Awards? Is this another neat post bit thing? *Looks down after posting. Congrats though guys! Looks like we settled in at 7th place! Better than last year, and we put the hurt on those guys. They KNOW we're here now. EDIT: Awards look snazzy! Thanks @ENTERPRISE!

Your 69 just rolled over and switched sides. Nice!

Perfect. Been telling you to get that going. No better time than now. Well........yesterday would've been better.

Cheapazz Chipz is coming up soon.

I'm sure I could do better. Dirty dirty gaming install, nothing closed, full YOLO send it at stock / my normal GPU OC to prevent overheating. Was going to submit to hwbot but not worth it with such a bad score.

That whole article was so punny I forgot to laff. I don't blame them though, with a foldable PC, how could you not? I'd want to run F@H on it just for the lols of it myself.

For anyone following along with my thrifting finds...... I found the same Pioneer VSX 504 receiver my dad gave me years ago! $19.99 at the thrift store. TONS of power too, 135w RMS x 5 @ 8ohm (and 2ohm stable, claiming 350w RMS, although I think those numbers are a LITTLE fudged). Had a video uploaded showing (best I could) how loud it got at very little volume levels on the knob, but apparently H265 doesn't work on site?

I had completely forgotten about flash video. Good idea. Also.....Amazon store listing for the device in question (found on french Amazon), claims the following: "Format vidéo: AMV / AVI" So I would shoot for amv format, more info about .amv format: Otherwise, maybe just shoot for a standard mpeg compression in an avi container maybe?

Thank you. It's kiddo's build, he loves Lego's and Dinosaurs. I feel like I could've spruced the build up a little better, but its fine.

Have you tried divx? That was very popular with mp3 players in the avi container.

Thank you. I had fun with it as best I could. It's seriously not a bad cooler at ALL, it just didn't have that "flair" to make up some neat backstory or themed build with it was my biggest problem. Glad it was a good read.

@LabRatyou forgot to post your score here. -_- /img/logo.png LabRat810`s 3DMark2001 SE score: 2354 marks with a GeForce4 MX 4000 PCI (64bit) HWBOT.ORG The GeForce4 MX 4000 PCI (64bit)scores getScoreFormatted in the 3DMark2001 SE benchmark.

Some really good lookin' boards there.......

My phone was $80, Google Pixel 4XL. Is it the newest phone? No. Does it make phone calls? Yes. All this talking of "maturing"..... iPhone = Android as far as ease of use. Period. You can grab a cheap or expensive Android, turn it on, install apps. It's that easy. Just like the iPhone. You don't HAVE to customize your icons, flash custom ROMs, change themes........you don't have to do all the customizable stuff. Androids work just as easily as iPhones do out of the box. That argument is definitely "debunked". Androids have the ABILITY to do those things, yes (if you buy the right one). I don't normally agree with @UltraMega very often, but yeah that's something I've noticed. As I've personally "matured" (LOL), I've found I "waste" less money on useless stuff like what phone I'm using. My phone makes phone calls and it runs the apps I NEED it to run. I don't NEED the latest and greatest $1500 smart phone to run a browser and my banking app, and to make phone calls. Seriously, I was running a dumb phone for 3 years until a few months ago......and THAT phone worked fine for me. You want to "mature"? Be smart with your money. Now.....buying HARDWARE I don't need on the other hand............ yeah shutup.

I wonder why you're experiencing so much eye strain with the 32's. 32" and 1440p is relatively large pixel pitch, kind of like a 27" 1080p panel. With that said, have you tried messing with the scaling options in Windows yet?

Best this chip is going to do, unfortunately best one in the house without trying to bin some 148's. Tried DDR500 sticks, IMC couldn't hang so went back to 4x1 since I wasn't going much past DDR400 anyway. We need one more Opteron for Socket 939. Anyone have one?

You really need a webcam or capture card or something. I REALLY want to see that running.

I just let them know, the spreadsheet should get fixed. @LabRat we've got you down for an MX4000 now. Holding you to at least that one sub. Got 13 days.

I will openly admit, my comment about gang bangers originally was a smart aleck response. That's just how I am, I joke around a lot. The rest though, like I said, was just trying to help. If my comments are a little to brazen, as I said too, I'll happily back off and not comment again. You seemed like you were curious why nobody was commenting about it, so I was trying to help, while still being me.

It was just some constructive criticism. It's not an adult toy, you don't have to take it so hard. I was only trying to help you progress. "You don't post it on social media".....ummmm, what is a forum? Again, I was only trying to help you get even better. I wasn't being mean or anything. There's some things to take creative liberties with, and some things that really shouldn't be. Company logos and fonts are one of those that really "shouldn't be" in most situations. You also completely skipped my opinion about the graffiti idea. Have you ever thought about painting any of your equipment? Modding it? I think that'd be a great use of your graffiti skills! Modding of PC parts with artwork would absolutely get more attention than photoshop work, and graffiti, as I mentioned can be VERY expressive and beautiful. EDIT: It does appear that I might have upset you though. So, with that said.....I'll go ahead and back off. If you're not wanting constructive criticism from me, I'll go ahead and stay out of it from now on and not say a thing.

Constructive Criticism: Know your audience and also know the company (or companies) you're representing in your image. Brand recognition is a big thing with companies, and that includes getting their logos, fonts, and colors correct. This doesn't mean you can't get creative, but usually it means leaving the logo / text in the logo alone. I think that's the biggest issue I personally see with the image above, is that the text and fonts don't match the companies represented in it. Graffiti art, actual graffiti can actually be pretty neat and expressive. I could see why legibility would be a concern when talking about brand recognition. Graffiti might be a better solution to try on something else. I mean honestly, it'd be kinda neat having a tagged up graphics card or something like that. Kind of like we used to get with the gamer anime girl stickers on GPU's. Or maybe even a case mod or something.

You must have some of the most educated and talented gang bangers in your area then......... Just saying, that really doesn't look like any type of graffiti I've ever seen.
