it'd be legit to own a 1 letter domain. I've been in the financial industry since mid-90s and remember x.com. I contemplated applying to the s.f. office but the job I had at the time paid better and COL in Texas was no where near SF levels. WFH wasn't really an option back then.

No official reasons for non work related drives.. If they're good, I keep them. If it's some old drive that's clicking, I sometimes pull the boards for spares. Magnets are cool and platters make good, shiny targets for days you feel like offloading some rifle rounds.

Currently running 3 x 40ish 4k screens and a 34" up top. I use a combination of Display Fusion and wifi switches to deal with them. Unfortunately, I found that using wifi switches abnormally triggers OLED screen cleaning mode. I use Display Fusion to break 12k x 2k down into quadrants.

still Jerkin' it up here.. but I do need a desk for the other room.

Any time a hot new GPU is released, I look at what else I could buy in IRL instead. Probably why I'm stuck at a 2080Ti. Not that I'd buy it cause I need other stuff (like house things) but @ $2500, that's H&K Mark 23 territory. Then I come to my senses and say I could be earning a bunch of...

The O.G. Alesis Monitor One's and Two's from 90's vintage. They were cheap, not very flat, but sounded great when amped hard.

and speakers if you aren't using headphones. heh

I just did triples and kept my vertical space. Luckily the only game I really play these days plays fine at the rez. (12k x 2k) Still debating swapping 3x40" 4k tv's to all 42" oleds. Just swapped the center monitor this weekend. The desk is usually the issue when you go large but found a way...

FE in stock @ NVidia atm. https://store.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/store/?page=1&limit=9&locale=en-us&gpu=RTX 4090 edit: correction, added to a queue? heh

fyi. an authorized seller on ebay selling 42" C3's new at $896.99 w/ 20% off ebay promotion cuts it down to $717. It was 802.80 w/ tax. Was going to pick one up from BB but it ended up $985ish. edit: nvm. sold out.

similarly named vendor scamming 4090's for $399 anyone want to take one for the team? :)

You should be good to go. I missed originally that you'll be sending 3.5mm to the klipsch. I actually use analog outs to a small 2 channel amp for powering up my pc speakers.

Looks like the Fosi K5 Pro. Similar specs but also read this.. "Compared to the last generation Q4, K5 Pro has noticeably improved on overall sound quality, so you can get immersed in your music even more easily. " If you want to use speakers you'll need to unplug the headphones (at least...

they make surface mount microsd readers like used internally with 3d printers. I've replaced mine a few times. All you'd need is a faceplate to mount it to.
