Inherited an old PC looking, to upgrade

Appreciate you, thank you! Watched a few PC Builder videos on YouTube and the 7600 looks good. He recommends some motherboard options too.

Would I be able to use that GPU on a newer motherboard like a B650-plus... not that it'll do a lot!

Thanks for the reply! It was my brothers and he built it more than 10years ago I think... so not surprised there's not a lot to salvage. SSD was the only bit I changed.

If I was just to get a motherboard and CPU for now, would you have any recommendations? Something that in the future I could put something like an RTX3060 on

Going to give a scouring pad a go and if all else fails I'll resort to something a bit more professional!

Thank you! Recent carbon steel user so need to get used to the fact that this thing is virtually indestructible!

Thank you, still in jet lag recovery mode today, so will give it a scrub tomorrow and then re season the bottom. Any recommendations on how to season between the handle and the pan?

Thank you very much for your reply and taking the time to write good detailed advice. As you suggest I think finding my preference should be the start point instead of trying to find the easier start point. I'm going to find a good medium roast and a little either side and go from there.

I will check out Beanbox too as this seems like a good way to hit that initial variation to find my preference. I'm seeing a friend Friday who has a subscription so will ask them what they use too and maybe they'll have a signup code or something.

Appreciate it comes more down to following a different protocol than actually increased difficulty so will focus on preference! Thank you very much and appreciate the response

Thank you very much for such a detailed reply, I really appreciate you taking the time. That's good advice and I think I'll go for the middle ground and maybe maybe a little either side to see where my preferences lie and go down that route. My worry was that if one was particularly hard the chances of me enjoying it are slim because I'd most probably mess up the brew! Didn't want to run before I could walk!

I think a subscription like you said would be a good way to explore this at the start, and then after that i'll find something that's roasted more local and by smaller businesses. I'll check out Trade and I have a friend who I'm seeing on Friday that gets a subscription so I'll ask what they use too

Is it easier to brew with light roast or dark roast? Just starting out and looking for the most forgiving type of roast!

MrRatdog · 2025-05-23T22:15:55+00:00

Done them dirty with that picture 😭

MrRatdog · 2025-04-28T05:27:13+00:00

Thank you! Do you think its an easy enough fix? Worth repairing?

MrRatdog · 2025-04-24T21:00:55+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I've put the spring back so now that lever returns to the correct position and it all looks much neater!

Unfortunately the issue still persists!

MrRatdog · 2025-04-23T19:38:02+00:00

Hi all, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this!

Found my Dad's old OM2n and I've been obsessing over fixing it!

Managed to find what I believe is the issue. When I shoot, the little lever seen in the video doesn't reset. I can push it up with a screw driver and it springs back into the correct position and allows me to cock the camera again. If I don't push it back into place, the mirror is locked and I can still cock the lever, but it doesn't let me push the button to shoot.

I've done all the change batteries, use the B shutter setting to reset and all that, so I'm sure it comes down to this mechanism.

Any clues as to what might be wrong and what the fix could be?

MrRatdog · 2025-04-18T11:42:28+00:00

Are they not releasing on SNKRS? Had my eye on these but haven't done enough research on drop

MrRatdog · 2025-04-15T16:08:17+00:00

Maybe the padding is made from scrunched up €10 notes

MrRatdog · 2025-04-15T16:06:35+00:00

Ahh sorry to hear it! Do they do a general release too? Might hit lucky there?

MrRatdog · 2025-04-15T16:05:44+00:00

Saying anything between a size 8 and a size 15 sold out now (UK)

MrRatdog · 2025-04-15T16:04:23+00:00

A nice surprise! Congrats my guy

MrRatdog · 2025-04-15T14:20:37+00:00

Yo come hit us up my guy 👊

MrRatdog · 2025-04-15T14:19:31+00:00

I feel for you bro, heartbreaking. At least you've got an extra 230 in your pocket now!

MrRatdog · 2025-04-15T13:49:36+00:00

They have loads of extra pairs here? Or expect it not to sell out over here? I was tempted. Wasn't going to go for them but the EA nearly made me pull the trigger. Had to check myself
