Old case, but new board, CPU and first time using an NVMe on my system (wife got one before I did when I built hers). Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case, AMD Ryzen 5 5600, Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2, G.Skill 3200MHz GZRX variant of RAM, Thermalright True Spirit 140 Power CPU cooler with additional...

My first high end aluminum front panel case was this Xaser III basically the same chassis, but what a case to have in 2004 (thing was a beast to haul around though, and survived a 5K mile ocean voyage with no problems). Also used to build my nephew his first computer in 2011

Old case with a new board and CPU

After working at Fry's Service desk for my first job when I moved here way back in 2006, I found out from the quarterly meetings that the Cafe was the money maker of the stores, used to make really good tuna melts and club sandwiches...I'll miss those.

Gives me more time to get some money together to replace my GTX 4G 970.

Fry's in Sunnyvale doesn't even have anyone working the cafe, and a lot of the shelves are empty. Not even an LP working the exit.

Mostly new build to replace my 10 year old i7 920, went back to AMD (see signature).

I just got this board for my Ryzen 2700, I was wondering if there is a significant gain in performance if I went fromt eh F3 BIOS to the the F5 update?

Going to finally build a mostly new system with the 2700, the Aorus used in this benchmark review (because I have never had a problem with Gigabyte), some new RAM from G.Skill, and the 4g 970 GTX from my old i7 920 system from 2008....Along with most of the hard drives from that as well.

If AMD keep doing what they are doing by the time I get my tax returns done, I will be building one to retire my old i7 920.

We had pro 3's failing all the time, pro 4's aren't much better so our company is done with them especially as the warranty was only a year compared to the 3 years we got with regular equipment.

Going to get the 633 model this week, they are now selling for $120, I have to get them since my 430 volume control is acting weird, and the plates just above the actual earpiece are starting to crack (epoxy'd the inside and outside of the plates yesterday to last a little longer), tried the...

MSI 4G 970 for $300...Unless you count the total cost of the two 260 GTX cards when the system parts were originally purchased, then $440.

Computer forensic labs in the Bay area have been using Cellebrite for years to pull images from phones, when Apple, Google, or the phone carrier couldn't provide what they have asked for.

Another slight prod to switch to T-Mobile for me.
