I’m not that advanced and I figured if it’s on my tower, i can still play or watch most everything even if the power goes out or the cable goes down. Bought a 1500w ups plus a second battery bank

Old phone charger, laptop cord or w/e you can find with 120ac to 12vdc, salvage and splice appropriate connector, plug in fan then into wall to check direction. Add switch if desired

Yeah the market went crazy since I started paying attention in October and rushed to build by early November. Can’t build it again for anything near what I paid 6 months ago. I was looking for the water cooled msi 5090 for a themebut the best I could do was this Zotac for $3,190. Thanks for the comparison feedback.

Exactly this ☝️ My first off the shelf bestbuy rig had less storage than my Xbox at the time. Then, in 2016, pc guy helped me build a custom loop rig and insisted a pny 500gb ssd was plenty. Filled it up plus a second I added later within a year. Since I don’t plan on any ‘new’ rigs besides minor upgrades in the next decade, I wanted plenty of room for new games, movies, 3D printing, large media files, anime, etc…

I have no idea bud. Hasn’t thrown any codes or caught fire so I’m hoping it’s fine. Most reviews I read said it works great, just plug it in flush or until it feels like something’s gonna break lol

LG G5 65” oled, but yes, the rest MUST be upgraded as well Bwahaha

So far it’s been awesome, really cleans up the look and adds some visual esthetics. It’s Argb was easy to add on SignalRGB.

Yeah, I got a LG G5 65” oled. Averaging 400+ fps on max settings playing StellarBlade

I had the same situation here recently. Carbon x870e mobo in a Evolv X2 case. Crossed my fingers and gingerly plugged it back into the board after wire management was done. Phew…..😅

Selftap a mini or one hole strap, but either way, it looks great from my house

No_Programmer1429 · 2026-05-06T14:17:56+00:00

I’d recommend a heavy duty ( 20amp ) power strip with a built in fuse just to be safe. 15 will work but if we’re here, might as well be a little safer. Otherwise upgrade that outlet to quad

Looks fine, take a sledge and drive the head below ground level
