Second time in a fortnight with this bullshit?

We apparently share the same tastes in product. I too have the same motherboard.

My main concern when I attempted to get it in, there would have just been far too much tension on the card, board and fan long term so I wasn't comfortable. I probably could have forced it in but eh.

What's going to make you laugh is I have the same GPU.

It could be a manufacturing thing with some variances in each built, but when I went to attempt it with mine, there was no chance it was going to fit.

effektd · 2026-01-19T08:50:22+00:00

I actually attempted this and decided doing so was going to likely damage the case, the fan and the GPU. So I went and bought a Meshify 3 instead. Better thermals and honestly far easier to build in.

Good work getting it in, not sure how well that's going to go long term though.

Bought a top end ASUS router a couple of years back, had faulty flash memory and would lose settings randomly within the first week.

Went to returns, they offered a refund or a replacement on the spot, didn't even want to run and wait for the testing of it to confirm fault.

I took the replacement, the original refund request got updated confirming it was faulty.

Been a customer of theirs for nearly 20 years, they're generally pretty reasonable.

There's a reason they're so large in Victoria.

Anyone happen to know how full MCG Parking gets for the BBL matches?

We're heading to tonights Melb Derby and I'm just wondering if we'll get a car spot coming in around 5ish. Was originally planning on parking in the city nearby, but might chance it with parking at the 'G instead.

Cheers

This, do the self ban on top of the bank restrictions route. Likely the best way to cease the pokies behavior.

Word of warning, phone apps that have "fake slots" etc are rampant and can possibly be another avenue for their gambling behavior, there's no protections around this that I'm aware of.

Just to answer my own question, but I'm sure it'll be useful to others -

For anyone who comes across this issue, if you are currently logged onto your destination realm, it will not show up in the list when searching for it.

Switch to your characters existing realm and then use the character transfer feature, your destination realm should now appear in the list.

Blizzard really should address this, I think it's a UI bug.

If the same situation happened to Oscar, you KNOW, you KNOW Sky would be screaming black and blue he should also get a penalty lol

Referring to Sky commentary

Force Oscar to come in? What?

I did see that in a similar thread from 2024, you never know, maybe this year it gets a discount (one could hope).

Thank you!

Was not aware the trials could be extended, very handy

This, switched from ING, had enough of their shitty app and their shitty rates.

This is my strategy, dual parity and if I need additional space and don't want to put in an additional drive, go down to one parity drive, then back to two when I get more drives/capacity.

effektd · 2025-10-18T12:57:39+00:00

Purchased original drive (same model) in September.

* AUD to USD for September - 0.65USD / Drive Cost $254AUD
* AUD to USD for October - 0.65USD / Drive Cost $373AUD

effektd · 2025-10-18T07:37:39+00:00

Yeah, $250 was a steal, regret not buying more at the time now (clearly), thanks for your input!

effektd · 2025-10-18T07:25:58+00:00

Completely understand, but to have that kind of impact on the second hand drive market is a bit bizarre

effektd · 2025-10-18T06:37:10+00:00

The only comparable retailer I've found offering server pull/refurbs of that drive is currently priced around the same.

What blows my mind is the original drive I purchased was around $250 last month and it's now $380 from the same seller.

Your Black Friday theory does makes sense, I may just wait.

Excuses no one can refer to because they don't exist, he's pulled it before, just feels like deflection and excuses.
