for a PC in my office, last month....

I've had a few applications crash lately because I've run out of memory. Being annoyed at having to close some applications before launching others, I decided to move to 64GB of DDR4. I wanted to wait till I built my first DDR5 system, but that's a ways off based on my budget schedule. Grabbed it at Newegg.com

I was considering buying one of those until I got my smartphone and started using Samsung Health to track my cycling stats.

What you many not realize is that Samsung is tracking that info too. You should consider getting things that do not require the internet to use.

Nuphy Air 75! Managed to get it for $50 and its honestly such a nice keyboard to use. Mechanical *and* low profile has won me over haha. My wrists no longer feel bad while typing.

Win 98 but if I can find the original restore discs it will be back to original win 95 goodness.

Facebook Marketplace. Guy was getting rid of a *lot* of custom keyboards as he had the funny shelf of it and was out of the hobby. Thing is fully modded too: lubed, foam-modded and the sorts. Took it apart to mod it to realize I didn't have to mod it lmao, that's why it sounded so good.

Honestly I was just lucky. He even gave me a bag of gateron brown low profile switches (the ones that came with the keyboard) as he switched it out to red low profile switches (n lubed them).

I know that feeling of being in the right place at the right time and scoring an amazing deal (and the exact opposite).

P5800X 800GB. This thing is nuts..

avidgamer121 · Jan 22, 2025

was sick for more than a month so wasn't much active and ever since i got well last week, didn't feel like posting.

received both of these last month, my sister broke my previous mouse and got a fan in advance for whenever i swap the case (probably early summers in march) until then i will keep it in my drawer, my current case has no slot for another fan.

i do have samsung health and a samsung watch to track the details. But i want to see the speeds i get up to instantly instead of the GPS one. Plus the watch goes into power save screen move where it doesnt update regularly and i have to flick the wrist to check. Not good on public roads.

Looks in very good condition! I used to upgrade those A LOT! If you'd like some tips or input on potential upgrades that will help you get the most out of that system, without breaking the bank, head over the Nostalgia thread and chime in.

Yep, I tracked it for over a year and prices were pretty stable so i bit the bullet end of last year. Bought one used in a dell server for a semi decent price. Still, could've gotten a ~10TB worth of gen 4 drives though for that price.

No regrets though. Now i just need to find a better cable than the Dilinker NVMe to U.2. I know Wendell did some tests and recommended a few cables for NVMe>U2 connection but hoping a cheap Gen 5 link comes soon enough
