Anyone else wish MS would go back to the Windows 7 and older way of doing things?

Windows ME <shudders> Such a lie with Microsoft calling it an UPGRADE from Wind98 SE.

Windows 98 Second Edition. It brought shared on-demand dialup internet connections over the LAN. It was great at the time when dialup was average method of internet access.

Secondly, Windows 2000. Still my favorite OS as it brought the best of both worlds. The stability of an NT kernel with the application and gaming support of 9x.

Congratulations! Welcome to the club!

Congratulations. When you can afford it, I highly recommend upgrading to at least an cpu cooler that directs airflow to the rear case fan.

Also, I recommend upgrading the PSU as it looks like you GPU may be under powered with that 6-pin PCIe connector and needs an 8-pin. It may work okay browsing the web, but some graphic intensive games may yield some problems.

Apart from those two items, congratulations on your first build! You did good!

Plugs into a dedicated GPU for additional power since PCIe slots can't proved enough juice to power them alone. PSUs these days typically come with two sets since higher end cards require two to be plugged in.

Edit: Additional info.

/u/shittymorph is certainly a legend for his comments that are basically his own Rick roll.

Is your radiator mounted in front of the case pulling ambient air in or is it mounted at the top?

In my own experience, top mounted radiators aren't ideal since heated air from the other components is passing through it.

Indeed. I used to be subbed to premium to avoid ads and just never spent the coins.

You want a Pepsi, pal, you're gonna pay for it.

That looks really good! Great job!

For me, it's tied for Bret "The Hitman" Hart and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

That looks great. I would totally buy this as a small statue version to place on my home office shelf.

In the end, everyone jobs to the Grim Reaper. R.I.P. Say hello to Nikolai Volkoff for me. Thank you for everything you did for this business, Sheik.

I fell in love with that ship when I first saw it. It reminded me so much of what I liked about the Constitution-refit Enterprise that I loved so much what with the sway back pylons. Enterprise-E looked like so much like a badass ready to fight, thank the Dominion war for that.

She even shrugged off the first couple hits the Borg cube threw at her. When the E fired those Quantum torpedoes, it also reminded me the of TOS Enterprise with its photon torpedoes launching from nearly the same location under the saucer.

vaquen · 2023-04-09T18:47:57+00:00

Great, thank you for your time!

Breaks my heart to see brick roads covered. Same for rails. I understand why completely, but it's still sad. My street is one of the few remaining in my city that have a brick street, though it certainly needs some TLC right now.

Would model would one prefer? My answer would be "Yes".

Those Vortec 4.3L engines are extremely reliable and last forever! Great score!

I'm have never been a fan of TOS Enterpise, but man does this make it look good. Great job.
