Np pic, since itā€™s locked up under my table. No decoration inside, since no one can see it unless I unlock the chain, unplug everything, and drag it out onto a table.

you do realize you can change the rainbow to any color you want or simply turn it off right :P?

RGB definitely makes my PC ā€œfasterā€. :smiley:

disappointed with all the unicorn vomit. the all black build should be the standard for this decade.

you know when I donā€™t look directly at the power cables for the graphics card, it looks like a guy hanging on for dear life in the corner of my eyes xD

I like the little gap in the shades to peak out at whats going on in what some people callā€¦ real life. :laughing:

Those are relics but honestly if you had those some people would pay good money just to collect them lol!

all black is so last decade thoughā€¦ all throughout ~2005-2015 all our computers were boring plain black boxes, before that fabulous silver or colored transparent boxes, and before that strictly business beige boxes D:

But yeah leaving rbg set to default rainbow effect is so meme and usually what you do for the first few weeks of ownership until you decide to settle on a color you like :slight_smile:

me, i like aqua and purple:

Turtle beach sound card. :metal: :metal:

Put her together around 2013/2014 IIRC.

Intel i5-3570K Quad-core running at 3.4 GhZ.
16 Gbs of RAM
GTX 1080 (started with a 680.)

Currently running the OS (W10 Pro) off of 512Gb SSD on the main 6G/S SATA port on the motherboard. Unfortunately the Motherboard is too old to have a native NVME slot.

Have a second 1TB SSD hooked up to the other high-speed SATA port, a 1TB HDD and a 2 TB HDD hooked up to the slower 3G/S SATA ports on the Motherboard.

Recently tossed in a 4-slot PCI NVME Adapter to add a fresh 1TB NVME Drive for gaming.

Iā€™m probably going to back-line this system and may turn it in to a dedicated server for random games for my group of internet friends in the next couple of years and build a new one depending on what kind of improvements AMD/Intel put out in CPUā€™s and once the 3080 shortage goes away.

who has turtle beach o: thatā€™s a name i havent heard since the mid 2000s :stuck_out_tongue: that budget brand for those who couldnā€™t afford creative

I used pic related for years before finally upgrading to my aorus x570. I was glad my case had no tempered glass because this ugly thing was an eyesore.

I havent seen a board like that since my 2004 pc, had an intel branded motherboard and a Pentium 4 HT cpu

Was for an i5-4570. And moving from a 4/4, rx 560 to an 8/16, 2060 super was mind blowing. I couldnā€™t believe how smooth everything felt on ultra.

Was too excited after getting RTX 3080 2 months ago. Did not manage that cable. Two separate 8-pin cables. It will look better once I get my hands on Lian Li Strimer or Adata Prime PCIE cables.

Always crazy to know how far cpus have come in well under a decade in shrinking the die sizeā€¦ makes me wonder if weā€™ll ever see mass produced or consumer processors outside of the laboratory that use the different superconductor elements such as germanium or antimony once we hit the absolute limits of siliconā€¦ crazy to see that TSMC (aka the manufacturer that produces AMDā€™s processors) is now currently producing 3nm commercial processors.

and always sad to be reminded how fast the latency was on even older budget ddr3 ram versus what it is on ddr4 ram. I miss my old cas 5 or cas 7 ram :frowning: regardless of of the fact that overall it was much slower than modern ddr4 ram; it just nice to see these small numbers.
