Tbh the purple colour is really dark and looks great the pics make it look pink almost... I prefer white though.

Here's a nice look at a build and the case from Matt Lee:



And from Gearseekers themselves:



I got it from Scan for £130 which is just stupid value for what you get from other case manufacturers, Anyone who needs a case with fans and controller/hub this is it.

Not going to lie, I do like the purple, thats what i'll have it on. I seriously doubt I'll be building another new rig anytime time soon and the 4070 RTX is enough for me for now but I actually do need that case.. I honestly hadnt seen one like that before you showed it

I'll be grabbing one next month :messenger_ok:

That's one chunky wide boy. It looks excellent.

Couldn't tell from scrubbing the videos, but is there a filter under the bottom fans, and is it easily removable for cleaning?

Yeah there's a filter underneath annoyingly it pulls out from the back, Probably the only real negative, The case airflow is so good and the side panel is nice, Just very good design, A lot of people will look at the name and price and write if off immediately as junk but it's far from it, I was always a Corsair and then Phanteks guy but neither have a case as good as this on the market right now at this form factor and value, Sure I'd love a NV7 with 12 D30 fans but I'm also not wanting to spend £300+ lol plus it's massive.

I can take a pic of the filter if you want.

Cheers! I'm not in the market for a new case right now (I have a Phanteks Eclipse P600S, which is pretty good but not nearly as eye-catching as yours) but I do like the ones with the power supply mounted behind the motherboard. If I ever upgrade I would probably be looking at something like that.

This card.

KUrDByZ.jpg


I already have a non graded Japanese version. I wanted to get that graded but I'd guess it would get an 7 or 8. There's nothing wrong with a 7 I mean it would get a "Near Mint" at 7. A 5 is considered"Excellent". 4 = Very Good. 3 = Good. Cards need to be next to flawless to get a 10. It can have very minor issues and usually only on the back of the card. Cards straight out a pack "brand new" aren't guaranteed a 10 or even a 9. I have had loads of cards out the pack which might only get a 4 or 5.

This card I bought is let down by the corners and edges which both scored 9. Surface and centering scored 10. Another company might have gave it a 9.5. I wanted this in a 10 but I dread to think what the prices will be for that. You don't wanna know how much I paid for this 9 Let's just say the Japanese card I bought cost £240 (and they go for double that now) and I managed to get the seller to knock £350 off the price of this card.

Also bought a couple new watch straps. I'm allergic to the silicone band that came with my watch so I had to buy a fabric one. I was just gonna get the metal one at first but I bought the white silicone one too to try. Maybe it will not irritate my skin. I'm not paying the prices Apple ask for their bands. The one I have at the moment was £50 and it's comfortable but it is fraying and difficult to clean.

Finally I bought a new bike chain. Mine snapped this morning. So going to need to repair that tonight. Ordered it to be delivered today as I need my bike for work. Well I don't NEED it but I am too lazy to walk.

I got a Steamdeck to be my indie machine.
I've realized I have been avoiding a lot of smaller games because the look lame on a 43" monitor, but a handheld with quick pause/resume and a smaller screen, especially chilling in my bed before sleep, will make a lot more sense.

My wife didn’t want me getting physical copies of anything and I’ve always wanted to own legit copies of the Berserk manga. I was able to get the remaining 37 volumes for $120ish on Kindle. My heart is telling me I did a good thing. It’s my favorite manga. I can’t justify having physical books. Also bought a decent size kindle on sale. It’s one of those things where I know I’ll go back to it over time.

I did something similar. It wasn’t for the value otherwise it would have probably been an English version. It was on my bucket list of things to own.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Got a replacement for my old PC speakers. Almost got vertigo thinking about how long I had those... like 20 years maybe? :goog_relieved:

Also treated myself to a cool 8bitdo gamepad. My Xbox gamepad still works fine but it'd be nice to have some for when someone comes visiting, plus the quality is top with this one. I just miss the audio jack but whatever.

Treated myself to an audio upgrade and ho boy what an upgrade over my Samsung soundbar, fills the room with crystal clear sound with proper spacing of effects, everything sounds bigger and I have no idea what voodoo magic Sony employs for the center speaker as voice comes clearly from the TV whilst effects and sound comes from the far left and right, overhead Atmos also does a pretty great convincing job as well, anyways definitely recommend over a soundbar any day and the wife likes the look of the speakers.

Lol really? In what way... I've seen people pay serious $$$ for audio systems and tbh yeah it sounds great but it doesn't sound multiple thousands of great if you know what I mean, mine is mid tier system

Oh sorry as in the whole home theatre experience that’s all. As in I bet it will sound incredible.

I’ve got a 2.1 sound bar for comparison 😳

Grocery shopping at Walmart today and they had a big bin of clearance throw blankets all piled up for $2.50 each. Found a few of these buried in the pile. Pretty crap for a throw blanket though (only 40"x50" and somewhat thin) but my cat loves it as a bed.
