    WTB: RTX 3090 (only)

    Helping my son build an AI workstation - I sold my 3090 before realizing he wanted one. Looking for one in good condition (not a mining card) with a good cooler - I don't really want a CLC/hybrid style. Hit me up and let me know what you want for it.

    Why did you buy one?

    I bought a Legion Go S (Z1e / 32 / 1TB) because I had the money, prices were going up and I was traveling a lot. Turns out it's just not comfortable for me to use on a plane. I was thinking of selling it but right now it's working as a makeshift steam machine on my living room TV...

    2nd Video Games Industry Crash Coming? Interesting Take From The Critical Drinker

    The main problems with AAA multiplayer games as I see it: 1. Cheating is out of control. 2. Most companies seem to want to look like they are fighting cheaters more than actually fighting cheaters 3. Free to play just eliminates any penalty for chronic cheating 4. The switch from player and clan...

    5090 in stock and it looks like it is staying in stock

    I wanted a 5090 and I had the money but the power/melt issues were enough to make me go with a 5080. Also, I used to run a full custom loop (for silence) and now that I'm working in office (and traveling), I didn't feel comfortable not being around should it leak. I paid the premium for the...

    LG 39GX950B 39" 5120 x 2160 OLED 165hz Ultrawide

    I paid $1799 for the 38GL950 and that would be like $2500 now. It's a niche product and LG usually eases up on the prices after a few months. I'd love one but I just work too much to enjoy one at this point.

    HAVN BF/HS 360 cases

    This is an incredibly well made case that is nice to work in. If you want to use your own fans, buy the cheap version as it comes with a fan bracket. I had to buy one on etsy but it works fine.

    Intel B770 Dead...

    The silver lining is that streaming might put a dent in cheating. Not just by blocking local cheats but by stripping away the anonymity that makes it so egregious on f2p games. These people deserve the woodchipper of justice but I'll settle for removing the free account creation loop and a...

    HAVN BF/HS 360 cases

    I ordered one in white. Just received my RTX 5080 Noctua card. Also ordered a new DH15 Will be decomissioning the dual MORA setup and going fully air. Partly for the gpu upgrade but also because now that I no longer wfh and actually have some work travel, I'm not around as much to keep an eye...

    Is there a triple monitor arm that can hold three 32 inch monitors of 22 lbs each?

    Having done this for 9 years with just about every mount config there is, three arms is your best bet. When you put them on a crossbar that uses a ball joint or other articulating mount (which many do) you will never get them trued up. Three arms can be a pain but its far more flexible and...

    LG Unveils UltraGear evo 39GX950B, 27GM950B and 52G930B

    So basically it would be perfect if it was a different size, resolution, aspect ratio and panel tech. They were so close!

    Commodore 64 floppy drive has the power to be a computer — bulky 1982 Commodore 1541 5.25 inch drive packs a 1 MHz MOS 6502 CPU

    That old hardware was just different - I had a program that would use the 1541s mechanical sounds and motor stepping to play a song.
