I ended up ordering this and all the other stuff I had listed in my last build post. Should be getting most of it throughout the week. Ended up costing just about 3 grand, which is obviously way more than the $1k I estimated to begin with, but I decided this needs to last me a long time, so...

The pricing matches the link for me, so it must be something to do with the region. As far as I can tell, matching model numbers and such, it is the same monitor as this one on Newegg (for a LOT more cost) Acer XF270HU Abmiidprzx 27" 144Hz 4ms (GTG) ZeroFrame 2560 x 1440 Gaming Monitor, AMD...

Thanks for all that info, I appreciate it. I didn't realize that was the same monitor you guys were talking about. I've looked at so many monitors, they all run together. Thinking this one might be my pick. Any thoughts on it?

You're gonna have to give me a link or something, because I have no fucking idea what you are talking about. We all know that white is better, but the only white ones I see are external drives, but that is just the color of the case, not the drive series. Unless you mean "white label" which...

I have all reds in my NAS, and they are wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone. Personally I didn't necessarily want to buy reds for just a "regular" drive, but there's hardly anything else out there anymore but high end "black" type drives, which I see no need to spend the money on now...

I have dozens of Steam games installed at any one time. Do I play them all? Of course not. But if I do want to play one, I don't want to wait an hour for it to download and install. And sorry, there is a definite difference with many games going from HDD to SDD. Battletech and Pathfinder...

Anyone have any thoughts/experience with this monitor? Will be running with the RTX2080 listed above if nothing else changes. I don't know a lot about TN vs IPS other than IPS is better color/clarity, supposedly. Will I notice a difference? Everything IPS with similar refresh and size is...

The Fractal Meshify C Dark is the case. It is listed there, just way down. I talked about the 32GB of memory in my previous post, I actually do see a difference with the more complex Minecraft mod packs. They would crash from being OOM fairly regularly, but when I upgraded from 16 to 32, that...

For $75 a day I'd either be eating high quality steak every day (since you can't make it yourself on the road), or I'd find a network of chinese food places that offer rub & tugs in the back room. Bob Kraft can probably hook me up with some locations.

Updated with a few lower cost options already mentioned, and a legit video card choice. Still way over my original budget, but fuck it. I have the money, just didn't think video cards would be so expensive, or that I'd want to upgrade resolution, etc. Went with smaller M2 drive since it is...

Well it was more of a placeholder like I said, but that's good info to have, thank you. I'm hoping to figure things out for video cards after things shake out with this new release today. Is there any difference between the 860 and 970 that is worth even worrying about? I'm assuming no, so...

Ok, go ahead and roast me! The video card is more of a placeholder right now. I still need to decide if I want 1440p, and a new monitor, I'll need more drives, etc. And before you ask, yes I need 32GB of memory. Many of the more complex Minecraft modpacks crashed on me constantly with 16GB...

Just wait until you start taking naps instead. I'm single, no kids, live alone, and every day when I get home from work it is a struggle not to take a 2-3 hour nap. Funny thing is, I typically go to bed at the same time (after midnight) whether I've taken a nap or not. Everyone always says it...

You ate 8 fucking biscuit sandwiches? My rectum prolapsed just from thinking about it.

I get that, but yeah, it's all the "other" stuff that I just don't see the same way some people do.

Your "server" would be the PC now, so it would be the output source. It wouldn't need to send back to the QNAP. The time it takes to get the file from the NAS is negligible (unless you've got some really terrible 1980s networking I suppose) compared to the transcoding time. I'm assuming that...

I know I am always the negative Nellie, but you speak with such certainty about things. I wish I shared your certainty, I really do, but I just don't see it. Sorry, I know that doesn't add anything to this conversation at all. I truly wish there was something big released, no matter what it...

Ah ok. I don't know if I can recommend the live action version or not, I suppose it depends a lot on how much you like that kind of thing. It seemed like a fairly decent interpretation, for how crazy the original concept is, and only watching one episode of the original anime. There were...

I know that. I was just clarifying for Szlia that I'm not a time traveler from the future.

Looks cool, but do I gotta sign up to use it? Don't these people know how lazy most people are?!

I didn't quote anyone, so I can see where it is confusing. I was referring to Shin Godzilla, because the clip someone linked in a spoiler a few posts above mine is where Godzilla goes absolutely apeshit with his breath and "laser beams from his spikes," which is why I commented that he's on a...

