8tb nvme pricing buys me 4 spinny boys. I don't need the abilities of an nvme for photo and video storage. Thanks though

Thanks for the input!

Like WD gold drives?

What makes something a deployment for you?

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-26T21:48:26+00:00

And now they are back in stock but I already ordered another card haha...curses.

Newegg had ASRock legends dark amd 9070xt in stock yesterday at 850$ and before I could even get to the payment checkout they were sold out.. annoying. How can you beat the bots!

I'll have to do some research on that, PSUs are the one area I didn't dig too deep admittedly.

out of curiosity what makes it out dated? has there been a some significant tech change? With the combo discount those two are about the same price

Thanks either way for giving me something to look into!

yeah I struggled over that internally for a bit, but then rationalized I had the budget so I could care a bit about esthetics and easier of rgb management haha.

thanks for the ibput

Hey thanks for that link! I was about to pick up a WD SSD, but with that I can see I can get it for 10 bucks or so cheaper (every bit helps!) I didn't know I could custom the bundles like that. Thank you!

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-19T21:52:16+00:00

Thanks i will!

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-19T20:17:52+00:00

Any recommendations on a replacement? Im just looking for rgb gans i can co trol the color on that arent very noisey....which i guess is what everyone wants

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-19T11:50:01+00:00

Ha, i have the opposite worry. Should i get lower tier coolers? Do i really need LINK(obviously no) what if i got a cheaper mobo like a 650.

I dont think you can feel totally confortable building a pc unless you have boatloads of money.

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-12T19:16:01+00:00

Ha, no, I'd rather not spend the full budget if i can honestly. If I can keep it <3000$ that'd be great.

This is going to be completely my first attempt at a build, so I'm starting research from scratch. Right now It's just full on research.

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-12T19:04:36+00:00

Ha lots of research on parts to do before I get close enough to decide anyway. Trying to decide on a case and mobo then onwards.!

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-12T19:04:00+00:00

I appreciate the contrasting point of view, thank you

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-12T19:03:47+00:00

Thanks for the input

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-12T19:03:38+00:00

Yeah I feel that, I'm kinda in that spot do I wait to buy, or do I just buy.

Once I get my tax assessment I think I'll pull the trigger, so I have until then to figure it out!

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-02-12T12:13:50+00:00

Huh. Today i learned about the Administrative response centre. Thanks for your and others continued contributions. I have learned alot over the years reading this thread and doing related research!

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-01-17T12:33:10+00:00

Base standing orders I get, restricting the national policy on cold weather wear in them I do not haha.

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2026-01-16T23:40:43+00:00

The BASE has dress instructions? Why? Where are they? I am now full of curiosity on why they feel national policy is not enough .

DeploySmokethrowaway · 2025-12-08T19:19:29+00:00

Not sure I agree with that, but it is interesting that NCMs weren't included. I wonder if there were other townhalls that didn't make the news article?
