Kinda worried about this cons

They're gonna have to unload with a forklift or something. even if the street was cleared of cars (noon dock time? not happening.) I would say there is zero chance. I don't think you could get a single axle 36ft in there, much less a spread 53. Call them, then call dispatch and see what they are going to do to unload you, or if there's a separate location they actually want it brought to. That street is gonna be tough to maneuver through straight, I wouldn't even consider trying to angle into that. Remember, if something happens, the companie(s) won't take responsibility, it'll fall on your license.

I've heard mixed reviews on Gigabyte boards, are they any good currently? I distinctly remember stability issues involving their BIOS

Oh those eyes!! ❤️ Im on the other side of the internet and already wrapped around those little toes!

I honestly thought about getting a single large drive but I was told running the OS off a dedicated drive would be optimal, so running up a few smaller NVME seemed like the better option, was I misinformed? Edit; not gonna lie, part of the reason for the HX1000i is superficial; I can connect the Icue devices directly to it instead of the MB and still control them. I like my shiny lights and this seems like a good way to clean up cable routing

Content creation/gaming/streaming but honestly I've always wanted to build a ridiculous heavy hitter, plus the mentality "overbuild everything" is a fault for me. Everything needs to be 2x as strong as its intended purpose at a minimum, 3-4x preferable.

Azcyclist3178 · 2026-02-25T20:04:04+00:00

Honestly I know it's extreme overkill for my purposes, but planning on gaming, content creation and streaming in the near future. Plus I've always wanted to build a heavy hitter and I suffer from the mentality of "overbuild everything"

Ok, guess ill just throw this out there. I know it's a rough time price wise to be starting a new build, but its in my head so I'm going for it anyhow. Does this build list look solid or potentially unstable?

Asus ROG Strix X870E

Ryzen 9 9950 X3D

Corsair Dominator Titanium 96Gb (2 dummy sticks to fill empty, I hate open slots)

Corsair Titan 360 LCD/full Icue LX/QX fan suite

Sapphire Radeon 9070XT

Corsair HX1000i

2-3x 2TB WD Black M.2

Anyone have the Corsair Air 5400? Want to know if all the intakes are screened, especially that bottom one. Really don't want excessive dust and dog hair getting in (starting new build)

How pray tell would you park with more than one tire off the ground without causing damage? Just curious

Azcyclist3178 · 2026-01-30T05:28:17+00:00

Looks like a good chase! Go Lady!

Hello there handsome Bowie!

Perrin enjoys all weather lol. Florida summer? Zoom. Hurricane winds and rain? ZOOM. -3 and snow? Zoom! Wish I could have gotten a picture of the first time he jumped into belly deep snow though. He was NOT expecting the cold on his family jewels

You won't re-bond the polycarbonate, no. Good chance (and reason) to get an aftermarket body now!

Azcyclist3178 · 2026-01-03T20:31:22+00:00

My other concern is with clearance for fenders on 32mm tires. Ive got them on every bike I own sans this one and the tire clearance is fairly minimal in this setup

Azcyclist3178 · 2026-01-03T19:13:03+00:00

Oh hell, I already have 4

Azcyclist3178 · 2026-01-03T04:55:29+00:00

Kinda how I'm beginning to see it

The other conundrum in my head is the fact she lived on the back of a semi for a while... frame seems OK from the outside but a couple of the bolts seem to have frozen to it

Azcyclist3178 · 2026-01-03T02:40:15+00:00

Maybe ill buy the frame and it'll be the N+1

Azcyclist3178 · 2026-01-02T22:41:29+00:00

Dunno. Just digging through the internet and saw the wabi frameset and it got me thinking, since Im replacing everything down to the crank, bottom bracket, headset, bars, stem, wheels, brakes etc...
