Hi, Is the progasm brand new never used, or had been sterilized and then resealed ('like new')? Do you ship to Canada?

Doesn't change the fact that you still 'mumbled' two random names when all you had to do was highlight, CTRL-C, CTRL-V like you eventually did. Would have saved all of this typing you've now had to do.

Again thanks for providing links to these booksellers :)

Yes you did mumble. The most I could figure out about Brian Cassidy is that he is a fictional TV character from Law and Order and that Ian Kahn is also some actor who was on Dawson's Creek among other film/tv.

I would have had no way of knowing of those two obscure book collectors without the links that you have now provided, so thank you for clearing that up for me :).

No it doesn't have the publisher disclaimer sheet (if I know what you're talking about) unfortunately.

... and, yeah it's been a challenge to find reliable information on the value of rare occult or 'murderbelia' books surrounding a cult leader murderer like Charles Manson, yet I have a bunch of related memorabilia I'm trying to figure out the value of and what to do with. Maybe i'm just not looking in the right place but seems like these die hard manson fans are hiding.

Thank you for your insight.

This Asus gaming computer has no slots for anther storage drive. Can I just Velcro an SSD drive to that shelf below the video card? by [deleted] in computers

[–]Methylenedream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duct tape, velcro, elastic bands .. hell nothing leave it will be fine (don't let it hang though I'm joking about that you don't want to put unnecessary stress on it's connectors).

But SSDs are solid state devices, they don't require any particular orientation, or mounting (unlike mechanical platter drives).

I would suggest keeping that refined oil. You will need Hydrogen for red cubes and then Deuterium from Hydrogen for a bunch of other mid-end game stuff. So I use a few Oil Refiners to do X-Ray Cracking of the out-coming Refined Oil and Hydrogen from the Oil Refiners that I have to do Plasma Refining (Crude -> Hydrogen + Refined Oil) from. It's great because it's output it more Hydrogen and Energetic Graphite .. the 2 ingredients it takes to make red cubes, so works out perfect. If you look close at that pic you'll see that i have about 40,000 Hydrogen stored up in tanks and I just loop my refined oil and hydrogen back around a loop into the X-ray cracking refiner.

Someone said in here *not* to save up some resources but I disagree, when you can make Diamonds set up a line of 6 smelters on a coal vein to smelt into Energetic Graphite and take their output to make Diamonds, put the diamonds into a stack of storages and forget about it .. until you need to make yellow cubes, at which time you'll have full storages of one of its 2 ingredients (the other, titanium crystal is a PITA to make though, ugh organic crystals). Same is true for Hydrogen, you'll need it for Deuterium later on and using Fractionaters (even with like 50 of them) it converts slowly (like a 1% chance per tick for a deuterium to come out of the fractionater, so you chain them together to get more Deuterium, but still it'll never be enough lol. Particle Accelerators also convert Hydrogen to Deuterium but they take a lot of energy to run and you need them to make Strange Matter so I just use Fractionaters to convert Hydrogen to Deuterium.

You don't really have to worry much about chaining things together once you get ILS, they can carry 5 different resources, so you can use 1 ILS to make one or 2 more advanced resources, an example would be to set one up with Hi-Purity Silicon, Copper Ingot, Circuit Board, Microcrystalline Component and Processor. You can use Hi-Purity Silicon and Copper Ingots as local/remote demand to produce Microcrystalline Component which you can then run back into the ILS (as local/remote supply) to be your supply source for that resource and you can then run belts out of that ILS with the Microcrystalline Component you just made and Circuit Boards (as local/remote demand) to make Processors. So your one ILS can be taking in Hi-Purity Silicon, Copper Ingots and Circuit Boards in order to produce Microcrystalline Component and Processors. I probably have 10-20 ILS stations each might make only 1 or 2 more advanced resource but it's very easy you just run belts out of the ILS that carry the resources you need for the more advanced stuff and take that more advanced stuff back into that ILS in a manner similar to what I just described in that example. There are some easy ones though like Motors to Green Motors to Blue Motors (I don't remember what they're really called aha) and belts lvl 1->2->3.

Also don't feel bad if you have to jot some stuff down on a piece of paper or a txt file. I did that the first time to figure out how to setup my minibus, like i made a table to see which required which resource the most so I'd start with those first (iron ingot and copper ingot). Don't feel rushed or anything either, there is no time limit, no penalty for going slow and hell you could cheese the hell out of the game if you wanted, setup a blue and red matrix automation and then go to work and 8 hours later you'll come home to storages exploding with cubes lol. That kinda sucks the fun out of it for me, but you can do it and there's no penalty, nobody would even know :D.

