ATX open test bench just ordered today, to start going through my card collection and testing / benching cards. The board that'll go on will be the Asrock 775Dual-VSTA, as I will be able to test any kind of card I own on it, be it a PCI, AGP or PCIE. looking forward to getting through a lot of the PCI and AGP cards on this one.

150cc is good fun. Easy to ride, 80+ mpg and 75mph.

Im from the midwest USA and I live in a river valley (Mississippi as well as six other rivers) with tall bluffs covered with trees, its absolutely stunning this time of year. We have 130 acres at our farm house as well and go on long hikes in the woods for a couple weeks. Its one of the reasons I deal with the harsh winters here, which can reach -40F/C without the windchill. Brrr.

gurusmi · Oct 23, 2024

I have to be honest. I enjoy the summers of Georgia.

my listening volume while I put it on sponge with laptop brick holding them and I be damned. Today I removed the top hole and the graininess is gone! I hear it sounded better too some of the fuzzy background details is clearer now. Guess they didn't run them down just check they produce sound and onto the box it go.

Sorry. But i didn't start the question how the weather is. Neither here nor anywhere else. This question was raised before i even answered the first time to this question.

But to be ontopic. In a few days i will buy a Wash-/Curemachine fitting my new resin printer i got starting this month. That printer is a real monster. The size is huge. The weight is more than heavy. Only the printing plate weights over 2kg. And i think of buying in total four of them. incl. 2 of that Wash-/Curemachines.
