone wave
#

You can fit either a M.2 SATA SSD or a M.2 NVME SSD

flint bobcat
#

so will urs fit

stone wave
#

yeah but im also leaving it in an adapter so you can plug it in like a regular hard drive

#

so you can do either

flint bobcat
#

o ok

flint bobcat
#

@stone wave GWcorsairAWAUKEN

#

i did it

stone wave
flint bobcat
#

woah

severe falcon
#

looks like alot of empty space

stone wave
#

I had it in an enclosure case Z170

#

I already had a NVME drive occupying my 1 slot

severe falcon
#

no like i mean all the semingly unused blue around the main chip

stone wave
#

beats me

flint bobcat
#

@stone wave

stone wave
#

is the seller legit?

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

you can try and see if you win

flint bobcat
#

is 43 inches good

#

actually nvm, the shipping costs more than the actual product

valid acorn
#

Duh

tame topaz
#

@flint bobcat also you missed out on a really fucking good deal

#

R7 2700 + X470 board for $249

#

On newegg

flint bobcat
#

nah its fine

#

i dont need a gpu atm

tame topaz
#

oh right

#

oof

#

Forgot that the 2700 doesn't have an iGPU and you don't have a graphics card

flint bobcat
#

@stone wave GWshizuPlsRember

#

I don't get it

#

Is it arriving in 1 day, or Thursday

stone wave
#

idk amazon warehouse workers are striking aren't they?

#

could be fudging stuff up

flint bobcat
#

GWshizuPlsRember is that why I don't fukin have 1 day shipping anymore

stone wave
#

prime day presumably has a higher volume of shipment in a day than other days aside from the holiday season

#

but IDK your guess is as good as mine

flint bobcat
subtle hawk
#

it's because of time

#

there's a queue of orders

#

so your order got into the tomorrow queue

valid acorn
#

Delivery by 9pm

#

Do delivery workers work this late?

depends

if you city/town is big enough probably

I've legit gotten an Amazon package at 9 PM, it was from one of those Amazon delivery drivers, I felt bad for him.

Pretty amazing how far iGPUs have come.

stone wave
#

GTX 1030 actually

tame topaz

Yeah the 1030

#

As well as somewhere in between the 750 and 750 Ti

not the 1030 DDR4 tho, that thing is just fucking disgusting

Can you give us your model no, and maybe what parts do you need

quartz atlas
#

anyone has an opinion on spring-drives vs automatics?

severe falcon
#

it sounds like this is now #firearms

quartz atlas
severe falcon
#

OH watches

#

i like skeleton spring drive ones, but mine has to be wound regularly

#

they are also pretty cheap on amazon

quartz atlas
#

MutsukiHyperStare springdrive is only made by Grand Seiko

#

they dont have skeleton watches afaik

severe falcon
#

wait

tame topaz
#

I personally don't care about watches at all

severe falcon
#

i thought spring drive just meant it uses a spring instead of a motor

tame topaz
#

Heavy and hot

#

I prefer the like of the Mi Band

#

lightweight and isn't that hot

#

not to mention functional

severe falcon
#

pure mechanical timekeeping

quartz atlas
#

so manual eh?

#

i have never had a manual

tame topaz
#

tbh I would like a salvador dali watch

quartz atlas
#

but my automatic wears down fast enough that I have to wind it every other day

severe falcon
#

wait

#

waht do you mean by automatic then?

#

cuz most watches never have to be wound

quartz atlas
tame topaz
#

nice one

#

The new 4 stripes HP logo

severe falcon
#

oh i always call those self wound watches

flint bobcat
#

Why use old school when you can use smart watches Uzukiiiii

quartz atlas
#

smart watches 🚮

subtle hawk
#

it's not mechanical enough

severe falcon
#

i got to see my grandparent's old grandfather clock with its chime shroud off and the amount of gears was insane

tame topaz
#

@quartz atlas not trash for someone who can't take hot and heavy "real" watches

quartz atlas
#

they dont need to be heavy or hot tho? ThinkZed

tame topaz
#

so far as I can see they all are

#

except for the small ones which I don't like

quartz atlas
#

only the metal chronos are heavy tbh

#

the rest are all pretty slim and light

tame topaz
#

smartwatches can be heavy too

#

and big

quartz atlas
#

especially dress watches

severe falcon
#

also if they are metal then they should eb cold since they direct heat away from your skin

