Ah, it's like a old PS2 ad. I can't remember exactly how, but I did manage to hook my old PC to a CRT TV when I had it. Used the TV to play PC ports such as GTA Vice City before I got a PS2 myself.

I went back to team AMD with a Asrock B450 Gaming-ITX/ac and 2200G APU for light gaming.
The CPU cooler is old, but some AM4 mounting brackets give it new life. I might experiment with a passive heatsink later.

I have some old GPUs that have TV output. I'm going to probably toss together a retro rig in a Dan A4 to see if I can get them to work for old PC games and emulators.

The CNPS2X looks raw though.

It looks perfect. LOL. I love the Zalman flowers.

Haagen - NZ award-winning beer to give me the much needed relax from all the stress

I thought you were going to say the above?

 

[confusis]

@tinyitx Haagen is a pretty cheap swill, refreshing though

Bought an EK leak testing kit a few days ago to help bring my desktop back online after the move.

Made a massive difference in how scary the reassembly process was, helped me identify that my drain port was potentially leaky (it never leaked before, but under pressure the tubing there didn't sit well on the barb), and overall was a joy to use. Definitely recommended for anyone already stomaching the expense of a custom loop.

can someone mod my AsRock A320TM BIOS please? ?

Just added a contrasting silver power button to my travel setup.

Came in very handy for a 2 night stay in London.

I've been looking for this case with the hexagon holes too but I've been getting dead links. Could you share which seller you purchased yours from?

I purchased it second hand. I don't think its available anymore.

 

[GuilleAcoustic]

Nothing fancy, it was the only model available, but I bought an automatic wire stripper :

I used to Superbuy to ship it to Scotland via DHL. I've started seeing the K39 appear on Ebay though which might be cheaper in the end.

Another camera accessory, a "macro" tripod:

Isn't it cute ? Will be handy for product shots on a table.

Nice one. I only have a Gorillapod SLR Zoom for my A100. As long as it gets the job done, though

My ITX motherboard wouldn't boot anymore so I had to find a cheap replacement. I went for micro ATX this time, with a Gigabyte B450 Aorus M which was used for $50.

I also bought a Silverstone ST45SF-G for $30, and the only issue was that it didn't have the 24-pin cable. I fashioned one from a very short 24-pin cable I had thanks to @WiSK's pinout diagram and it worked! Considering how cheap this SFX PSU was, I think I made out like a bandit on this one.

Raspberry Pi 400 Kit. Unsure why I bought it, except it seems I needed more than anything.

I almost bought one of these too, just cause they are so cool.

Agreed, though I was really disappointed that they stuck to micro HDMI - there's plenty of space for full size connectors there.

 

[GuilleAcoustic]

It's cool, yes ... but ... it's not beige ! What a missed opportunity ?
