D'Jango doesn't get free stuff, he gives me free stuff 

Well it weighs about 50lb so we will get him on shipping!

Speaking of this free stuff thing I did just get this really cool (and official) pentagon jacket. 

 

And DOD Top-Secret clearance to go along with it.

Those risers are not cheap for just being a cable.

Oops!

Nope...but they save you tons of frustration later.

 

Besides, I saved more money by getting one of our favourite coffee at 50 % off   ...chocolates on sale, too

Just got a refund on my 2x 4TB 2.5" HDD's that were giving me POST problems on 2 seperate rigs, and ordered myself an 8TB and 6TB 3.5" drives instead to finish 2 rigs instead of one.   Spinny rust is spinny rust, so I guess I don't "need" RAID......

Not only that man, but 3x Opteron 180's for $150?  That's $50 each just for the CPU's.  That ALONE is a steal.  Now I need to figure out what a Socket 939 blade can do.  I have space on my rack, I could put those in my rack.  I'm just not sure what they're capable of doing.

...does that case fit an Asus TUF 4090 ?

hey @iamjanco, can you measure my 4090 please

a 4090 TUF OC is two to four hands in length, depending on whose hands you use to measure it. 

 

that's in contrast to ~1.25 average length feet, placed one in front of the other, lengthwise:
