Agreed. It looks sick. I'm jealous. I really love the temperature monitor on the front.

it was really a pain to get it! ordered it from a shop in NL they ordered it in DK, it shipped from SE, i have another one without the LED panel, that one only cost 32 euro so was lucky with that!  the one with panel was 92 euro. They have mesh front panels too but at the time only the closed ones

I've owned the Mustang for just over a week now so obviously it's time to start modifying it. ðŸ˜‚  I already bought an HKS super sequential BOV, just needed an intercooler pipe with the correct flange to mount it. Eventually I'll also replace the stock hotside intercooler pipe as well as upgrade the lntercooler itself to a much larger unit.

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).  :wheee:

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?

My recent purchase was some thin wall telescoping aluminum tubing... sounds boring right?

 

Background:

Recently, as some of you may know, storms destroyed my old OTA antennas and bent my tower...  I bought a temporary antenna, that ended up being permanent thanks partially to improvements in broadcast quality in my area, but mostly due to it works and I don't have a grand to invest at the moment.  There was one snag... a big snag... One channel broadcasts on VHF now, VHF LO at that... very few decent sized antennas can receive VHF LO, but to make it worse, this channel is on channel 2 (54-60mhz)... Lovely... Yesterday, I solved my problem by making my own VHF LO dipole antenna and attaching it to the vhf hi dipole that came with the GE Pro.  Since there are no vhf hi stations in my area I wasn't worried about interfering with vhf hi reception.

 

Purchased tubing to perform mod: linky

signal quality before the mod was 0% after the mod it is 91%

 

GE antenna used: Linky

 

For the record,

The GE pro antenna in the pic is a lot better than I thought it would be for the price, on UHF anyway.  I live 60 miles out from my UHF stations and I have great signal with this, not much less than I had on the tower even.... I was planning on going with the best of the best which would be either the channel master 4228HD or 91XG, but this thing really impressed me at the price and it is super easy to perform mods on.

Built wife a PC for office/homework with spare parts, and a "cheap" 34" Ultrawide. Picked up a 3060 12GB for $250 at Microcenter to finish it. She needs speakers for her lectures (masters degree program..) and it turns out the monitor speakers are DOA. Too late to return to Microcenter, and not worth the hassle of RMA.

 

So that means she got my Klipsch 2.1 ProMedia setup, you know, because I'm so generous and make great financial decisions (rather than buy her a cheap $20 set of office speakers), and I went and grabbed..

Meant to post this a while ago and I guess I never did. The thirst for more storage every couple of years continues. I've now exhausted the BarraCuda Pro line and I got this one for only $140. I guess Toshiba N/X300 (Pro) comes next.

 

This one finished WinRoboCopy file transfers rather quickly. It was done overnight, whereas my previous 12 TB BarraCuda Pro took somewhere between 16-24 hours it felt like. Either I have a foggy memory or there could have been something wrong with my 12 TB.

Back in the day I was interested in the Fury X and to see how HBM memory would work out but I did what most people did and bought the 980ti instead ðŸ˜‚

 

Got this for a good deal because it just has the block, no stock cooler (fine by me since I watercool everything anyway). Also pictured is a G3258 that I picked up in a lot of CPUs. I actually owned a pair of G3258s back in the day and had a bit of fun with them. Now that I'm more into HWBOT I wanted to play with one again for some points.

I use the 1tb version of that in my laptop which replaced the OEM SK Hynix 256gb model it came with (can't recall the model but it was not nearly as fast as the P31).  It's been rock solid and I bought it for the same efficiency reasons.  I'm usually a Crucial fanboy as not one of my ssd's from them going back to what, 2011 with my 128gb Crucial M4, has failed thankfully.
