capacitors make sense true
the only decent psus I can find at $60 are are MSI and Corsair and EVGA
the rest are bombs
oh there's also the Apevia Prestige
that's an acceptable psu
$24 tho
what a steal
tbh I dunno Apevia
I used to go based on that cultists PSU tier list but I think they stopped updating it awhile ago now
I should check
that one's from 2023 I think
I'm there now & it doesn't look like it
sad
last update on the website was 05/11/2024 for something phanteks
so at least the site is still running-ish
ig 6 months ago is awhile now
lol derp
they're European
maybe there wasn't anything worth updating
Worst case you can sometimes flash bios over spi
Rather, you almost always can, but some boards make it easy with an spi header, e.g. asus
I also like how they put their sources in the tier list
so you could check their sources for reviews
sometimes the sources have more info than the tier list for a specific model
they don't explicit state some models so it comes in handy
isn't that the mystery header for servicing that doesn't appear in the BIOS manual
some boards have
like this thing I noticed on XZ670E Taichi?
lol brilliant how they use the pinout for argb
is it just the contrast or does it look melted off
lol it does but I think there's just something on there
exaggerated by camera flash
the manual pretends it isn't there
It's how the CIA extract data
mine has the little POST code thing but I think you could connect one there
Idk if they actually exist i just vaguely remember a youtube video with something like that
there's these things
does anyone know if the 9800x3d deals are actually in stock while the 9800x3d itself isnt in stock? like if i buy the deal with the 9800x3d be shipped with the order or will i have to wait for it to be restccked
so i cannot add the 9800x3d to my cart but if i buy a combo with a motherboard and 9800x3d i can buy it
on newegg
"Combos may be removed from orders if any item is out of stock, or if you order a quantity beyond the set limit."
looks like you're not gonna get a 9800x3d
wdym
"Combos may be removed from orders if any item is out of stock..."
wouldnt the combo be out of stock then? or does it not work like that
the cpu is out of stock
not the motherboard
they'll just remove it from your order
It's a logistical thing
probably too much hassle to change every one individually every time one item goes out of stock
like while theyre processing it? they'll just ship the cpu out when it restocks then?
i just ordered it and everything went through
eventually
well they did say "may"
so there's a chance you'll get your cpu
🤷♂️
i see
doubt it
all g
they way i saw it was that they kept some 9800x3ds in stock in order to sell motherboards as a combo so they can profit more
Possible but unlikely
Don’t have to be so cynical
Some places have been reserving stock for combos since all the shortages in the past
I'm not being cynical I just don't think it's likely
The site phrased it in a pretty specific way
He wants a beer
Can't bear waiting any longer
Bear or Arch Linux?
Can you undervolt arc
Rumia be like
Alr so you can but not through the arc driver
You gotta download a third party program
what do you guys think of that NZXT flex thing?
no
thought so too
you're better off trying to save money
just saw it right now and thought wtf lol?
its a ripoff since you never own it
fo realsies
Sorry ma’am, you’ve just lost me as an employee
I have a wife and I’m not interested in a balloon shaped person
Who texts their employees from a personal phone
Use email
who cares tbh
my boss does too
i would see if they were doing more sensitive stuff then i agree
She was creepy the entire process
Asked me stuff unrelated to the job
Gave me weird compliments
Like stuff you should not tell an employee
well thats a plot twist
mine make male genital jokes
but thats fine
cause hes the same age as me XD
She’s twice my age
What he she do ....??

bought the case I wanted I got 4 things so far
Part List - AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, NZXT H9 Elite ATX Mid Tower
Waaaaaa I need a 40s strix
Would have preffered a Antec flux pro at that price point
To me it’s ugly
I like the
Antec c5
Lian li o11
Nzxt h9 elite
Is this cable management good like putting the GPU cable directly up?
I may use that as my reference because I really like it
The what
Sick build tho
lol my friend sent me a photo of that motherboard and it made me almost want it
I didn't see the price but I saw that it was white and an X870E and I’m like "ehhhh"
That’s how companies price things lol
Make the product. It costs $x. For profit, make it $x * y%
lol
fair
How it should be anyways. Not like Apple where they’re like "yeah here's a phone that costs $500 to make (top-end iPhone btw). We'll charge you $1500 for it though"
In what world
Good finally
It's twice the price of their other all white board
hmm
White tax
well im honestly outta loop these days
laptops be my specialty
Why are AMD chipsets so expensive bruh
People be like "you get more PCIe lanes with AMD" without realizing how expensive the motherboards are lol
Cos chipsets are as much the marketing as marketing itself
"It's X870 so it's the best"
Then you get a board with a vrm good enough for a 7600
Manus are intentionally misleading by omitting the info that actually makes a difference to performance
The chipset is NOT a factor to that
But they won't sell these boards if they told you that
lol I still can't comprehend what a good and bad VRM setup is
"Chipset good so must be good board" lolll
nah I just look at reviews and see what the reviewer says about the board. I have yet to have something go horribly wrong but still I don't understand VRMs and how to determine a good setup from a bad setup
Intel Arc B580 in more details We are learning some new details about the upcoming Intel Battlemage GPU series. This night, Amazon spoiled Intel’s plan for the grand reveal of the Battlemage GPU series. The company has been extremely quiet about its plans for discrete graphics cards, to the point where no one knew anything […]
arc leeks
12gb vram, that's a ton
Listen to maybe 2 videos from Buildzoid about "Motherboard roundup" rants and you'll be pretty much on the ball about it when you're done
There will be a few extra bits but you'll be basically there afterwards
Lol
Gotcha thanks lol
Intel upping their game on their gpus
Hopefully better than their CPUs
lol
Need lots of budlight to listen to anything buildzoid
Monitor manufacturers are even worse
You're adopted
What????
We had to tell you sooner or later 😔
I found a fumote
Rust programming and crabs
Gamechanging is certainly a way to put it
Erm acksully it's polymerized oil, similar to how people season their cast iron or carbon steel pans 
Which is technically a plastic coating
Since it's a polymer
it can either be game changing or a huge distraction
Pcie 5.0 x8?
Why not x16
Ain't this bad when you install it on a pcie 3.0 board?
yeah
but
pcie 3.0 is also kinda getting pretty old
you'd have to have a fairly old pc to still use 3.0
True...
I was only hoping for Intel to sell it to as many systems as possible
Guess you need a pcie 4.0 board or higher to utilize their arc products properly

AMD Ryzen 9 9000X3D SKUs launching by end of January The rumor comes from reliable AMD leaker. According to Hoang Anh Phu, a leaker with a good track record for AMD hardware disclosures, the company is now expected to launch the remaining SKUs for the Ryzen 9000X3D series by the end of January. AMD was […]
I mean if it's a 1080p GPU, that's fair enough
but 1440p... Eh
🥱🥱 what time is it?
i havent kept up to date with vram usages recently
hearing that 12gb isnt enough for something like 1440p is kinda crazy to hear
me playing roblox daily:
me remembering that 2080ti was 12gb of vram and was suppost to be for 4k
how the hell a roblox game dragging down your 4050
i blame the game engine if anything else roblox is ass at doing anything efficiently
they've only added occlusion culling just recently
and it's optional
finally has a feature that selectively renders objects
So I need it?
doubt
What in the
I use an 8gb card at 1440p and am fine
Now, I wouldn't advise someone to buy an 8gb card today
But I think vram has been slightly overemphasized in PC circles recently.
(3060 buyers coping perhaps?)
8gb is still just fine. not necessary for everyone but depending on the apps and games you want to play you may need more

Look what I found
The forbidden Nzxt anime
Best buy is doing that thing again where they raise prices by 50% then on Black Friday they say everything is 50% off but really it's normal price.
average retailer
I got the nzxt h9 elite for a good deal from there
BuT ItS on SaLLE
i always use price tracker extensions to track it and so many retailers do this
Sikkeee
Whats the h9 elite normal price
170 it seems
Happens every time on holiday
I got it for 150
Everything says it’s normal price is 240
._.
It's not $1,700 usually
Expensive ah screen
looking at the price history, most sellers have been selling it at 170 constantly
Yes I just saw
I still got it on sale for the price of the flow I think
Imo the h9 elite is better than the flow
IM HAPPY I GOT IT TOO
@velvet summit look at the list in my about me to see a more detailed list of everything I’m getting and what I’ve bought
Also should I set up all my fans now like screw them all in and plug them all in the argb spliter or wait til me make pc
I just wish I came with 4 no rgb fans instead