tame topaz
#

the Mi Band is just right for me

#

I mean

quartz atlas
#

silicon traps heat quite well actually ThinkZed

tame topaz
#

I'm still a schoolboi so that wouldn't matter much

quartz atlas
#

thats true

tame topaz
#

Also I have tiny wrists

#

So I get pretty finicky with straps

quartz atlas
#

just use claps, set and forget

tame topaz
#

tight-fitting is uncomfortable, too loose is too annoying

#

Hard to find a middle ground

quartz atlas
#

thats why get a clasp, find the fit u like, set and forget

tame topaz
#

what is that?

quartz atlas
tame topaz
#

oof I thought you meant that thing that you slap on your writst and it wraps around it

#

still tho what the hecc is that

quartz atlas
#

nah, its a type of closure for watch straps

tame topaz
#

I just don't care about fashion in general

#

Because why the hell should I

#

I only care if there are dress codes in place and that's it

quartz atlas
#

its not really about fashion tho ThinkZed

tame topaz
#

watches generally are to me

#

I like smartwatches because they're more geared towards practicality

quartz atlas
#

smartwatches are like phones, they are fragile, doesnt last long, and constantly needs a charge and be connected. not very practical as a "watch".

tame topaz
#

I don't even connect my smartwatch lol

#

Just use it to check the time and my step count

#

Again

#

I choose the Mi Band

#

Simply because

#
  1. I like tech
  2. It's small
subtle hawk
#

my old smart watch runs on button cell LaffeyDrink

tame topaz
#

Too bad I lost it on the bus

subtle hawk
#

it's funny to see watch repairman's reaction on that

quartz atlas
#

EntyLUL button cell

#

what other stuff does it do?

#

then thats not really a smartwatch no? ThinkZed whats even classified as a smartwatch these days? @tame topaz

tame topaz
#

no

#

like it can connect to phone

#

But I choose not to

quartz atlas
#

i had a fitbit hr 2

tame topaz
#

Because parents only allow me to bring a brick phone to school lol

quartz atlas
#

but eh, the battery died after 2 years LaffeyDrink

tame topaz
#

oof

#

The battery can last a month without charge

quartz atlas
#

also, activity and fitness bands arent smartwatches, the apple watch and samsung gear is smartwatches.

#

xiaomi does make some quality products for the price

subtle hawk
#

hm really

#

then that one isn't a smart watch then

quartz atlas
#

oh ye, the question was directed at you, what did your do?

#

other than tell time? ThinkZed

subtle hawk
#

you define it based on the ability to install apps right

#

timer and step counter

quartz atlas
subtle hawk
#

that's all I think

#

ah, touchscreen

quartz atlas
#

or from techterms.com
A smartwatch is a digital watch that provides many other features besides timekeeping. Examples include monitoring your heart rate, tracking your activity, and providing reminders throughout the day. Like a smartphone, a smartwatch has a touchscreen display, which allows you to perform actions by tapping or swiping on the screen.

stone wave
#

I got the Galaxy Watch, probably the best one on the market cause it has that bezel you can turn to navigate the smartwatch stuff.

#

If you want analog, a Timex Weekender is good on a budget, Casio for digital, Casio G-Shock for digital/analog or a more rugged model. a "Pepsi" Seiko or Citizen Eco Drive for a nice analog that doesn't completely break the bank.

tame topaz
#

I'd rather buy a PC component/peripheral than a singular use thing like a watch

flint bobcat
#

@stone wave is that gear s3?

tame topaz
#

Galaxy Watch like he said

stone wave
#

Galaxy Watch

quartz atlas
#

ye, the gear series are amongst the best smartwatches out there rn imo

flint bobcat
#

oh

stone wave
#

with a bezel ring on it

flint bobcat
#

that thing is almost $300

stone wave
#

cause its kinda ugly without one

quartz atlas
#

personally, if i ever get a smart watch, galaxy gear is the way to go

#

but

#

eh

stone wave
#

yeah if all you want to do is look at your wrist to tell time, almost anything will do

