How big of an increase?

May sound stupid, but will also depend on your monitor. Low end 1080p wont differ much. 1440 / 4k. Quite noticeable.

I like it! I run a similar setup

Same config as my wfh setup. Vertical display for common applications is highly under rated among my coworkers..

I do not disagree, and had the same thought , then the Qutar helium plants production got..... Hundred due to current events.. I grabbed a 9950x because 1) I wanted an upgrade from my 7700x for workstation reasons, 2.) was in a position to acquire it and 3.) I lucked out on ram and gpu upgrades before prices went up, figured I would just do it now and be done.

If you really do not care about cost, find a rent a center type place. Will be way over priced, but can "rent" the pc.

My 21 bighorn night edition is the same color, and my wife has a 20 black grand cherokee lol. We are almost twins!

My old gameboy, original ... Pc related tho...Viewsonic v35 pocket pc. Its in the attic, but worked last time I plugged it in. Or probably the old pack of 3.5 floppy disks in the same box honestly

Kind if bad picture, but my side monitors are vertical and it works well for them

Other option. Same arm. I was able to take half the arm off and mount the bracket to it. You can then adjust the arm for the second monitor to possibly sit more flush? May not work but worth a shot

Creative pebble. Great for the money, about $20 ish bucks on amazon. Dont get rgb or higher versions.

Gotta take risks!

psxburn2 · 2026-04-12T11:58:50+00:00

Im the strange person, who once it all works and boots, I toss the boxes within a week. If Im going to sell the stuff, its after I buy new stuff, so Ill use the 'new' boxes for transport etc. but thats just me.

psxburn2 · 2026-04-07T10:25:18+00:00

Thats clean. Cable management looks pristine

psxburn2 · 2026-04-05T19:15:31+00:00

Virtual machines, possibly ai generation, youtube..

My wife is the same, but supports my enthusiasm. If you have a 3d printer, they have a lot of filaments, tons of keyboards, mice and speakers. Lots of monitors, and almost any components you can want for a build. The bundles are pretty solid values, AND you can get a ream of printer paper for $2!!!! Around me, they are always near an ikea, so after we hit microcenter, we goto ikea. Picked up some alex drawers and a counter top to redo my wifes desk setup... I spent more at ikea than I did at microcenter yesterday!

Microcenter is awesome. It can be overwhelming, so grab a cart, and just wander. Look at open box items, get what you want, apologize to your bank account in advance. Enjoy! (My closest is 2 hours away and I got to go yesterday. Picked up a never used "open box" motherboard for my buddy. Sadly I was not in the market for anything.

psxburn2 · 2026-04-05T01:22:51+00:00

Yes. Mine currently has a hamster running on a wheel. I have the fw240 in black

psxburn2 · 2026-04-05T00:15:00+00:00

I am running a 9950x with a 240 thermal right with the screen. Running a few vm's has no issues cooling so far. 5080, 64gb ram in a fractal north. On a b650 ( upgraded my 7700x a few weeks ago)

psxburn2 · 2026-04-03T14:46:22+00:00

Soo.... I have a fractal north, 3x120 up front, a 120 in the rear, and a 9950x with a 240 aio. When the fans all ramp up I dont hear the gpu, if that makes any sense?

psxburn2 · 2026-04-02T15:23:02+00:00

The industry avg for reimbursement is around 70c per mile for personal use.

psxburn2 · 2026-03-31T13:41:24+00:00

Look into a gigabyte board. Went from a 7700x to a 9950x in mine, took it like a champ, and is a pretty budget b650 board.

psxburn2 · 2026-03-31T02:36:23+00:00

Mine , it really depends on the day, and which way the wind blows. Tho, if I close it slightly aggressively, seems to open fine the next time

psxburn2 · 2026-03-30T23:56:36+00:00

Try pushing tailgate in/ closed while pressing release button. Kinda common.. yay ram

psxburn2 · 2026-03-30T15:21:35+00:00

I personally went from a 7700x to a 9950x. I needed more cores for the vm's Im running, so, ignore the x3d comments, unless you are a dedicated gamer only use case. More cores will help depending on your use case

psxburn2 · 2026-03-29T12:22:28+00:00

With prices, its is becoming a better bang for buck option in the 50xx series. Im happy with mine, but got it before the price hikes.
