It's not that different from what you've used before. If you remember bbcode it works pretty much the same. You'll have to switch to "Full Editor & Preview" if composing in the Quick Reply (you won't lose your text) to get at the Attachments tab where you'll quickly figure out how to u...

The CPU probably doesn't have a lot of sale value now. What about this one? It's micro ATX, but it's cheap

So I actually heard back from Asrock, and they sent me an RMA request form. I am to fill out the PDF. I thought how the Hell am I supposed to do that, I don't have Adobe Acrobat (Adobe can do an acrobatic leap and disappear up their own rectum) Then I remembered reading in release notes a long time ...

Shit that's the Canadian site (and in Canadian dollars) but that same board is listed here too (it was just an example) but there are better choices of shipping origin (e.g. I don't think "Free shipping from Israel" would be a good selling point at this time lol) https://www.newegg.com/p/p...

Amazon would always be my first choice to buy anything nowadays, but newegg seems to have plenty of LGA 1200 socket boards.

This wouldn't be low end:

"Aorus" <--- always reminded me of aorta and anus combined

We've got pretty good image/attachment posting facilities here in phpBB and I have it so you can post relatively large images. The board will scale them, but the data is still there if you right click and view the image in a new tab. However, I've also got a Coppermine photo gallery on my .org domai...

Hey, it looks like we've got Firefox 125 now but no release notes as usual. https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/125.0.1/ Interestingly, it seems they skipped or removed 125.0, it's not in the repository at all. They must have seriously messed something up. I'll get this built then we'll see...

Oh, that would be cool (replacements vs. unnecessarily long extenders) if they weren't shitty. The PSU connecting end is the most important, you wouldn't want to be second guessing that, especially way inside that enclosure. That could cause like EM interference too with that broken sheathing (if ne...

So, in the end I decided that PS/2 to USB converter needed to get the Hell off my USB bus. It was causing latency issues with USB input. It wasn't bothering me gaming, but I'm a fairly fast typer and it was causing some glitchy missed keystroke behaviour and causing mouse latency warnings on the roo...

Oh yeah! That was a good one, I enjoyed it.

(though I don't drink beer, or eat pickled eggs anymore and I wish I could still fart like that )

It was certainly a variant of General_K (possibly GK) but I also recognized TheeRadioDJ or some variant of it, so you may have changed it to that at some point.

Oh, my luck! I haven't seen one of these since the early 2000's, I used to have some customers with bad eyesight that had them. I went to a local computer store that tends to have just what I need, and I'm going through shelves of keyboards, logitech, verbatim, microsoft, unheard of brands... all mo...

Ahh cool, that makes sense with the PCI-E power connectors. In pics, sometimes the angle of view obscures where things are really coming from. Now that's a cool looking build, your personal rig. The figurine looks good in the lighting etc. too. Those cable extenders with the combs are the bee's knee...

It's a viable brand of PSU, a lot of those experts have them in their videos. I'm more leery of alternative brands of video cards, I've had bad experiences deviating from the path.

Well, I do have a nice cake for you. It's a fake one, AI generated, so it will taste like air, sorry about that, but it's a nice one

Just a bump to make sure folks know they can change their board style.

I have the dark coloured, non-fixed width style as the default, but there's also a fixed width variant, as well as both fixed and wide for the light one. Go to User Control Panel and Board Preferences

Welcome to the forum, Jan! To say it's nice to see you would be a gross understatement

(I don't have any lovey dovey smilies or I'd give you one... I'll find more)

LOL yeah, that's cutting it close, those Fractal cases seem to be on the small side. I see you have one of those pain in the hemorrhoids PSU enclosures on that case too. I've seen some boohoo pictures of people that bought big humfucker Nvidia cards only to find they won't go in their cases. Looks n...

I've heard good things about them too regarding their customer service. However, that's exceptionally nice of them and especially in this day and age where companies don't care. You're kind of screwed if you lose modular PSU cables, testing luck with other cables with connectors that may fit can lea...

Well this one never got a chance to have the i/o shield snapped on, as the board was too narrow and the ioport area of the board was about 3/8 inch or so inside the case. There wasn't any other way to mount it, the board could only go in the mounting tray one way and all screws lined up. So, either ...

Welcome to the forum! Great to see you

Hey, wait a minute now:

and the other one currently has the same Intel based MSI board as you have (I'm now using that while working)

Did YOUR motherboard fit in the case properly? (might not be the exact, exact same Fractal Focus case design, even if the model and name are the same)

Heh... someone had to think of that. I haven't seen a 7/11 store in a long time, I used to like them in cities I lived in. They had good little cheeseburgers in foil under heat lamps and stuff. Go there at 4 AM and that was good sustenance :lol: That book cover looks awfully familiar, I think I've s...

Oooohh... fear the AI lol (not even close... what they call "AI" is just machine learning, it's not really intelligence and makes ridiculously bad decisions much of the time. I'm sick of them crowing about it) A lot happens in 40 years though, in 1984 I was a more primitive savage and we h...

Yeah I don't watch much of that shit either, but it caught my curiosity in the feed. (curious what he was going say, not that I was going to learn anything new... but I didn't expect this level of banality)

Now, not to completely ridicule this. The target audience, people who built their PC and don't know their low end graphics card is the reason they are getting 17 FPS, is bollocks. That's not his audience, just Cletus the PC builder types etc. HOWEVER, if his audience were people who buy Dell gaming ...

Wait for it... it's not having a good enough graphics card :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6zGlk8y1Ks A big long video, with theatrics and graphs (and sponsors) to tell gamers that the biggest bottleneck to their gaming is not having a good enough graphics card. I was interested at first, but...

Yes, my red Fractal case has the alignment post.

Thanks for all that info, it actually needs not be Intel hardware. I wouldn't risk an AMD system for myself (very unforgiving, fussier on RAM etc.) but she's not any kind of a power user and we'd save a shit tonne of money.

It's enabled by default in XFCE, I had disabled it. It's a real compositor now I think, in my old XFCE 4.12.0 (on my LFS) I think it's just software rendering for some transparency effects and menu animations etc.

Zema, what boards have you used in those Fractal Focus cases that fit perfectly (i/o shield mates up correctly with back of case) I'm thinking that my sister needs a new computer. She's got an old Nehalem Corei5 with 8 Gb of RAM running Windows 7 and she can't do much with it anymore for reasons obv...
