Re: Specs for a tentative 2021 Gaming PC Build

That's the case my 3900x is in. Cheap and easy to route the wiring. I tend to get performance RAM in general and then go conservative on the timings. I am picky about the voltage that they state those timings are though. Nothing worse than having RAM that is unstable until you up the voltage, but yo...

Re: condo project for 2020

I've found that painters are less than reliable as well.

Re: condo project for 2020

I'm officially done with contractors. I've had to work with about 5 of them in the last 6 months and not a single one was straight forward. Even though a few of them were well known companies. I'd rather do the work myself. Speaking of which, I just spent the day painting... week in fact.

Re: New Java Minecraft snapshot 20w45a

It's amazing how much they keep adding to that game. Honestly, it's hard to even keep track any more. I play it over LAN with my daughter every few months in a world she started when she was about 7.

Re: condo project for 2020

That sucks. That's part of the reason we never did our kitchen while we were in the house. I was terrified that it would be 6 months before I got it back together.

Re: SFF (re)build recommendations

A Micro-ATX board wouldn't fit in there, ITX only. SFF isn't technically a standard. But I know what you're looking for. The SFX power supplies aren't much smaller in my opinion. If everything I owned wasn't in boxes currently, I'd take a pic. The power supply does take up about 50% of the case. It ...

Re: SFF (re)build recommendations

If everything I owned wasn't in boxes currently, I'd take a pic. The power supply does take up about 50% of the case. It uses a Mini ITX motherboard. Yeah, there are smaller cases out there, but shoebox is about the right size for me. It's a lot like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RC...

Re: SFF (re)build recommendations

I actually own one that is SFF, but with an ATX PSU. Unfortunately, it was designed with a DVD drive in mind and thus killed what could have been a great design. The reason I want the ATX PSU is mainly due to cost. The SFX ones are like 2x for the same capacity.

Re: condo project for 2020

I'm tracking right along with you. Finally got my cabinets back in a week ago, installed a backsplash, and now I'm installing laminate. I can finally see the end of the tunnel.

Re: brushless power tools

My first brushless experience is a Chinese copy of a Makita impact. Works pretty well so far.

Re: SFF (re)build recommendations

I'm interested too. For me, I want to know a nice SFF case that uses standard ATX power supplies.

Re: Book recommendation: "We Are Legion (We Are Bob)"

I just got the first audiobook for my birthday a while back. Haven't had time to take a listen yet. The creepy thing is that I was just talking to my friend about this series a couple hours ago. Guess I need to hurry up and get to it.
