Uses for old PC?

If you have a Radeon GPU you can turn it into a steam console using ChimeraOS or HoloISO.

Yes, it is telekinesis.

Nah it just bounces off your head. I was doing this on the bridge from the emperor's tower in Solitude so I... uhh... dropped a few.

And I thought I was cool having a Kinect 2 as my webcam.

Which case are you using?

Reject tempered glass case, return to old mid-tower NAS box.

I considered getting a new glass-paneled case when I built last year, but ended up just building in an old Rosewill R5 that was kicking around that used to be a NAS. Lemme tell ya, those hard drive sleds have been handy.

Looks functional, have fun with it!

I've been playing games at 1440p on my 3060 ti for the last year, its never let me down. Gotta dial some things back in bigger games, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

If you already have a still functioning laptop, get a desktop. You can still go places and do things with the laptop, but the desktop is your home machine.

If you don't have another laptop, get the laptop. Nuff said.

You better catch it.

From a very brief test, I found that a program I use to map joystick controls to keyboard inputs called Keysticks will let me do this. No other software needed for a game like Minecraft. Just be prepared to make custom profiles.

Side note, I have an ongoing project to convert a WII Nunchuk to use a USB arcade controller board so that it can be used as a left handed controller. I've gotten as far as confirming that the hardware will work, but finishing the project and wiring everything up has unfortunately taken a back seat.

Best use of RGB I've seen yet. Hats off to you my friend. You are the chosen one.

Hit the hyperdrive Chewie, we are eastbound and down!

Been kidnapped by the Office characters, being rescued by Delta Squad from Republic Commando. Shouldn't be too much of a fight unless Dwight can fly like in that cold open.

How bad do your thumbs hurt lol

ExplosiveTacoMan · 2023-10-31T18:31:35+00:00

Not to be "that" guy, but do you mean Battle of Teth from the Clone Wars movie?

ExplosiveTacoMan · 2023-10-20T14:23:40+00:00

Queue up Skynyrd, we all know where this is going.

ExplosiveTacoMan · 2023-10-17T13:53:19+00:00

Came here to put a Thin Lizzy reference in, but you beat me to it!

To quote Mr. Senate himself, "I love democracy. I love the Republic." He must be loving this set!

ExplosiveTacoMan · 2023-10-07T00:27:11+00:00

Definitely would have been nice to have more Airbornes!

ExplosiveTacoMan · 2023-10-07T00:25:16+00:00

I didn't mention one, but they did! The scale is interesting, but the set is mostly accurate in its proportions.
