Another great review @Mr. Fox That thing is a screamer for sure. Even by cutting the GPU slot down to X8 that shouldn't bottle neck the GPU would it?

Yeah I have a portable Blu Ray burner I can just plug into a USB port... I still rarely use it though.

I have an extensive collection of old VHS and Hi 8mm video tapes. Holiday events with family as well as years worth of water skiing and vacation videos. I transferred them to digital years ago, at least 10 years ago and it is quite the project but well worth it! What you have to be careful of is the tapes are so old now they can easily break or get eaten by the VCR. Hopefully you have stored them in a place that does not get too hot. I would recommend you test some tapes that you don't care about in your VCR before you put the ones in that you cannot replace. Also the VCRs are so old now that the rubber rollers, belts and other wear items are shot. I have a Sony SLV-R1000 which is the best consumer Super VHS VCR ever made, it plays regular VHS tapes which are 240 lines of resolution as well as Super VHS which is 400 lines of resolution which was quite an improvement over standard VHS. I also have a Sony EV-S7000 which is the top of the line Hi-8mm VCR which would play standard 8mm of 240 lines of resolution as well as Hi-8mm tapes which again were 400 lines of resolution. Before I embarked on my project since I had not used either for some time, I sent them to some guy I found on ebay that specialized in rebuilding older VCRs. He put all new wear items in and cleaned everything up. It was not cheap, but they worked flawlessly for me which was well worth it. I bought a video capture card for my PC that fit into a PCI slot, and used some software by Cyberlink to import them. I connected the RCA jacks from the VCRs to the video capture card. Now I have all of my old videos on my hard drive along with a few backup. It's lots of time and effort but well worth it. Some day I'll have time to edit all of my videos.

Yeah I was really bummed when I learned they pulled out of the GPU market! For many years now I have only bought EVGA video cards and PSUs. They had the reputation of the best service and warranties too.

Looking good here my friend! You are the only person besides myself that I've seen install a water block on a 900P. Looks sweet with two right next to each other! Are they Bitspower blocks?

Nice review! Being Gen 3 shouldn't really make any difference as most people will use this to add massive amounts of M.2 storage. I would love to put four 4 TB SSDs on that bad boy!

... or you could keep your desktop rig and get a midrange laptop for the couch.

I've been thinking of getting the Secret Labs Titan XL due to all the great reviews, but now I have reservations. Tough to decide when you can't try it out.

Very nice!

I'm interested to know from those currently using the 48" size monitors how far away are your eyes from the screen?

I saw that and was temped to pull the trigger myself! It's actually a great deal for someone looking for a Case Labs case.

Well E... bet you weren't thinking this thread was going to go in this direction when you started it

He' probably just spreading FUD so he can buy more crypto at low prices

Came out great! Nice job!

Cool build here! Very retro! I use an external Blu ray burner now when I need one. Just plugs into a USB port. Hardly ever use it now.

Completed by 2042... that seems like such a long ways away.

Here's my 2080ti SLI Port Royal score from 2019 It was inside the top 100 at the time.

Yes nice review for sure @Mr. Fox I like the side facing ports. Not often you see a new concept like that in the PC world. That power supply would work great for many of the Case Labs cases or other wide cases, however it seems like there are many cases that just won't have the room without bending the wires too much.

Welcome!
