Littlepip 29-Nov-18 01:17 PM

lmao

Yeh, nice amount of padding

Also was a box in a box

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 01:19 PM

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 01:19 PM

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 01:19 PM

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 01:19 PM

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 01:40 PM

Rtx card

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 01:59 PM

looking slick

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 01:59 PM

I thought I got scammed for a sec, I was like. Where are all the ports? What is this thing, why are the fans here

Then I realized I was looking at the bottom of the pc where the fans/ big filter is

n was like o

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 02:06 PM

it's an interesting case design

botton panel intake as opposed to front panel

better for tempered glass viewing

i think

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 03:41 PM

Its beatiful in person

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 03:42 PM

is that was meeting god is like?

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 03:42 PM

Almost brought a tear to my eye

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 03:43 PM

haha

what's up with the desk btw, looks like water or something?

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 03:43 PM

Nah

Its an old clothes drawer

Picked it off side of road to use as a desk, came like that

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 03:44 PM

haha gotcha going for that modern RGB, yet rustic look

but yeah sick pc man, did it have a lot of bloatware installed?

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 03:47 PM

Bloatware?

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 03:47 PM

like unwanted programs

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 03:47 PM

Nah. Well all it has is well. Ill take pic i guess

Some basic stuff

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 03:48 PM

well those are just shortcuts, maybe check the programs and features

it's probably clean

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 03:48 PM

Candy crush

Lol

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 03:48 PM

haha

like sometimes they ship with shitty norton antivirus

and DVD playback software and stuff like that

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 03:49 PM

No norton here it seems

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 03:49 PM

awesome, good to know. skytech does it right then

or is it ibuypower

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 03:50 PM

Skytech

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 03:51 PM

do you know the brand/model of the PSU?

Littlepip 29-Nov-18 03:51 PM

Nah, but it has rgb lol

Didny even notice

Said 700w bronze 80+ on amazon page though

ToTimesTwoIsToo 29-Nov-18 03:54 PM

gotcha

SuperSoaker420 03-Dec-18 06:03 PM

You usually always want to re-install stock OS your PC came on prebuilt with. Just in case.

A clean new build is always a good thing.

oscar 29-Jan-19 05:38 AM

@Littlepip how is that prebuilt pc going? I’m thinking of buying one myself but from ibuypower

Littlepip 29-Jan-19 07:58 AM

Wot

the Skytech one?

BrianK 07-Feb-19 07:49 PM

is their a gallery with all of the recent setups

+ specs?

would love to see a few.

Mark 07-Feb-19 07:52 PM

I mean I'll show you mine haha but it's so bad it might be bad for your health

Littlepip 07-Feb-19 07:52 PM

I built my new one

that skytech one messed up

Mark 07-Feb-19 07:53 PM

oh shit it's done??

Littlepip 07-Feb-19 07:54 PM

Yes

Mark 07-Feb-19 07:56 PM

got pics? or is it the one from november

Littlepip 07-Feb-19 07:58 PM

Yes I can take some, I got that skytech one from november returned already though

It has no rgb although I could add some if i wanted, RGB bothers my eyes anyway. got a 2080 rtx en route to here as well, using that 960 temporarily

the hanging cable is for the 2080 which comes in couple of days, otherwise i wouldnt have left it like that

nzxt h500 case , its just a box really

Mark 07-Feb-19 08:05 PM

damm nice that 960 looks a little out of place in there though haha

i've only ever seen that case with like stupid amounts of rgb so it looks a little strange without any lol not that it's a bad thing

Littlepip 07-Feb-19 08:07 PM

yup itd be very easy to add too, and the 2080 coming does have a little rgb

I dont mind a little, the motherboards brand name glows and its cool, its not super flashy but its nice to see it

hm bad pic

total price adding up to 1785$,

Mark 07-Feb-19 08:12 PM

yo my wallet just caught on fire after I read that holy shit

you think the h500 case is any good? I'm still in the stock case for mine and I was considering maybe getting something better

like how is cable management etc.

Littlepip 07-Feb-19 08:14 PM

Very easy to work with, it was my first build and you cant see much

The only issue issue i had was stripped screws, or really tough screws

Id found a screwdriver more suited eventually though , right at the end

Mark 07-Feb-19 08:15 PM

ok i can respect the noctua fans

Littlepip 07-Feb-19 08:16 PM

had standoffs preinstalled too, although i had to move one for the mini atx

not sure if all cases come like taht

also easy led lights and power on connectors all in one at the bottom right there

if there were no screw issues id highly reccomend the case though

maybe i just got unlucky

Mark 07-Feb-19 08:19 PM

was yours just because of your screwdriver? or like they are just cheaply made

Littlepip 07-Feb-19 08:19 PM

I think it was the screwdriver

Because id found a slightly fatter one and it worked perfect

also it might cost more than some prebuilts but it has reputable parts, and i know all about it now

no weird chinese psu that blows up

Mark 07-Feb-19 08:23 PM

damn lmao im chinese and im offended

alright im going to take your word for it. It's not that expensive on amazon surprisingly

Littlepip 07-Feb-19 08:25 PM

yeah check some reviews on the case as well, in fact a more in depth video on the case came out like a day or two after i built my pc

Littlepip 12-Feb-19 11:12 AM

Finally got 2080 in there

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 03:33 AM

I ordered an 980ti to upgrade the 270x I've had for 4 years. :P @Littlepip (edited)

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 03:34 AM

270x?

