It's October, that's technically after January 1st....

34.5 Why 34.5? I'm glad you asked, because it needed asking. 34.5 is half of 69.

What can we expect from the Sabres Power play? 140 goals for the season, 35 goals during the playoffs. That's what "we" can expect from the Sabres Power play. Of course, "expecting" and "delivered" are where our stats math guru's can "dose the reality", followed up and supported by the rest of us as we do our Popeye the Sailor impersonations with beer....aka, spinach 😀

Canucks looking for an RD per Dhaliwal.

Good question. My first building my own system. So I'm going for it as far as tricked out. But you are correct, the more I read, and watch videos, the less I'm inclined to delid.

I'm recanting my post season opener rant, maybe we shouldn't trade Allen. But as with any Bills fan, I reserve the right to over-react on any given ass kicking the team may take. My 4 Super Bowl losses in a row life time therapists, Jim Beam and Jack Daniel's (2 upstanding model citizens I might add) tell me this is a natural reaction.

An MSG game? Nice. It's a beer day, so it's a win/win! Go Sabres!!!

The cpu chip has arrived along with the ram. To delid or not to delid, that is the question. Pondering the risk to reward ratio.....

There's another Olofsson, we should claim him, just for the game night line up confusion alone 🤣

Wait, I though many were all on the Clifton train?

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:
