Vertical GPU mounting.

Thoughts.. ?


With GPUs being as heavy as they are, and with PC cases being increasingly ornamental, yes. It is realistically the best choice. I'd love to see a redesign of the GPU form factor for a better mounting location. Even as something as minimal as a additional mounting locations for the GPU instead of just the PCI slot and the 2-3 screws that hold the GPU to the rear of the case. Something like an additional B bracket on the back side of the PCB of the GPU to mount to the motherboard.

The other thing I saw recently was a case where the GPU's "face" was flush with the exterior allowing it to intake 100% ambient air. The lack of filtering mesh would cause an issue downstream, but I love the concept.

Used hardware will always have greater buying power, but I would never buy used hardware unless it was from someone I personally know.

This is the kind of computer that is ruining people's lives.

9800x3d + 4060ti.

The performance is Terrible.  They should've gotten Used 7700/7700x for $150, used mobo $100, Take the $350 add to gpu, $750, that's a 7900xtx or 4070ti (sale).  Obviously take the 7900xtx.  But if they're sheep, they're still way better off with 4070ti.

Roughly DOUBLES the performance for the same price w/ 70ti,  2.5x w/ 79xtx.

Group Buys and Preorders / Re: [GB] GMK Toxic (CLOSED)

Honestly I'm not onboard the MTNU train/trend.
Wasn't around for Toxic when it first ran, but man it is probably one of the more unique caps IMO. It's the one set I keep coming back to wishing for another round.
I'd be SO down for another round of Cherry with possibly updated kittings. Just not down for spending close to $500-$600 on aftermarket to try to get all kits :(

Reviews / Sillyworks x Gateron Type R Switch Review
« Last post by ThereminGoat on Sun, 12 January 2025, 10:26:26 »
Hey all,

The first full length review of 2025 is here and I couldn't think of a better way to kick off another calendar year of switch reviews than with a truly never before seen style of switch. This week I take a deep dive into Sillyworks and their "100% Tactile" collaboration with Gateron in the form of the Sillyworks x Gateron Type R switches.

As always, thank you all for the continued support leading into yet another year of writing about switches. I've got a lot of fun ideas I'm planning on, working on, and hoping to release in 2025 and I hope you'll all be here to see them when they go live!

Cheers,
Goat
