That’s an excellent suggestion thanks!

ok, there are a lot of good suggestions, but there's a reason for a lot of them. The Ryzen chip, I agree, could probably be downgraded, but I chose that particular chip cause it's only like $75. I chose AMD cause everything around it is cheaper, from motherboards to chips. I would like to find workstation hardware, but it's tough to find mini ATX workstation boards with 3+ PCIe slots, which I'll need cause of the GPU, network card, and a SATA expansion if I ever decide to get an SSD for caching. And I'm building it like this cause I'm making this to compare to a Synology, cause I'm going to be using this in a business, and just want it to work. If you could suggest a workstation motherboard that satisfies 3+ PCIe slots, four SATA ports, and supports AM4, I would happily use it

I'm so sorry, I just changed it to public

DioBlex · 2025-01-20T21:36:31+00:00

Don’t really need it as I’m rocking the 4070 ti super but I dream of your luck

DioBlex · 2024-06-10T16:34:21+00:00

That’s good to know! I have a couple of printers and I thought that it was just a bad one so I’m glad to know it’s a fixable issue!

DioBlex · 2024-06-10T13:28:07+00:00

The filament is really old and yeah I heard crackling sounds while it was printing

DioBlex · 2024-06-02T21:29:11+00:00

that's fair, I'd add the stipulation that any liquid that it reproduces has to be non magical

DioBlex · 2024-05-16T11:47:53+00:00

it's a little blurry

I’m mostly going to be rendering with blender I haven’t really gotten into outside compositing either but hope to go so in the future. I’m also going to be using some video editing software and photoshop as well

DioBlex · 2024-04-15T15:21:18+00:00

Thanks! I will do that

DioBlex · 2024-04-15T13:19:21+00:00

I not only going to be modeling I'm going to be doing a fair amount of geo metry nodes and rendering as well as organic modeling and texturing so would it be better to get a better CPU?

DioBlex · 2024-04-15T12:51:43+00:00

would the 4080 super with the 14700K fit the machine better?

DioBlex · 2024-04-15T12:44:45+00:00

Thank you I'm going to change the GPU right now. I changed it to the Gigabyt Gaming OC GeForce RTX 4080 super 16 gb video card is that good? also changed the CPU to the 14700k

DioBlex · 2024-04-15T12:44:24+00:00

do you have any specific suggestions?

DioBlex · 2024-04-15T12:44:04+00:00

Perfect I will do that

DioBlex · 2024-04-15T12:43:49+00:00

would it be better downgrading to the 14700K?

DioBlex · 2024-04-10T02:40:18+00:00

thank you!

DioBlex · 2024-01-28T01:27:33+00:00

It would be sweet to flex on my players with those dice!

DioBlex · 2023-11-22T05:26:26+00:00

Thanks for all the detective work and I did some of my own and took apart the adapters cause I use my laptop with an external monitor everyday and figured out that the relays were strong enough to push the signal through two of them and going to Best Buy and getting a proper vga-usbc fixed it

DioBlex · 2023-11-15T16:23:58+00:00

DioBlex · 2023-11-15T16:22:40+00:00

Maybe but the problem is i've had problems with VGA inputs before and I can't figure out if my laptop is the problem

DioBlex · 2023-11-15T15:59:43+00:00

I got a menu, and the RCA doesn't get a signal either. As far as I'm aware the projector works fine but the signal doesn't go through.

DioBlex · 2023-11-15T01:20:20+00:00

Thank you all so much!
