  1. I agree with that, though unless I need peripherals, I'm usually closer to $2000-$2500.
  2. I assume you meant Fractal Era 2? All this SFF talk makes me wonder if I should have gone in that direction. My highest priority other than an acceptable level of performance is near silent operation, and I've always assumed SFF would run hotter, and thus louder.
  3. They need to get in line.
  4. There is no such thing in the GPU marketplace. You can kick around the idea of upgrading piecemeal versus building anew, but we all know how this is going to end. On something that old, everything is a chokepoint, which means you'll never get the full benefit of any upgrades.
  5. In real world practical use, the difference between CL30 and CL36 DDR isn't noticeable, and I did not feel that it was worth the added expense. I prefer the look of Corsair Vengeance but it wouldn't really be visible once it is installed.
  6. After sitting on the fence for a couple of months, I went ahead and bit the bullet. I changed my aesthetic and decided that this will be a minimal RGB build, but gave myself the option on some components. I also scaled back slightly on the GPU, while splurging a little bit in other places. I wish I had bought the 5070ti a couple of months ago, but the RX 9070 XT isn't that much of a downgrade, and is the best value going right now. For my use, it will be more than adequate. I don't need a lot of storage, so the one drive should be fine, and I have two Samsung SSD 970 EVO 1TBs in my current rig that I can use for rotating backups. Everything should arrive by next weekend.
  7. That doesn't make her a bad host of Top Chef.
  8. So what? She was likely not going to fuck you anyway.
  9. I just finished binging the entire season over the past couple of weeks. It was a really good season, and it's always nice when the best chef wins it. As for Kristen, she looks like the love child of David Bowie and his little China girl, but I think she is a great host. She is not Padma, but she isn't trying to be, and that should be okay. If you are only watching the show for T&A, then yeah, your enjoyment has probably taken a hit.
  10. Let me do the math.
  11. Debatable.
  12. You said this already, and it was refuted by the post immediately following yours. I don't know which is correct, but I'm not counting the cup until we have won the cup.
  13. Stanley Richard
  14. I can see that. Regardless, I'm very happy with vanilla.
  15. I don't doubt that at all. What I found amusing was the take that hiring Sarkisian rather than Leach would have been a significant downgrade. Lucky for us, Sarkisian stayed put at 'Bama until we called.
  16. This didn't age well. I wasn't receipt hunting. This is just where I apparently stopped following this thread.
  17. You have a point about my opinion being 5 years old, but like you, I'll stick with it and keep enjoying great food when I'm in town. If it is so terrible, then why the fuck are you eating it twice a month?
  18. I generally opt for seafood inspired dishes when I eat at La Playa, but I've had their cheese enchiladas, and like every other dish I have had there, there is nothing inedible about them, granted I have not been since pre-COVID. I have not had their crispy tacos, but they are on the menu, and suspect they are edible as well.
  19. What do you consider good basic Tex-Mex?
  20. Losing sucks. Give people time to vent, cool off, and see reason. Patience isn't our strong suit.
  21. Avatar checks out.
  22. I was going to put this in that thread, but did not find it after a brief search, and then I decided that too many good programs get easily missed when handled that way.
