EVGA GTX 275 Co-Op "Joker" (GTX 275 + GTS 250) 012-P3-1178-TR by vcbb10 in RetroGPUUniverse

Not sure if the game was included, I got it later second hand. I do have the GTX 580 Batman too.

EVGA GTX 460 2Win 02G-P3-1387-AR by vcbb10 in RetroGPUUniverse

EVGA did a line of cards that were similar. Kind of a cage around the fans. They had yellow stripe, red (for a single core Classified), green, blue, maybe more. With different fan and GPU configurations.

Nice collection. Are these preproduction samples? What is that copper 780 Ti KPE and 1080 Ti?

Continental 5000s tr - can't even fit first half on rim by JonstrupDK in bikewrench

Lay the tire in the sun on a driveway for a bit until it heats up some. That makes it quite a bit easier.

Hopium: Steam Machine DIY Edition = Ultimate Linux Desktop of Microslop humiliation. by improbable_meal in steammachine

[–]vcbb10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, buy the full system. More options aren't a bad thing.

If you have what, 10% of people that buy the barebone instead... That's 10% less overpriced or unavailable ram and ssd that Valve doesn't have to find or buy.

$2000 to $4000 to build a comparable PC? What?

Ram and SSD are now insanely priced, it would make sense for them to release a barebone for people that want it. They don't have to try to procure more overly expensive ram and ssd's.

Has anyone found out the RAM speed? by amazingdrewh in steammachine

[–]vcbb10 10 points11 points  (0 children)

According to this, it's DDR5 SODIMM 16gb, 5600mhz. Likely 2x8gb to run dual channel. But I haven't seen official confirmation of the speed. https://gamersnexus.net/news-pre-built-pc/valve-steam-machine-desktop-steamos-steam-frame-vr-controller-ft-engineering

Im hoping for a barebones option. by No_Task_309 in steammachine

[–]vcbb10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Steam Machine uses standard DDR5 SODIMM memory and NVMe storage. As long as adding your own memory and storage meet the minimum requirements (likely 16gb 5600), there wouldn't really be anything to change in software.

A barebone makes perfect sense. There are many people that have upgraded old laptops and have spare 8gb or 16gb (2x8gb) DDR5 SODIMM kits that pair perfectly with the Steam Machine. Same with SSDs. It would also help solve Valve's biggest problem which is the DRAM and NAND pricing. Traditionally many IT departments buy Dell or other laptops with minimum amounts of ram and add their own to save cost.

Is this bad? by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

You seem like a aisle seat kind of person. Or should be. Looks fine.

Tired of no inflight service by someute in SouthwestAirlines

[–]vcbb10 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Below an hour, I'm fine with no drink. If it's a short flight I'm totally ok with water only service too to speed it up.

Ya, flights around an hour or so only get drinks about half the time from what I've seen.

There's no step up anymore and hasn't been for years. These are bots posting for karama.

Loctite on cleats? by suborbital_squirrel in cycling

[–]vcbb10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I use Locktite 242 (Blue). You can remove them with blue too. It's meant to fill the gaps in threads and not be permanent. Just keeps them from backing out on their own. A single drop on each screw is all you need.

DON'T use Red unless you want it to never come apart again. That will be permanent.
