Gave away my Dell U2711 monitor - it served me well for a whopping 11 years, but it has been acting erratically lately, and in the end the DP input was only intermittently accepting inputs. Disassembly showed a bunch of bulging caps on the motherboard, and as I don't have the time to try recapping myself I listed it for free for anyone wanting to repair it on FB marketplace, and got a taker who promised to recap it. Good to see it go to a new home, eve if it's sad to see it go. As I'm not working from home any more I'm fine with using only my secondary 24" AOC for the time being - until someone releases a sensibly priced true HDR 27" 2160p144 monitor (miniLED or OLED plz).

Today, I ordered my first mechanical keyboard kit. Been using mechs for almost 3 decades now. Started with a Mitsumi based board in the late 80's, then moved to a model M on my IBM in the mid 90's. Converted an M0110 (Alps SKCC cream tall) mid 2010's and have to finish restorating my model F XT.

This time, I went with a DIY Reviung34 with an optional laser-cut high density plate foam and Gateron PRO Yellow Milky keyswitches. Still have to decide on the keycaps now (profile and colours) (PCB and foam are black on mine)

Was browsing around & found these Jonsbo LP coolers.




(White version)

63mm tall (not sure with or without fan, I can't find any diagram).

Supports Intel LGA 1700/1200/115X, AMD AM4.
found those myself yesterday and spent some time looking around google/youtube from what I could gather the 62mm height is with a fan but I will find out this week or early next week as I have ordered one from caseking.de ( edit ) found specs on aliexpress

I see your forthcoming Densium APU build is getting closer!
I'm still waiting on the cooler (99.99% will be the AXP120-X67) and looking for a deal on an X570/B550 ITX motherboard locally (AM4 prices still quite high as it is, thanks AM5!)

Went outside and it was mad cold.
We've done with cold in South Coast England, back to less cold but constant rain.
Did go out in it, but not for longer than necessary.
Came home from work early as I was feeling grotty and found all the post held up in last week's postal strike has arrived in one go!
