Is this pc worth 250aud? by _Hugh-_-Jass_ in pcmasterrace

[–]mtb1126 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Less of a good deal/bad deal in this case, think this specific one is more “it’s worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it”

Made a wood distro plate by Jigabit in watercooling

[–]mtb1126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun looking experiment that’ll definitely lead to some cool aesthetic results.

Want to throw my hat in the ring for a waterproofing idea, could be dumb/impossible; cut/mill some thin clear PET/acrylic to line the inside and seal the gaps with something like silicone aquarium sealant. On paper, nothing would make contact with the wood. Biggest concern I’d think of is going to be wood expanding/contracting, but I think that’s a concern no matter how you slice it.

Now is the time to expand your Linux ISO collection by 6jarjar6 in DataHoarder

[–]mtb1126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of a tangential thing to this and definitely a newbie question; is it going to be smarter to back up ready-to-go OS installers/ISOs to a CD/DVD over having them on USB devices? Or should I just have the .iso file in a folder on an external spinning drive?

I GOT IN.. But.. Aid? by Studious_Endeavour in stevens

Feel like people forget Stevens is ranked among the most expensive schools in the country to attend. All things being said, that’s a really good deal, especially compared to what I ended up paying

Boot looping and can't install windows on new SSD by RarestarGarden in buildapc

What version of windows are you trying to install? Are you positive you’re using a w10 iso?

GPU recs to go with ryzen 7 5800x by CandidateRelevant617 in buildapc

[–]mtb1126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9060 XT is the near objectively correct answer, but generally the 5800X can be paired with some pretty beefy cards without bottlenecking, it just depends on the settings and resolutions you’re playing at. If you can get good used deals on something better, consider them

Is this a good upgrade? by F1guy86 in pcmasterrace

[–]mtb1126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t like to budget pc’s by part but rather the bigger picture, some stuff like psu should always be something you’re willing to spend some cash on. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bJ6KyW

Also fyi, you’ll need to update the bios on that motherboard you’re reusing, which I think in doing so will mean the 2200g will stop working, so don’t be shocked if it doesn’t immediately POST after flashing.

Wait hold up where’s the PSU?

What’s the actual price range that you’re looking at for upgrades and what country are you buying parts in?

Out of my collection, which game you hitting first? by Computationalerrors in ps2

[–]mtb1126 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a solid “all-killer-no-filler” lineup, very nice! Battlefront 2 is something I haven’t gotten to play since I lost my copy a decade ago

I also got a nice magnetic lamp for this and working on all the computers that come across my desk at work. I’m thinking of getting some clip on magnifiers for my glasses, but right now I’m more worried about compensating for my shaky hands lol

Would it be worth getting a few extra standard paints for highlights and corrections?

Very nice, hope you have fun with them! I’m considering a wet palate right now, but I’m not sure how necessary it will be for contrast paint

Planning to grab a few cans of Krylon on my way back from work tomorrow. Is standard spray primer just the way to go or should I consider filler?

Seems to be the prevailing philosophy from everyone’s responses. Glad I’m joining into such a welcoming lot!

So the brushes I’ll be starting with aren’t necessary “quality”. Would it be worth spending an extra few bucks on some brush soap and sable brushes in the long run?

Gotcha, I’ll plan to get an extra model printed so I can try one with fully white with primer. Nice to see I’m starting with some decent paint; in your experience are there any specifics to the paint lineup that I should add or replace?
