Any nerds floating around?

I tried water cooling my PC but it kind of messed up my pool. lol I was a tech junkie once but having kids kind of means I had to give up chasing the latest ad greatest gear. School fees are an absolute joy killer.

Built a PC about 4-5 yrs ago, only used it occasionally for gaming. Mostly used by the kids and as a PLEX server these days. Might upgrayyedd soon because ripping movies is taking longer and longer these days.

Love tech in general tho too. Have a couple of PS4s, a Switch, multiple iPads, a media room with projector and Atmos system (my personal gaming/movie nirvana), installed smart switches for the outdoor lighting and have them on a schedule, installed a DIY security system, you name it.

I'd love to tinker with the Stinger too, but I'm too afraid of screwing with the warranty.

Dude! I could have written nearly the exact same post. Plex is awesome, isn't it?

Oh man, i'm a happy lifetime PLEX PASS subscriber. I don't use as many of the perks as I used to, but PLEX is rock solid and works on everything.

I haven't water cooled for years. Danger Den was still around when I was modding. What's the latest custom stuff? Esp water blocks, who's the best ones out there now?

 

[Hemz]

Not too sure best blocks ATM...they are all pretty close.

My 2080ti is waiting for me at the post office....still trying to chase down a block for it.

I left Plex years ago, I use Emby now

Bro....that's amazing. Well done!
I just completed all the complex bends in my loop and am leak testing until I get my 2080ti and block in it.

Very nice, I was just discussing PC's etc with my colleagues this morning and told them that my current PC is the one I bought back in 2008. Someone took pity on me and said I could have their old PC as they were going to just throw it in the trash. lol So I guess I will have a new "old" PC tomorrow. lol Will be nice to have functioning USB ports again. lol

2080ti. Nice. Mine is a ryzen 2700x with a 1080ti at the top and hers is i7 4790k with a 1080ti on bottom. All the tubing, reservoirs, radiators, and water cooling hardware I got on aliexpress. Much cheaper!

I have so many components lieing around I could build you one from spare parts . Only thing missing would be a graphics card.

That's so cool man....I should do one like that next ... This build is a silent build. Loudest component is 8db

Thanks mate, appreciate the thought but my colleagues old PC will do for me these days. I really only use it for browsing, well that and image processing which admittedly does get a bit laborious due to the limited processing power I have.

 

[Menissalt]

Just got a 144hz monitor to go with my 1080ti and a pretty old i7 3930k running at 4.4. The processor might be old but it still rocks everything I throw at it.

My i5 3570k is just starting to bottleneck my shit at 5.2ghz

I stopped building pretty computers for myself around the time LAN parties stopped being a thing. My last gaming desktop was a Ryzen build sitting on a test bench. Sold the parts because my coworker wanted them and I rarely play anything anymore.

As for other nerdery, 1st job was a developer/designer working for a web host & ISP. I didn't know about savings or investments back then so I built a new gaming PC every 3 months or so and gave my hand-me-downs to my friends. Then I owned my own computer shop for several years. Now I'm a CTO, which isn't as fun as the shop but still nerdy I guess.

I reckon I would qualify as a nerd. Got my first computer in 1949 and have been working on them ever since. Electronics engineer primarily on process automation and control (robots). Started a computer business and sold it in 1989 and retired. For a hobby, I facet gemstones - rubies, sapphires, emeralds, etc. That seems like it should make the cut.

Guess that makes mine look like a model T in comparison. lol It is a
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9400 (6M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
