Man, I was just giving Xexx Xexx some shit over RGB. I wasn't even considering the function of that case.

That case is so huge I dont even thing it needs fans. The case itself is a heatsink.

Reminds me of the old Dell workstation that I retired from Plex server duty earlier this year. Fucker is thick steel and weighs over 50 lbs with only a singe drive in it.

I just tore apart 4 old workstations, the blue Antec was one of them, the rest is HP bullshit, but I still scalped parts.

I must say though, I don't buy or like HP, their case designs are skookum, solid AF

Any use for the Core Duo or Pentium processors in the Maker world?

Maximus ranger 8 with 6600k
16gb 3200 cl 16 ddr4
1tb 2.5" ssd
Evga 1080ti.


Debating what to do, 6-700 whole system sale, just sell card for $400 since i have someone interested, remotely worth closet mining? Just fighting the urge to hoard and keep it.
For my use I doubt i could use a home server. Wifes comp is worse but she doesnt really play anything anyways.

6600k has an IGPU. Sell the 1080, use the rest to upgrade the wife.

Another trying to be philanthropic is a coworker has a 1660 super and I'm sure rest of build is shit, so maybe let him have it for the price of just the card.

Does windows 10 have a nice way to wipe a ssd but leave the windows install alone? Thought i read that, and i don't think i have my key saved when i bought it off reddit.

In recovery there is an option to reinstall Windows and choose to keep files or wipe it all.

Yeah, "Reset this PC" generally does not require putting your key back in, even if you wipe the whole thing. You can also tell it to exclude other drives. If you use a Microsoft account you also probably don't need your key either.

Yeah i had picked up 4 to cover my 2 karlby's but only used 2 bc girlfriend refused to not use the LoL one - tried to sell them locally but nope!
I like the one I have. I think they are coming out with a dark one at some point, and I'll probably get that one.
