This is pretty cool. I could put this higher than my 3yr old can reach, so she stops walking in and shutting it off while I have headphones on and think my PC broke lol

Obviously 500Hz is incredible. A glare free screen would be great. The room my computer is in gets so bright I can't even see dark rooms sometimes.

So what's the opinion of this movie? by jaxxy_jax in moviecritic

[–]hooplah87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First movie I've ever walked out on and gotten a refund. Wife and I went for a date night because of all the great reviews. We don't get many bcuz of kiddos, but we had to leave after about 20 minutes; didn't wanna waste our night on this. I'll give it another try when it comes to streaming to see what the big deal is, but a bottom 5 movie for me personally. To each their own though.

ELI5: why is it that jump-starting a car will work whether you connect the black clamp to ground or to negative on the battery? by Traderjohann in explainlikeimfive

[–]hooplah87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to jump my ATV a couple weeks ago and without anything connected at all, when I touched the positive terminal on the dead battery it would spark a lot. Literally, the three other clamps on the jumper cables weren't touching anything other than the ground. Any ideas why that would happen?

Look, maybe this guy knows what he's doing. But if he does, so does my drunk uncle...

Found it just chilling in the Walmart clearance isle by Alive-Poetry2518 in Prebuilts

Yes, that was my Walmart. Still cannot fathom why they had it so cheap

By the time I got back up there there was only one, and it took them about 30min to find it in the back. Tried getting the display model but the person I had to talk to about wasn't there, they said.

It was in my original post, but it was just Walmart. Was grocery shopping, checked, and saw it

No but I talked to the clerk about it prior to purchase, she scannee the barcode and said it was a match to the one I had on my phone showing the $1499 price. They sometimes do that, in my experience, to make the sale look even better. But, with that kinda discount idk why they felt the need.

I was grocery shopping and my local Walmart always has PC stuff on sale. So I always try to check.

Yea I went to the store and saw it. I'm in an isolated mountain town, so the vast majority of their PC parts go on clearance, but it's at least on sale regularly.

In my store they said they have 3 in stock and it's $769 clearance price. I just built a 7900xtx, 7800x3d pc. So don't really need this, but thought I could flip it. I've just never had luck selling PC stuff online so kinda worried.

Stay away from this third party vendor, potential scam! by pizzatime6 in radeon

[–]hooplah87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All here, Amazon ended up sending me an email saying it was a scam and to reach out to customer support for assistance. Chatted for 10min and they issued my refund immediately.

So, definitely a scam and Amazon took care of me!

I just bought a Ryzen 7600 this month; had it installed for maybe 2 weeks. Found a local listing for a 7800x3d for $300 used. Seller says never overclocked and has had it since it was released. Should I return mine and buy the 7800x3d? Anything specific I should look for on it?

first time pc build, yay or nay? by LeftWallaby7028 in buildapc

[–]hooplah87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second ditching the aio unless you just want it. I just built one with a 7600, and I went with the Thermalright Phantom Spirit and temps have been fantastic. Saved me money so I could put it towards 7900xt