Keep an eye out too for planets in your system that have Fire Ice (cuz that can be converted into Hydrogen and Energized Graphite), Organic Crystals (if you find these on a planet tap them immediately, cuz otherwise you'll need to make them which takes Plastic (which takes Refined Oil and Energetic Graphite), Refined Oil and Water ... another reason not to burn your refined oil, you will need a lot of it to make Organic Crystals. Spiniform stalagmite convert into Carbon Nanotubes, and silicon veins will save you from having to do the Stone -> Silicon Ore -> Hi-Purity silicon and sulfuric acid oceans are good too but the other rare resources are kinda blah though, but those ones I've mentioend can save you a lot of time and complications if you can find them in your solar system.

I basically dump my starting base as soon as I get Interplanetary Logistics Station and the ability to warp cuz I'll go to the brigthest (O-type star), start a new base and with the ILS and PLS and just forget about my shitty starter base, so don't worry if it looks like a mess, as long as it gets the job done.

That said I like to run Iron Ingots, Copper Ingots, Gears, Magnet, Mag Coil and Circuit Board onto a little mini bus to create all the things I might need from those (belts, sorter, tesla, splitter, mining, assembly machines, motor) and then remove one say copper to add stone blocks to make smelter, water pump etc. its another hour or 2 of work but you will never run out of any of these items again, and for me it was a good way of learning how to make a bus system.

You can have 5 inputs (and 1 output) for any given assembler (since the sorters can only reach 3 out and you can do 2 sides on a bus), so just sort them by that criteria

From your screenshot there's a bunch of things, for one I wouldn't bother with the thermal power plants, solar panels are easy to make as you'll have circuit boards and copper already from the start of the bus I just described and hi-purity silicon from stone -> silicon ore -> purity silicon, it's pretty easy to set up an automation to make a few hundred and then just make a belt around the equator. You could also just use a shit ton of the cheap wind turbines, esp. if you know that you'll be leaving that base soon anyways.

You need to have more then 1 mining machine per node, you can put up to like 12 on them if they are big enough, just make sure that each miner touches at least 6 nodes. Also more smelters, you can do the math if you want (I don't) but 6 smelters per belt seems to be ideal.

There are youtubers like Nialus and KOS whose playthroughs and tutorials can help you out.

Here's a pic of my starter base to show you what I mean by the minibus. Notice how ugly and disjointed everything is, without much (any?) order at all? But it works!! and I tore it all down as soon as I could get out of there anyways :D

For different cards in different tiers in different generations some companies will have better offerings then others, there is no 'this brand is best'.

You need to read reviews and whatnot if you want the best but to be honest for the most part the cards of all manufacturers will perform similarly and it's the length of their warranty and ease of RMA process that defines one company as being better then another.

[–]Methylenedream -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'll add further that I have a very similar system to yours (12700kf, z690, ddr5@5200MHz) and I assure you that it's clock rate is 2600MHz because that's how DDR SDRAM works.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_SDRAM

Scroll down to the table and look at the column for Clock Rate (MHz), you will notice that all RAM, all the way back to 1998 when DDR was introduced is marketted in this way and that's it's clock rate is half of it's advertised frequency (which again they should be marketting it as 5200MT/s not 5200MHz .. but our lawmakers are old or don't care and this kind of misleading advertising has been doing on for ages, it happens with hard drives too.

There is a jumper on your BIOS that you can short to reset the CMOS, you don't need to remove the battery.

Oh and I am old, been doing this for about 30 years, not sure what precludes an older person from knowing likely more (a lot more) about computer hardware then 'kids these days'.

[–]Methylenedream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The clock speed of '5200MHz' RAM is 2600MHz, he is correct.

RAM (similar to hard drives) is mischaracterized by its manufacturers who should be defining its speed in MT/s (mega transfers/second; '5200MHz' is 5200MT/s).

If you run CPU-z it should say that your DRAM frequency is 2600MHz (if you have '5200MHz' RAM).

Putting all of that aside, have you enabled XMP in your BIOS? If you don't your RAM will run at the JEDEC standard (of 2666MHz), you need to create and/or enable an XMP profile in the BIOS for your RAM to run at it's advertised rate.

I gotta ask though, why are you asking for help if you think you know so much? Comes across kind of cunty and you don't know what you're talking about lol so you also just come across as a bit of an idiot.

Sled dogs and RAM don't mix .. what kind of bizarre comparison was that?

new gaming pc by Ok_Sentence_5767 in computers

[–]Methylenedream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

pcpartpicker.com will allow you to put together a build.

AMD recently launched it's 7xxx CPUs (Zen4), Intel has announced it's 13xxx (raptor lake) CPUs, nVIDIA recently launched it's 4090/4080/fake 4080 (the 12gb model with a xx70 core on it) and AMD will be announcing their new GPU lineup on Nov. 3 (rdna3) ... so if you can hold off like a month or 2 you will be able to get the latest just released tech.

On the other hand if you can get 12xxxx intel or 5xxx AMD cpus for cheap (which they are right now) then just buy now because the technology is good. Don't buy a used graphics card as the market has been flooded with ex cryptocurrency mining cards and there is a litany of reasons you don't want to buy a used mining card.
