That looks like a very nice computer MPB!

Parts from China arrived, so that means upgrade. :mail:

Old PeeCee:




New PC time.  :ahhh :ahhh


What a mess. :facepalm:





Such a cool case to look at. :dd:




I checked, it fits inside the old case. :rofl:

Very happy with it. I didn't need the portability, but I'm in love with it. :tu:
(Aside from the cable "management" process. :facepalm: )

I did a double take once I noticed how big your SAK is.

Nice looking case.  :tu:

Yeah, it's so small. :dd: it's been pulling at me for months, totally irresistible. I measured it up as it currently is, it takes up less than 5L (1.3 us gal) of volume.

Hey Chako, I had to show the kid your idea and he liked it, since he his system is all black and red I said maybe he should do the same and put a deadpool in, anyway this is what he said,,

I noticed a spare spot on the computer and thought it was high time I filled it. Seeing as I already have a 1/6 scale soldier sitting on my graphics card for a while now, it was time to find him a friend.

The first guy doing guard duty since March of 2021.

Meet the new guard...a Chinese UN blue helmet.

I was going to get a sniper with a Gillie suite, but figured it would be a nightmare to add all that grass to the suite mesh. This guy is super detailed, even more so than the first one, and I was doubtful if that was at all possible. Both are now standing guard duty over my PC.

The saga continues. I just replaced my Asus 1660 Super with an Asus KO 3060 Ti. There is nothing wrong with the older card other than it was missing a few new technologies. Noticed the prices are getting lower, and the advances of this newer card over the older one meant it was time to upgrade. Other than that, the computer build which is now 3 years old continues to go strong. Thinking of possibly upgrading my motherboard and  CPU down the road. The MSI B450 Tomahawk Max and AMD Ryzen 5 3600X is starting to get a bit long in the tooth, although there really isn't a great need to upgrade those at the moment.
