  1. The cost for assembling a new Linux / Windows PC system is not getting any less expensive 😕

    This list is for new parts, it would be less expensive with used or reconditioned ones.

  2. Nvidia has killed off its RTX 5060Ti (16GB version) and 5070Ti graphics cards.

    Casualties of the global RAM situation due to AI customers.

  3. Despite very solid mounting with the 3 slot backplane and screw assembly, I have added a sag support for the new GPU. The bundled one was too short for the case, as is this longer one I ordered, so I have improvised.

  4. So, it has come to this.

    I am wandering the aisles of MicroCenter and see this setup -- well beyond the now-common RGB, every fan in the case and the CPU cooler itself has a small LCD display showing video on it.

  9. I think I'm going to order a new budget video card soonish.

    I get by on a GTX 1050ti (4 GB) with the games I have, but I'd like to get by on some newer games I don't have yet too.

    I'm looking at ordering an RTX 3050 6 GB, as they're under $200 and don't require a power line directly from from the PSU. (Apparently the 3050 8 GB does require a power line directly from the PSU, so I won't get that one.)
    I don't want to have to upgrade my PSU.

  10. Where do people buy computer parts now? Newegg used to be my go to, but it seems like they have had a corporate takeover and doesn’t seem like the great deal it used to be. Amazon seems riddled with fake merchants and I’d prefer to avoid them anyway if it’s reasonable.
