My GPU block is probably going to be that asetek mount for the foreseeable future, always nice to see an actual block in use

 

[TheHig]

Never tried it myself so looking forward to trying!

Sapphire RX570 4GB ITX, 3D Printer (Makerbot Replicator 2 clone)

Well, I'm going to try return the printer tomorrow. After 3 days of tweaking, cleaning and researching, I think it's, to use the technical term, b0rked. Z height is unreliable, leading to a 1mm thick print that should be 4mm high, the extruders leak, the feed mechanisms don't work 20% of the time. Keep in mind this was bought as a prebuilt ex-display model in working order. Ugh.

I may get a higher spec model to replace it with the refund, but we'll see. I may have just bought a pile of parts masquerading as a printer.

I haven't owned a console since PS2 and after computer gaming swore I never would. All the console junkies I know convinced me I really need to play Red Dead Redemption 2 with them. Knowing Rockstar it will be another year before the PC port is released.

So found a Xbox One S at a local pawn shop for $170, not too bad this time of year. I decided since it has 4k Ultra HD Blu-Ray player that saves me from having to buy one of those too.

Now I just have to wait for this game to download, only 92Gb shouldn't take long.

Great freebie (): K272HD + Modmic

I always upvote AKG.

 

[Smanci]

Great cans, but being as bland as they are, not a replacement for K501 & K701. Current situation with AKG is... sad. I like their old phones.

 

[GuilleAcoustic]

@Smanci I do love my K701 for sure...

Got my new mobo in today! 90 quid from ebuyer which is a pretty good deal methinks

Do clothes count? Finally bought myself a nice suit jacket (in black), tan leather shoes (and matching belt, wallet). Something to be said for dressing nicely!

Don't feel self-conscious about your appearance...

Nice clothing!

Will do - I bought this one as in NZ it sat at the 1050 TI price range but with a reported 55% better perf according to UserBenchmark.

There's a bit of a wattage jump but 50% perf increase is not to be sniffed at - especially when NVIDIA's next model up, the 1060 3GB, at 11% faster than the RX570, comes in at NZ$410 vs the NZ$250 I paid for the 570.

Gonna join you in the RX 570 mini club soon! Just bought mine for $99.

Love that motherboard. Need more blue themed boards like that.

 

[TheHig]

Holiday gifts can be for you too...

D5 next
because of the love for the s4 mini I can't find the way to use it

 

[CC Ricers]

Finally got my RX 570.

Finally got my RX 570.

If it's all the same, I would rather have the case there. Also, you considered how cool that case would be machined??