I'm pretty sure my budget is out the fucking window. That was more of a goal, but somebody famous said to dream big! I'll definitely wait until the 22nd at least, it isn't that urgent that I have to have it today. I'll throw together a parts picker list at some point so you guys can roast me...

Well, my point is that I can't wait. I'm building the machine very soon, and I am still going to be using the old one for other stuff, so I can't take the video card out of it. I'm not sure I agree with the 5-year video card thing, because by all accounts...that's what is happening with most...

In regard to Endgame and why they didn't build her up beforehand, I honestly don't think that Captain Marvel is going to just waltz in and EZmode Thanos. They have so many characters that need to "pay off" their years of investment, that just throwing it all away for "Gurl Power" would not only...

I felt a bit let down by that version of Godzilla, but I can't really describe why. I mean, he's obviously on a power level way beyond what even some of the crazier versions have shown, but there was still something a little off, to me at least. However, the American liaison chick is fucking...

I've read over the past couple months of posts here, so I'm fairly caught up I think, but I'm still completely unsure about video cards. I'm probably going to put together a somewhat budget system very soon (upwards of $1000, but the closer I can stick to that, the better), but video card...

I watched this over the long weekend and enjoyed it. I thought Klaus, Mom, and Hazel and Cha-Cha were spectacular. The other brothers and sisters were decent, even good. I hate Ellen Page with the fury of a thousand suns, but she didn't ruin the show for me. It would have been significantly...

The first season came out in America in 1974. Seasons 2 and 3 came out over the next couple years, up to 1980 I think. I distinctly remember watching it when I was very young, and I would have been 5 in 1974, so I probably saw it when it first came out. They kept repeating the same season(s)...

I am not backing it up to any cloud service, as the stuff I'm putting on it, while a pain in the ass to lose, is all fairly replaceable. Also, last I looked (which was years ago), backing up that much data was prohibitively expensive for me. I'm not sure what the cost would be now though...

Fortunately, I work near one of the apparent best Wendy's in existence. They get it right almost every single time, and I've been going there off and on for 20 years. And trust me, I'm not eating it if it has mayo, so I'd notice. The Taco Bell near me, however, (and most Taco Bells it seems)...

Don't forget eating like a poor. I understand that's a key tenet of Foler-money 101.

I recently watched Space Battleship Yamato (the live action version of Star Blazers/SBY anime) for about the hundredth time. It is cheesy in the way of most things related to anime, and there are a few completely ridiculous moments of course, but overall I feel like it is one of the best live...

Well, I was taking the 11k from my cold occultist build, so perhaps with brands you can't take all the same stuff, but I was amazed at how easily I could get pretty high ES. I ended up with less than that because I redistributed some points, but I could have had that much no problem. But I...

I've pretty much dropped out of this league for various reasons and am just waiting for the new one. I think I'm gonna do a brand build this time around, since those seem pretty OP and easy to start a league with cheaply. However, I'm thinking of trying to combine that with a CI build. There...

I can't tell if she has D's or not though.

I'm too lazy for this now, but when I was taking sandwiches to school for lunch, I'd make it on frozen bread in the morning (usually peanut butter and jelly), and toss it in my Dukes of Hazzard lunch box. By the time lunch came around, it was defrosted and just fine for eating. Nowadays, I'd...

I have to think Vanessa warned you about this forum before you decided to post this. Unless I'm mixing up the people who use themselves as their avatar. Comments like "Move along child" are guaranteed to win you a lot of goodwill though, so keep it up!

Tyen purposely trolled a tits-for-votes contest simply because he was butthurt about not being allowed on our new forum. Or for the lulz. Probably both. It takes very little reward for someone to troll people nowadays, even if the rest of us non-assburgers people can't fathom spending any...

Unfortunately, they probably won't, because they are probably seeing another Black Panther in the making. It won't happen that way, because unless it is Titanic women usually don't see movies over and over like Wakandans did with Black Panther, but they might be thinking along those lines. I'm...

Yeah, come on guys, Foler can just buy cool shit with his millions of dollars in investments, duh! Fucking plebes. Great job Vanessa. It came out looking better than I thought it would, and those cake spikes really helped in that respect. I wish I had Foler-money so I could buy that sword I...
