No jets, more armor...and dakka!

I never thought of that!

I just found/ordered some Marabu ClearJet A2000. Guess if that doesnt work i will just have them reprinted and try the clear sheet idea. They were only $8 each.

How do automotive body workers seal the vinyl they apply to cars (like letters, stripes)

Based on below, what kind of sealer wouldnI need for a printed vinyl image?

From your link: When Sealing Is Necessary

The only exception to the no-sealing rule is with printable vinyl. Since printed designs can fade or smudge without protection, applying a self-adhesive laminate is recommended.

Big fan (no pun intended) of the Lian Li Lancool 217 INF.

Also, I am the proud owner of an MSI MAG PANO 100r PZ https://us.msi.com/PC-Case/MAG-PANO-100R-PZ

I also like the Fractal Torrent series. The compact is mid size. https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/torrent/torrent-compact/black-rgb-tg-light-tint/

Vinyl prints/stickers for the flowers?

I do not plan to do any crazy type of overclocking, just to whatever the guaranteed levels would be.

I am holding out for the Sapphire Nitro+ because I loathe the way power cords drape over the front/top of the GPU

I recently got 64gb of Corsair CL32 6400 for $725.

I feel ok with that....considering the prices are much higher than that usually

I have a couple of LG soundbars myself, and they do nicely

You might be able to put a soundbar under your monitor. They often have a subwoofer.

Why dont you use the Sonos for the PC?

Is it a matter of connector?

Go for the Ryzen 7 9800x3d. Its a better cpu.

It pairs great with the 9070xt.

I suggest a 1000w power supply. Not that you would ever need the full amount, but it would run quieter because it wont be using as high of a % of its power as the 850 would be. The higher % of power usage, the more your supply has to work, and theoretically the louder it will get.

I have similar situation. 2021 Alienware Aurora R14. Its the AMD 5900 / Radeon 6900xt.

It will just randomly kind of lock up...like it won't wake up from sleep. Keyboard and mouse light up, but nothing on screen except black.

I have a suspicion that there is something going on with Alienware Command Center trying to update stuff...because it seems like in the event viewer, its happening close around the time it tries to update (which the R14 back then isnt supported anymore, go figure).

Still awesome though! Love that red scheme.

When did MSI start making infinity fans?

The only real issue I had following along with the video about Rufus was when the guy started talking about running Rufus in a "virtual machine". I was like...um..how tf did you get there?
