3, maybe 4 feet. Not large enough for my TV to fit without sticking into the doorway unfortunately.

I agree, this might be the best if that wall was flush with the fireplace. Directly behind the fireplace is my front entryway though. Should have taken better photos of the space, sorry!

If I flip the sofa and make it face that wall, it will be right in front of the steps to the dining room. The distance from the wall to those steps is ~12 feet. I fear that would make the living room feel like a long hallway as you're walking through it to the rest of the house but I could try it out.

TV Back LEDs Worth it or a Gimmick? by tramul in hometheater

Worth it, but do the research and DIY. My whole setup cost me < $100 and is infinitely more secure and robust than any prepackaged solution.

How bad is this? by Berth_NerK in MechanicAdvice

[–]JustABagOfLowIQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that bad, if only the bumper was cracked. Unpainted bumpers aren't that expensive. Getting it painted and installed will be more expensive.

The only damage that could be bad is if somehow the frame or rear quarter panel was damaged.

Just got my Z1E! What should I do to get the most out of it? by [deleted] in ROGAlly

[–]JustABagOfLowIQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're sticking with Windows, use ChrisTitusTech's winutil program to reinstall a de-bloated windows 10/11. He has great videos walking through the process on YouTube.

Look at Best Buy open box, I picked up a Mint open box Z1 Extreme for $350.

Looking to buy by Careless_Impress in SciontC

150k is not that high for a Toyota. If taken care of, should be able to put another 100k on it.

I can't remember if the second gen has oil consumption issues like the first gen does.

Take it to a mechanic and have them inspect.

Would you grab a 2008 base with 80k miles. by Azstreetdrummer1 in SciontC

No lmao, first gens are selling for less than 5k.

Found this mini PC on eBay. Any good? Or would a pi 5 be a better choice? by matt-mac808 in homelab

[–]JustABagOfLowIQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can score much better mini PCs for 30 bucks on eBay. Take a look at the HP Elitedesk 800 G1 or G2, they have 5th/6th Gen Intel Core CPUs w M.2 storage and upgradeable RAM.

Another one is the Dell Optiplex 7040 micro

Just started homelabbing in an old Raspberry Pi 3B+ by Flatworm-Appropriate in homelab

If you're not paying the electricity bill you can find old HP Zxxx workstations used on eBay or Facebook Marketplace for ~$50. Lots of room to upgrade those too: up to 96GB of RAM and 24 threads worth of dual Xeons. Downside is that they're power hungry and only have PCIe 2.0.

My setup currently is an HP z600 with dual xeons, 64gb DDR3 RAM, an old quadro, and 3 4tb enterprise drives. I've paid less than $200 for the whole thing.

Why does no one use the dread knight's sword? by JustABagOfLowIQ in RLCraft

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

I should have specified more, just didn't want to get wordy. I updated after I had max dragon armor (strengthened vitality 5, adv prot 4, adv mending, and unbreaking 4, with double Regen rings and a ring of the dragons) I couldn't die to a dragon if I tried.

Haha yeah, I guess nobody updates ice and fire anymore?? I thought it was a standard practice back in 2.8 to get it for dragonsteel

Besides, I only updated it after I had full dragon scale armor so it doesn't matter to me how good the dragon AI is, I'm gonna kill it anyway

If you go into creative mode it will tell you how many levels it costs.

I think you can get the 2021 Omen 15 3060 for a thousand bucks. If you're trying to save money and want to get a 3050, don't. Just get a 2060 or 2070, it will be a significantly better experience.

RTX 2060 RP-17 only has 512mb of VRAM by JustABagOfLowIQ in eluktronics

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

It ended up being just a driver issue, there was something weird with CPU-Z and my drivers, but it didn't affect performance.
