haha, that works.

the only thing i hate in your setup overall is the gainward.... i hate gainward...... i had an MX500 or something a LONG time ago in my AMD 2200 setup melt to my DFI lanparty......... GAY

how come your RAM isn't set up in dual channel mode?

Is it not the same sticks? dual channel is made by matching the colors (except on MSI boards)

Seeing as the PSU slot is at the bottom, is it hassle get the 24 pin connector to connect to the mobo connector, is it a long stretch for the wires? I dont wanna buy and then not be able to connect the psu lol.

@ zer0day:

I had NO trouble connecting any of the PSU cables to anywhere on the motherboard. The 24 pin was a not a problem, and I did not need an extension. The only somewhat tricky thing I did was routing the 8 pin cable near the back of the case actually in between the video card and the motherboard. I saw that done in a magazine, and it worked out great. YMMV as it depends on the placement of these connectors on your motherboard.

As mentioned the front panel wires may be a bit of a stretch depending on your mobo. Shoot me a PM with what mobo and PSU you plan to use and if you still have any questions and I'd be glad to help if I can.

@ Groovedude:

Thanks for the compliment on the desk. I love the thing! It is so nice to have a such a large workspace, and it was especially nice when I was still in school (I just graduated in April). Of course, the only negative is that I sometimes still manage to fill it up with junk and it looks quite messy! No fault of the desk of course, but still.... ;)

the funny thing is that there is dvi below it...

So? the video card he's plugged into right now are DVI. But he's using VGA monitors with DVI converters. So with that awesome setup, he's got lesser quality video from his monitors.

I own a Samsung 205BW which has DVI/VGA. Didn't noticed the difference when it was connected to my laptop that only has VGA.

There's a slight colour difference, and it's more noticeable in movies. I can see it, but i've heard many people can't. Likewise, I really can't tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p, even though many of my friends supposedly can. Who knows? lol

but yeah, putting the vga in there makes your monitor look at the thing as being vga. If you use a DVI cable, you'll notice a difference from the VGA. since you have VGA in there, you're only seeing what a VGA would look like

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.

      Real shame the 16 GB versions are crazy more expensive than this.

    • iOS 27 & Apple Intelligence. Many iPhones become obsolete, right?

      And within the EU all this Siri AI stuff will probably work around 2030 and the IPhone 25 🤣
