$47 might not be that large of a debt for school, but isn't this your first year? My cousin is over 100K in debt, but thats after 8 years in school (5 at Penn State+3 at Duquesne) and now he is going to become a lawyer.

I am going to Pitt for engineering and will probably rack up 40k+ in debt, but thats for 4 years (plus I will make more than that in one year...as long as there are jobs here in 4 years)

I'm not sure what to make of it to tell you the truth. It's not as gaudy as some but definately different. It kind of reminds me of a Space Shuttle. :happy:

Nice I saw this case a while back in red, it looks much better in blue

Yeah there is also a green one, but it looks a very 'nasty' green so i didnt bother lol. I think its trying to look 'Alienware' but not be too obvious that they are copying lol - my one complaint is that the cooling system seems to be hit-and-miss - although the ACTUAL cooling itself seems fine. My case temps are just as good as my large Chieftec and my CPU temp better thanks to the ducting on the side (the grill on the sides leads down to a funnel to the CPU fan).

The front fan is turned sideways inside the case which looks like it wouldnt do anything, but i guess Asus know what they are doing ^_^ the vents at the front must have something to do with it maybe

Well everything is here and the only thing left is put this thing together. Well before I start building here's a few photos. (Specs are in my signature)

Cheers.

That is insane. Congratulations on being able to build that. The only thing it seems to be missing is a killer RAID configuration. You should stripe like 4 Raptors and use a fifth for parity. :)

And get another 300gig and run raid 1 on it.

BTW how do you like that case? Let us know if it is extra noisy. It seems like it would be because of the cheese grater effect.

had to do this to all of yall.. that triple benq 17" just got shat all over

You'd think I was bragging my ass off right before he posted this.

I've had my setup for a year now. Bout time you caught up to me. To think, I'm not in debt at all, I paid CASH for all my hardware. Plastic can get anyone anything. Might as well add 5 more monitors there, you're not impressing anyone.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8. In short, you have everything you need to get started. All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product.