#

and if you want a watch that lasts more than a few years smartwatches are a no go

quartz atlas
#

i swear tho, once you feel the heartbeat of a mechanical watch on your wrist, its hard to go back

tame topaz
#

I still want a Salvador Dali watch

#

despite me heavily objecting to buying a watch at all

stone wave
#

Mmm yeah I tried my pop's Rolex Datejust, shit's nice but a bit rich for my blood

severe falcon
#

i really hate libraries

tame topaz
#

Like I said there is more stuff I can buy than just a thing you wear on your writst that only serves a single function that barely anybody notices

flint bobcat
stone wave
#

like i said a bit rich for my blood

tame topaz
#

Look at those things.

#

The price of a high end PC

quartz atlas
#

nah, datejust or submariners are honestly meh imo

#

i like a good chrono

stone wave
#

I'd love to have an Omega Submariner and live out my James Bond fantasy though fesh.

quartz atlas
#

or a simple clean dial

stone wave
#

It's cheaper than a DB5

tame topaz
#

That said

#

THAT SAID

#

I really want that Toro Rosso Edifice

#

It just looks really rad okay

quartz atlas
#

im weighing my choice btwn an omega and GS for my next watch

stone wave
#

You know those brass dive watches

tame topaz
#

I mean look at this

#

It just looks really fucking cool

stone wave
#

I want a workout while I lift up my left hand.

quartz atlas
#

i cant afford that lmao

stone wave
#

I want a Bell & Ross

#

can't afford that

quartz atlas
#

its like twice my budget

#

but fking hell, its cool

stone wave
#

if you taking simple Bell & Ross about as simple as it gets

tame topaz
#

That said for a budget model this looks pretty cool too

#

yeah as you can tell I like watches that looks kinda technological with lots of stuff going on

stone wave
#

I think I'd take a Citizen Eco Drive Chronograph if I were after a budget chrono

quartz atlas
tame topaz
#

holy damn

stone wave
#

Is that the speedmaster?

quartz atlas
#

yups

#

speedmaster moonwatch

tame topaz
#

anything good below 100?

#

or maybe even 50

stone wave
#

Timex Weekender?

tame topaz
#

chrono

quartz atlas
#

ThinkZed i dont think so

tame topaz
#

no I'm asking for a chrono

#

and nah that Weekender looks like any other watch

stone wave
#

Pay a bit more and go with the Eco-Drive

#

Maybe a Seiko

tame topaz
#

still looks about like any other watch

stone wave
#

what are you looking for?

quartz atlas
tame topaz
#

literally anything that doesn't look like a generic round watch that's all

stone wave
#

just get any chrono and switch to a NATO strap

#

Scrounge up 3 grand and get that Bell & Ross I was talking about earlier

#

lol

tame topaz
#

nah

#

I've seen way too many cheapo watches that look like that

#

generic round watches

#

THIS is more my jam

#

Nubia Alpha

#

Flexible smartwatch

stone wave
#

that's a smartwatch

tame topaz
#

with a long ass screen

#

exactly

stone wave
#

then get a smartwatch?

tame topaz
stone wave
#

I got one, I can change the watch face if I feel like it

tame topaz
#

exactly

subtle hawk
#

yeah WarShrug

tame topaz
#

so it just loops back to being "smartwatch good, mechanical bad"

#

lol

tame topaz

is that a motherfucking sun dial lmao

again I'd rather not buy a watch at all and spend it on PC components

#

That kinda money can be put elsewhere

#

Maybe better peripherals

#

Keyboard with proper Cherry switches

quartz atlas
#

im pretty sure you wont buy a pc with the $ that's used to buy the boi above

stone wave
#

I went backwards with my keyboard...

tame topaz
#

pretty much yes

severe falcon
#

yeah that watch looks more like sports car money

stone wave
#

Like 1986 backwards...

quartz atlas
#

that boi i just sent costs ~100k EntyLUL

flint bobcat
#

@quartz atlas whats that watch called

quartz atlas
#

one day, i will sell my house and buy that shit

I once saw a Bentley watch that wasn't any better

u know i can check logs GWossuKannaSip

flint bobcat

also @stone wave since u know smth

stone wave
#

?

