Does someone like The Simpsons? :p

Very nice setup, DL. (Y)

and Family Guy...

Chia Homer? lol

Being a known Simpsons lover means you get a lot of gifts from people Simpsons related, Chia Homer being one of them... Actually every thing Simpsons in this room was a gift. My favorite is probably the Lava Lamp that is cut off at the very top left. It is Carl, Lenny, and Homer around a Nuclear Reactor and Homer is sleeping. LOL

The scary thing is, my actual Simpsons toy collection is in storage. Not even kidding. :blink: :laugh:

Thanks though. (Y)

Changed to a Lian-Li PC-7FWB today from the Antec P182

Great case all round tbh.

Jesus Christ, how in the heck do you keep it so clean inside and out.. haha

Elbow grease!

You're going to o_0 when you see the new PSU installed now though below lol

I got an OCZ ModXtreme 600watt and also a Zalman Fanmate2 for the intake fan as on my mobo only one fan header (other than the CPU) can be voltage controlled from the OS and I wanted my 3rd fan slowed down to be less audible (I have super ears hah!).

Anyway, All fans are now running 700-900rpm and are uber silent, before I could hear the front fan's ambient hum but now not so. A baby could sleep with the PC on. Definitely.

And you had to quote the entire post just to say an oneliner?

@mrk, nice case. I've been looking at the V1000Z but it costs too much for what it's offering and yours is quite good alternative. I'm also looking at the Antec Mini P180 (anyone has one?) which seems to be quite spacious although the design is not on the same level as Lian-Li's.

How come you swapped the P182 which is bigger and roomier?

That Mini P180 looks a better design than my old P182 - The drive bay layout has changed to offer more space, I wonder if the front casing itself has changed, I hate the new style Antec doors with the chav bodykit vents, why could they not keep it plain?

Great choice on the PSU. I have the 500W and love it. I only wish the 8 pin CPU cable was a bit longer.

Agree. It's probably the only thing keeping me from ordering it right away.

The P182 was slimmer but taller, it doesn't give any more room to work with than the Lian Li really and cables can be tidied behind just as easy - the bonus point is that it's lighter and better finished as well as the PSU being open so it's much easier to connect and wire new modular cables when needed and remove the PSU with minimum hassle when cleaning dust and stuff.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
