    FS: Home Audio Video Audio stuff - amplifiers, speakers, interfaces

    Some audio surplus items for sale. More coming soon, but this is what I pulled out of storage. As usual, shipping is NOT included. I will organise air shipments for these things, to delicate to go by road. Original boxes may or may not be available. Estimate ~150 shipping for the very small...

    FS: Motherboard 2024 sale - motherboards, CPUs, GPUs

    I have too many rigs and need to let go of a few. Pricing is as good as it gets but I'm willing to listen to offers. Will not respond to lowballing. If you're buying at least three of the below items, I will offer some excellent items (not listed here) for free. If you buy all the items or can...

    Graphic Cards Good connector design versus 12HPWR

    I'm late to the 12HPWR connector party, having only recently picked up a RTX4090. Better late than never, right? It came with a quad 8 pin PCIe to 12HPWR connector. While I transition to a new RMe1000 (another story of poor design choices), I thought I'd make some observations about the 12HPWR...

    Budget 90k+ Warranty for purchaser or receiver?

    Hi Question from left field. So if the billing and shipping addresses are different, who actually holds the warranty? If I buy a GPU as a gift for someone, can I have warranty registration conducted by the recipient of the gift? (specifically a Zotac GPU) Extended registration requires the...

    FS: Motherboard The buddy sale! Combos from a bygone era.

    The story is a sad one indeed. It began in September last year, when @BurnBoy147 purchased a CPU off of me, and arranged for it to be shipped by Shiprocket. Shiprocket literally sent the package to the moon and it never returned. He was also denied insurance because apparently it isn't valid on...

    FS: Laptop Another HP Victus *sigh*

    2021 purchase, 5800H + 3050Ti, 16GB and 512GB PCIe3 SSD (all stock). Repasted with Noctua H2, should be good now for a few years (stock application was made by a baboon and temps hit 100s in a few months - now 80s under load). Hinge wobble on my unit isn't too bad, typing is not an issue but...

    FS: Desktops FS: Old systems, components and accessories clearance

    Clearing out some older systems to make way for upgrades, more to come later in the year. Apologies for not being able to control the order of images, it's a known XF quirk so you can ask, and I'll point to which picture has which CPU/mobo/RAM. 1. Xeon E3-1230 V2 LGA1155 | 4x4GB DDR3 (2x 1600...

    Less than 10K Phone for senior citizen

    Hi Need a phone for a senior citizen who is 100% computer illiterate but loves a good screen and a comfortable interface. She was using my hand-me-down N85 till it stopped charging and the back cover broke. Though we are getting the phone fixed, it may not be possible to fully revive it. After...

    Unpatchable USB malware, 1.0

    Wonder why nobody picked on the biggest topic over the last few days? Seriously hope this is the beginning of the end of the slow, buggy, virus-prone and unreliable USB interface. http://www.wired.com/2014/10/code-published-for-unfixable-usb-attack/ Wait, there's worse.... Moving firmware...

    Audio DIY Active Monitors

    Here are a few pictures of my new active monitors. These are using a 6" Kevlar midbass unit coupled to a low resonance soft dome tweeter. Both drive units are sourced from Peerless India and diyaudiocart.com. The project was started because I want to start recording again, having no job and...

    Mobile computing options: Opinions?

    Warning: long post! This is a question on opinions about mobile computing and touches upon and concerns laptops, tablets and mobile phones in some way. Till about the first few months of 2012 I was content to use just a desktop computer or three for all my needs - a gaming PC, a Browsing PC...

    OC & Modding Lo-Ki build log

    This is a project build log for my watercooled PC. I left this in draft mode for a while and have added stuff over a few weeks while this thing traded blows with my daytime responsibilities. Here it is. I started planning a new rig in November last year. I have suffered from an overdose of PCs...

    Review : Asus Xonar Essence ST

    The Asus Essence ST is the best stereo PCI card that Asus sells. Frankly the name is a bit odd, given what else is called ST. However, we shall not judge them for the unfortunate choice. Let's hope that is the only bad one they made. So, how does it perform? As far as all reviews seem to say...

    PC overhaul

    I am simplifying my desktop operations, having recently moved to an ATOM-based rig for my 24x7 needs. My earlier desktop had two systems, one relatively light on power (integrated graphics) for 24x7 use but quick enough for browsing and the occasional heavier desktop task (say - recording music...

    Server OS

    So I need a small home server. It needs to absolutely support NTFS read write, so not every flavor of Linux will work well or at all. It should be able to act as a router. There will be two network adapters in use, one wired (from ISP) and one wireless (for two computers to share when needed)...