you gotta achieve "regular role"
so you gotta stick around and talk a bit (no spam tho)
k

whats the prebuilt?
abs master ali416
Never heard of it
search it
doubt its "popular" today
so, what are the upgrades?
i went from a i5 10400 to a i9 10900k and a rtx 2060 to a 3060
32gb of ripjaws gskill ram ddr4 3200
i went to bottleneck calculator and there were no bottlenecks for gaming which that is what i use it for
cpu upgrade is good but the gpu is eh
ik
dont we have a command for this
works perfectly
?bottleneck
"TL;DR Bottleneck calculators take massive generalisations and will cause someone to almost completely miss the entire snapshot of the performance that they wanted to know in the first place.
Bottleneck calculators are a commonly searched tool on the internet to make a generalised comment on a pairing of hardware for things such as games, workstation software, rendering and the like.
Bottlenecks are regarded as a limit for a pc in a given task, and each different workload, each different game, each different task may and will push a pc to a limit in a certain way, and it's never the same way. Some games will push the cpu to a limit, most the GPU, some the ram, etc.
Bottleneck calculators try to generalise this and this is why you should never use them. It isn't a true outlook of the hardware you'd be working with and doesn't give you a real take on the performance, especially when you consider your own individual needs. Some bottlenecks are good for example, a lot are expected and normal, some are caused by the application itself and don't bring out the full pc performance either, the games or apps you use might be very specific and unique in their behaviour and have an entirely different realm of performance altogether."
we do
i mean, on a scale of 1 being unchanged and 10 being there's an improvement, it would be a 10
on a scale of 1 being not really worth the cost even with a sale to 10 being this is a great upgrade, it would be a 5
maybe a 4.5
i mean, that depends on your budget? also 50 series is almost out anyways
going from 3060 to 3070 is definitely not worth it
grainy ass photo lmfao
idk what a photo is supposed to do tbh
it just looks like the original abs unit lmao
yer
might want to clean the dust off
i took off the emblem
there's a bit caked on
i have already planned on cleaning it
can you reccomend me a gpu upg
i dont need the 50 series
amd or nvida gpus
i built this pc on a budget
i plan on changing the case and the mobo
cause the mobo is really hard to find updates for
its the b460m ds3h ac-y1
@velvet summit
hello?
this is the ssd
and the aio pump
Safari is garbo
fr
you havent told me what budget you have or or what games you play or whatever
Looks like they already have an RTX card
Save up get a 4070 & call it a day.
sounds good to me
That's what I have, I'm running 1440P Ultra everything.
ur config is pretty good tho
i7 11700k and rtx 4070 is one of the best ive seen
i had ordered a 4060 ti before i got the 3060 and it took them 5 weeks to say nah this crap aint comin
damn i9 10900kf and a 4070 is a really good pair
i just looked at bottle neck calculator and it was good

im looking to upgrade to a ryzen 7 5700x from a ryzen 5 2600x, are there any other part specifications that I will need, would a 650w 80+ bronze psu cause any issues, and also is a b450 pro-m2 max an outdated motherboard for the ryzen 7 5700x?
What do you intend to do with the PC, what GPU do you have?
And what's the specific PSU you have
just gaming and I have a rtx 3060 and my psu is a cooler master semi modular 80+ bronze
i built my pc about 4 years ago and plan to upgrade it a lil bit
Anything more specific in the PSU?
I don't know all the CM 650w semi modular PSUs by heart
what you looking to know about it ?
If you want to game
I'd recommend getting the 5700X3D or 5800X3D instead
Significantly better gaming performance for less power draw
Make sure to check your specific motherboard has a BIOS version that recognizes the CPU you get in the end and update the BIOS to that version
Otherwise it's not gonna boot
Rest it seems fine
might not want to update it until you get the replacement cpu though in case that the latest bios disables support for 2000 series ryzen
thank you geniuses
Forgor to say
i forget if it disables both 1000 and 2000 or if it's just 1000 series but yeah
Depends on specific board tbf
Every manufacturer does it a little different

tfw the rom is too small to support all generations on am4 💔
It's no problem, kinda my job lol
friendship ended with ryzen 1000
now ryzen 5000 is my best friend
AMD in 2025:
"We're releasing a new CPU for AM4!"
Imagine if they did that
And then just said that 400 series chipsets motherboards are just not compatible with it because the rom is too small lol
ryzen 6000 is my true best friend
damn people are still making nightcore mixes in 2024
i havent seen one in a hot minute

