    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    I would avoid CCA if you can, It just has too many things NOT going for it: 50% more resistance per foot, less reliable in situations where the cable is repeatedly flexed, potential for corrosion at terminations... We're not talking about saving that much money, unless you're planning to run...

    Exactly, unless some people say things you don't like. Then they should be silenced, right?

    Desktop 2.0 Amp Suggestions for gutted Swan M200MKII's

    The Fosi and Aiyima amps are generally rated decent for the money you pay. In your price range there are probably slightly better units for $30-40 more that are more powerful to give you headroom for future speaker upgrades. Unless you really want the built in EQ, you might consider something...

    Oh Samsung, you had one chance to redeem yourself......Tech cuts guy's TV to void warranty and Reddit removes video from the post.

    According the google machine, you're the average height for a male in the U.S. and 2" taller than average across the globe. Don't buy into the pop culture crap you see in Hollywood and online marketing where all the cool guys are six foot two. Usher, who is very popular with the ladies, is 1"...

    Where to find good deals on used workstations (last gen Xeon, etc.)

    I had no idea there was a separate FS/T forum for the exact subject of my post! Awesome! Thanks for the replies. I'm gonna head over to the DC sub and take a look.

    Where to find good deals on used workstations (last gen Xeon, etc.)

    Looking to grab a used dual processor workstation of some kind to use for programming with multiple simultaneous VMs. Something with (2) 8 core Xeon silver or Xeon golds. Overall processing power isn't as important as having around 16 physical cores to run 4 or more VMs at once, and at least...

    Productivity build and GPU choices - Low TDP and wattage options?

    This is good advice in a good direction, pending feedback on your wants/needs. If you don't intend to game, then a Quadro is probably a good bet as they're a bit more stable for things like SolidWorks. That said, I'm currently running a water cooled 3090 and do quite a bit of moderately complex...

    Any soldering experts here? Need help.

    You need a solder wick/braid, or even better, a solder sucker. Once you get the solder to be removed nice a liquid, place that sucker adjacent and press the button... it will vacuum it out. https://a.co/d/cJTVyC4

    Harbor freight 20% off anything this weekend

    Or just oversize your equipment. The 6 ton Daytona jackstands aren't that much more $$ than the 3 ton. Considering the purpose, I'd say its cheap insurance. :D

    Harbor freight 20% off anything this weekend

    The toolbox isn't a SnapOn or MAC, but their Super Duty 3 ton jack series is rumored to have been made by the same manufacturer as the suspiciously similar looking SnapOn part.

    The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt: Official Thread

    https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/457 This was one of my favorite mods when playing this game. The concept armor designs from the same author are great too.

    Who here is keeping their 3 series and skipping 4 series nV cards?

    Shunt modding 3080 ti. Thoughts.

    Hey, this is [H] and all.. so I think the idea (of shunt modding) is cool. However, the performance gained vs risk and effort doesn't really make sense IMO. Actual 3090s are going for pretty cheap now, and they have twice the VRAM. If you're patient you can score a used 3090 Ti for ~$850 that...

    Sick of on-board audio, what should I do?

    100%. Between the Beyers/Motu and cables I was around $450. I recently decided the ModMic wasn't up to par with everything else and didn't like a second cable hanging off my head, so I got a Rode PodMic and boom that mounts to the font of the desk to my left. It keeps all the parts mostly out of...

    Non-mined Gigabyte 3080 10GB. Purchased from Newegg December 2021 as part of a combo. When water cooled the factory OC BIOS will boost to >2K core clock. I ran it under-volted to 0.975 and power limited to 100%. It typically holds around 1950mhz when under full load @ ~45c. Update, I ordered...

    How possible is this?

    I found a really good model of a helicopter cyclic grip and modified it to suit my needs including beefing up the adapter and mounting surfaces where the handle meets the 1" EMT shaft. Most of what you see in these photos was printed on a Prusa I3-MK3s including some of the buttons which have...

    Sick of on-board audio, what should I do?

    I locked this thread because I started to think it was a bit redundant and I hadn't done my due diligence. However, I have a worthwhile update including a few words of caution. I bought a pair of HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless and they were terrible. If you use their Ngenuity software/drivers for...

    Yes, thank you for understanding. I am NOT looking for professional or audiophile grade sound, just something pretty good that still does "magic" surround sound for headphone gaming.

    Sick of on-board audio, what should I do?

    Thanks for the reply! I am looking at the SB X3/4 since bypassing the Realtek sound card could get rid of my occasional static blast and maybe give better 7.1/positional audio for games. However, I've also looked at the Schiit HEL to get cleaner sound and especially the onboard mic gain seems...

    Sick of on-board audio, what should I do?

    Hi all, I have been using an older set of Bose AE2 headphones with a mod-mic for my computer audio. I do a lot of gaming, and occasional music listening... I am not looking for professional level stuff. I could spend a few hundred bucks, maybe more, preferably less. My target is that point on...
