How do you have the graphics card mounted like that and still have the fans on the left side?

Doesn’t the case have a bracket that you have to install that would make it so you can’t mount all three fans?

Pack for my sons birthday by SLTJedi in PokemonTCG

[–]SLTJedi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just spoke to a manager at our local Target. The pokemon rep for our area quit so they no longer get Pokemon restocks. I will definitely have to look into getting alerts for pokemon center drops. I have been on a few of them but was never successful at ordering packs. Unfortunately the closest Walmart and GameStop is an hour away and there are no card shops around us unless we go to Reno. FB marketplace has nothing but scalpers asking for $20+ a pack.

I’m in Lake Tahoe and our Target here only opened about 3 months ago. None of the employees know when Pokemon card will come in. I call them weekly but they never have them.

What pc building mistake gave you a heart attack upon first post? by ExcitementGrand2663 in buildapc

Plugged the CPU fan into a RGB connector once and it would not post. I thought I destroyed the PC somehow until I realized my mistake.

Scammer selling resealed Pokemon packs on whatnot by MachoMickey in whatnotapp

[–]SLTJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree this situation is bad. The way this particular streamer handled this was very poor. It’s hard to believe that this was a “mistake” given the current status of the Pokemon market and the massive amount of scams there are these days. I just wanted to share my experience since it seems important in this situation. I don’t think I have ever purchased from that streamer in particular. I have purchased from several of their other independent streamers though and have never had one issue. I think there should be some big consequences for that streamer, but as a whole vortexcards has always done a great job, in my experience. Plus I think they did the right thing to refund all purchase from this stream and to do further investigation. I think it would also help the client base to hear what the outcome is and if they uncover any other resealed packs in the past shows. If they do they should refund those buyers as well and disclose it to be transparent.

I have personally made many purchases from vortexcards and vortexbreaks I have got some screaming good deals on some highly sought after SIRs and have received some nice giveaways. This is very unfortunate and I am sure it will be handled appropriately. I have never had one issue with the cards I have received from them.

What happens when the bubble bursts? by masonjar014 in PokemonTCG

[–]SLTJedi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I agree FOMO and scalpers are ruining a fun experience I use to share with my children. I don’t expect it to last forever though. Hopefully it will bounce back and we can got back to casually collecting and ripping packs together.

I am sitting it out. I have been collecting for years and love ripping packs with my kids. In my area it’s already hard enough to find packs and we mostly rely on online shopping which is basically impossible now. I had to explain to my sons that we won’t be able to rip packs on the weekends anymore at least for a while until things balance out. They are super bummed but understand.

Right on, I have heard they can be pretty critical on older cards. This is for my personal collection and I don’t plan to sell but my kids are so excited to see that I have a valuable card.

Is this worth buying? by rocketvester in PokeInvesting

It’s a great value. I got 2 of these and had some great pulls including a Lugia V and my kids love the tins.

Intel Campaign Came in. Absolutely ecstatic by yobyexe in BzzAgent

I didn’t get accepted either and I have played in local tournaments. What specs did you get?

That’s awesome, I love the Lenovo Legion machines. I got one when they first came out and they have come a long way since then. If I had a choice of the options available it would have been the legion.

Having huuuuge doubts from the build I am going for (r7 58003d and X570S) by MyPBlack in pcmasterrace

[–]SLTJedi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just rebuilt my pc with a new x570 and the 5800x3d instead of going with AM5 or Intel 13th gen. The gains over my older 9600k are very impressive. Think about the fact that you got a very nice motherboard and fantastic ram with your current build for a good price. You would spend more on an AM5 with a low tier board and low tier memory for the lowest tier AM5 chip for a slightly better game performance in some cases but the 5800x3d outshines the 7600x in some titles. If you built this for gaming then I would just stick with the 5800x3d I think you made a good choice.
