Just got a new monitor: Acer Nitro KG243Y 100Hz

Tip to anyone buying 4090 Aero Gigabyte

What about it?

Hello there, If you are buying 4090 from Gigabyte and it will be Aero - make sure to check your motherboard cables before you buy because their anti “sag bracket” is pretty large and it did not fit with my “Asus rog strix B650a gaming wifi” motherboard. Solution: cut it, spray paint it, install it

Finally have a pc!

The Nvidia situation in 2023 simplified:

Get to finally use my welding skills for my PC build

What about it?

A very cheap case for 30 bucks. The sheet metal is literally catching the motherboard with the standoffsby only 2 mm. So in the pic my plan is to grind the rivets and drop said section down, clean powder coat, and tack the sheet metal (as it is not going to be structural). Then spray the ground areas with a slight coat of clear coat (for now). Then I will reassemble the PC. For any questions about specs, it is going to be a xeon w-3175x (ebay build, I spent about 2200 us dollars) for workstation. And yes, the board is atx and the case does "accept" atx, however the bolt holes align, just some case misalignment.

Alienware without Dell's OEM Software is remarkably bearable

Waited outside all day for delivery guy. Didn't show. Called carrier, got them to hold it, was told couldn't pick it up till monday. Then, 10 minutes later it was ready for pickup! I am finally adding 2100 gamer points to my GPU specs. Paired with 3200Mhz DDR4, B450M, NVMe SSD, and a Ryzen 9 5900X

Honestly, worth it

You can no longer uninstall Edge, and if you use an app uninstaller software, it doesn’t allow any apps from the MS store to open once it is deleted.

Warning lights

What about it?

Okay, long story short: I’m moving, I setup my pc, I can’t find my usb drives, I’m just gonna buy a cheap flash drive tomorrow to redownload and reinstall windows. Do these lights mean there could be a problem with my gpu and my boot drive, or could my boot drive be the problem and it somehow triggered the GPU light as well. If my gpu is bricked, atleast I only have a year till I graduate college and start getting adult job checks to build a new pc. Asking because I don’t want to bother reinstalling windows if my gpu is f’d. (I’ve tried everything and gpu light isn’t turning off)

After 11 years of waiting… I’m pleased

What about it?
