Love your mini the901. My better half's parents bought one, they love it. Chapel Hill/Carrboro is like Mini ground zero, I counted 12 one day just going to the store, lol. There is even a yellow restored classic Mini around here I see out occasionally. Posted her in this thread when she was...

Holy FUCK Oubliette. I think this was the first PC game I ever played, early '80s on my dad's IBM PC AT. It even has primitve ascii hallway graphics. And your characters can die of old age, that always pissed me off. Thanks for this post. I spent my entire childhood playing DOS games, glad to...

You guys are right of course, I was white knighting her. I posted that about 5 minutes after credits rolled. After my emotions cooled off I realize that it's not that complicated, of course she left him to die. Caleb's gullible white knight ass was going to visit that same fate upon Nathan given...

Just saw this. Best sci-fi movie I've seen in years. Brilliant. I don't think Ava was a monster. She glances, for a half second, at Caleb, right before the elevator closes. Definitely a purposeful clue to some real, humanesque emotion. ALSO. I don't think she left Caleb to die. Remember...

Timely topic for me. My Neutral Posture chair finally bit the bullet, plastic in the back cracked completely in half. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on an Aeron, or even possibly an Embody. Herman Miller on their twice a year sale right now, 15% off til dec 14th. 12 year warranty for 24/7...

Very nice, thanks. I'm not sure I'm going to expend the effort on this old beat up raven, like I probably won't bother resleeving the uncovered wiring on those fans, but I've saved for later on amazon.

Final Black Friday/Cyber Monday haul: Logitech G502 - $40 ($70 on amazon now) - my beloved mx518 is dying, short in the cord, have to continually unplug and plug it back in these days, I will frame it and hang it on my wall, my favorite piece of pc equipment all-time. Logitech G910 Orion...

Nvidia Shield, with remote, and stand, for $160 at newegg. $150 on amazon currently without the stand, figured the combo with stand was a better deal. Kind of an impulse buy, needed a streamer for my living room tv, was going to pick up a fire tv. Was also thinking about picking up an xbone...

I went big years ago. Your brain and reflexes will adjust to whatever tiny amount of input lag there might be. I use a set of low input lag LG ips 1080p tvs in a surround setup. I tried out a 27 inch monitor surround setup after using a 40 inch Samsung VA panel for a couple of years. Couldn't do...

Weird, site working smoothly for me.

As far as deals go, I thought I would point out that the i7-4790k has been dropped to $299. That puts it pretty close to the $270ish price that you can find the 6600k for right now. Grab a combo like this one from newegg for further savings -Newegg.com - Cyber Monday Is HERE - We're Bringing...

I run 2 970s in sli, they have been great at 5760x1080. During the Haswell era, motherboards didn't matter much, because the voltage regulation was done on the cpu itself. They have reverted back to letting the motherboard handle it for skylake, so the motherboard VRM ostensibly matters...

Just noticed that phat rebate on the Hero, if you're into mail-in rebates, that makes it a great deal. And I'm pretty sure you can just leave that IO cover off, then it will look like the Ranger.

That board seems to have lots of features for the price, I've had my eye on it also. But, anecdotally anyway, the one Gigabyte board I had was plagued with issues and eventually failed, while every Asus board I've had has been rock solid. Also, I'm seeing reviews on that UD5 complain about...

You need a z170 motherboard for an unlocked cpu like the 6600k. Especially with an overkill cooler like the nh-d15. If you aren't going to overclock just grab one of the non-k skylake cpus and a cheap cooler like the 212 evo.

Audyssey Audyssey Audyssey. I'm the Herald, the High Priest, Fanboy #1 of Audyssey. Especially for us random noobs and budget oriented people that aren't going to spend a bunch of time and money treating the walls for sound reflections and whatnot. I have set up my denon avrs, one with audyssey...

Really sorry to hear this. You are one of the good ones. I mostly lurk, except for the Desktop Computers thread, and a few terrible, drunken posts in the Political thread that even I would neg myself for. But I read it all, and I really enjoy your posts and gentle, friendly demeanor. Just wanted...

AMD cpus are garbage, ancient tech. I'm positive the just released i3-6100 would beat that 8320 in any gaming benchmark you care to pick for 20 dollars less. Intel Core i3-6100 3M 3.7 GHz LGA 1151 BX80662I36100 Desktop Processor - Newegg.com Jump up $100 to a 6600k and you'll have a...

