Picked up a new lower today.
I got a build kit for my birthday and looking to buy a lower ... decent price? Mind sharing where you picked this up?
I just bought a new knife for cutting cheese as I eat a lot of it at work. my little guy just does not give the leverage to cut harder cheeses. it is a hand forged laminated Japanese knife made by the apprentice of the master who made the little guy. I made a little magnetic knife block to put on the fringe for it.
Ummmm.... yeah. (<--- think Lumbergh's voice from Office Space) About that "budget" PC build. It's turned into a powerhouse monster, clearly NOT a budget PC.
I had some issues with the mother board I purchased originally and it's going back for a refund. I replaced it with an Asus x570 board to match the Ryzen 7 3800x CPU. Then since this board and CPU support the new PCIe 4 standard and I saw what the R/W speeds were compared to the "standard" SSD, I just ordered a Corsair Force Series MP600 1TB Gen4 PCIe X4 NVMe M.2 SSD.
"Standard" SSD R/W speeds are around 500 MB/s give or take. The new PCIe 4 R/W speeds are about 5000 MB/s. So yeah, that's kind of a big jump in speeds.

So far from everything I've seen and read about the new PCIe standard, excessive heat has not been mentioned. These SSD's, some of them, and the motherboards that support PCIe 4, come with passive heat sinks. I'm not expecting to have any issues with it at this point.
Nice, but do you really need a knife when there might be a bandsaw nearby?
yes thats true but the thin slices tend to get sucked into the blade. but it does lube the blade for easier cutting.
I'd have thought the heat was in relation to the M2 SSD itself, not so much the adatper/PCI slot it plugs in to?
Nomad Wireless Charger. Picked one up from Offer Up for $50 because paying the full $139 for this is silly. I still think it's overpriced at $50 but it works and it's MFI certified at least.

Some additional photos because I was goofing around with Lightroom on my PC. So used to just using Photos on Mac!

Nice, I've often thought about getting a caravan. The trouble is I don't think it would work without a car.
My glass backed phone now has a glass backed case

It's a black S8 so now it's all colorful.

Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 4k Tablet. This is my second the first one I got was defective. Im so stoked that this one is perfect. I had debated keeping the old one because the defect wasnt a big deal but now that Im done with the exchange and got a perfect one Im glad I exchanged it. This thing kicked my credit card in the nutz.
