zila1: It was beautiful today Jon. I washed my cars and installed a new radio in my van. Then went to Kostas in Algonquin for a beef sandwich. Great day. Apr 14, 2024 21:02:37 GMT -5

ShrimpBrime: Finally some nice weather. Power washing the siding. Lookin new again! Apr 14, 2024 14:06:06 GMT -5

zila1: Thank you so very much Scotty. That's so nice of you but I'm good. I was just shopping around and thought I would look at EVGA stock. That is a nice PSU though.

Mr.Scott: Eddie, I have a NIB Seasonic Focus 650 I can send you if it fits the bill. Mar 31, 2024 8:15:58 GMT -5

zila1: Honestly, I wouldn't buy anything from them now. Even if I could buy now, I don't think they will be around for warranty. Mar 30, 2024 12:37:50 GMT -5

zila1: Looks like maybe 3rd party vendors may have some stuff but this is not good. Even during the worst days of the pandemic I could buy something in stock. Looks like the death rattle is happening at EVGA. Mar 30, 2024 12:36:22 GMT -5

zila1: I was just at EVGA website. Was looking around for a power supply. Tick the in stock items and everything disappeared. Nothing in stock. Looked at motherboards. Tick for in stock items and shows nothing in stock. Mar 30, 2024 12:34:20 GMT -5

zila1: You're right Jon. I sat her down on my 3950X build and she can't tell the difference. On her new 2700X build she says the desktop is super fast. So another happy camper. It feels good to do something nice for my little sister. Happier than a pig in shit. Mar 20, 2024 13:18:15 GMT -5

ShrimpBrime: Hell yeah. Tons of room for upgrades. 5900 might even be overkill haha Mar 20, 2024 9:06:04 GMT -5

zila1: Thanks Jon. The nice thing is it is upgrade-able. I could put her on a 5900X later and put more ram on it and a faster graphics card later on. That's what I like so much about AM4. Mar 19, 2024 15:21:52 GMT -5

ShrimpBrime: Nice! Good build. Mar 19, 2024 14:33:41 GMT -5

zila1: Oh yeah, also a real nice Havit Keyboard and Mouse combo. Mar 19, 2024 13:02:22 GMT -5

zila1: Mind you........all of this hardware was brand new in box. Mar 19, 2024 13:00:35 GMT -5

zila1: She's blown away. She's been on it all day long. I told her this is slow by today's standards but it IS all brand new stuff I had stored away. It is a very fast little rig just the same. Mar 19, 2024 12:59:29 GMT -5

zila1: Ryzen 7 2700X, Asus X470 Prime Pro, 16GB DDR4 FlareX CL14, Crucial 1TB NVME, EVGA GTX 1070 FTW2, EVGA 850W PSU, Cooler Master HAF912 with 200mm intake/exhaust and 120mm side intake/120mm rear exhaust and an Acer Predator Z301C Ultra wide Monitor. Mar 19, 2024 12:58:10 GMT -5

zila1: I just gave my sister her first newer computer in many years. Her old computer was an FX8350 rig. I took some New Old Stock I had lying around and put something together for her. Mar 19, 2024 12:51:55 GMT -5

ShrimpBrime: I mean it's not over powering, just can get the hint of chlorine. It's far better than we'll water though, I'll take it!! Mar 17, 2024 17:23:54 GMT -5

zila1: That's weird. I would think that would have cleared on it's own with water usage. At least you don't have to worry about bacteria in your water. Mar 17, 2024 16:13:05 GMT -5

ShrimpBrime: When they tore up Dean Street and replaced pipes, I think they over treated the water a bit. Chlorine is bleech. Mar 17, 2024 13:09:23 GMT -5

zila1: After the new parts for the water heater arrive I'm gonna flush it again. Previous owner never did. The burner area under the heater was a dirty mess. Venting nicely now. But the igniter is weak. Water heater percolates too. Some do. Some don't. Mar 17, 2024 11:01:38 GMT -5