Are you illiterate? I'm pretty sure speech-to-text software would do a better job than this unreadable garbage. Try it out.

At least you seem to understand that you're a walking, talking, self-fulfilling prophecy. Unlike most redpillers.

EVGA updated their matx x99 board.

I liked PaineelThe rowdy dancing skelly troupe in the tavern was awesome!

I went through a serious business/look how adult my computer that I slay dragons on looks phase too, but I'm personally utterly bored of black aluminum nondescript bricks. The closer my next system looks like a piece of equipment off of a bad '80s scifi spaceship, the better! On the topic of...

Glad you're up and running! My current build is also ultra quiet, all pwm fans via a silverstone pwm fan hub and those msi 4g cards. Can't tell it's on unless a game is running. I'm about to build a new machine actually, this 3930k is going to be analyzing data in my better half's lab. Have...

Love this. I worked at a FQ tourist trap place called Pierre Maspero's for a couple of years. It had mice. One day there was a mouse running under people's tables while the place was packed. Busboy comes out from the kitchen with a rake or a shovel or something, can't remember, and beats it to...

This is similar to what I started doing. It's really the only thing that has stuck. I had some pretty severe hunger pangs/headaches the first few days, but those went away. It may not be the healthiest, or fastest way to lose weight, but it's working for me. Really just eat one meal a day now...

I would try to spend a few more dollars on the gpu to land an ACX 2.0+ model, or something like the MSI 4G 970, over that particular card, which is their acx 2.0 design. MSI supposedly has decent support as well, haven't ever had to use it. Not a huge deal. I have a pair of the MSI cards in sli...

Go to New Orleans! No contest. It is unlike anywhere else in the USA, really unique history and culture with a laidback vibe I have yet to encounter anywhere else. The transplants in New Orleans aren't there for the jobs, they are there for the city. I've made countless friends from out of state...

Grats! I just got it for DS2 I'm at 34 of 41 on DS1. Knights Honor is a beast. It took me like 250+ Channeler kills to get the fucking trident. FUCK that was painful.

I coincidentally started a new Dark Souls playthrough then read about this. Synchronicity! I watched them successfully get the mace equipped the first day. Amazing. Can you imagine them trying to get through Crystal Cave? The sun might go red giant before they get across the invisible bridges.

How much did your wife cost?

Newegg often runs promo codes on all sorts of shit, often the best option. Just tried to get a final price on the i5-4690k from ncixus, yikes, what a hard to read site. Then wouldn't give me free ground shipping. Here is my attempt at a $1500 color-matched build using a windowed case...

I do remember the days of very poor sli support, and looks like there are still some issues, I just haven't played any of the games on that list aside from DS2. Played that on a gtx 690, which is technically sli, didn't notice a framerate issue so maybe just didn't notice it wasn't supported. Or...

Voodoo was so lustworthy, near the true beginning of the 3d gaming experience. I can't remember if they were the first ever card or not, but they were close. Wish I still had my old rigs, a p90, an amd k6, a fcpga pentium, moved too many times to too many apartments, just couldn't keep up...

Organized my tech stuff recently and actually found them, antiques from the pre-GTX era. Complete with aftermarket cooling

I'm pretty up on sli setups these days, think I might even try my first tri-sli setup soon with another 970. My first sli setup was a pair of 7800 GTs, and things have never been better for sli imo. A pretty fluid and bug free experience compared to the old days I'd say. edit: I should say I...

One last comment on the audio, since I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes good audio on his or her gaming pc. Ran audyssey calibration, 40hz crossover handled on these big bookshelves no problem. Sounds fucking fantastic. All 'budget' audio parts too, Polk speakers bought on sale at newegg...

You guys are right. Instead of another desk I'm going to grab a couple of shelves from ikea and attach adils legs to them and slide them behind the desks. Will give me another 10 or 11 inches of depth, should help a lot. Love the recliner idea as well. Currently using a Neutral Posture chair...

That is the one flaw with this setup, the shallowness of the desk. It shouldn't be a huge problem, as the side screens are more for an enveloping peripheral vision feel than to directly look at. Games not optimized for triple monitor setups sometimes do have menus and maps and stuff that remain...
