He stays!!!

Sabres looking passive. Need to adjust a bit here. 1 week from season start, no injuries please.

Well, last night was to late, but you hit the mark on it getting away from me 😆. I binge watched many build your own PC videos. The more I watched, the sub videos with specifics I went down the rabbit hole in. Build your own PC is a whole new heaven, or hell? Let me sum it up this way, In 7 days I went from "I need a new PC, my 12 yr old machine is dated, to "honey, the spare bedroom is my domain now, I've moved all of the furniture to the basement, oh, and I just dropped 8k on a new PC gaming system and furniture, your out of control loving husband.....see you in May when the weather clears" 🤣

I picked up 4 x 16G of ram.

My first go at it.....Samsung 34" OLED arrived today.

Then your the person I need to chat with it appears. I'm flying by the seat of my pants here. I have a bunch of parts already as you saw by the pic above. I'm waiting on a few components yet, including the HYTE Y60 case. But as I read more and more, I've found you can really do quite a bit. I'm not sure if the mother board I chose or going with the intel 13900 as opposed to AMD was the right call. I was going off of what I learned online as well as speaking with the tech guys at best buy. There seems to be a heavily entrenched crowd on both sides of the aisle. There is no doubt I'm going 4090, the questions I have are on the water cooling aspect. I'm really not a fan of replacing the Y60's glass with water system mods, but I would like the little angle piece of glass HUD. As for the cooling system itself, I got 3 x 120mm and 2 x 140mm fans, the bending of tubing doesn't bother me, I have the Corsair bender kit and both 12 as well as 14 mm inbound now, along with the corsair blue dye. It's the radiator sizing I'm still trying to figure out. I saw a system with 2 independent cooling systems, 1 for the cpu, 1 for the gbu, ya, I think I'm hooked on mod'ing 😆

It's actually quite interesting to me anyways. I learned a little something these past 5 to 6 days...... Paging @SDS, SDS or any computer hardware individuals. What are your thoughts on delidding a chip to mod for direct connect to the water block?

So, we're all agreed then? VO traded, Benson straight to line 1, Tuch to bolster 2 on Cozens wing? Great, glad that's settled, how bout some ice cream now.

Anybody check on Dolphins fans after that ass Crack drumming? They may need a friend....

Buffalo straight out curb stomping the fish. Gotta love it.

2k for the 4090. It was the 1 item I walked away from as an immediate purchase. Newest latest and greatest, short supply. I won't have the system completely built until November, so I can bank up for it. It's my 1st desktop unit in 12 maybe 13 years or so, but, I bend tubing/conduit for a living, so I said to hell with it, why not. On a side note, I will probably upgrade to the 2 x 49" curved screens. Once I started poking around, these combat flight simulation gaming package MMO arenas gave me a devilish grin. I may be the guy that gets shot down a lot, but I'll have a lot of fun in these winter months, especially some of these ww2 style simulators 😀

I've also ordered the bar lcd display for the thin case side wall...

I had a choice between AMD and Intel. Some like the AMD, others like the Intel, I wasn't sure which route to go. I chose Intel, and I have 0 idea why lol Here's the pic that I ran across that inspired me to try this:

Yep Wook, the 4090 will fit. It's a very roomy tower. I have watched a bunch of those videos. It's what inspired me. I've been running off of an HP Omen laptop for the past 6 years or so. I'm 52, but the kid in me is still on full display within certain aspects of my life, PC gaming being one of those aspects. So I decided to upgrade. Once I saw those liquid cooled towers, I was hooked. So I picked up the IFIXIT tool kit for computers, and I ordered Corsair's tubing bender kit along with the blue dye for the cooling water color. I'm waiting on several already ordered components, including the tower, to be delivered. But it's the cooling system itself that I was hoping some others may have dabbled in. The videos on YouTube are great though to.

That would be awesome, and....if he sticks for the season, staying on line 1, barring any injury issues, this may very well be possible. It would be a season to remember if this came to pass.

Mine was an atari to lol.

So I picked up most of the non water coolant components today. Only thing I'm waiting on is the ASUS ROG 4090 24GB VRAM OC video card. Currently $2k, patiently banking for it. In the meantime, tower, monitor, processor and 2 x Dominator PLAT RGB DDR5 enroute via shipping. I have 3 x 120mm and 2 x 140mm rgb fans. I'm trying to figure out the radiator and pump scenario for this. Any input greatly appreciated. Pic of components included for scrutiny 🤣, put me against the boards if I flubbed the puck 😀

Man, this kid is pushing hard for at least that 9 game peek. Great times ahead for both the organization and the fans.

If this is the case.... @Promo, I do not wish to see you lose to much, so in the interest of helping you look beyond your nose without getting a neck kink, I offer to purchase 2 tickets, seats together, from you for 78.5% of the original purchase price with parking garage comp. I believe this will help you, help me, most of all, help the Sabres. I await the tickets 😀

I just priced 300 lvl's, x 2, on both ticket Master and vivvid. 232 and 249 respectively. YIKES!!!! I also looked at section 106? 6th row, 400 something each, as well as 200 lvl, which were just over 800 each. That is insane. Edit, this was for the season opener Ranger game.

Bryson? Oof Let's hope Benson is with Tage.

So, if a couple of these rooks make it tough on Adams to send them down, what exactly happens here? Would that force Adams to trade some players?

UPL I'm not saying it was aliens But it was aliens

We should worry

I voted no, yes, yes. But, if he did make the team this year, he is line 1, or 2 all day long. Place Tuch on Cozens wing with Benson joining Tage and Skins, or Benson straight on Cozens wing?
