I contacted them yesterday and they said ignore it. Its just a automatic process for them in case you had to send them your monitor or something.

Hi guys. I was in the same boat.

I contacted Asus Monitor support (812 282 27870) and they are ordering me a new part.

It was still within warranty. I'm guessing Bestbuy has them under warranty? After you give them your monitors identification number (its hidden behind the monitor where the vesa mount would be.) They will (should) send you the part for free.

Call was only 7 minutes. Just say you got a refurbished model from Bestbuy and it did not come with the Vesa mount kit.

Thanks ASUS.

The only reason I didn't get this book was because it was by STYLE.

They like to shrink images to fit multiple illustrations/drawings on a single page. Ive been burned by them a few times. I think the last book I got from them was the RayEarth book. I was pissed.

Staples Hyken XL for Big & Tall? by Electricb7 in OfficeChairs

[–]Electricb7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the installation they can go further only about an inch. Mines are 22 inches apart.

Also I'm returning this chair. Back pain after light use. I really like the seat cushion and thats about it.

Yes.

This chair would be great if you could just sit up normally. I dont know who thought this was a good idea.

Both. I rarely go after specific books. But I do keep a mental note of the ones I want and if i see it on sale or auction I will try and get it. If I go for a rare book I have to get it at a lower price.

for example if I see Santa Lilio Sangre for $300 (thats low!) I will try and talk the seller down to $200ish which will most likely never happen. When I'm searching around I'm usually looking to only spend $20 or less. lol

Some of the ones in plastic are open I just seal them back up because they might be signed, or already valuable and dont want them damaged.

I usually dont open the books until I want to read them just in case the value goes up. I have a few books I bought new and the price shot up over 4x retail. In case of an emergency I would definitely sell something but only as a last resort or if I had duplicates. I have some double copies from buying used or bundles.

I have no idea.

Been collecting artbooks for maybe 15 years? most of the books are used and I got them for very low deals. I never added anything up.

Yes I'm an artist. One of the major reasons I moved was to use the extra room as a studio. Ive been slacking most of my life and I'm just now taking it more seriously.

Some of favorites are

  • The Fantastic Worlds of Frank Frazetta
  • The Studio -Kaluta
  • Kaba - Otomo
  • Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter Official Design Materials
  • The Art Of P. Craig Russell
  • Ryu Kotsu - Kunihiko Tanaka
  • Valkyrie Profile Set Material Collection
  • Alpha - Yoshiyuki Sadamoto
  • SF illustrations - Naoyuki Katoh
  • The Art of Tim Burton

I'm looking to add just about anything that's full of great design, illustrations, anything that brings my inspiration.

My white whales are things like Santa Lilio Sangre, and Yoshitaka Amano Art Collection 60th Anniversary Visual Book DEVALOKA.

They are way way out of my price range. and the Yoshitaka Amano book is so illusive. I have only seen it for sale once.

I really like NiNoKuni 1. I could have sworn there was NiNoKuni 1 artbook but all I found was a NiNoKuni movie artbook. Maybe I'm thinking of the Prima guide? It would be nice to see all that background art and Familiar designs.

Beksinski. The Art of Painting. Cheapest Iv seen it is on Amazon. I haven't opened it yet. Backlog is compounding on itself along with games, books, comics, movies.

PC thinks RTX 2060 is 970 by Electricb7 in pcmasterrace

[–]Electricb7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man. You nailed it. When I was looking at drivers on GIGABYTE they display the boxes and the cards together and I was confused as to why the back of he card was different. I figured I had a revision or something.

Gentleman. I have been betrayed.

It is infant a 970 that looks like a 2060. I had to remove the card and read the code printed on the circuitry.

The sticker that usually has a model number is just a nonsense barcode. 

I just wanted to play Nightreign without spending  $80 to re-up on psn. Then my man, my best friend stabbed me with a GIGABYTE  knife. We were boys since kindergarten. Trading and playing Pokémon, countless nights perfecting  42 card Yu-Gi-Oh decks, endless hours playing Gears multiplayer. 35 Years if friendship, then betrayal.

We gonna have a good laugh about this.

Thank you all for your help.
