So a new monitor. I've been on the prowl for like a 27" 1440p monitor, but the Samsung U32J590U was on sale for €250 ... so I grabbed it. It's big. Haven't used it much, but my greatest fear (whites going to pink on the edges when sitting close, according to some people) hasn't happened. The only game I've played is Rimworld. The idea is that I'll shuffle some thing around in my appartment. Currently the desk is in the kitchen, but I will move it to the main (well, only) room so the monitor will double as a TV. The stand is awful, but it'll rest on a proper monitor arm anyway. We'll see how I like it.

It's really weird to have a modern computer btw.

Looks decent for that price and it seems to get decent enough reviews too, considering it's a "budget" screen. I honestly can't go back from 4K, it's a curse, everything else feels crowded once you've gotten used to it. So welcome to the 4K club :p

Really no need for such a extreme reaction is there.

Same applies

Nothing wrong with taking pride in your machine, don’t let them get you down.

I dunno what's it's about, but isn't the thread about new purchases? I'm pretty sure there's a Show off your build thread somewhere...

What if everyone starts to post photos of their shiny PC each time from a different angle in the "What's your latest tech purchase" thread.....

Everyone can start their own build thread here:

Maybe I should have worded my comment a bit better but like P4-630 says, it's a What's your latest tech purchase thread, I don't mind seeing pics of peoples machines, but not the same pics every day with no changes, and nothing to do with a new tech purchase

And directly at Ibruceypoo, I am Sorry if i offended you, i did not intend to do that ok. Very Sorry

Yeah, it's why I bought it. The 1440p monitors I've been looking at was in the same price range, or more. This seemed ok, and so far it is.

Sensible position to take. I'll admit, I got worked up over nothing at all, that's on me.

I feel like @iBruceypoo had a thread up at some point, but it seems to have been lost to the nether

No worries. I did not mean to come across as some curmudgeon as someone put it. This thread is what it is in the title, i have no problem with anyone posting pics of their rigs, but in the right place.

Right, I think @iBruceypoo really does need to take a chill pill as well as a few others here about some posts.. We all get excited with some new hardware, trust me, I have enough of it and sadly no, I'm not a doctor :D

@iBruceypoo please try and chill and post when you have some new hardware or new toys to play with, I love the enthusiasm and your posts... Don't go nuts because of a few, christ if that was the case, I think the whole mod team here would have a $£!^ fit everytime we saw a report of a thread or a post or something someone didn't like want or anything else under the sun... People here do need to chill... If they don't like something, that's fine but please don't make such a song and dance over it. There's a report button use it, but don't spam it like its a pack of chocolate....

Anyways... So... We've had an apology so lets move on.. Please play nice, I don't like seeing nice people turn in to well, no other way to say it so I just will, a holes..... :) Don't be a Karen people.... Be a Jack Nicolson....

@phill that's not an AC, this is an AC :p. It's more than twice as powerful as your portable unit. Then again, 31 would be a cool day here in here summer...
It's been 35-38 these past two weeks and our old AC was playing up. Panasonic makes really good ACs, they make it feel comfortable in the whole room, rather than just cold.

That will be done in the next house @TheLostSwede !! Right now, this way was a load easier but I'm looking for something that will literally cool the whole damn house, not just a little part of it. Saying that though, I'm hoping that I can get something like that installed in my next PC room so everything with all the bells and whistles and all my servers and all my PCs will be lovely and cool and ready for a damn good crunching!!

What size is that unit and does it cool the house or a few rooms?? Cost to run etc.? :)

Don't go nuts because of a few, christ if that was the case, I think the whole mod team here would have a $£!^ fit everytime we saw a report of a thread or a post or something someone didn't like want or anything else under the sun... People here do need to chill... If they don't like something, that's fine but please don't make such a song and dance over it. There's a report button use it, but don't spam it like its a pack of chocolate....

Anyways... So... We've had an apology so lets move on.. Please play nice, I don't like seeing nice people turn in to well, no other way to say it so I just will, a holes..... :) Don't be a Karen people.... Be a Jack Nicolson....


So hopefully that's not annoyed anyone but please get some hardware pics up pronto... We need the hardware people!! It's my birthday and I'd like some happiness not hassles!! I've gotta put up the with Mrs's as it is!! I'm come here to get away from all of that :laugh:
This part just put the icing on the cake. :laugh:

On that note, I agree. We need pics! Too bad that new hardware isn't new forever. That's why I say cheap hardware is best hardware, because I can buy more of it more often. :D

I post a few posts and this is what happens!??! Damn guys!! :laugh:

Right, I think @iBruceypoo really does need to take a chill pill as well as a few others here about some posts.. We all get excited with some new hardware, trust me, I have enough of it and sadly no, I'm not a doctor :D

@iBruceypoo please try and chill and post when you have some new hardware or new toys to play with, I love the enthusiasm and your posts...

That will be done in the next house @TheLostSwede !! Right now, this way was a load easier but I'm looking for something that will literally cool the whole damn house, not just a little part of it. Saying that though, I'm hoping that I can get something like that installed in my next PC room so everything with all the bells and whistles and all my servers and all my PCs will be lovely and cool and ready for a damn good crunching!!

What size is that unit and does it cool the house or a few rooms?? Cost to run etc.? :)
I guess technically it's a heat pump rather than just an AC unit. It only cools one floor in the house, but it's more or less just a room and a bathroom there so... Tall ceiling, top floor of the house, so it gets extra hot up there in summer.

For some reason, Panasonic doesn't provide a ton of details on their local website about the model we got, but it's their higher-end, but not top of the range series. (Google translate mostly works on that page)
https://www.panasonic.com/tw/consumer/air-conditioner/house-air-conditioner/qx-series.html

What you can get are models with a single outdoors unit, but two or three indoor units. It's also possible to get built-in indoor units, which sort of look like a large air vent, but for some reason they don't seem all that popular here.

We have neighbours that still use the old window units, but they're noise and horrible. More modern split units are quieter and the two Panasonic ones we have more so than the Heran (local brand) units we had before. As I mentioned, they also cool differently somehow, as they cool down the air without making it feel ice cold.

The one we got is good for about 40 square meters, so it's a big unit, although they have at least four larger models...
That said, I think they measure the room size that these units are suitable for differently here, as I had a look at some units on sale in Sweden and they claim much larger room sizes for much smaller units.
It was around £1,500, so not cheap, although we'll get some money back from Panasonic and the government. Not cheap, but it made it a lot nicer sleeping at night.

It's actually weird how different these kind of things are in different parts of the world. The AC units/heat pumps I've seen in Europe are all like 10 year old models here and Taiwan isn't even on the cutting edge of this stuff. I saw in the news that heat pumps are being pushed to replace gas boilers in the UK, although I'm not quite sure how that's supposed to work. Not all of those setups seems to supply cooling though, which seems like a missed opportunity. I do miss having a hot water tank though, as "on demand" hot water really takes a while to get hot...

MOAR Noctua! Two more Chromax 120mm fans. Didn't lower my max temps, but it did the average and my PCMark 10 went up as well. Now there is 3x120mm front intakes, 120mm rear exhaust and 140mm and 120mm top exhausts. The empty SSD tray is going to be filled with some Intel Optane goodness.
