    Official NVIDIA Ampere In-Stock Thread

    Got the ASUS tuf 3080 / ASUS tuf monitor bundle for ~$1400 in today’s shuffle. Not a great deal but will sell the monitor, so not super terrible considering 3080s are going for $1500 on the secondary market

    4K Firestick $25 shipped from Amazon for Prime Members (half off)

    Super easy, just turn off FTVLaunchX - It doesn't actually "replace" anything it just launches a different launcher by default, the amazon software is all still fully there, basically it's a new skin for the UI.

    4K Firestick $25 shipped from Amazon for Prime Members (half off)

    It's a little bit of work (~30 mins), but you can fairly easily (without rooting) add a few programs to replace the garbage Amazon UI with a different launcher. It makes a night and day difference. First install FTVLaunchX, directions and repository included here...

    FS: Mountain Mods U2-UFO with 2 Thermochill PA radiators

    Thanks, this is actually powder coated black and I have used it straight for probably ~10 years up to this point, it's a great gaming case due to the awesome airflow.

    FS: Mountain Mods U2-UFO with 2 Thermochill PA radiators

    I have an older Mountain Mods U2-UFO case for sale with 2 thermochill PA radiators, a PA120.3 and a PA160. This is the older style PA120.3 with the wider fan spacing. The case will fit both radiators and is a fantastic cooling setup with tons of space in the case. Local pick up only, I'm based...

    Phenom II X4 965 $80

    Going from a stock 810 @ 2.6ghz to an OC'ed 965 @ 4ghz+ i would think it would add a nice bump to framerates when you move the 5850 over.

    Phenom II X4 965 $80

    You OCing? Picked up a 965BE on sale recently from ewiz and it hit 4.0ghz no problem on stock voltage. You could probably hit 4.4-4.5ghz with good cooling and higher voltage.

    Costco: USB 3.0 Seagate 4TB external $160

    opened a 3tb and its hard to do without breaking a few tabs, though when i checked the hard drive had its own warranty on the seagate site (i.e. even bare it still had a warranty). I put another drive in the enclosure and works with that as well (though it doesnt power down properly)

    Windows 8 Pro HTPC Server with extenders

    the thing is since channel changing is slow, you will generally want to use the guide to change channels. The guide is much nicer / more responsive than the typical cableco dvr so this isn't so bad.

    Streaming Bluray Ripped Files on XBOX From HTC

    Because even if you have not run into an issue yet, you will eventually. Look at what MS specs the Xbox as being capable of streaming. I have no issue with MS but the XBOX as a media streamer is a turd.

    Looking for Receiver and Sub

    Pick up a denon 1712 while you still may be able to find one. If you cant find one see if you can get the 1713. Reason i mention these is this is the cheapest receiver that has Audyssey MultEQ XT which is a great speaker correction technology. For a sub in that price range get the bic PL 200.

    What is a good deal on a 3 TB now?

    All the reports i have seen have indicated 7200rpm drives and that's what was in mine. Not sure if all of the bare drives have warranties, i believe i have seen conflicting reports on this but not sure if it was all the same model external they were talking about. The warranty on my bare drive...

    What is a good deal on a 3 TB now?

    Theoretically you can take it out and not break the enclosure as i've seen a vid of it, though i did break ~3 tabs on my first go round. That said the go flex desk drives have a 7200rpm drive and when i checked the serial on seagates website the bare drive also carried a warranty...
