Versus 6480x3840? Pfft!

Conversation drift in a gaming community is like plate tectonics. It happens, it's inevitable, and nothing you do will exert any control. #MooHaHa!

Yeah. This is why I go multi-monitor. If I DO game, CoH is nigh-unusable at that aspect ratio.

There is no "overkill". There is only "kill" with ever-increasing confidence levels.

Most Trackballs you're going to see on the US market are Logitechs. Their current line are referred to as Ergo. The Ergo M575 is a $50 unit. The MX Ergo is a $100 unit.

Nah. Haven't seen THAT in even longer... *BowChickaBowWow*

So you WERE able to get the ARM stuff running finally?

Phenomenal Cosmic Power! Itty bitty living space!

Min-maxing? *Quickly hides plans for a battlemech with 7 gauss rifles* I know not of what you speak! (Lies! ALL LIES!)

Holy crap! That's the first time I've seen my feet in decades!

You're talking to a guy who played in HS as part of the "tabletop gaming" club. Not the "D&D" club. Because THAT was SATANIC! We were also the Chicago playtest group for the Star Fleet Battles Captain's Edition.

Haven't played VtM since 1E. Loved the initial lore. But the entire thing has become a giant mess over the last thirty years. (CHRIST! Now I feel old...)

Late night arrival!

My ability to fab stuff is severely limited.

Guess what arrived today...

Ah. The old Antec quiet case! Cut my hands up on a bunch of those back in the day...

AFAIK, you can use the APU so long as you're using the interface on the back of the board.

While it might protect the carpet some. I don't have any problems on mine because I have carpet-friendly casters and I keep them scrupulously clean. The mats always (ALWAYS) get brittle within a year or two and start shattering. I've tried pliable ones. I've tried super-thick, super-big, super hard mats, and pretty much everything in between. They all die horribly.

Yeah. Noticing that while these screens are GREAT, 27" 4K at 100% (no) magnification results in nearly unreadable text. And I'm less enthused about Windows screen magnification. I have an office remodel at some point in my future. Have to rebuild a wall. So what I may do is build it into a desk area. Recess the wall a smidge. And replace the trio with one big monitor. Maybe a 120hz TV in the 50-70" range running 4 or 8 K.

https://cox-supergroups.com/Taxis.jpg Dude! This is ME! What do YOU think?

It's actually how I found a place in LA that actually had my Thermaltake Core X9 case, still new-in-box. Trying to find them ANYWHERE else online is damn near impossible.

Gonna be a couple weeks before I have my new rig set up. Will be in one of these cases. Case: Thermaltake Core X9 Motherboard: ASRock X570 Taichi Razer Memory: TridentZ Neo DDR4000 (64GB) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5950X CPU Cooler: Alphacool Eisbaer 420mm AIO Drives: 3x M.2 Samsung 980 Pro (1TB) (OS, SQL, VM/Scratch Disk 4x 10TB Western Digital (RAID10) GPU: Recycling my RTX 2060 because new GPUs are essentially UNOBTAININUM right now. And no blue kitty people in sight! Keyboard: unsure at this point. Will probably start with my Logitech G510 and then figure out what I wanna do. Mouse: Recycling my Steel Series Rival 310 Sound: Recycling my Steel Series Arctis 5 to start. Will think more about it later. So the system's going to wind up looking almost identical to my current rig in the end. Though I might affix the carcass of the second case to the first to stack. Then throw my networking equipment in there. Haven't decided. Oh, and notice the way the monitors don't fit flush? Finally decided I'm sick of that. I ordered a new armature system that'll allow me to better position the screens so I don't get that stupid screen jog. Basically my current box lasted 11 years. And I'm only rebuilding now because the motherboard is in a slow death spiral. So I'm building what is PRIMARILY a workstation rig that should still boot behind in CoH (I don't actually game much beyond that anymore).

Heh.
