i was considering retiring them in favor of a single 1080ti.

Befote I had my 4090, I had 2x EVGA 1080ti ftw3. Each one was good for about 2mil ppd a day.

In bigred

Not marked but it's two pounds. To use it up before it goes bad or loses flavor, I'll probably switch to this from French vanilla every morning.

No not anymore. It was a cool setup but ultimately not hugely efficient with respect to energy consumption vs PPD.

Yeah, this makes total sense with the 3xxx and 4xxx from Nvidia being such good folders with way less power consumption.

welllllllll, the cards are still being used

 

 

This is cool even if the ppd is out of date. Looks close to my fiancee's 3060. Hat's off to you man, keep it up!

Yeah, the right shift on the Mini Cat 64 is not half size, it's single key sized.

anyone who willingly buys/uses a keyboard with a half-size right shift is not to be trusted 

Yeah, my fiancee uses right shift a lot and had to adjust XD she did eventually though and if I recall, her Mini Cat 64 has a half size right shift or possibly no right shift and she used that for a year straight no problem.

Actually there may be one but it's pretty far out lol. It's currently on loan to my friend while he wait for the Geon F1-8X-V2 GB to arrive (its 10-12months) so probably anywhere from Q1 to Q2 2025 to be fulfilled. By then i may have found something else to replace it. It's an Grey Studio Aero75 in Coffee Brown Ano.

 

Though you are better off just buying something like :

TKD Cycle 8: 150USD Mark

[IC] TKD Cycle8 - A new chapter

GEEKHACK.ORG

[IC] TKD Cycle8 - A new chapter

and Geon F1-8X-FE instead (plastic version of Geon F1-8X): 100USD

F1-8X

GEON.WORKS

The first product to be officially sold to consumers.Plates and O-ring gasket mounts designed with frequency simulations are applied.Since June, 2020, it has been sold only in Korea, and a total of 2900 units...

 

I'm a peon and don't build boards by buying the case and pcb and putting those together before putting in switches and keycaps.

The first custom board I did was a GMMK full size with Box Jades. I added crafter's foam on the inside and a weight to make it more substantial and eliminate the metal clank sound it had stock with switches. Mine came with Gateron Brown switches and the stock keycaps, I feel it was easier and more convenient to just pull keycaps off and pull switches out, then put in the switches it's going to have and the keycaps.

I also don't like or understand the appeal of waiting for years for stuff from Drop or wherever else when I can buy numerous boards off Amazon that are now already multi layered and packed with foam and weights. See the Keynovo/Yunzii if98 I just built for the fiancee for Xmas.

Here's a link to it: Yunzii If98

We actually got the board for $90 on sale.

So I appreciate the way you approach the hobby and your patience, but there's some really really good hot swappable boards on Amazon now. I don't have the patience though I could probably build a board from a case and add the pcb and stabs and everything. Here's how my fiancees build turned out.

I also have no clue other than the links you posted where people get stuff or find out about the expensive boards, switches and keycaps. Building a custom one off Amazon or a Keychron already costs over $200.

This was a cool read and I'm envious of the older server hardware.

Is this thing still in use?

All that matters is the word hand me downs/freebies lol.

 

 

If you have any boards you don't need, I'll take them, and some tactile switches to put in

At the current rate, too many switches released on daily basis (with the current trend being magnetic hall effect switches). Same situation with keycaps and more vendors carrying less and less.  Also running more and more sales to offload inventory. You can find GMK sets now for bargain basement prices. There's almost no point to buying the amazon keycaps to be honest. That and too many people entered the hobby and now have too much excess and they are leaving completely and downsizing at minimum. So many bargain available now.

 

I literally gave away for free an Matrix 8xv 3.0 (Mcflurry), Promise Bespoke (Red) and Neo70 (Blue) just recently as part of my own downsizing effort to make room for new stuff.

 

The bottom has been reached for custom with Neo and it various competitors releasing aluminum chassis with nice colors/quality control and multiple mounting options (plateless/o-ring/gasket) and foam/no-foam. All layout being covered too - eventually Neo full size is coming in near future too. All around 100-150USD Range. Then there's the upcoming Geon F1-8X-FE which will be under 100usd but have the sound/feel of the alumiunum/brass internal weight F1-8X TKL

*Raises hand to buying Amazon PBT keycaps, usually character themed*

*Also raises hand to only buying Kailh box clicky switches*

You seem very knowledgeable but I won't lie, your posts are like Chinese to me. A bunch of switches and stuff I've never heard of

It'd be pretty great if dye sub were an option for hoodies as well. I would think they'd be popular and sell well for you too. I know more then one person has said they want one.

I guess let us know here if you work on it and come up with something sellable by testing it and so on.

Thanks.

Hey E any chance of hoodies anytime soon?

Thanks again, E.

Thanks E!

I'll be getting a black one for sure and replace my current desk mat

We looked on Amazon and you can get those vacuum seal containers for a lot less, unless there's something else that makes the one you linked special.

All our coffee is ground and most is stored in the fridge. Heathens that we are.

My looseleaf tea is all stored in bags in a cupboard though. But there's really nowhere else here to put the coffee.

Most people here have a preference for clicky, me included, but tactiles redeem you Welcome to the club.

I'm not a big tactile fan from trying Gateron Browns, but I'm curious/interested in Kailh Box Royals.

Linear eh? We don't like your kind around here.

Nice! What type of switches in each? I love the red one.

Hey @Slaughtahouse

We store our coffee in the fridge, my mom had always done it this way because she thinks it keeps it more fresh.

I am wondering since you're the resident coffee expert if this is true, or if it's bad to do because of moisture in the fridge etc.

Thanks buddy.

Here's a comparison between the Kraken Keyboards keycaps and the YMDK ones:

Well, as you stated Pook and as Supercrumpet has told me in Discord, the new keycaps don't shine through either.

However they are much higher quality, I thought they had a purple to black gradient but it's actually light purple on top to dark purple on the bottom.

I think they look better, they're better quality, it's a shame about the south facing LEDs though.

Hmm, we'll see when I put them on. Thanks. Fiancee will be upset if they aren't noticeably better...

Kraken Keyboards calls this "shine through"

I know it kinda looks like the purple keys shine through but IRL they don't. So I ordered this set from YMDK:

Purple graident. They're supposed to come tomorrow so I'll put them on, though my back has been killing me lately so it might not be tomorrow.

Hey @ENTERPRISE

Can we get a black deskmat with the printing offset to the bottom, using the ExtremeHW logo? I use an RGB deskmat but would love to switch to a EHW mat. However, the one offset to the top will more or less be ruined by my Ultrawide bring right there and it being behind my keyboard.

If it's offset to the bottom, it won't be covered by my keyboard like it would with the middle one or top offset one.

Thanks

Great Foldathon guys and gal, and our team moved up two ranks.

Thank you firedfly and damric for running it. Too bad I can't do any prizes this time. Maybe in a few months.
