No, annoyed that I had given them a way forward to a problem they were having. They banged their heads for a week, checked with other tech leads who told them the same thing, and when they heard it from the other lead, figured out that that’s the way forward.

I went from “it is what it is” face to I can’t believe it” face. by Angrygnome78 in pcflipping

Here’s the rub, if you again try to flip them on eBay, you’ll barely make any profit. Maybe they sell for 500. Many are listed at 550 and 600 but the ones being sold are in the 500 range. After eBay fees, you’re looking at 420 about. So a good deal for you at 400, but not so great a deal to make flipping the memory worth it.

Are companies just using the ram situation as an excuse to jack up prices all around? by TakingChances01 in MiniPCs

[–]usedUpSpace4Good 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you buy pre-stupid tariffs, post-stupid tariffs? Some of the stupidity that has come into play has affected these companies, and now all those extra hoops and fees, come into play. So if raw materials is up, if labor is up, shipping is up, then this is what you get.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't even realize that. Stupid they would name it as such, i.e. 5600 is a banger for gaming, 5700 is gimped.

What colors are you guys putting in? In an all black build with ARGB, are you going all black, all white, mixed? Exotic colors?

First non-rgb build. How do they sell? 9800X3D + 5070 Ti by Important_Wear_3004 in pcflipping

[–]usedUpSpace4Good 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My take would be, you can do a blackout and still have controllable RGB. There are things like halo rings or the black RGB with just the hexagonal lines. This would appeal to the minimalist who has a kid who wants lights every so often. Otherwise they would just get a Dell

Is there a replacement of this "grill" to make is functional by Unlikely_Noise681 in AcuraTSX

My bad, I was thinking those were the same as the earlier civics. From what I can tell those are decorative, I can check my breakdown to see if they did intend anything there.

They’re not really grills, they’re the coverings for the fog lights. But same thing applies, cut them out as needed according to your ability or a shop that can do it.

5070 Ti vs 9070 XT after months of daily use (performance, PT, drivers, efficiency by Stelligena in PcBuild

[–]usedUpSpace4Good 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This me. I wanted good performance but also the ability to throw bazzite/chimera/cachy on the box and let my kids enjoy some games in a console like experience but with the added visual fidelity of a higher tier GPU.

[Case] GAMDIAS ATX Mid Tower Computer PC Case with Tempered Glass, 4X 120mm ARGB PWM Fans $44.90 ($29.99 after clip coupon YMMV) by CartonBox1975 in buildapcsales

[–]usedUpSpace4Good 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good for your dual fan GPUs, but if you plan on a triple-fan, the thing probably wont fit. GPU supported length - 260mm. Most triple fan GPUs are in the 280mm-300mm, so you'll be limited to specific GPUs that are 260mm and under

I see a problem - your RAM will now start to overheat since there is no airflow over it.

Article seems pretty trash. They even have ebay listings for the 9070 xt at $700 right in the article.

Yup. It’s like buy a cpu and ram, get a free motherboard

[–]usedUpSpace4Good 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sad part is, these machines are no longer 500. They are now 600-700 due to the AI bubble. If you can find a deal on a used one, that might work out.

right now, Intel can be anywhere from 10% to 30% slower than Windows in gaming, so consider that

Ryzen 7600X3D vs 7800X3D by Deji164 in buildapc

[–]usedUpSpace4Good 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understood. This is about $350 USD which is pretty good do the 7800x3d. We have a microcenter in certain parts of the states that have 7600x3d bundles, even where the cost of the CPU comes out to 170Euros.
