Not really, some people can do cable management just as well, if not better than those with modular PSU's. Go take a look at HardOCP. :p

I spend plenty of time at HardOCP and most of the really impressive rigs have modular PSUs or cases big enough to hide it all behind the mobo tray. All depends on the case. But with newer PSUs and the longer cables most of them have, you really need modular if you are using a mid-tower.

Don't think I shown my room after redecoration (before it was green).

Tidied it up since I need to do some new photos (Ethernet cable is no longer at my door way)

I now have 5.1 surround sound to.

Nice, Crystal Xbox LE, modded Xbox and an Elite (Y)

LOL - I wasnt aware Polaroid even makes TVs-- LOL I can only imagine the level of crapiness - let me guess .... Wal-mart ?

The TV is a Samsung

Just gonna put in my $0.02, I have an LCD made by Element, a subsidiary of Polaroid, and it's a brilliant set. Don't knock it 'til ya try it :)

Nice setups, I've got nothing new until the beginning of my fall semester (couple of weeks), then I'll bring some shots of my brand new place (literally, the building is finishing now - I'll be the first one to live there with my roommates!).

I told you. :p

Yes, I got mine at Wal-Mart. Yes, it's crappy for me at least, the top part of the LCD film is slowly peeling off causing a black shadow on the images....

Well count yourself lucky so far, at least yours still works. I bought one ( 37" Polaroid ) and it lasted 1 yr and 3 weeks. It had a 1yr warranty so I thought just being close to that date they would possibly cover it, well it just ****ed me off even more after a couple phone calls. One of the guys even said "well if it was just 2 weeks then they could had covered it but 3 weeks is just to long". I could not believe how they treated me. I just drawled it up as a lost to me for not going with the extended warranty. Which was like and extra $78.00. I did learn my lesson though because my new 46" Sony has the extended warranty. Like the old saying goes, You get what you pay for.

True. I called Polaroid to issue an RMA, after 3 phone calls and the re-assurance that I'd get shipped a box, nothing. Worst company I've done business with ever.

Looking into replacing the TV with a Samsung, Sony, or an LG.

    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
