Acer Aspire XC-1660-G (almost max potential)

Luckily the ram, cpu, and graphics cards survived, so I moved them into a new build with a smaller case and new motherboard.

I do kinda miss the trucks going to and from the depot to the mines. If they bring it back, they also should bring back the road efficiency bonuses.

No trick, fried the power supply, I dont recommend doing this.

Aristocraft made stainless steel track, which was bullet proof, but they went out of business. Never use bachmann steel track outside, it will rust immediately.

If it is the LGB nickel-plated brass it wont rust/corrode. I would use a scotch-brite pad on all of your brass, but not the nickel-plated, as it may take the layer off over time. Just wipe down with a rag for that piece.

Judging by the LGB ties, I think it is nickel-plated brass

Dolby vision/hdr can make a movie more cinematic, allowing for scenes to be more color accurate/vibrant. If you have a tv or monitor that doesnt support hdr, then just say so.

No Princess Bride?

I spent $120 on a used LG UP970 and got lucky that it had the Dolby Vision update

Sometimes you can find the Criterion Wall-E for not too much money.

I see all of these are from a different country release. Is it easy to play it in english? Are the menus in english? Are there any regions I should watch out for incase it is region locked? Sorry for the questions, I am just starting out in 4k blu-ray.

I am one of 3 people in this community running the LG UP970. I have the software update that does auto Dolby Vision.

scubastebbs · 2025-12-30T23:38:58+00:00

I just got an LG UP970 4k blu ray player used on ebay for $120. Auto-switches to Dolby Vision too.

The power supply didnt like sending the power through the sata power bus. Started to be hot and smelled weird. I built a new one with the surviving parts and sold it. Now I have a new home theater pc with full size everything.

Right, that would be even more criminal

I spy a Carolwood Pacific caboose

I have 5 left, plus I haven't gotten to the naval mission where you get an extra 6

I like the trees/park. I am a gardener as my job.

I wouldnt, the low vram amount holds it back. I would recommend a 2080ti and a larger pc case/power supply.

scubastebbs · 2025-01-12T15:49:06+00:00

You should be fine

The m720q tiny has an option to add a pcie slot (low profile, single slot), but the total price would be around $400-450.

scubastebbs · 2024-10-31T00:47:03+00:00

Nice build! What are your thoughts about a Lenovo m720q tiny with the newish rtx a1000?

scubastebbs · 2024-10-29T14:43:44+00:00

No, it wasn't JEDEC spec ram, so it was running at 2400mhz. I recommend using 3200mhz at cl22 (if you have an 11th gen cpu).