Song: Oolacile - Cloud Mind
I'd just not buy it kek
Also the "how much would you pay" is impossible to answer because everyone is in a different market, with many different currencies
i still have mine from when i first bought my pc and I need it gone
i would continue using the igpu
I can't really assess the used market you have access to
honestly the most you'll probably be able to find a seller for is like
$20
💀
buyer i mean
Yeah they aren't worth a lot anymore
better off selling the metals
TBF
If you want to
You can use it for like a Plex server box
With a cheap motherboard and the CPU you're getting out of your current PC
But selling it won't yield a lot
yeah you'll find more value in repurposing it than selling it lmao

✨Never buy on Amazon ✨
unless the item is sold BY Amazon because it will then be at MSRP
and not massively overpriced
Yes
What can I do with a 7700X and igpu like what type of games can I play because that’s what I’m going to have until I get my 4070
not much really. Things like Minecraft albiet low graphics. Pretty much any game that uses primarily CPU.
I heard bluestacks only really use a CPU and I

Minecraft if you're lucky
nah, Minecraft will definitely run at lowish render distance. Likely at 60 FPS too. Ofc, depends on MC version too. Optimization mods can help.

Yup the ram cost around 400 bucks though
you're kidding right?
Why, link to kit

it's oos because corsair didnt expect a single person to buy it

There seems to be two ways to run Stable Diffusion on Radeon... the easy way being a program called Amuse, and the hard way being getting a WebUI fork running. I have now done both lol.
hows the speed
is it instant as nvidia?
I have not seen nvidia, but no it is not instant
im talking about nvidia gpu lol not nvidia nvidia xD
ik. I have not seen the speed of nvidia gpu on SD
January I hope
Ty lemme watch
images per minute is the test
nvidia gonna be instant xD
not instant i guess xD 1.25 image per second xD for 4090
I was not expecting to be able to run SD at all on 6000 series Radeons though so it is what it is

doesnt make sense
x3d doesnt have igpu
does it?
I think the high end ryzens have igpus now
iirc they're technically not igpus
ow some of it does
to be fair they've hiked the price up so much they could afford it
I mean it's an iGPU. What do you expect?
also iirc it's actually every zen 4 cpu that has an igpu
I’m surprised that thing can run anything at all at 720p 💀
pretty sure

Pcmr is coming out of you, u have stopped taking temps in Celcius
Aren't you also American? 💀
Resident mind you
Damn just realized i can prolly start my naturalization process soon
(I have forgotten most of American history i learned in high school 💀)
Wait I was born in America. What's naturalization?
It's okay me too
Suppose you come to US to become a resident you only get to stay here you get all the things a citizen does such as social security and credit except a passport and ofc citizenship its the process of going from a permanent resident or a green card holder to a citizen with a passport
Not sure if i can do dual citizenship tho
I did come here as a dependent so i might be able to
Gotcha I see

Naturalization here is the process of becoming a US citizen if you were not born one. You have to be 18 or older, be able to read write and speak basic English, be 'of good moral character' and either have had a Green Card for 5+ years, be married to a US citizen and a 3+ year Green Card holder, perform military service or be a child of a US citizen

Which is the equivalent of most other developed countries.
easier than Finland anyways
Depends on the country and if it allows dual citizenship
Canada for example allows dual citizenship
Multiple citizenship (or multiple nationality) is a person's legal status in which a person is at the same time recognized by more than one country under its nationality and citizenship law as a national or citizen of that country. There is no international convention that determines the nationality or citizenship status of a person, which is co...

