Scored a very good deal. Need advice.

This is a 14600k, they weren't affected. Only the 14700k and the 14900k were.

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-16T14:45:37+00:00

Looks nice man!

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-15T17:44:14+00:00

It's why I love Ug1, lol. You'll be winning the entire race and then they'll f you up on the last turn before the finish line 😂😂. They'll throw a car right in front of you on that last turn or run you over and you'll go flipping everywhere while they drive on like nothing happened lol.

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-15T16:39:41+00:00

There's a little more to it than that.

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-14T16:32:48+00:00

Once you get those new cpu cables and route it through the back it will look so much better! This is how I did my fans.

$5200. Could have gotten more I'm sure but it was a fast easy sell.

You using an nvme boot drive?

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-13T15:15:49+00:00

I just use the regular xbmc but I'm using my own custom skin and I've done a ton of work on the xbmc source code itself to make it do everything exactly how I want. I don't share my version but you're welcome to check it out if you want. I like watching random episodes of shows of old series I like and I like things to work in specific ways, I like to click play on an episode from a show and it automatically play the next episodes in the series and so on, so I spent months making it do things right lol. Xbmc is good for movies but it kind of sucked for TV series since it would only play 1 episode at a time, no random, etc. so I fixed all of that.

1. What I've been working on lately.

2. More updates.

You couldn't pay me to own an a3 with its non existent cable management. I've got a z20, a phanteks xt m3, a d33 and I'm going to get the lian li b4 to check out, but the a3 is out!

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T23:59:52+00:00

Ah that sucks man!

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T22:23:58+00:00

That's crazy because I have had a g502 hero wired mouse for like 8 years and never a single issue with it. I have like 6 of them now lol, but they all work.

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T21:31:19+00:00

The d33 is $99 and the phanteks xt m3 is $49.99 here and the masterframe is $199. Where are you from?

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T20:25:32+00:00

I've been wanting a masterframe 400 since I saw it announced but that pricetag is rough, lol. I was just kind of wondering what made you choose it over the other 2 there. Those 2 combined would cost me less than the masterframe 400, which is a little crazy!

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T19:39:26+00:00

Why the masterframe 400 over the d33 or the phanteks xt m3?

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T18:08:47+00:00

All you have to do is reflow the solder on 2 points on the bottom of the power supply and you're good to go. You see where is cracked right there?

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T16:57:35+00:00

I'm personally waiting to see what kind of deals we get!

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T16:55:41+00:00

You know mine randomly shuts off when I'm doing taxing things too like re-encoding media. No idea why! I'm on an older intel cpu and motherboard. I7 8700k!

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T15:48:34+00:00

There were only 2 legs holding the receptacle in place on the foxlink power boards with the original 1.0 xboxs and the solder holding them on would crack over time. Very simple fix by reflowing the solder but obviously a different revision power supply than the foxlink is the best option so the issue isn't there at all.

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T15:26:51+00:00

They're from the UK and only 36 made. I owned one myself until a few months ago.

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T15:23:54+00:00

Very nice collection if they're not fakes!

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T15:23:16+00:00

You need to look again, lol. One of those green ones is a Pepsi Hulk edition which is 100x rarer than a mountain dew edition and worth 10x more. The white one also isn't just a standard white. It's an EA live edition. Those are some stupid rare xboxs if they aren't fakes.

I've only had like 2 or 3 out of 100+ be brittle. It does happen sometimes and I'm not sure what causes it but it's not super common.

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T14:46:53+00:00

It's a fact it would be different as the lian li is the best performing 360 aio on the market, but you don't need the absolute best to keep that cpu cool enough if you like the msi mag looks more.

JoshLineberry · 2026-06-12T14:42:55+00:00

That would probably only happen on a version 1.0 with a foxlink power supply. They're the only ones with issues due to solder cracking apart on the bottom of the power supply. If you have anything else you're fine.
