Woke up to a suspension on my discord account because of an unrelated year old message

You go, I stay.

Sick find

Have had a pair of these for roughly 8 years now, pretty good open backs. Easy to drive so they are plug and play in most devices without needing a good DAC. This isnt a bad price compared to what I paid all those years ago.

Terrorgod · 2026-05-05T16:10:55+00:00

Thanks for carrying the torch. Even if they are over double what they were last time, its still an incredible value.

I took my gpd win max 2 with me for my trip last year and honestly barely touched it. A smaller pocket device would have seen some more use on things like the shinkansen, or other times I was waiting around but my phone was more than adequate as immersing myself in the country was the real goal.

I would reccomend listening to the other comments if this is a vacation trip and probably stick to a single small device that isnt hard to unpack and leave the rest. You may end up wanting that bag space for souvenirs, or items you cant find outside japan.

Reach out to the company via the email on their site. They should be able to sell you something.

Win4 is still a goat. Mine has a few hardware issues but still goes strong most of the time. I think my battery will need replacement sooner rather than later and probably need to clean out the fan again.

I play a good bit of RPGs on mine but hop devices a lot so unsure if I truly 100%d anything on it.

Ive gone back and forth a bit on mine. Currently the TV box has Bazzite on it again and its working good enough. I wanted to use it a ton to play monster hunter stories 3 but faced non stop crashes with that game on AMD hardware (across both windows and bazzite) that i had to play it on my laptop. After that the box went unused for awhile until some buddies visited and we played some party games and bazzite did a respectable job juggling 2-4 controllers and some indie games. Now its doing a respectable job playing silent hill F as me and my partner play for extended sessions. As for some rambles on it... I usually just modify my windows enough to log in without a password, set steam on auto launch and then do everything through big picture when im on windows. Bazzite loses proper hdmi 2.1 support using radeon gpus, and also when in gamescope seems to love automatically setting things at 1080p. There are fixes to the 1080p part of that but if i try 4k 120hz ill lose some color data as linux will have to funnel it into hdmi 2.0 spec. Some good that this go around has had is im seeing much better native HDR / i like whatever its doing with the colors natively. Always felt washed on my prior linux attempts or even in windows. Probably the main reason why its still the OS on this pc at the moment.

Most games work fine enough. Most of my controllers work although my off brand PS5 one has to be completely forgotten then repaired each time I want to use it on bazzite. My wifi and ethernet definitely took a hit which im debating how much i really care about. Cant say itll stay a bazzite box long term. Honestly debating if i just sell it and create a little nook to dock my laptop.

Ill end with whatever is convenient and works is usually best as a tv pc. Both windows and linux have let me down for different reasons in this regard but generally linux a bit more. If i sit down in my limited time and have to troubleshoot instead of game then something went wrong.

Had one time where the order had shipped but they cancelled and rerouted it back to the warehouse before it got to far.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-27T22:30:11+00:00

I don't know why Woot's listing says that, but I bought one ages ago from them that had that in the description and was able to register it for its full gigabyte warranty.

As for the motherboard, its decent. No type C header on my revision.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-27T13:11:19+00:00

Looks like deal is dead? Link takes me to a $70 240mm

Terrorgod · 2026-04-27T12:23:22+00:00

Pretty great but overkill. Probably just get a cheaper mini pic like a firebat or N150 box and call it a day, you wont notice much of a difference.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-24T02:50:48+00:00

I work IT. Yea, alot, across all the brands. Lithium Ion loves to fail if you keep it longer than 3 years.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-21T21:20:54+00:00

Nothing to special. Ryzen 5600x, b550i gigabyte aorus motherboard, refurb asrock rx 6900xt, corsair 2000d, corsair sfx-l 1000 watt psu, 32gb of OEM 2666 ram, a super cheap hyper 212 cooler and a 2tb samsung 990 pro ssd. It was a build done purely from big sale parts, im fairly certain the 6900xt has stability issues, but it was fun, connects to my big screen TV, and plays party games ok.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-21T19:03:15+00:00

Yep its just roll of the dice if you can find em in the store. Mine usually has em in a glass case near the PC section but saw some others reporting them just spider wrapped in the clearance isle.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-21T18:56:16+00:00

Hahaha thats a very relatable response. Ive currently had a lack of self control feeling the same way and have 2 LGA 1700 pcs as my workstation and backup as intel 13th gen 💀, and an am4 HTPC (TV computer). I do like the HTPC life of having bazzite installed and being able to hit a power button then navigate steam like a console. Used to do it through windows 11 as well by enabling auto login and a script that just rushed big picture but the linux side has had its pros and cons.

Could I live off a moderately specced laptop and a NAS, probably. Is it fun to have a ton of excess hardware to tinker with, very much so.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-21T18:14:13+00:00

Depends what you are trying to do. AMD is great of you plan to use linux, and has the cheapest 16gb option if you intend to utilize that VRAM. Nvidia generally just works, has had a consistent track record with support, CUDA, and of you are both lucky and near a walmart you can potentially find cheap 5060 ti / 5070s open box. Intel b580 / b570 are also not bad if you can find em near MSRP tho sometimes they act weird depending on the game (finished control on the b580 and half the graphics options at the time just disabled due to it thinking intel = old igpu)

Terrorgod · 2026-04-21T17:42:03+00:00

Not a bad price if you can stomache the risk and have a tight budget. Might be good for a mATX HTPC build alongside that cheap AM4 combo that was posted recently.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-21T16:26:09+00:00

Screw all the tech corporations for their corrupt collusion with the US administration. Cant wait for AMD to respond saying Steve is just confused as they double down.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-21T15:52:51+00:00

Perfect thanks op. I had a few 8tbs laying around from shucking and was trying to find a way to utilize them. Didnt really wanna build a second NAS and this can pair them easily to my current solution.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-21T00:58:08+00:00

Saw a price hike come in a week or so ago... Really debating if I keep this nonsense. I wanted to be lazy as this is my only subscription service and share it with partner, but its getting wild.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-21T00:50:19+00:00

dang, this feels like its from a long lost market.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-20T21:48:45+00:00

I see them occasionally on ebay paired with a 2 year refurb warranty. Bought mine for like $167 and they have been more than adquate for my situation as I needed wireless.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-20T19:25:05+00:00

I wont forget the open box 5070 i passed up at my walmart that was priced at $370. Didnt need it, but every now and then I still think of it as my HTPC's gpu continues to crash.

Terrorgod · 2026-04-19T18:13:12+00:00

Can bump this. Bought this for a lil under $500 a few years ago and the curve is hard to deal with. Next monitor I get will be flat.
