PC Build Advice/Review II: 3090 or Bust.

[DrClout]

People buy things at weird prices for whatever reason. I'd say try the market. Breaking even with shipping is good, breaking better is ... better.

Don't use eBay. Save yourself the headache.

So I'm planning to add a 2nd SSD but I lost all the screws that came with my case. Wheres a cheap place I can pick up the screws that seem to be used for every hdd?

[DrClout]

Lowes, Home Depot, insert generic hardware store.

Cheapest route online is probably to buy a kit, such as this one.

The ones you're actually looking for are likely the M3 x 4mm screws, for the drive itself, if you're just looking at 2.5" drive mounting.

3.5" HDDs tend to be threaded for the larger screws, which are #6-32 UNC but M3.5 are close enough to work fine - catch might be finding them in the relatively short length that you'd need.

Anyone have a suggestion for a vertical monitor stand I can buy? Either 27" or 32" second monitor.

if you want to ghetto it and your case layout supports it, you can just leave it hanging by the power and SATA cables, they weigh next to nothing. my 2nd one has been supported by the cables for years

Semi finished with my build and figured I'd share about the In Win 301 mATX Tempered Glass case. I had read that the case can only house one 3.5 drive but others were doing two. After my debacle of trying to make that yesterday I will say the way I tried didn't work. Ended up busting the SATA port shield on my Intel SSD and WD RE4 2TB drive. With a ton of luck and a lot of electrical tape they are working albeit the WD drive is sitting on top of the case. There is zero room for cable management. Even though specs say the PSU cavity can house up to 160mm, it was still extremely tight even with a fully modular unit.

The case is gorgeous and well built, but if looking to buy I'd suggest carefully planning out parts used. For my use there just isn't enough room for cables and more than likely if I had the panels on my parts would be running at above average temperatures.

Cheapest place to get a legit Windows 10 key?

No student discount bullshit either.

Doesn't work anymore.

Get one from /r/microsoftsoftwareswap

[Zetanio]

That looks... questionable.

[Zetanio]

Are these just cracked keys?

can't advice you on place, but consider OEM license if you don't expect to transfer it to a new system later, saves you a few bucks at least.

It looks like Runescape chat in that subreddit >_>

[Tokitoki]

OSRS or the new shit?

[Zetanio]

What?

[Tokitoki]

Nevermind...

OSRS is the original Runescape. They remade it to look more modern a while back. I was trying to make a bad joke.
