"Just what I always wanted", said no one, ever,......

One dollar will get you this fake gag dollar-- fool your friends into thinking you've got a real dollar,...... Seriously, why not just dig up an old PC case or buy one for essentially the price of shipping and retrofit your new build in that? There is more then one way to stealth a PC. Back...

I've got a bad feeling about this,.....

I have two of the Antec 900 cases (which have a 200mm top mounted stock fan) but I also have a Zalman MS800 case: https://www.techpowerup.com/175633/zalman-ms800-and-ms800-plus-cases-detailed https://www.techpowerup.com/review/zalman-ms800-plus/3.html The link is to the Zalman MS800 Plus...

Her is what the old Antec 900 case looks like

~$499,....good lord!!!! I've go a Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard which was one of the more expensive keyboards. However, ~$499 is next level. The only reason I have the Logitech diNovo Edge is because I won it as part of the Microsoft Vista Look for the Logo sweepstakes way back when. The...

I keep two Antec 900 cases because they have nine front 5.25” slots. Currently they both have their front bays populated with three 5.25” to 3.5” hot-swap backplanes. These aren’t necessarily but they make things easier

I guess I got lucky then,……because I don’t want a Switch 2 :)

Maybe it’s as simple as the filament. I had some Creality PLA filament in my Ender 3 V2 but when I got My Elegoo Centauri Carbon it fell into disuse. After the CC went through three or four spools of filament I ran out and had to take the spool off the Ender 3 V2. Unfortunately the filament...

Very tempting IMO. Although given that I have a RyZen 7950X it still might not be worth it. I would love to have a 9950X though.

If Apple were to launch a MacBook running MacOS on an iPhone SoC, that would be a big smack in the face to iPad and iPad Pro users that limped along on iPadOS for so long. So the only thin that makes sense is for this new MacBook to run something other then MacOS or for the iPad to get MacOS.

Quite right, however, if we are referring to companies / corporations in general, not all sell a product or service that people can live without. A power company may provide high priced electricity that is unreliable due to frequent outages and constantly increase their prices. If they are the...

Synology HDD / SSD are just rebranded drives that perform either the same as their retail counterparts or worse. My Synology DS1815+ has performed admirably but with Synology's compulsory drive requirement I've moved on. My newest NAS is a UGreen DXP8800 Plus 8 bay (Intel Core i5 1235U / 10...

Question: What are the chances that the anemic RTX 5050 graphics card line will have a reasonable MSRP? Answer: Probably less then 50/50,.... Question: What are the chances the RTX 5050 will actually meet its MSRP (whatever it may be)? Answer: Probably less then 50/50,.... Question: What...

I’m thinking more like an RX 7700 XT but we should see some real world benchmarks soon. Personally I want to buy an RX 9060 XT to try and installing SteamOS on a desktop PC. It would be my first real attempt to stick it to Windows on a desktop
