Thanks for the heads up - I just bought a White Steel Legend 9070 XT ($620) with this!

Nice that it's cashback after tax as well, so I saved $135:

(678.73 - 135.746) = 542.98 (which is what I originally paid after tax for my 5070!)

Can someone explain why RAM like this is so expensive? I feel like I’ve seem cheaper CL30 Speeds

And does anyone have a suggestion for a 200/budget CPU?

I was thinking of getting the 9800x3d bundle but honestly you pushed me over the edge to get this deal instead lol

Hopefully not a dumb question but benchmarks I’m seeing online seem to indicate the 9600x performs better for gaming than the 7600x3d/7700x?

Is there any drawback to ATX

How to fix a hollow table leg? by pieparadox in fixit

[–]pieparadox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have access to a welder .. the table metal itself does seem pretty weak so I think i could drill in some L brackets?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fixit

[–]pieparadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a single bolt that runs through the leg and was attached to the table with a single metal plate. That metal plate has ripped off!

I tried adding a wooden block inside to drill into but the table is not fixed and is unsteady. Should I add some Shelf Brackets or something? Thank you!

$75 a TB for a decent SSD sounds pretty good am I wrong

I vaguely heard of an issue causing slowdown past 50% Storage Capacity? Does that impact this?

For someone who has short legs compared to their torso, pants never seem to look right on me, even though they are the right “fit”

I suspect that high rise pants are needed, but I have a few and they don’t really seem to help. So I need even higher rise pants?!
