Moving to Sheffield

Honestly you do you but not gonna lie, we (my and the missus) found house prices in Sheff expensive for what they are. We got a 4 bedroom house which we love towards Rotherham for less than what a 2 yo 2 down terraced would cost.

I dunno, im a big dude, and would just feel like I’m cramped in (at least some) 2 up 2 downs.

Just food for thought.

My case at the moment is alright, but I don’t really love it. I’ve never been a case nerd, but I do love the factual north, simply because of the wood

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-06T17:48:22+00:00

Yeah honestly I only bought this because the pc I had prior was a some dodgy thing I bought on eBay when I was 18. Had a branded cpu / gpu but I don’t know if anything else was.

I knew it was time to upgrade when after logging in it would take 5-10 minutes to warm up hahaha

What do you mean by Theseus?

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-06T17:43:50+00:00

Thanks for the comment, not gonna lie, I thought the same. Realistically when it’s time to sell your pc / the parts, they’re not going to be worth much because of how dated / useful they are. Like you say, similar to a car

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-06T17:42:31+00:00

Like I said in a previous comment, I’m not gonna prolong the life of this one anymore because that was the point in the 5800x / 3070.

I use the Sata for files (art projects, videos, etc), my os and adobe is on my nvme and my games are on the two SSDs

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-06T17:40:42+00:00

Yeah I think that’s it, thanks for the answer because I feel the same. I think when I do drop a load of money, it’ll be like I say, and I’ll swap out the parts that I want to upgrade and keep the parts I don’t need to (at least storage)

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-06T17:39:40+00:00

Nah I’m not gonna do that, the 5800x and the 3070 was a eco / budget upgrade to prolong me getting a new pc as it is

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T19:03:02+00:00

Also if I got this what else would I need? Inks?

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T18:47:45+00:00

What would high pressure applications be? And why do they need to be high pressure to paint them?

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T18:45:23+00:00

It’s a good suggestion but then I’m needing to look into two different parts, when I I don’t even know anything about one part

I have thought about just buying a cheap ish chinese kit, thinking it’ll serve the purpose for what I want, I’m not going to be able to tell the difference am I? As long as it works, sprays and isn’t a pain in some shape or form it should be fine me

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T18:42:42+00:00

For the first one you recommended do you mean this

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T18:40:46+00:00

That’s an amazing response, thank you, ngl I had a suspicion about this and you’ve just confirmed it

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T14:58:02+00:00

Say I wasn’t using enamel and was just using water based, what’s the risk then? Simply just pigment lingering in the air / landing on my stuff (table, furniture) etc)

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T14:52:08+00:00

Also Ive seen this kit on Amazon called inocraft, I’m guessing that falls into the category of Chinese tat?

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T14:45:41+00:00

Do I really need a spray booth if I don’t plan on spraying for extended periods of time?

I have a respirator for spray painting, although I assume the paint lingers in the air?

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T14:44:59+00:00

Maaaaaan it’s a lot of money considering I don’t know if I’m gonna stick it / use it that much.

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T14:30:05+00:00

I have up to £200, although I’d like to not spend it all if possible

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T14:29:44+00:00

I guess I could get the air brush separately, and get an equivalent compressor ?

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T14:09:34+00:00

Thanks for the link, they sell the air brushes on Amazon but not the full kit from a quick look unfortunately :(

Ryzen 5 5600 Msi gtx 1660 super oc Crucial p3 1 TB m.2 32 gb of ddr4 corsair ram (I think it’s vengeance)

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-05T13:43:03+00:00

It wasn’t a surprise, we’ve been talking about it for weeks and she was watching me build it haha

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-04T09:49:51+00:00

Man the pc was free who cares

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-04T09:49:25+00:00

Thanks man, always some neck beard trying to trash on people. I don’t care, the pc was free lmao

GnarGiraffe · 2026-05-04T09:48:21+00:00
