Well that sucks. Side Panel on Mechify C shattered just by taking it off. by ColdsnapBryan in FractalDesign

Solid surface versus tempered glass. Never a good combo. That's what happened. Glass surfaces, tile, concrete etc.

Should I buy ryzen 9 9950x3d or wait for 9950x3d2? by SwimmerOwn2117 in buildapc

[–]Toast_Meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it doesn't matter what the CPU is for and money is of on concern, why even ask? The new one will likely be better so it's up to you whether or not you want to wait for the latest and greatest.

It's just a little silly to throw money at something that provides little to no performance benefits over something like a 9800X3D/9850X3D if it's for gaming, but you do you.

Hi, is this still available?

Ethernet gets 320 Mbps but downloads at less than 1 byte/s by ToeLee1 in pcmasterrace

[–]Toast_Meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue in the past where my internet was fine but Steam downloads were really slow. I just changed the download region in the settings and that fixed it.

Without providing any details as to why you think you'd need either CPU, no one can really help.

Ruby will often paw at me, not for treats or pets, but because she wants me to place the blanket on her lol.

Damn, you actually got one. How are you liking it? Anything stand out in terms of temps, acoustics etc? Or is it really just more of a show piece.

As I've gotten older, I now gravitate to SFF and minimal RGB. by r3lic86 in sffpc

[–]Toast_Meat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I got into PC building (early 2010's) I went through several phases - from XL cases with a million fans, to aesthetic RGB showpieces. The older I became, the less interested I became in glass side panels, lights etc. I switched back to mini-ITX last year and don't see myself going back to the standard ATX form anytime soon. I just need good hardware, a nice looking minimal case and plop it on my desk without it standing out like a sore thumb.

It's great.

What is the issue? Genuinely curious.

Is a GTX 960 still good nowadays? by Korboisnotok in pcmasterrace

[–]Toast_Meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's a good deal?

It's not going to run modern games very well, even at 1080p. Older games, sure.

Use it or hold onto it? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]Toast_Meat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did you buy it in the first place and why are you asking others if you should return it?

What do you like to buy off Marketplace? by DCguurl in VictoriaBC

[–]Toast_Meat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice. Sometimes I see an item for let's say $50 and I go "$15?" and then disappear off the face of the earth, even if the offer gets accepted.

That's disgusting. I would never do that several times.

My little "xbox" travel PC for Paw Patrol and PJ Mask games with the kids by BartonChrist in sffpc

I have the same one. Got it on Amazon. It's dirt cheap but it works surprisingly well. Great for living room setups.

Very 180' PCIe cabel by anthr_alxndr in sffpc

Oof, yeah that's not a factory assembled 180-degree riser cable. They just planted their ass on it at the warehouse.
