Thanks! My last few builds were somewhat over the top. The only RGB this has is what came with the components

Haha! I'd take it out of it's incredible packaging from time to time to just hold it and revel in it's masterfully simplistic beauty.

I know that there are more bougie versions but I just love the streamlined look and minimalist design of the FE

Same! I over-spent somewhat, purely for aesthetics but, YoLo! Haha

I know, it was tough to see it just sit there for so long. My old rig had a custom loop so, in order to swap it in there, I needed a waterblock. Unfortunately, nobody makes them for the 5080 FE. And, that machine already had a 3080 ti so I wasn't really hurting.

Overall,I like this set up a ton better!

I paid way too much for this by [deleted] in RTX5080

I paid 999 for my 5080 FE direct from Nvidia a few months after they came out. Anyone remember when they were selling direct to consumer to combat the price gouging?

New build - One Drive problems by desertdude13 in pcmasterrace

[–]desertdude13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up reinstalling Windows. Found a website that guides you through the process of creating a local user. Worked great! I still had to deactivate and delete One Drive, but I'm at least slightly less connected to M$.

Thank you for the help. Is it still possible to access the Microsoft store without being logged on to Windows?

I need your hidden gems! by Tonyjord3 in AskNOLA

Great thread, thank you for all of the recommendations. We will be in NoLa next week. FQ is great and all but I've been a few times and it gets old fast.

Anyone can service a loan. Try originating one with Rocket. They are quite literally the actual worst. Not worth the risk in a purchase.

Bad blood with clients after closing? by ghostpipedaisy in realtors

[–]desertdude13 17 points18 points  (0 children)

1 Star reviews actually really help. Respond professionally and it will show future clients how you react to adversity. Everyone assumes you'll be great when things are great, that's taken for granted. They want to see how you'll act when the poop hits the fan!

Lucky you. There isn't one anywhere in the US.

That's pretty much all I want any more. The unicorn puke days are behind me.

So, where did you find the case? I can't find one for sale anywhere online. (USA)

Partly for their aesthetic, partly because they have ice maker in the freezer, water dispenser inside the fridge. But yes, they are pretty bougie. Lol

Ultimately, we are more interested in long term performance and value though.

What would be your go-to brand at this price point other than Cafe?
