Did I spot moonshine in that bottle What's with the models, figurine things? Like a warcraft role play thing .... Many many years since I done games on xbox Uhm, no. I don't drink moonshine. Doubly so in a special edition water bottle work gave me for Canada's 150th anniversary. As for the minis, which ones? There's two err three different games in there (Hordes (three different armies), as well as Warhammer Fantasy (one army, for now. A big one), and Warhammer 40k (technically three different armies)), then there's the painted ones in front of the keyboards from the Reaper LTPK's.... The metal ones on the cutting mat are part of a semi long term project of mine called "Furiously Fluffy Howling Hounds", the mechanical looking dragon is part of a project called "Wyrmgear, a synthetic image" as I'm doing a few mods and sculpting on him to have him be a hybrid synthetic-mechanical creature... Just a few things. As for why the minis? I got into miniatures war gaming 15 or so years ago (almost 20 years ago now that I think about it). My Xbox isn't anywhere near this stuff, and also isn't plugged into my TV because I have to find an HDMI or component video adapter for it. I'm also more of a Sony guy, if we're talking console gaming ~_^

I've already gone and goofed/corrupted that OS... crap it's been a while.
I'm going to have to load up a few ssd's with the same OS when it really comes down to it.

That's a nice looking setup there Vin! I wish mine had that much room, not to mention was that organized..
... Although mine did get cleaned up somewhat today, along with a bunch of rearranging. Almost got my 3770k setup back up and running as I'm contemplating a few things with it before I finally get that Gigabyte Extreme on the bench...

Would be nice, that's for sure.

Excellent! Wanted to made a deal with this guy to exchange one of his boards for something of mine, he refused. Nice collection. There are some very rare Rise MP6 II in his stack among other things.

Had a fail. Doing too much. Leaning forward over reaching, one finger took the full weight. Bent first knuckle other way. Felt that, tendons are gone Sorry have to quote myself. Worked out now with the borked finger. Thought tendons. Actually broke the finger behind the first knuckle. Healed like a camels hump LoL.

Yes pain guys ... nothing can be done & I'm used to it. Queer finger, ring finger ... broke the small one too before. Ah yes that same hand, wrist shot it with a 90psi 50mm nail/ braiding gun 2 year ago. That's when shit went south. Stiff in the morning like a weener. Near on 6 weeks cannot make a fist, too much resistance there " curling it ". Hindsight should have xrayed/ doctor

OHHHH Happy DAY.....
got it from a co-worker that didn't want to be bothered selling it... once I actually looked and realized there was money there I couldn't accept it for free... that was his initial intent...
gave him a some dollar amounts and he still couldn't be bothered to do the local or ebay sell... asked him for a price... $50...
Gigabyte HD 7850-2GB - $100-$200 Online in the 4870 box is an ATI X850XT - $25 Online - I was sooooo hoping it was a 4870....
Sapphire Radeon X 1950 XTX - $20-$40 Online ATI ALL-IN-WONDER X 800 XT - $ ? all the accessories are in the box... all of them I can't even find a worth on this old dog
glad score....

You got some nice stuff there and the price wasn't too bad either.

I plan on modding (and possibly killing with my recent luck) the older 3 cards. the 7850 will end up in my sons rig... he's been playing games at 5-15fps... his AMD OB GPU just can't keep up anymore...

Don't sweat it, we all have stretches of luck like that. Hopefully yours will change after you start with these.

awesome score vin, done well there i think youll like em when you see them pete, cant really see it in the listing , theyre nickel plated , and the mods sure, but id like to learn how to do it myself, the soldering is no dramas, can do that on me ear, its knowing how to read the schematics and where to go on the pcb is the issue for me

Seems my buddy AlamakLuke is taking a permanent break from Benching.. Stopped in to get a board and RAM from him... turned in to a 20.5 hr drive and 1300Km's traveled all said and done... This is what I cam back with... Hey Paco, remember this? He didn't let me buy this, but I get to "borrow" it. I'm happy we get to keep it in the family
So still no quad in the list. Scotty, you have PM.

Darn, never fun to hear of people taking permanent breaks from something...
I'm so tempted to put a certain motherboard on my OpenBenchTable today... Gorgeous downpour of rain outside, so we're getting 10C ambient air from outdoors, which is a bit of a rarity in June. That and I want to see what my Extreme looks like on it...
