I got myself a new case the other day. It took a pretty long time to move my PC from the old HAF 922 to this, but It was worth it!'

Xigmatek Aquarius - It's an unashamed Lian Li knockoff, but 1/3 the price. - https://www.xigmatek.com/product_detail.php?item=246

I do plan to build a custom water loop at some point, but it costs $$$

There's room in there for at lease 10 fans, so it has pretty good airflow. I love the bottom fans as they produce direct GPU cooling and my 1080 Ti's temps have dropped significantly since moving from my old HAF case.

First owner don't like it. So I bought them for £150
In mint condition. One month old. Great black Friday! Lol.

phill · Nov 29, 2019

I hope that price isn't for the two?!?!? :eek:

HUSKIE · Nov 29, 2019

£150 for two.

Tomorrow I will be returning to the seller. He offered me 32gb team group tuf 3200mhz ddr4, 1070ti and 4tb hdd under £150. Lol

She is running naked now. Lol.

Considering how much you love your potato's a nice used 2600 would fit the bill. Just make sure you put your seat belt on it may be a little too fast for you.

Was about to pull a plug on mech keyboard but mechanicalkeyboards.com charges $60 for shipping to Poland on a keyboard worth $80. Freaking ridiculous. That's regular shipping, express costs $100.

I just got a couple of sleeved extenders and did a bit more sleeving for some of the other cables and added LEDs to the top. . . I need to work just a little bit more on cable management, but it's almost done.

Got this phone off the good old tesco mobile contract (£7/month) - I'll probably sell it though along with my LG K4 2017 and make the jump to a Mi note 10 at some stage, however.

Congrats man!! I think the earliest I could get one if I pre ordered was 31st December... That's sadly not going to work now as I've had a mentally expensive weekend for children :cry:

The RX 5700 XT is being prematurely retired.

Here's what the build looked like:

And here's the card chilling outside:

That's because an evil usurper is here, the Palit RTX 2080 Super GameRock:

"Muahahaha..all your base are belong to us" cries the usurper (more like "all your slots are belong to us.")

This card will be pulling a 1440p display (for which the RX 5700 XT was perfect). The RTX 2080 Super is too powerful for 1440p (RTX 2070 Super or RX 5700 XT are enough), and it's not perfect for 4K either (RTX 2080 Ti fits that bill). So I guess RTX 2080 Super on 1440p is more of a future-proofing option. Play anything from today maxed out with RTX, be future-ready for the next 3 years at least.

And yes, this is the exact card from the TPU review. It's a gift from the boss, re-assembled with some TIM replacement, etc.
