People are going to be on fire for the hype

If we get a GA or flash sale dropped in this thread, people are going to absolutely LOSE IT!. We havent had a big one yet so i feel like we are over due. Just might break the internet in the process

Yesterday we had some great giveaways though.

yes! and somehow i missed them all

True, still so much time that any thing can happen. Guarenteed plot twists lie ahead. DO not get complacent!

I agree tables will turn at any time. I need to be more careful.

oh how the turn tables turn tables you might say

You need few comments to be in top 25 and over 500 for top 4

That is crazy! But look, it doesnt really take that long to get even 500 comments. Some people seem to be making that leap of another 500 almost in half a day at times. Just need some determination adn the will to have a good time and join in the fun banter with the community

Ben: "Wild how fast the post counts go up! How do they do it!"
Also Ben: -Wakes up and posts 5 pages of comments in 10 minutes-

Just playin. lol

Is that really how much my posts have added up? Time flies when you are having fun, i didnt even notice. You guys were having so many interesting talks in my absence

When you're catching up, yeah it's kinda like that

A computer store near me has this wall of motherboards, so cool.

And just look at all these Linksys WRT series routers!

Probably acquired them when someone ran outta business.

They've been around for a while and love to collect like me, so we get along quite well.

Ahh, are these on sale BTW, the routers, esp?

They're mostly for display in the shop, but maybe if I asked really nice.

Here's my setup for the big RackNerd thread of 2021

Woah, that's impressive, man. That green lit keybaord an HP Pavillion gaming?

Yeah that's my 2019 HP 15Z, Ryzen 5 1050ti. Not a bad little rig for $450!

oh wow, yeah not bad at all. 1050ti still holds its own after all thsi time too

It does still run well, but this ROG Strix kinda puts it to shame.
Not to worry though, it still serves a purpose. lol

Your Rog Strix is a beast.

Do you still recommend it these days? Should i look into something else?

That's gonna change, i.e., multiply exponentially soon.

It's only gonna harder but who said it's easy to get a laptop?

Exactly. It's a $850 item. You gotta be able to put in some hard work for that.

Oh snap, i didnt even look at the value! That is really generous of racknerd and dustin to do this. No wonder its such a hot giveaway

Indeed. RackNerd is pretty generous with the giveaways. The grand ones and the random ones through out the pages.

yeah they spare no expeses. This plus the general giveaway on LET they love to give back

This is not a luck based giveaway

Theres some luck involved, albeit a very small amount but luck is involved with almost anything. I could get unlucky and break all my fingers and be out of the running completly

Now you got me worried.

the odds of all fingers breaking are very low so no need to worry

The ROG Strix line? Yes they're amazing, but there are definitely cheaper options that have about the same capability. I am just a big fan of ASUS, and was able to splurge this time. Plus it was discounted from $1899.99 down to $1199.99 for Black Friday.

Watch me.

Hyping it up for the Express train!!

HYPE UP MORE.

All for the Express train and his laptop !!

Let the hype be over the sky

Jump on my SpaceX rocket!

If you have a space x rocket, then i would call you the .00001% and you can donate me the TV

Noob is rich now.

i believe it. All those giveaways he wins. Probably spends all the credits on reseller hosting and has a large corporation going in his home country

I wouldn't be one bit surprised to see a few flash sales, especially since we have more than a month to go! Never know what the Chef is cookin' up in the RackNerd kitchen.

Anyone hoping for the laptop needs to grab it from him, but, he's extremely competitive and that's understandable.

I'm here.

Go for it then..

Already working towards it.. one post at a time..

Keep the pace up though. The beast might wake up anytime

I think I noticed that TrK is back. You ahve aoken the beast!

I just woke up though....

How much time did you spent on it last night? I think i've seen you here early.

Slept at 3AM and awake at 10:30

7.5 hours not bad. My kind of sleep.

Let's go go for it don't give up

Anybody who gave up- too soon. Take xpress' example. Learn from him.

He's on the lappy again?

Have one month to catch up..

which is plenty of time to make it anyones game at this point

I agree. Everyone has chance at the moment.

Even those who have sat out this round can find a prize for themselves

By the end i might have move than 10k comments on my profile

Impressive.. Im no where near. Does that mean you are shooting for 10k on this thread alone?

Seesh that's a big number......

WHich you can easily beat. I can't say about that though.

I can but don't wanna start the tug of war spam game.....

yeah lets not go there! Someone will hit 10k though this time around i know it...

Good night man, let's talk some more about your ventures when you wake up...

Oh, not going to bed, just even refreshing every couple seconds yields 5+ new replies right now and it seems impossible to have a conversation. I'll return to hype-beast status once it slows a tad. Gonna go have a beer and a smoke.

Some people just hve multi threaded minds i think!

That may explain my headaches. Perhaps I need a moment to breath

Cece is like, Dad why did you buy such an expensive laptop?

Babe its to gift our beloved xpress.

You get the Nitro, you ain't touching my Strix.

Next year maybe, we will have a Strix in the pool.

If business is good, maybe I'll upgrade and offer up my used one next year in some kinda of raffle. Would be easier to get a used model through customs I imagine!

What if I shipped it all torn apart, and the winner had to assemble it?

Our customs still charge on it may be. They do unexpected things.

How do they charge in the disammbled case? Total value if put together? what is you ship a small set of pieces at a time

Without proper documentation it's going to be a nightmare and hell lot of custom charges.

ah, what documentation do you need? Can it just include a letter saying "this is from your friend/family" then its good to go?

Tearing apart laptop? worst nightmare.

It's actually fairly easy to reassemble in most cases, unless you don't desolder anything.

As long as there is no soldering, that would make it way easier

No desoldering, and since the heatsinks are attatched with liquid metal instead of thermal paste I wouldn't even want to remove those. Just ship it as "parts" lol

can you melt it down with a hair dryer or something?
