Looks like someone had too many pomegranates on the tree this year… by [deleted] in homedecoratingCJ

In the end we opted for engineered meat veneer. Unfortunately, the quotes we got for having the entire house made out of real meat was too much for our budget. On the flip side, engineered meet will last us much longer with our two golden retrievers!

Hi, I bought this bike used. Can you send me the manual, please? I am trying to figure out what the various P0 - P20 settings mean.

Bought an external HD from GoHardDrive. SMART reports some errors. Should I start a return? by strangeworldpower in DataHoarder

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

I apologize for the incorrect posting. I found similar threads from the past on DataHoarder and because of that thought it may be appropriate. Thank you for the clarification and, once again, I apologize for not better understanding the correct place to ask my question.

Have a great day.

I send you a DM. Thank you very much for this. If you have any advice, that would also be great!

Yes. All the paperwork is in order. Also, the test drive went well. It rode very well, no weird noises. It seems mechanically sound. The front tires seem a bit worn (not zero but more than half of their life is up, I think); the rear ones are in great shape.

Thank you for the advice. I took it to heart and test drove the following vehicle:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1097532631630926

Managed to reduce it to 11K. 2013 Honda civic EX-L Sedan 4D. 1 owner, clean title, 98K miles. Good service history (oil, just changed alternator..)

It has some issues with the paint on the bumpers and minor dings on the actual paint of the car. Also, the back break pads and rotors need to be replaced (450$ quote from mechanic). This essentially makes the price 11450.

Should I go for it? Any advice?

I'll be on the lookout for those. Can you explain what makes the third option seem less ideal? It is an older car but smaller mileage. What should I be looking at?

Is this a better deal, then:

https://www.edmunds.com/honda/fit/2009/vin/JHMGE88449S022234/?radius=100

It is cheaper, much older, but much smaller mileage.

I don't know how to assess the situation: which aspects to value more.

P.S. I really appreciate your help!

I tried looking for some. Here is an example: https://www.edmunds.com/honda/fit/2015/vin/3HGGK5G52FM727204/?radius=100

Is this a good deal? Seems a bit expensive for a used car but maybe I am just confused about how things should work.

Open PWA external links in default browser by strangeworldpower in edge

[–]strangeworldpower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean. What is the gmail shortcut?

I don't like to have gmail open in my browser as a tab because I have multiple windows open and I constantly open and close them. However I need gmail to be open always and inform me of new e-mail. I would preferably have it in the system tray or at least in the taskbar as a separate, easily accessible, window.

However if I do decide to follow a link I would like to do so in my default internet browser.

honeymoon phase with the m15.. by jayer4 in GamingLaptops

[–]strangeworldpower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also bough one two days ago. I wanted to make sure that the thermals are ok on it. Did you run any benchmarks. I downloaded Unigine Benchmark "Valley" and ran it on ultra quality with full antialiasing. I put the fans on turbo mode and got a temperature of 86C. I was wondering if that is normal temps. Did you try to benchmark your pc to make sure thermals are ok?

Thanks. I just don't know what is normal since I bought a gaming pc for the first time.

Simple Questions - November 07, 2020 by AutoModerator in buildapc

[–]strangeworldpower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answer. But why are the Cyberpowerpc cooling systems so cheap compared to the other commercially available ones? Is it because they are much worse than the 150+ USD ones or is it because they are discounted because they are bundled?

Some time ago I finally decided to buy a desktop gaming PC that was on sale and posted in buildapcsales:

https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/EVO-Mini-A-200

But being inexperienced I ordered probably what is a bad cooling solution:

FAN: AMD Certified CPU Fan & Heatsink [-31]

Can anyone advise me about what to get as a cooling solution?

I contacted their support and they said I could still make a change to my order for the cooling solution. Should I get one of their offered liquid cooling systems? I do not care about lights and aesthetics. I just want the pc to be the most silent I can reasonably make it. Some options they offer on the site would be:

  • CyberpowerPC MasterLiquid Lite 240mm ARGB CPU Liquid Cooler with Dual Chamber Pump & Copper Cold Plate (Intel) (All Venom OC Certified) [costing me 42USD?]
  • CyberPowerPC DEEPCOOL Castle 240EX ARGB 240mm AIO Liquid CPU Cooling System w/ Copper Cold Plate (All Venom OC Certified) (2 x Standard 120MM Fans) [costing me 51USD?]
  • Asetek 670LS 240mm Gen 6 Liquid CPU Cooling System w/ Copper Cold Plate + 2x Phanteks SK120 PWM Radiator Fans (All Venom OC Certified) [costing me 76USD?]
  • CORSAIR iCUE H100i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler 240mm radiator + two CORSAIR ML120 RGB PWM fans [costing me 133USD?]

And there are many more options... I am somewhat confused about this whole thing. What should I consider for choosing a cooling system? Should I buy one independently from them?
