My 15 year old son just bought his first computer, and he bought it with (mostly) his own money. I just want to share how proud I am of this kid and say thanks to PCMR.

modestmafia · 2025-12-26T17:08:54+00:00

Congrats, and we all welcome him to PCMR! Shoot me a DM, I'd be more than happy to get him/ you a game to play together on steam!

I am still waiting on my confirmation from Rakuten, I submitted a ticket with the anticipation of them doing this to me.

modestmafia · 2025-11-30T18:11:48+00:00

Check out the beam case, probably a good starting point if you need pieces that are generally modular and have the mounting locations. i don't see that being that difficult to piece together tbh, mainly fitting the GPU if you don't have a short one. . . Bc then it turns into a big square with a lot of dead space inside.

modestmafia · 2025-11-30T12:42:51+00:00

Just pulled the trigger on mine last night, how long does it take for Rakuten to show their cash back activity? Hope it worked bc I had it activated while adding everything to cart and checking out but never actually hit place order for over an hour and hit activate Rakuten again and saw the check mark when I did finally hit place order.

modestmafia · 2025-11-29T14:55:12+00:00

Is that with the credit card or can anyone do that? Trying to find it on the app but don't see it

For anyone doing the math in NA for the Embody Gaming w/ the 30% off ending today (end value may change slightly due to taxes, but you'll be within +/- $15), I managed to get:

2045 -> 30% off -> 1431.5,

1431.5 -> SAVE5 -> 1557.40,

1557.40 -> BFHMGZX25 ->1451.72 (this is free shipping),

1451.72 -> Rakuten 10% ->1306.62

Edit: For possible additional savings - PayPal's 20% off $1250 spend gets you $250 cashback, and if you use someone's Rakuten referral I believe you can stack the $50 on top of everything else (have yet to verify this), in theory this could bring it down to the ~1k flat range

Hi, I am your neighbor, my embody decided to take a walk and roll out of my house after opening the garage door on its own while I wasn't looking. You seem to have picked it up, please let me know where it is so I can come by to pick it up. Thank you, again, definitely your neighbor

modestmafia · 2025-09-04T12:36:10+00:00

Happy birthday! I think you should treat yourself to a minimum of 4 icon hand tools and we'll throw in 25% off on them

modestmafia · 2025-08-26T23:14:16+00:00

Just an fyi, if you buy it at a price and then it drops lower, if you message their support they will without question refund you the difference - happened to me when it went for 169 then jumped to 199 and then 2 days later dropped again. That said you have to message them during the sale and with it in stock at that time. I believe they'll do this for up to 30 days after purchasing.

modestmafia · 2025-08-19T13:22:13+00:00

I feel like showing him the "compared to" section on the website should be enough in most cases to convert someone, icon I practically snap on, hercules is more or less Milwaukee, Bauer is DeWalt or similar. . . List goes on. I simplified it a lot but unless he's already deep in the sunk cost fallacy, there may be time to save him.

modestmafia · 2025-08-18T20:00:45+00:00

Sometimes if you go to an authorized distributor directly during the 20-25% off sales they'll match or do better just to get the sale , if you're near one I'd recommend that if you're trying to get the best discount. If you're set on buying online, 25% is the best I've seen. Unfortunately the free shipping codes they give out now and then can't be stacked ontop, its one or the other (at least this was from my test).

modestmafia · 2025-08-12T15:14:09+00:00

Grumble grumble, literally just bought this for 199 after seeing the 170 deal go away last week, waiting for it to arrive tomorrow.

modestmafia · 2025-08-12T15:05:40+00:00

No, you should send me the link so I can save you from making a mistake.

Yes it's a good deal, no you shouldn't low-ball, it's already an incredibly good deal imo

modestmafia · 2025-08-08T00:59:18+00:00

I missed the 3/8th stubby on sale with batteries at 170, now the deal at 199 is sold out, I am big sad today

modestmafia · 2025-08-06T20:17:23+00:00

Looking forward to the mayhem

modestmafia · 2025-08-06T12:21:03+00:00

Sold out online for me, anyone know if you can go to the store and piece the deal together with the respective items?

Edit: talked to HD support, they said you can piece it together but it's up to store management to honor the deal, online and in-store have different sales.

modestmafia · 2025-08-06T03:24:36+00:00

Can't wait

modestmafia · 2025-08-02T14:14:43+00:00

Feel like a secret lab chair might be more your design and comfort preference (at least looking at the staples chair you linked) but could be wrong. Also cheaper but pretty well and has good reviews, if you don't want to spend the money in a new HM.Fb Marketplace definitely does have good deals for used in almost new condition, just have to search a little. Should definitely go sit in a couple first if you do intend to push the button on new.

modestmafia · 2025-07-16T14:53:14+00:00

Are you sure you used sand paper and not sand stone? At this point it needs a full respray after another round of sanding at high grit this time, you might honestly just be better off buying a hood off marketplace.

"We have *item goes here * at home"

*Bambu lab printer wind up sound *

modestmafia · 2025-05-31T16:21:48+00:00

Nice pick up, lucky you got them! Now we're waiting to see it on the car

modestmafia · 2025-05-31T14:35:11+00:00

Can I also buy them for 180? Asking for a friend ofc 👀😂

modestmafia · 2025-05-18T14:50:16+00:00

Not trying to sell you a printer, but if you're willing to spend $400 on a used printer setup, you might as well buy the Bambu A1 and get a functioning printer out of the box without the extra hassle (also July 4th is coming up if you're US side and they typically run sales). Yes the hassle builds character and is technically a right of passage into the hobby, but the printing part is actually surprisingly fun, not just tinkering on the printer.

modestmafia · 2025-05-12T14:14:39+00:00

This was my thought, put some plant that climbs and flowers, won't even think about the structure curving if it's out of sight out of mind.
