The joke bouncing around twitter was that did Linus drop it?

The dent is conflicting, however seeing it in the flesh, I think it looks fantastic. Myself, well its irrelevant as the water block doesn't have a dent but ah well. The rest of the design is stunning. The top plate especially is delicious, that will be staying

Hahaha that’s a good one

I think if it had a few more dents it might look a little better - but I love the design of it

Quick phone snap of the back

I really love the red accent on it, very subtle.

And couldn't help but put it in the case for a minute

That is 7.5cm space between the end of the card and the front of the case. A 30mm rad and fans need to go on there yet. There will be 2cm left...

Who said it was a hardware issue?

Have you tried it with say Windows or just MacOS?

I was thinking of Minesweeper to start and then moving up to the Microsoft Pinball machine game.

:cool:

Jokes aside, the plan is to get back into PC gaming

Some FPS & RTS stuff to start. Its been a LONG time since I gamed on the PC so I need to break myself into it. Nothing competitive. My monitor only clocks up to 75hz anyway. Will go for 144hz monitor next year and then start looking at maybe Overwatch, I do fancy that

Will be better ones out next year. Systems are so costly now though but should last a good 8 years+ if you buy anything decent now. Tech might be on the straight and narrow. Not sure how much they can keep pushing it as heats still a major issue.

Yep, I think am spending about 2.5-3k on this one. But have not built one in over 12 years!

- so its just accumulated haha. But yeah, spec wise it should last for yonks

That figure makes me cringe! Hardware companies must be creaming it in now laughing all the way.

Arguably I could have done this for MUCH cheaper. I have spent 500eur on WC alone

I've not had the option of going balls to the wall with it all before so here we are

What’s that mean in English? I should certainly hope you don’t go balls deep to the wall!

The wall between two toilet cubicles, yes. But he's our Phate and we love him.
