That's fine, if getting the normies in, is the goal. That's why I kind of turned my back on crypto. The original goal, aligned more with freedom, rather than another banker controlled tool, which is why I believe they like ripple so much.

Monero was the last one I was looking into, to carry what bitcoin originally had potential for..not sure where they sit now.

I get u though.. definitely $$ to be had. Just feel as though i'd be making it off something bad for our country.

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/goldenegle/saved/pKmjZL This is a custom build I am probably going to be doing soonish, the only part I really need is the 3080 GPU as all the other parts I have readily available just laying around my office 🙂

$4,552 give or take $200. With a 4k monitor, easy to clean keyboard, a decent mouse that won't break easy 🙂

plus about $800 of it is just storage for prints and backups.

the other issue is I want to put Linux, Mac, and Windows on it. Getting Mac software can be difficult on a new computer, unless you have a copy of it, or an old mac to transfer from.

whoa.... knotty that is a crazy build...

My nuclear reactor came in today lol

im sorry, what?

oh shit an FX is it the 8core? and are you going to overclock it to oblivion?

You bet I am!

hell yea

you gonna try to hit 8k or better?

This 9590 is going to be under a 240mm aio

break that record?

Lol no

I don’t have LN2

I think the clock record is still held by that same exact CPU

at like 8,893 ghz or something nuts

I know it’s above 8

Yeah

I OC'd my threadripper to 4.0 and use a tank cooler to keep it cold enough

to not melt the motherboard

Nice lol

almost need a car radiator for the damn thing it is so hot

I had to do a literal cooling block and retro fit it front and back with heat tape to keep dew from forming on the outside of the cooling block and mobo

Get the Blowymatron that J2C has haha

it is so bad man

Oof

took some cleaver engineering and machining but I got it 🙂

I should shoot a picture of it sometime.

This cpu is going into my windows xp build haha

I'm not sure where to put this one but I thought this was the best place to put it unless there is some other place I can put it

linux man

Linux is the superior kernel for an OS

I just wish that more games were supported on it because it is a much better OS than windows

At least it has Super Tux Kart lol

Have you tried Steam Proton? Its steams game optimized WINE and works well with a surprising number of my game backlog. The changes that make are also usually pushed upstream to the main WINE fork.

That said I do agree with your sentiment that I wish more my games were Linux native which is why I have only bought a few games over the last few years. Of those I bought, I prefer to buy off GOG. That way I'm not locked into steam for games and actually own the game.

steam proton rules, for almost any game, other than ones with draconian anticheat that doesnt even stop cheaters
