FEATURED What did you get today?

[rainless]

Not surprised all over the place.
Im using the Raspberry PI to learn n implement the Linux path that basically equates to Microsoft Active Directory


What method do you use to transport files to the printer , a web browser?

Exactly. I just pull up the raspberry pi on any web browser in the house and I can send the files directly to my 3D printer or monitor the status.

I don't know anything about Active Directory so I still have no clue what you're doing with your Pi. But as long as you're happy with it...

Was my birthday Saturday, spent the weekend with the parents. Took today off so I could drive home. So now I get to enjoy of working swing shift and have an afternoon beer or 7.

Got some keyboard dampers for my G413 at work, *actual* LED halogen drop in bulbs, and



A NINJA! Kinda got tired of hand chopping stuff when cooking and managed to break my last blender. Figured "go big or go home" and get something that fills both roles.

For nostalgia's sake (and the fact that you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal) I bit on a never used (open box) OG PC Power and Cooling Turbocool 1200SR 1.2 kW unit ($130).

I have fond memories of PCP&C Turbocool PSUs. A bit loud, but never had an issue with them. The OEM was Win-Tact in Taiwan, who sadly don't exist anymore. One of the few OEMs to use Hitachi aluminum electrolytic tank capacitors. The Turbocool 860W you see today is most likely not WinTact.

An old review: https://pcper.com/2007/10/pc-power-cooling-turbo-cool-1200w-psu-review/3/

I'm slowly adding to my reliable PSU collection (Zippy, Supermicro, Wintact so far). On the lookout for appropriate Etasis and Delta units.

What a beast of a PSU. Nice catch. My last multi rail PSU was a Seasonic M12D which I still have in service.

My purchases.

MSI MPG 322URX QD-OLED monitor and a Ninja Prestige Smart XL air fryer to replace our Geekchef which had it's main control knob fail again (I replaced it myself once).

 

[Iron Bars]

Nice monitor (and air fryer!). What made you choose the MSI unit? I've been out of the monitor game for a while. Still rocking a couple of old LG 4k IPS 27" screens.
The M12D is still a solid unit. I have one of the newer Focus units in my pfsense rig. I'm excited to receive the Turbocool today!

 

[Voodoo Rufus]

Well, as far as I can tell it's the best on the market now for several reasons: DP 2.1 (not many have that yet, future proofing), QD-OLED 4K 240Hz, HDR, Gynsc/Freesync. And an internal power supply as I hate power bricks.

All of my other monitors are IPS, and some are great, others just good. This is my first QD-OLED panel.

eVGA 3060 Ti XC Gaming from Newegg Refreshed. Needs a decent dusting but otherwise in great shape. It's going in my NCase M1 HTPC rig to beef up the GPU power there.

It's an excellent little card. I have the same one in my Hyte ITX build for mobile gaming and VR @1080.