quartz atlas

springdrive or automatic

stone wave

#

seikos are classic

quartz atlas
tame topaz
#

damn

stone wave
#

I want a Seiko Sportura SLQ007

flint bobcat

I wanna buy a camera

flint bobcat
quartz atlas
tame topaz
#

woah what the hell

stone wave
#

it got that look

tame topaz
#

now that's different

stone wave
#

its also like $2500

flint bobcat
#

bruh that looks like a steampunk watch

quartz atlas
#

seriously the more i look at the dial the sexier it get

#

not GS one, not the monster above

severe falcon
#

ehh i like skeletons more

stone wave
#

i think it looks cool like a car dashboard

quartz atlas
#

@severe falcon the nardin is a skeleton more or less BuckySmug

tame topaz
#

I want a watch laden with chronos

#

dials within dials

severe falcon
#

kindof, but my skeleton has glass on both sides so i can see my skin behind the gears

tame topaz
#

that tells the fucking temperature or something

severe falcon
#

telling approx temp is easy

#

its a bimetal strip

tame topaz
#

and humidity and all those important metrics

quartz atlas
#

how on earth would a chrono tell you the temperature MutsukiHyperStare

#

thats solely the realm of digital watches

severe falcon
#

the same way an old thermostat does

quartz atlas
#

go get a casio for that

severe falcon
#

its a metal strip and a coil spring

quartz atlas
#

yes, wear that on your wrist EntyLUL

severe falcon
#

i mean temperature physics work at all scales

quartz atlas
#

but seriously tho, if you want a fully sensored up watch, get a casio

tame topaz
#

or Edifice

stone wave
#

Breitling makes some nice looking chronos

#

But...

#

they're like 2k+

tame topaz
#

Edifice's chronos looks really fucking good

severe falcon
#

like old thermostats have entirely mechanical systems, get that binary crap outta here

tame topaz
#

I'm in love

quartz atlas
#

ye they do, but they dont do in house movements

#

iirc

#

need to check

#

its a shame GS doesnt do automatics

stone wave
#

I mean considering how prolific japanese quartz movements are now hard to blame anyone for not making their own movements.

quartz atlas
#

most big names still do

tame topaz
#

say is slient quartz popular for watches?

stone wave
#

err common af

tame topaz
#

Not that it'll matter for watches anyway

quartz atlas
#

actually, screw omega. im getting myself that grand seiko snowflake

tame topaz

just the smooth movement

thanks for the input guys DorkHeart

tame topaz
#

I want one with the built in calculator

quartz atlas
#

they change the time automatically

#

cool as shit

severe falcon
#

bruh my PHONE cant even do that

#

it cant even keep the min right

quartz atlas
#

they have radio stations tuned specifically for their watches to automatically adjust the time

tame topaz
#

F-91Ws. Cheap and cheerful.

severe falcon
#

i get texts from the past, like people will respond to my texts and my carrier tells my phone that they came from a time before i sent mine so my text convos are impossible to read

tame topaz

My kinda thing tbh.

quartz atlas

lmao wtf

tame topaz
#

I'd like one

quartz atlas

how does your phone not keep time

#

im confused

stone wave
#

IDK I think mine syncs online for time keeping.

#

IDK how that shit works for phones.

quartz atlas
#

computer and phones all sync online now

severe falcon
#

its internal clock is just bad, like it works if it synced with 4g or wifi but half the time it just decides thats impossible

quartz atlas
#

how do you have phones that dont keep time EntyLUL

#

pretty sure its a software issue

stone wave
#

Back in my day, my shit depended on the CMOS battery for time keeping. [SHAKES FIST]

quartz atlas
#

how old are u smh

severe falcon
#

mine literally checks if it can sync when its network changes and then never checks again so if it cant in the millisecond after it connects then it never syncs

stone wave
#

thats actually not that old im just being stupid

quartz atlas
#

@severe falcon get a new phone

severe falcon
#

its a samsung note 5

#

its their crappy coding thats the problem