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 03:35 AM

Yeah, an old R9 270X.

It used to be a lesser known budget GPU back in 2015, which is when I built my PC.

I haven't had any problems with it! I never found a game it wouldn't run.

It's just that I wouldn't hit that 60fps constantly sometimes.

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 03:52 AM

Never heard of it

lol

thats quite an upgrade though

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 03:55 AM

well the 290x was made in 2013, it's 2GB VRAM to a 980ti superclocked 6GB 2016 :P

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 03:55 AM

i went from amd 4850 series card to a 960 gtx to a 2080 now

new pc of course

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 03:56 AM

that first upgrade was tough

lmaoo

but that 2080

though

what monitors are you running?

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 03:57 AM

it was a dell 60hz monitor, still works fine

now im using a viewsonic 144hz 1080p monitor

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 03:57 AM

i'm thinking of getting a kickass monitor

1440 144hz ultrawide

at least 27"

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 03:58 AM

Hmm

yeah id like to try one eventually

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 03:58 AM

my brother got a fucking ridiculous shit

$1k for 100hz 35" 1440p

but that shit's i n s a n e

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 03:58 AM

ew..

2 big and pricey for me lol

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 03:59 AM

it's fucking huge

nooo but it's great

the advantage is so ridiculous lol

i think he even told me you can split the monitor into two

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 03:59 AM

well if i had the money id try it

I think theres some 4k tvs here but id have to move my whole pc to plug them in

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:01 AM

4k TVs for PC?

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:01 AM

I dunno forget i said that lol

i thought id be able to just plug em in no?

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:05 AM

You can with HDMI

It's just that there's always been talk of input lag/response time gaming on a TV.

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:05 AM

oh it wouldnt be for gaming though, just to like look at pretty stuff

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:06 AM

Then you're good then

I have a TV I can use for enterteinment but I'm having problems with my setup right now

I can only use it from my TV and I've honestly haven't had any chance

to watch anything

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:07 AM

problems?

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:07 AM

I need a desk

I'm already looking into ikea stuff

But I'd have to dish out $200-$300

Plus another $100 on a chair

And I just bought my GPU so that'll have to wait

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:08 AM

oh, and i could use a desk as well now that i think about it. im using this old drawer we picked up like 10 yrs ago and it has tiny bumps so i cant get perfect mouse movement

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:08 AM

that fucking sucks

my desk is ~19 years old

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:08 AM

im still good at games though i think id be better without the bumps tho

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:08 AM

so I really want/need a new desk

tired of this one

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:09 AM

let us get a new desk soon my friendy

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:09 AM

Agreed

I'll send a picture of how my station looks right now

Once I get the desk (couple of months) I'll let you know how the new one looks

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:12 AM

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:12 AM

but it honestly looks garbo to how it used to look

yeah

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:12 AM

I didnt know such a thing existed

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:12 AM

all my peripherals are Corsair

ughhh

quality goes down on the picture

video looks better

w/e

I got a really nice vapor wave setup I should probably showcase

Wallpapers, Chrome theme, the custom keyboard layout, how it changes between games

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:15 AM

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:16 AM

Nice!

That's really tight though haha

Damn, Discord is eating image quality a lot

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:17 AM

Id have the inside of the pc showing but i need my mouse wire at a certain angle to have mouse movement

Cant move pc to right cause theres not a lot of sitting room cause the drawers

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:17 AM

Littlepip 02-Mar-19 04:17 AM

Id just turn off the rgb light prolly when gaming

💕 コード：002 💕 02-Mar-19 04:21 AM

You can find them for cheaper though, don't let the price set you off

shitty picture but I had a pc built for me by Memory Express, which is a canadian pc parts store

been working really well and it's a pretty clean build, you can pick your own parts on their store and their prices are competitive

so if you're from canada they can be a good option to look into

Mark 07-Mar-19 09:26 PM

nice looks spicy, lack of flashy rgb tho lmao

💕 コード：002 💕 08-Mar-19 05:20 AM

nice build!

my new GPU

ToTimesTwoIsToo 08-Mar-19 09:59 AM

@💕 コード：002 💕 looks good. How'd you get that 980ti? Was it used?

💕 コード：002 💕 08-Mar-19 11:03 AM

New from EVGA, special deal from /r/buildapcdeals. $189.99.

It's an 980ti ACX 2.0 SC+ 6GB

@ToTimesTwoIsToo

ToTimesTwoIsToo 08-Mar-19 11:09 AM

wow can't believe they still have stock on those. Is it refurbished or B stock or what?

@💕 コード：002 💕

💕 コード：002 💕 08-Mar-19 11:13 AM

just regular stock. very solid GPU.

especially when it's their most specced out one.

this one even has a backplate
