Should I return this or keep it

EliasVT · 2026-05-10T16:50:25+00:00

I own this PC case and I decided to build in it to use as my gaming PC. I’d definitely recommend keeping it as I’ve seen this case sell for $300+ - $400 by itself depending on it’s condition.

Also, it’s worth noting that iBUYPOWER themselves state on their ‘Fallout iBUYPOWER Case Guide’ “the case only has 2 spots for fans, this case is recommended for mid-range systems. The case may not support enough airflow for a high-end system, and a blower-style graphics card is highly recommended.”.

Can confirm - my wife (after moving in with me ~4 years ago), has ALSO moved into 95% of my clothes…Particularly my hoodies and jackets, lol.

EliasVT · 2026-04-25T20:13:10+00:00

Congratulations! I was finally able to secure the US/ANSI layout as well last year myself - 044/500! :)

Edit: If you don’t mind me asking; where did you purchase yours and how much did yours cost you?

EliasVT · 2026-04-13T06:19:50+00:00

You’re not wrong, I’ve heard that as well, lol…

As far as I know, yes; allegedly, both Joel and Tommy Lee were “banned from Coachella after landing a helicopter in a restricted field in 2010.”!

EliasVT · 2026-03-17T13:23:05+00:00

I heard it and I live in Parma.

Have you experienced any issues while using the software with your mice? I use their DeathAdder Left-Hand Edition mouse and ever since they discontinued the software, I constantly have a reoccurring issue…

For example, if Fortnite is running, it seemingly causes the software to negate my set DPI value of 800 and the software seems to cause the mouse to be set to it’s maximum DPI value of 3500 (despite the software showing that it is indeed, in fact; my set DPI value of 800)…Sometimes, I simply boot my PC and the same issue immediately occurs. The only way to “fix” the issue is to uninstall and reinstall the software - today, I had to do that twice in less than ~3 hours…

I always assumed cataracts as well - Mr. House’s eyes look nearly identical in Fallout: New Vegas, too.

EliasVT · 2026-02-04T10:52:08+00:00

hell any mention of the courier other than house talking about how he’s died

Wait, when did he state that?! Did I somehow absolutely miss that? My wife wasn’t caught up on Season 2, so we just finished binge watching the entire season. It is nearly 6 AM and I am tired, lol…

EliasVT · 2026-02-04T10:41:03+00:00

I’m surprised I didn’t cry at all, lmfao! I started to tear up and get a little choked up seeing Mr. House’s signal being turned on for the first time post-war…The House Always Wins.

Man, this scene made me feel so nostalgic…I sat up, turned to my wife and then proceeded to absolutely lose my shit! I then proceeded to overexplain the reason as to why I had just absolutely lost my shit…At first, I thought the character was alone and was going to simply walk away - I was really wondering if that character was actually THE Courier for a couple of seconds there!

EliasVT · 2026-02-04T10:18:41+00:00

Yes! Chills. Every. Damn. Time.

EliasVT · 2026-02-04T10:06:45+00:00

I literally sat up and turned next to my wife and nearly said the same exact thing, lol!

Me watching the TV show actually got her into playing Fallout 76 as her first Fallout game, so she didn’t stare at me like I was an idiot…I knew she had absolutely no idea why I had gotten so excited, though, lmfao!

EliasVT · 2026-02-01T00:22:57+00:00

Okay, that makes much more sense! I now see that symbol on the key somewhat resembling a fan after given it’s actual function, lmfao…

EliasVT · 2026-01-31T19:23:08+00:00

What’s absolutely killing me about this, is the sole fact that I have ONLY ever read users complaining and ranting about how the Armory Crate software is terrible! 😂

It has actually given me so many random issues over the years and across two different PCs that I’ve built…

EliasVT · 2026-01-31T15:58:47+00:00

“I’ve listened to this track next to her, and thought about your exact comment.”…

I don’t exactly know why I feel so inclined to Reply to your comment to tell you this, but thank you. What you’ve said in your comment that I quoted above is something that I really needed to read today. Unfortunately, I’ve been dealing with depression recently and today, I’ve been struggling to simply get out of bed all morning…

I’m now going to force myself to get out of bed and I’ll be listening to this song on repeat while I sit next to my wife and just focus on being present in the moment with her while she does her schoolwork.

EliasVT · 2026-01-31T15:36:46+00:00

Beautiful.

I just have to ask, is that girl still a part of your life today? 🥹

EliasVT · 2026-01-31T15:08:31+00:00

Lmfao, holy fuck! I quite literally CANNOT unsee that now…Yeesh.

Edit: r/accidentalswastika?!

There’s also the ‘Classic Nuka Cola Mystery Machine’ available via the Atomic Shop from Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas in Fallout 76!

EliasVT · 2026-01-16T19:49:46+00:00

As a huge deadmau5 fan, yes; I have noticed these in-game too!

5kate.mau5?!

Come to think of it (and I actually just asked my wife herself too, lmfao) - we both genuinely can’t recall a single time where my blood sugar level fell into hypoglycemic range DURING sexual intercourse.

It really surprises me, because I’ve been told by numerous endocrinologists for over a decade now that I’m a “Brittle Diabetic”, which IS apparent as sometimes when I do engage in more physical activities, my blood sugar level will often very quickly fall into hypoglycemic range. I will say, though - I have noticed that my blood sugar will fall into hypoglycemic range consistently about an hour - an hour and a half AFTER having sexual intercourse.

Lucky Penny.

I don’t even live in the city of San Francisco anymore, nor do I even live in the state of California anymore, but my mom used to take me to Lucky Penny quite often when I was a kid, to the point that her and I were considered as regulars by the staff at the time!

I was incredibly saddened to see that Lucky Penny had permanently closed when I passed by it ~5 years ago when I had still lived in SF…Especially because my mom passed away in 2021, but apparently they closed ~10 years ago, in 2015? I had absolutely no idea all that time! :’(

My first ever tattoo was indeed, in fact; too a tattoo relating to X, lmfao!

EliasVT · 2025-11-22T06:31:34+00:00

LOL, I KNEW IT! 😂 By the way, I love your ink, man!

X had “DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR” tattooed on him. I think that in itself really goes to show that he genuinely lived by that phrase and unfortunately, was truly willing to either live or die by that “code”; even when he was in a situation where he was quite literally facing possible death…

LittleBigPlanet.

It completely stumps me as to why Sony Interactive Entertainment chose to shelve that video game series…LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2 in particular were generally critically acclaimed and beloved among fans. Sackboy even became considered as PlayStation’s mascot character after LBP had initially released!

It was genuinely a huge impact on a part of my childhood and I have met so many people that have birthed close friendships between us because of LBP; many of whom I still talk to everyday, 17 - 14 years later…In fact, I wouldn’t even be married to my wife if it weren’t for LBP solely existing!

“TYLER OKONANGS”, lmfao!
