    WTB Affordable 1070 Ti tier card

    Speaking of Maxwell, I just picked up a Quadro K2200 for under $80 on ebay. Specifically for the nvenc encoding with OBS. Pretty much like a 750ti, but slower and with 4gb of vram. There's a listing here on the forum for sale.

    WTB: Lenovo Ideapad 5 4800u 16GB

    I ordered the 4500u version from Amazon with 16gb of RAM during 4th of July weekend listed at $599. It's been great, the screen is definitely not color accurate, and I have been using it as a mobile streaming computer with OBS, with a single camera. Besides the screen, it's been great.

    1) I bought a key from the user new2019 a few months ago, which was my second one. The first one I bought in 2016 or so from him. 2) There is adapters that convert USB2 front panel connections to USB3 motherboard headers. Youll have USB2 speed out of those ports. Here is one on Amazon. 3) Check...

    DVD or Blu-Ray drive

    If you have 5.25 bay on your case, get a sata blue ray drive. Especially if you are going to be ripping all of your physical media into a NAS that runs plex.

    Monitors sold out on Amazon

    I just ordered an AOC 24G2 for the regular price @ $179, sold by Amazon.com. My alert from camelcamelcamel came in while I was looking at my phone, and when I added it to my cart, there was only 19 in stock, and that went down to 18 when I refreshed the page.... I looked this morning, and it...

    Are Used Racks in Higher Demand These Days?

    I am using a Compaq MX 11800, made in Germany with Cherry Mx Brown switches. I think that would fit in your keyboard shelf. You might be able to fit a Cherry G80 11900 in there as well. Here is one of the compaq boards on Ebay I bought mine in 2014 for $30, and has been one of my favorite...

    Monitors sold out on Amazon

    I set up a price alert on Camelcamelcamel for the AOC 24G2 that I want to get. I am in need of a second monitor, since the 1440p 25in 60hz panel I have been using since 2014 is not great for FPS games.

    3.2TB SSD for $240

    That's how I read the documentation as well. I was reading the Dell user and install guides.

    Monitors sold out on Amazon

    I suspect limited supply for a long while, even if the factories open up they might not be outputting the same amounts.

    Oh absolutely, especially the wraith stealth coolers on that come stock with the 65w CPUs. Pretty much an aluminum extrusion that has a fan on it.

    Monitors sold out on Amazon

    A lot of LCD panel factories in Wuhan.... So what we have been buying up was probably existing inventory. There are panel factories in other places like Korea, but all of the supply chains for components has been disrupted, and I am guessing the small factories that make components are also not...

    I would send Noctua an email with your original receipt. I did that with my Phanteks PH-TC14PE cooler that I got in 2014, with my amazon invoice, along with the invoice for my new Ryzen CPU and they sent me an AM4 mounting kit for free. If you arent the original owner, then you could probably...
