No, I needed something I could plug my guitar in to. So I use the Focusrite Scarlett connected to them and the PC. Works really well

Got a Sound Blaster Audigy RX from eBay for cheap to harass the neighbors upstairs from the 2nd PC.

Playing a loop of these THX demos:

That's what you get for walking with wooden flip flops at home.

normally 279chf but my brother-in-law has a professional account at the etailer i wanted to order that one, thus it only did cost 200chf

Omnicharge Omni 20+

yep ... neatly packed bundle (although ... user guide... "basic" is an overstatement for it ... )

and not much bigger than my previous Aukey ( which only has 1 QC3.0 port )

still 20'000 mAh but can output 230v 60hz 100w and charge my E-Scoot 3 time

xtreemchaos · Apr 23, 2020

just grabbed one of these for my main rigg, ive a corsair at the mo which has run everything well for the last 4 years but of late the riggs been hardbooting a few times while playing in vr so i thought id try a diff psu because folks have been saying how corsair cs750 are really a piece of poop

not a bad price i think ?

117,43 Euros in my country (NL).

It's a good PSU, I bought a focus plus 750 just before the new GX series, mine has still the in-wire capacitors, the GX doesn't have that anymore.

xtreemchaos · Apr 23, 2020

thats a good price, is it free delivery ? yes did my homework before buying and picked up on the no wires caps, not sure whats the result of havening none.

I edited my previous post, I was looking at the price of the 750W, my bad. The 850W cheapest is 117,43 Euros shipped in my country.

I realize, it's only a stupid water bottle, but it's all I have to show off right now - in the show off thread. :cry:

Tech related? Got it to match my build gunmetal, charcoal, and black. It's all I got. :cry:

xtreemchaos · Apr 24, 2020

thats a mighty fine bottle bro, where would we be without them + that one will save you spilling on your keyboard

That's why when I come to TPU, I usually wear one of these. :roll:

xtreemchaos · Apr 25, 2020

arrh so its not just me then, just ordered on of those "extra large size" because i need to look at EKs website

.

GreiverBlade · Apr 27, 2020

okay, promo on terabytes ... why not ...

i have a 500gb fast SSD from seagate, so, why not a 2tb Backup plus ultra touch from them to replace my 512gb Adata XPG SD700X ext SSD ... 35chf DEAL! (half price roughly ) that's cheaper than a 256gb uSD card ...

you gotta be kidding me ... they bundled a A to C adaptor .... even better than the one i bought some time ago for a 3rd of the whole bundle price ... ahhhhh damn...

now ... what to do with a SD700X 512gb .... OH i know i can gut it and transfer the SSD to an empty case and replace the slow @ss WD green 240gb
removing the red bumper and then .... prying open

alright a Silicon Motion SM2258G controller and one Nanya chip for the cache 1 ADATA branded Micron 512gb 3D TLC NAND for the storage (all empty spot have solder balls on them aside one

interesting ) ohhhh it's actually a full fledged ADATA Ultimate SU800 inside .... well i also have a free USB-Micro-B to SATA in addition ... with a bit of work i can fit that into that Patriot Blaze 60gb (metal casing FTW!)

Photo's of my ~~newest~~ previous purchase from a week back I forgot to post up.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU Air Cooler

The legendary Hyper air cooler is back and better than before. The Hyper 212 Black Edition offers better installation and great performance, easily one of the best air cooling solutions. The aluminum top cover and nickel plated jet black fins give the Hyper 212 Black Edition a more premium...

www.coolermaster.com

Most recent purchase was a larger backup drive from Western Digital the My Book 8 TB. I put four rubber feet on the side so I could have it laying instead of standing.

<p>WD My Book External Desktop Hard Drive Storage 3 TB - 18 TB</p> | Western Digital

Compact outside. Powerful inside. Store massive amounts of photos, videos, music, and documents with My Book desktop storage.

I couldn't decide between the Hyper 212 Black edition, Hyper 212 black RGB, or the Masterair RGB MA410P so I made 3 columns in Paint...one for each cooler, turned up the sensitivity on mah mouse closed my eyes and shook my hand and randomly clicked a spot...I'm getting the masterair MA410P...
I think the caps on the heatpipes are sweet on that cooler.

I didn't think about memory clearance....How much room do you have between the cooler and your memory?

Just a gap between to the fan, and the DDR4 tall heatsinks.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
