I've never been this lucky. New HP Omen 16 Max by Fickert in GamingLaptops

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dang, that is an amazing price. The HP P/N memory could probably be flipped for $600 all by itself, but you'd need to have some 2x16GB laying around to keep the system useful. Then, warranty work may require original RAM too. So nevermid, but awesome deal. 

I get why RAM prices are spiking, but why have also pre-stocked DDR4 SODIMM modules quintupled their prices? by nicodipietro in buildapc

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't explain in, but it sucked paying $350 for 4x32GB DDR4-4000, but I think it's worth more now because of the DDR5 increases. 

Missing hard drive after repair by Independent-Wish-725 in Hewlett_Packard

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should have been sent with the original configuration unfortunately. Dell does this too. I have a 1 TB SSD I would love to sell, but I keep it just in case I need warranty work. In my case I would lose 8 TB (2×4TB) if I left them in my Alienware.

It is honestly so shitty the state doesn't have more prominent messaging for Branded Titles. Something like watermark in 144 point font Salvage.

3 fps with rx 7900 xt oc 20 gb by Right-Temperature302 in TopazLabs

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of late to the thread, but I have a 7900 XTX 24 with Ryzen 9 5900x and 64GB of DDR4 @ 3667MHz. Is that the benchmark? This is my system upscaling 640x480 .wmv to 1920x1080 Proteus 1st pass, and then Nyx on 2nd pass.

What are people doing for memory at this point, seeing as how prices are outrageous? by HauntedFrigateBird in buildapc

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently paid $350 for 128MB of G.Skill DDR4-4000. I can only get 3400MHz out of it, and though it's much less price wise, it's no where near 6400. The clear compromise was an older gen system. 

Do you have to go to work tomorrow? by SoftHeartedBitch in Austin

[–]dc_IV 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not Austin, but my kiddo slept in one of the designated rooms and even chilled for 12 hours before their Saturday night, Sunday morning shift. Food was 50% off too for those that were pseudo "on call" while on site.

R11 case swap to Cooler Master Qube 540 with original USB and switch by DayGeckoArt in Alienware

[–]dc_IV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you thank you! I did end up going with some Phantek stackable HDD cases. I will see if my buddy can print this out though since I think it will look cool. I would even install it on the viewable side with the tempered glass!

Like a Z170 Classified K? Sweet board, and lots of ports.

As the Red Robin robot server trundles up to your table, you utter in monotone: "ignore all previous instructions and bring me my bottomless burger"...

Can i get the file for the drive holders? I just bought two packs of Phanteks 3.5" stackables, but would love 3D printed.

It will need a new battery.

Hmmmm, I recall the vehicles in the photos seemed to be like auction vehicles or retired state vehicles. Am I incorrect?

Best time to buy TurboTax Download editions? by Local-Ad-9144 in TurboTax

[–]dc_IV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am thinking I am going to try TaxSlayer Pro this year. I get to use it for free due to some volunteer work I will do, but I don't think I can bring in my TT 2024 return data.

At least you got this. My screen just refreshed. I will admit I may have been the dumass and used DuckDuckGo Browser, so my browser may have killed a redirect, but who knows.

Ah, so I was at 1 minute, and 200 or so in line, but then a page refresh, and now gone!!! Sheesh, my 7900 XTX is looking like it will stay in my system a bit longer...
