    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 :D

    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!

    "Not a bad" is an understatement. That laptop had great thermal management (both hardware and software) for the price it retailed for.

    Oddly enough the reviews from Best Buy said the exact opposite, but I snagged it anyway and mine is excellent still to this day. Probably fixed the cooling issue with a BIOS update by the time I purchased it, I guess the fans weren't kicking in when they should have been?

    I was able to play Cyberpunk 2077 on it with no problems when it released, when people with much higher end hardware were complaining of constant problems, so I was happy with my choice.

    I see, maybe you got one of the very first generations. Pavillion series you own was later famous among gamers for badass thermal management.

    My first laptop was compaq. 2GB ram, pentium. 5kg weight.

    Whatever happened to Compaq?!

    Absorbed by HP.

    Yup. That was solid laptop though. Service was also good at that time.

    I have an old Compaq sitting in my mom's garage somewhere, probably only a handful of years newer than that IBM Thinkpad. I should go get it and see if she will still boot.

    might be fun to try to save that even if it doesnt boot at the moment for nostaliga

    TrK is so hyped now, he won't be leaving the first spot for anyone

    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..

    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..

    Indeed, people might not give in.

    Judiging by what we have seen so far here. I think this one may run until the very end

    TrK got his sleep? Or going to sleep

    He slept?

    Most prolly. He is known to be a night owl.

    He didn't sleep the entire night.

    Yup, pulling an all-nighter is tough. Did that last year.

    Not good for health though. Did it couple of days last year on some project. Got sick after few days.

    Some people seem to just manage it better some how than others

    Self signed working?

    Yeah but not out of the box, have to integrate that SSL to each connection point....

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

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

    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? :p

    Reassembling it would be a challenge in itself. BTW, so kind of you to even consider it. At times, with Indian customs, it doesn't even matter, if it's used, broken or brand new.

    It would be quite the adventure though!

    They're still an active brand though. Compaq

    I think not operating in India, didn't see any new offerings from them.

    Ah, they must not have the big bankroll to support it anymore this time around

    Need to strke a healthy balance. But, for many, difficult to do with such awesome prizes in the balance.

    No one is here to strike a "balance" :sunglasses:

    balance left the chat long time ago..

    That must mean all things must be perfectly balanced now in life as all things should be

    Yah, at times you get so damn used to it, that you become delusional about it being perfectly healthy. Most of the times, it's not.

    Can never achive perfectly healthy. Again all about finding the right balance

    Interesting. That would mean, the configs have to be lowered a bit. But, it'd guarantee more laptop winners.

    maybe you can get different tiers of CPU, or perhaps ram. RAM would be more ideal as you can always put it back unless its soldered
