i need to change the lockset of my bike as well lol. My barrel is worn down after 10 years

I just wanted the same key for all. 20yr old bike and have 3 keys, ignition, tank and seat. Also this is proper Honda which is better quality.

Managed to get a RTX 5080

That's great but for how much ? It would be a sin to not ask such a question.

3 more Antec Storm T3 120mm fans (this time second-hand) to complete replacing the RGB fans in my computer case.

Dell Wireless 5024. Had to purchase a high-end Precision, Dell points were enough to snag this to replace my wired set

. Sits comfortably, comes with a transceiver, but I'm running thru bluetooth, and it connected seamlessly: also hit my phone as a second active device smoothly. Spent about an hour, hour and a half using it last night, worked great. I expected a little discomfort with glasses on, but no issues.

I bought a couple of things to make gaming on my tiny Anbernic RG35XX-H a bit better, 3D printed stack shoulder button and ergonomic grip attachment

The stack button is a bit stiff when I first install it it stuck either on or off, I use screwdirver tip to make the hole a bit bigger so it won't be a tight squeeze.

The grip is good, no rough edges and feels natural on hand. No more cramped hands yay :love:

When there's so much toxicity online I just bought them all and decided to refund the ones that just didn't work for me, pro tip: make friends with System Integrators :laugh:

This strikes me a "iffy". You do realize that seller can not legally sell your returned items as new, right? You're effectively imposing a forced loss on them for no other reason than "I changed my mind".

you have to buy 16c AMD variant too and last gen Intel 14900k to compare everything

I bought

AC unit to cool down RTX 5090.

I ordered for a white build the second Antec C8 A-RGB case in white today just because of the two stock 160mm 35mm PWM reversed fans at the bottom. They are so good! The real USP of this case, entirely dedicated to the GPU, without any obstacles or plastic grid in the bottom area.

They are so damn effective for low GPU Temps, its insane. Even compared to a good mesh case.

dgianstefani · Saturday at 3:27 PM

New cables arrived, 13 A pins, 12V-2x6, custom length.

Is it just me, or do those wires look a little on the thin side? They look good, just wondering about that GPU 12pin connector..