hello
Okay how do you enlist in the US military
If you're not a citizen
Have a green card, have a high school diploma, speak English and pass the normal enlistment requirements
not for the military or anything though
You qualify for citizenship after a year of service and apply for it while serving
Or apply after and show proof of honorable discharge or honorable seperation

all im sayin is my computer sits firmly on the carpet
im sure you all know im just kidding lol nvm that good morning!
oh gosh i musta joined new egg discord back when i ordered a fx 8350, the worlds first true 8 core
jokes often fail to survive the translation to text
lol no, 8350 was not a true 8-core
yikes
Is the crucial gen5 a good m2?
It’s good
Not the best but it’s good enough for 90% of people
I’ll have to get one to replace my firecuda 530, I was trying to boot back on it after I put in the new mb & cpu but it only allows my hdd
id take the fx900 pro 2tb at $104 for the same experience
slightly better than the 530
oo I forgot about those
wow the price is way cheaper too
I’m jus worried about the durability long term
my firecuda was amazing
gen 5 won't make it last longer
if anything the opposite considering the models are newer and could have long term issues we're unaware of atm
true that’s the only downside of new products
they don’t make em the same as the old items
let's be honest. this is valve, if they are working on one it is set to release in 2030
yup
There has been a different leak saying that the Roy controllers (for the Deckard) are starting production now, so there is a somewhat good chance that it may release in the next 3 years, since it wouldnt make sense for it to be going into production so soon if not
Oh yeah there has also been steam controller 2 leaks
That has a different code name
oh yeah I heard about that
honestly might be interesting given how fairly well received the steam deck controls have been
I thought it was $48
I must be dumb today, I’ve gotten like 8 things wrong
Oh wtf
What a real shame.....
This hobby is getting too expensive
Just living is expensive
easy solution, just skip
mobile gaming is the future 
maybe cloud/ai is the future
you mean ARM ?
yes
I don't think cloud will ever take off. Given how many companies have tried and failed
yeah but arm gpus are more expensive right now
well i'm not talking about gpus specifically. I'm just saying that the lower power, lower end hardware that has been coming out is a lot more enticing than the power hungry, high end hardware
not much this year. i think most exciting thing was m4 mac mini. other than that handhelds like steam deck and rog ally were very interesting
partially. the new desktop hardware past few years has just bored me really. im still on a 9th gen intel for my desktop though it is on its way out
Return to console
I do have a ps5 but part of the problem is I hate staying in same spot. I start to get urge to pace the floors
you can still play almost every game 1080p high
thats why 
Blender xD
On mobile
interesting
I switched from 1080p 240hz to 1440p 165hz not too long ago. but tbh it's not enough. Whenever I feel like spending on a new panel i need 4k 27" min
yikes
my friend has been complaining constantly recently as he had to start learning blender lol
Winlator modders finally fix steam on it
Left 4 dead works great on it now
With online support
I started using moonlight for mobile desktop streaming but I realized it doesn't have on screen keeb?
cant install windows on phones or is it just virtual machine for now ?
No idea.. xD
qemu is nice
Winlator is just Linux still but with wine included
Windows has arm version now
But driver support for all phones i dont know.. it only support snap elite for now
well they had arm version for a while it was just unusable. I assume they finally started to fix it with the new arm laptops
Arm is the future xD they said
fr is it time to upgrade my i5 9600f?
depends on the games you playing
i havn't replaced the thermal paste since it was new if that helps
so your a now it all that does his own maitaince? no not all i was just asking if my 9400 should be upgraded lol
9400 ?
im 1500 dollers deep in computer how can i upgrade at minimal cost
depends on the game you want to play if you want to go budget
i want my computer to be my dads 1969 camero
im hearing 10 thousand dollers is pretty much cap and boy le howdy send the mail, banned from newgrounds do i want to send this.. no yes no
new egg didn't do me wrong when i ordered a fx 8350 in 17
high gen 4 speeds can be had for a reasonable price at least lol
How much did you pay for your pc and when
Intel Battlemage incoming Launch should be a formality. Intel is preparing to introduce its new discrete GPU, codenamed Battlemage. It turns out the company made no effort to hide the upcoming launch, and that’s not even referring to the already leaked ASRock graphics cards. If you do some searching on Intel’s website, chances are you […]

