Just picked up this LG 27" 1440P OLED at Best Buy for $675 (pre-tax) after trading in an e-waste 1080P 60Hz TN panel I had in storage. In-store only and their recycle promotion is good for 10% off any LG monitor and ends on 4/27, full terms here. Just walk in with your recycled monitor...
Sapphire Pulse RX 7700 XT 12GG $429 w/ $20 coupon: https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11335-04-20G-Radeon-Gaming-Graphics/dp/B0CFWQR5MW
Clip the $20 off coupon. This widens the gap to $70 between this and the cheapest RX 7800 XT. Still not an easy recommendation for me, maybe if it sinks to $399.

Game had a rocky launch and has gotten quite a bit of patching since. Can't say if it's a "good" game now, but I'd take it for a spin for $5: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpunk-2077-standard-edition-playstation-4-playstation-5/6255151.p?skuId=6255151&

Wife and I got our Decks today. Mine booted up instantly, no issues. However, wife's Steam Deck refuses to boot. When I tap the power button, I hear a subtle audible beep, fans spin up, and can feel the haptics in the touch pads, but no display.

Looking at replacing a H61 board with a Z68 board for my friend's Ivy Bridge rig. Stumbled upon this EVGA Z68 FTW board that's missing a pin in its LGA 1155 socket. I found a pin-out graphic, but without knowing the orientation of the diagram, it's difficult to tell.
Here's the board's LGA 1155...
Many of us already know that paying with "F&F" is a way for sellers to circumvent paying PayPal's 3% transaction fee, and that doing so forfeits the buyer's PayPal Buyer Protection. Did you also know that it forfeits PayPal's Seller Protection as well?
Here's a good example of how using F&F...

About 2 weeks ago I did some thermal tests to see how badly the front panel on my Phanteks Enthoo Evolv TG ITX case was choking the 200mm intake fan. TL;DR it's really bad. In long gaming sessions, I was able to drop GPU temperatures from 77C to 57C just by removing the front panel.
Well, the...

GPD launched their new Win Max 8-inch gaming laptop/handheld hybrid. Interesting choice of specs... Core i5-1035G7 (Iris Plus 940 iGPU). I suspect many here, myself included, would have probably preferred a Ryzen + Vega APU. Is it that there's no Ryzen 4000 APU within a 15-25W power envelope...
