Nabbed Lego Jurassic World Indominus Rex Breakout in a TRU promo

. A retired set, comparing the purchase price vs current ebay price it was a no brainer not to get the Millennium Falcon. One for offsping and others to support the hobby

Made in Korea so I guess now it's made in China.

AsRock · Nov 13, 2016

Hehe, they made a few good equalizers back in the day, that did not add tone to the sound although they were full sized units.

Thinking it work much better than the RCA of today

, RS went bump way before for i moved to the US and that's going back some years now.

Mine looks like that and have way more output than just 80 watts per channel. It's also older QT440 front looks the same except for the 4 rectangular lights on the left.

Also found this one with more description http://cariboo.craigslist.ca/ele/5833170891.html

Do you still plan to water-cool your xeon rig now that you will build a skylake system?
Assuming you will use the GTX1080 in your new rig as well.

I thought you would keep it and put back your 2 770s in it.

So you sold it...

Online with your phone now?

Or did you had another backup rig?

So after staying up too late again messing with my overclock on my lackluster 6700K CPU, I finally realized I will never be happy with a CPU that only overclocks to 4.5ghz, 4.6ghz with immense voltage (1.45v). I want moar. So I did want every good techie should do, and cashed my most recent job checks, and vaporized my newly found money at amazon and Silicon Lotter on the following:

I don't really think my current board is a good OC'er despite being alright functionality wise, hence the mobo as well.

And yes, I can already hear @Toothless screaming about how I bought a frickin' ASUS board (I'm not exactly thrilled with the brand myself), but this one I did my homework on and it uses decent components and power delivery... has a good audio system, etc... provided it doesn't need an RMA after amazon covers it, I'll be fine.

So yeah, I'm broke again, lol. Watch for a froggy super-sale of my current mobo and CPU... provided you don't want too extreme an overclock, they are swell parts.

Is that 6700k coming to my address?

Hey, if you don't mind the absurd legacy ports (3 pci ports, what is this, 2006?), I may be able to make you a helluva deal on the old mobo and 6700k combo... and there's no ASUS to be found there, lol.

If you have even a cursory interest Toothless, do let me know. I would give you dibs and work with you on payments.

No pressure naturally, but it's certifiably ASUS free, lol.

I didn't even get thermal paste in this socket...
