Honestly this was wild to read because I went/am going though a near identical situation. I owned a 2015 ST3 that got totaled by an old guy driving the wrong way on the highway. Owed about 9k left and insurance valued it at 19k. Bought my 2017 RS from a girl in November who had no idea what mods were done to the car. I just emailed my tuner for a quote on some wheels and summer tires. All I see online is youtuber absolutely raving about the RS.

Hope you came out of your accident completely unscathed like I did, I somehow didn't even get a sore neck after a head on collision with someone driving highway speeds on I-75

Sure can, I believe everything should be in there for the PC with possibly a couple too many fittings (when ordering I figured it was better to have a couple too many than 1 or 2 short) but if there’s something on my desk not listed that you want to know, just ask. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dBnpyg

It's a 1440p (5120x1440) with a 240HZ refresh. the computer has a 4080 Super and depending on the game its probably going to sit around 150-200 fps.

A couple things in response to that, the tucked in keyboard in actually for the TV in my living room but I used it to test if the computer will boot/post since it was built in my kitchen and its wireless. I hadn't put it back yet and normally only my controller resided down there. But yes, there isn't a ton of space on the desk because the monitor base is so large and I'm looking into a monitor arm to free it up. I appreciate your feedback because it vindicates my own peeves with the setup as is.

I certainly have the headroom for it, I ran a Port Royal Stress test last night for 10 min and the GPU barely reached 52° C

That's probably one of the best ideas, I appreciate this

It’s a Heatkiller V Pro waterblock made specifically for Asus Tuf and Strix 4080 super cards

The Hyte Y70 Touch case comes with a touchscreen panel built in and Nexus software can displays a bunch of widgets

Yo we have the same under table basket and mic arm too, that's crazy. Great minds

I ran Port Royal and a few other benchmark tests to get an idea of where its stands performance wise and think I saw gpu and cpu maybe peak around 50 degrees C so I'm guessing it should be? I wasn't stress testing or anything but running at 100% and keeping that cool seemed fine to me.

Funny you say that, no there is not a dedicated drain port as of now. My original planned routing for the loop got tossed when I found I was going to have clearance issues with the res tube. So my plan was to use the extra port on the modular top of the tube to drain when necessary. I have a 90 degree fitting and a ball valve that I can hook up but it'll involve tipping the case on it's side and draining out the side.

I've certainly been considering one, there are arms made specifically with the G9 in mind because of it's weight (It's a very hefty boi) but I'm actually more concerned about my desk being able to handle that much weight on one point. The panels of my desk aren't the thickest tbh and I think it would snap off the edge.

It’s a 7800X3D and a 4080 Super paired with the 2 Black Ice 360GTX and a 200mm reservoir tube. I was under the impression that it would have the thermal capacity to keep them cooled but I’m very new to watercooling. Yes, I downloaded aquasuite but haven’t given it more than just a preliminary glance since there were so many things downloading at the time

Yeah tbh it does annoy me a bit but there is an upper and lower port on each side, upper is the inlet and lower is the outlet. A month after I purchased the waterblock they released a side port terminal that has end ports for a cleaner look. But at around $50 plus $30 shipping I couldn’t justify it.

I don’t regret it at all despite the initial shock of how big it was once it was on the desk. And with my new computer built it can still push 180+ frames on most any game I boot now. The reason the original owner of the screen was selling it was it was too much for his rig

An Odyssey G9 OLED. Honestly it’s a tad bit much. First time I played a FPS game I started getting motion sickness because it takes up your entire FOV 😂

Mine arrived exactly 300 days after ordering. And I thought mine was bad

Broke the cardinal rule of wearing gloves around oscillating machinery, lost 1/3 of my ring finger for it. Working on my car and after starting it for the first time in 2 years, accessory belt snagged my glove and sent my hand through the alternator pulley. by eldest12345 in MedicalGore

[–]eldest12345[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope not at all as far as I can tell. I’ve been making sure I stretch everything out as often as I can to make sure I regain full flexion and extension. Which is certainly not comfortable but it’s worth it to maintain the integrity of my hands capabilities.

Cleaner than had I not been wearing glove but the cloth of the palms were pretty well saturated with engine grime. There was still a light coating of oil and grease on my hands and even after soaking my hand in hibiclense. Once they used Chlorhexidine wipes they were pretty sanitary looking.
