...'this and that'
- needed a new coffee mug (the old one capitulated ...), some Sumatra-roast Starbucks coffee, and some Merlot to wait out the wind storm that's raging outside. Also: A specialized screwdriver set for cell phones and tiny cameras...I can't believe the size of some of those screws, but I actually managed to take the camera apart to place a new akku.

A 5800x to replace the 3950x in the main system.
The 3950x will go in another system where it'll fold 24/7.

Just got an EVGA notify for this.  Now I just need to buy the rest of the parts to setup a water cooling system...and figure out how to do that

Won the Shuffle yesterday. Should I have actually made the purchase? Probably not. Did I? Well here I am, posting in this thread.

So how much do one of these run these days? Assuming got it from the notify queue?

AmScope SM-4NTP

7X-45X Simul-Focal Stereo Lockable Zoom Microscope on Dual Arm Boom Stand with light ring and .7 Barlow Lens for wider FOV

 

SMD soldering without a microscope is a pain in the ass.  I still want to buy a camera for it.

Yeah but they are all like that. It's usually a low price for the item but shipping is jacked up. I was able to save about $100 with this, even with the high shipping the next cheapest one was like $250, so not so bad after all.

It was from the notify queue.  I wasn't expecting to get the notification this quickly!  1300 +tax and shipping.

I think the equivalent 3080ti is $1420ish?  Either way, not too different in price.

Was more thinking the fake $1199 MSRP. Just amazing. I feel lucky to have snagged a 3070 for $650 on a drop last year. Looks like it MSRP's closer to $1k now.

I'll take some more when or if I get my Extreme back from Newegg after then rejected my return due to the broken GPU lock. Only been waiting since the 30th from them to even ship it back.

After having used HD650s for nearly a decade, finally an upgrade.

A bunch of water cooling parts.  Still need to get tubing, but I should be able to get that locally.
