3 hours with a few smoke breaks and it's done. Still need to take a few more photos of packaging for the case and write it all up so I will most likely post the project log/case review tomorrow.

Netgear RAX20 to replace my WNDR4300.

That giant box behind is the one they used to ship it. You could fit 10 of those inside it and still have room to spare.

I'll pay for shipping if that 4300 is a v1 ::wink::wink::

What's so special about v1?

It has an image made by dd-wrt that allows superchannel use. I can use it with my other two for radio experiments. One has to buy the license, but its $11. Small price for extended baseband. It use to be extended channels, now it lets you define exact freqs on low and high limit, non-channelized. Way cool, but you have to know what those freqs are used for. Eventually, I'm gonna put a thread together about superchannel in networking and security.

Guess which order amazon finally shipped, at the wrong price?

If anyone wants to try, they currently have the 2TB listed as $800Au and the 4TB as $500Au (But they cancelled my last attempt)
WD_Black 4TB AN1500 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Add-in-Card - Gen3 PCIe, Up to 6500 MB/s - WDS400T1X0L

Correct aussie price:

Corsair RM750x PSU for my gaming rig. I've seen nothing but good reviews of this unit, at 50% load its 12v rail is as efficient as some platinum grade PSUs of similar wattage.
The older Silverstone ST60F-TI (600w) would trip out & cut the system power when playing the outer worlds on ultra 2K
Similar power consumption levels (350-375w) were observed in FO4 on ultra 2K settings too, however that game never shut the system down during sessions.
Anyway, I'm not worried always nice to have another extra proven PSU in the house!

MIRTAZAPINE · Oct 5, 2021

Nothing big. I got a usb gigabit Lan as my gigabyte motherboard Lan keeps having issues of slow speed and dropping off. Been frustrated with my motherboard lan even with updated drivers still getting that issue. It is fairly nice quality type C generic gigabit Lan with an aluminium casing and braided cable. Did a quick test and got 1 gigabit speed from my laptop.

lucky! still trying myself! however, I was lucky enough to get my Switch OLED pre-order in on launch day... that should be here in less than a week. I can play it sometimes at work too... so it works out great for me anyway being portable... hope Sony makes a new PSP OLED someday.

I have that PSU. occasionally i can manage some coil whine out of it with the 3090, but it's an amazing unit

edit: oh wait i have the platinum version, i doubt theres much difference

I think it's the disk version and he paid about $1200, which isn't too bad for this country.

Is that not the price of the 2 TB? The best thing about that card is the controller. You can change drives (as long as they are the same) and it will even work in a x4 electrical slot (reduced speed). I am interested to see your numbers. I saw an increase when I put the 2 drives in an ASUS M2 adapter (Gen 3).

From the side it looks like the digital Version sry my fault, ok 1200$ this insane.

But on the other hand, what GPU did u get for 1200$ 3060TI or 3070? and thats only the GPU

Personally i dont pay this prices, a PS4 with 1TB SSD is still good for a 1080p TV, maybe ill buy me a 2. Hand PS4 Pro for 250€

PS5 digital has black box - easy to identify.

Well, I'm not sure because I didn't choose it and in this day and age you grab what you can get, apparently. It's got an 825GB SSD and you can use DVDs in it.
My knowledge of consoles is limited I'm afraid because I've never used one.

I'm happy to report that these be quiet! fans make absolutely no noise at low rpm. I have to look at my PC to see if they're still spinning. On the negative side, they're not cheap.

Twas my reaction as well the first time I fired up the Dark Rock Pro 4 and my SW3 120mm fans. I thought I had two defective products :laugh:

sam_86314 · Oct 6, 2021

Coming soon:

Google has already put Amazon to shame by shipping the item a day after I ordered it. My family has an Amazon purchase made at the end of September that still hasn't shipped.

EDIT: Damn, says it's arriving on the 6th. Amazon, take notes.

newtekie1 · Oct 6, 2021

Someone made an oops when entering the price. Sadly I could only get one ordered before the price was fixed. I checked the warranty with Seagate and it is indeed a brand new drive with a 5 year warranty.
