  1. @tictoc I wanted them so much. Bit they were either too big or too small for my build.
  2. Good day all, I want to start a book club Myself I'm into sci-fi, detective and novels likes of Grisham. I do most of my books via Audible. My all time favorite as of right now is expeditionary force by Craig Alanson and as stated before John Grisham. I am currently re-listening to Fear Saga by Stephen Moss Purpose of this thread is to see how many of you are interested and may be eventually it will become section by itself if we have enough people. I think when you post a suggestion for books for someone else to read/listen we should include following Is it your current read/listen Post synopsis How many books in series if any Your take Why would you suggest book/series So as I said before I currently listening to The Fear Saga by Stephen Moss. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out. Their technology is vastly superior to ours, and they know they cannot possibly lose the coming conflict. But they, like us, have found no answer to the destructive force of the atom, and they have no intention of facing the onslaught of our primitive nuclear arsenal or the devastation it would wreak on the planet they crave. So they have flung out an advance party in front of them, hidden within one of the countless asteroids randomly roaming the void. They do not want us, they want our planet. Their Agents are arriving. 3 books in series it is an interesting take how aliens vs humanity and it takes more than one nation to succeed to achieve a goal to survive I am an idealis, I believe that borders and nations should disappear in order for us to progress and achieve our potential. I do strongly believe that in order for humanity to survive we need to abolish our differences and become united as species. It is relatively light listen that would keep you engaged and entertained for hours and will keep you guessing what will happen next.

  6. Welllllll, I hope I will be able to finish this build by the end of the week, with minor tweaks down the line (when cables from China arrives) I am hoping with new fitting I will be able to achieve a drop in side mounted rad by few mm, that will allow commander pro to go on top and route everything there at this point I am exhausted mentally as I just want to finish this. Needless to say, fingers cross emergency order #3 will arrive by Friday or Monday as I will have extra days off as I have a visit to dentist on Friday for 2 wisdom teeth removal and will have 5 days off.

  7. There is an unfortunate developments happening with build. A. Screen either needs go on outer case or be returned, unfortunately it is no possible to install it anymore inside the case. If to install in outer case. I'll need to set up an entire outer case at which point, I'll order entirely different screen from aliexpress. B. I might need to cheat on metal tubing and install soft tubes for side rad as I'm completely clueless on how to approach latch system of inside case. With all cables it is getting really tight inside C. My custom cables arrived from China, but guy forgot to sent me one cable, so I'll have to wait for new delivery from china.. Couple of pictures from my evening walk and some early fitting times.
  8. I hear you say, you have old m.2 sata ssd but you don't want to use precious m.2 pcie connections on you motherboard, but don't want to toss old drive, ow boy, I have some good news for you today. Sabrent, yea those guys who makes rocket ssds... apparently they also have some interesting accessories. Please meet m.2 ssd to sata2.5 enclosure, model ec-m2sa. Really important as they have couple other versions. One of the best things I ran into in last couple of years
  9. So since forum was down, some of you might of saw this pictures already, but at the same time , i didn't do much progress Couple of updates, I got new ram, Crucial Ballastix 32GB cl16, it finally came back in stock I finished swapping gpu cooler and ran a test run for size, In the last picture, there is a little surprise that came this morning and it fits like a glove. I also went to a farm and met a new friend, say hi to him I will be doing a bit of build update over next 3 days. I am just waiting for last order from EKWB There was couple of disappointments , my xflow rad didn't fit, so i had to make an emergency purchase from PPCs (HELLOAGAIN-10 for 10% discount) I also did some organization of my work area so new pc for fresh new start
  10. Good day all, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestion for 96 key keyboard that is hot swappable Preferably under 100-150 usd, bluetooth is a good option, but not detrimental It can be by parts, but at least plug and play, or relatively easy copy paste coding I know about MXRSKEY 96U from KPRepublic and other of aliexpress I am leaning towards EPOMAKER SK96S with optical switches Thank you
  11. That is some bawler specs for monitor. It's with 10 bit with 1.07b colour. 600 nitts and 180 refresh (probably in display port only) and it is gsynch. Not too bad for a brand new monitor
  12. I second dell's s2721dgf Or if you can slightly stretch your budget LG 27GL83A-B 27 Amazon special Samsung LC27JG56QQNXZA (last generation but essentially almost top of the line) Alternatives are dell S2721HGF and LG 27GN650-B 27 Samsung g5 27 inch Lenovo L27q-30 27 Inch QHD Monitor this is great on specs for video, but 75hz only
  13. There might be a light at the end of tunnel “Break the problem down into manageable pieces, then solve each piece. Think of the problem as an enemy, and defeat them in detail.” ― Craig Alanson, Paradise So here is my solution Find a guy who will buy my RTX3080 at inflated price that will be enough to cover a purchase of other guy EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 (this card specific) Send email to EK to cancel the order, go to watercool official store (because retail dont have any) and order heatkiller v for EVGA XC3 card, have fingers crossed and pray like no tomorrow I won't be scammed or beaten to death. if I won't post in 24 hours, call the cops ?
  14. Hey hey hey, I heard blow up dolls in demand on this forum. not a blow up doll I have ryzen 9 3950x aorus x570-i custo. Wrapped tu 150 case acool 120mmby 40mm rad ek flat res 120mm d5 pump Some headphones mmmm that's for now I think.
  15. Better late than never ? So far it has been a blast ? Some random picture I took
  16. Uh yes. Those are really good. Got first shipment today of rad and some minor parts. Will be looking at options for cut in side panel or entire new side panel like in picture
  17. Ow finally that looks pleasing. At last minimalism won. Also rip off from Apple a bit. Looks really good
  18. Long story short for today, It was a write off, I decided to keep EKWB block and will be using @Avacado approach to hack and slash Currently looking into how to work around it and what type of shroud to create If anyone has some sort of small cover handy or know where to buy let me know please
  19. It is a special edition maple syrup... spiced with vodka ?