Omg I like
I play a few mobile games more then pc/xbox
my oldest discord server i'm still in is probably the pcpp discord
which i joined in 2017
i'm so active in it
Before discord, I was very active on Kik. Good times
Ew
I think this is my oldest server
My pc all of a sudden crashes whenever I try to play any games on it does anyone know what might be going on and possibly how to fix it I’ve had it for a year and it ran perfect until this problem started
why do I keep getting A0 and 01 codes on my mobo when I power up
whats your mobo model?
could be anything
-Faulty drivers (if you installed)
-CPU bad
-GPU bad
-Ram issue
-OVERCLOCKING
but I connected my old SATAs then it won’t display anymore
on my initial startup I booted on a fresh hdd, which worked great and ran fast, but after I connected my other sata ports nothing won’t display on the screen anymore on startup
ye the rpm’s stay kinda high
couldn't find 01 code
have you tried disconnecting the other sata drives?
ye I tried unplugging them and just use the hdd I booted windows on, but surprisingly it stays stuck on a0
ah
can you boot into bios?
na its not booting to screen anymore
no post bruh
ye
ye I have a firecuda 530 in the m.2 drive
I originally tried to boot on it but it wasn’t showing up on the boot manager
from bios?
yeah
I had windows and everything installed on it already since it was my previous drive
I’ll show you videos of the issues I gotta wait for my phone to charge rq
alr
thanks
i wonder if the nvme controller is disabled or downright busted
hope its the former
your motherboard is supposed to pick up a reading of your nvme unless its installed incorrectly
It might be one of the bios options I was experimenting with when I was trying to configure my m.2 to show up
That is not going to be fun unless you have a keeb/mouse connected to mobile
perhaps
now with the pc not posting, remove all drives and only use the one with windows installed. Then remove cmos battery and reinsert
make sure pc is off
clearing cmos will reset bios to default
I looked online about the m.2 issues before it started not displaying, and took off secure boot & enabled csm support I hope it didn’t cause any damage to the mobo or drives
CSM support?
i think its to boot older drives or something
but SATA doesn't need CSM
nor nvme obv
no wonder why its messed up LMFAO
oh this is interesting
Looks like 2025 will be another great year for monitors
ye it’s a quite odd diagram
i guess you can do the jumper method if you don't want to take out your gpu
hopefully cheaper too
New better stuff around 999 and current stuff at 999 gets cheaper
real
also if your OS is windows 11, leave secure boot enabled. There is a workaround but to save time this is necessary @pseudo patrol
lmk if you fixed it
A new leak has revealed key details about AMD’s next-generation Ryzen Threadripper 9000 series, codenamed Shimada Peak. Featuring Zen 5 architecture, the lineup will range from a surprising 16-core variant to a flagship 96-core model, all with a 350-watt TDP prioritizing performance over power efficiency.
96 cores.. TR??
What do u guys think of this take?
yesn't
It is true
well
considering you can pay 500usd for a whole system that can play majority of games adequately
i bought a rx 6700 non xt from best buy for like 300 did i get ripped?
ordered CPU and GPU upgrade for my box
I just got one for 180
unless you got like 16GB on it
then idk
ye meh
but not that bad either
I spent alot of time thinking if I should get a gaming laptop for 1000$ or for 2200$ instead of 3200$ (already got a desktop, its for work), mostly i will be making a video game in 2d in unity and I was thinking "man I wanna play games at work for like 30m-1h at 144hz 2k miniled hdr 1000 too!"
2200 sounds like plenty
indeed
i think kids today dont care about 10,000 doller machines, they play roblox and wanna get good grades
1000$ for a laptop with rtx 3050..
no point in going over 4070 on laptops imo
my country makes everything more expensive
trump is about to make everything more expensive in my country, the usa doesn't make computer chips as far as i know
id rather parsec into your main pc if the internet is strong enough
parsec meaning pardon?
was no politics part of this servers dont talk about thing my bad
oh lol
yes it was
might be more viable to buy a normal laptop and run parsec
Wont it be laggy?
depends on your internet connection and application
^
5g network 😐
yeah but you got face book market place to buy used computers from, they barely have 10 hours on them
idk i dont like to buy stuff over there
is the 3050 a 6gb variant at least
i hope it is
cuz that's not too slow for short bursts of gaming
at 1080p anyway
im wanting to upgrade from the i5 9400f but going next gen requires a new mother board, i might as well just start over
there are 4gb and 6gb variants of the 3050
you can always plop in a 9900k
4gb in the 1000$ version laptop...
on my base ibuypower mother board and air cooling? im not trying to catch a fire
yeah my country rips off everything
that board won't handle an i9 i assume
well anyway i need rest
hope you find that nice laptop you want
id help but im very tired
ty foxy
sleepy time is best time sweet dreams i hope you think of this!
*Instead of 4000$
a normal cool computer setup cost 4000 machine desk chair and its a whole lot,
i need a microphone and a mousepad
