This is a build for a drafting friend of mine. I built him a system about 18 months ago and he is very pleased with it. He's moving up in the world and is going to employ another draft person so he needs another work station. This has similar specks to the first one except graphics card is not a Quadro (he wanted to save some coin) So I don,t know how well the 1050 will cope with 3D rendering. I will run a few benchmarks before I hand it over though. Xeon CPU @ 3.4 GHz, 32 GB DDR 4 RAM @ 2133 MHz and an Asus E3 Pro Gaming V5 mobo should make it interesting. It was a bundle from PC Case Gear, I added another 16 GB of RAM to the bundle though

love the screen real estate Edit: where is the chair @skidxr6t?

Some goodies turned up today [emoji3]

I know people who lost their homes cos they could not keep up with the interest rate. loans may have doubled but so have wages

Always good to not have all your eggs in one basket. Half of your loan fixed is always a viable option, just ask anyone who had a variable rate loan in the late 80's/early 90's

stayed here once except Mrs BCB got it for free

FIFY

If I could do my reno all over again I would start by raising it to the ground

I have ridden with the mindset that nobody can see me, even if they are looking straight at me, they can't see me. my only mode of transport for the first 3 years after getting my licence was on a bike. since then I've lived and breathed bikes for nearly 40 years. I agree that things have got worse in Australia. I have witnessed the rapid demise of the "average driver" I put it down to piss poor driver training coupled with some very bad road design. That's part of the reason I leave at 6 am with my riding buddies There are a lot less numptys around at that time of the morning. Nine times out of ten we only see a couple of other road users. Leave too late and the roads are crammed full of tourists, most who have left their brain residing in their suitcase at their hotels. Big city's are a whole different ball game. I did live in Melbourne for a number of years way back in the eighty's and ninety's and I would hazard a guess that the numptys there now would be prolific. I still had fun in the city though. I remember riding a road called the "Yarra Boulevard" I was working in town doing construction and would detour to ride my bike on this little stretch of twistys, scraping the expansion chambers on my very loved Yamaha RZ 500. In the weekends some local lads would constantly do laps up there. I also remember being pulled over by a copper on the eastern freeway heading into town doing 160 KPH and he let me off with a warning! Today that would be front page news, "Idiot biker dicing with death, 60 KPH over the speed limit" and I'd loose my licence for 3 months and cop an $1100 fine!!!! I jumped for joy when Queensland changed the rules and made it legal to lane split at traffic lights. (I always did it, but now its not frowned upon) You can get to the front of the queue, which is very satisfying in itself, but more importantly you get the jump off the lights and because bikes accelerate a lot faster than cars, you get to have your own space with no or very few cars in your vicinity. This is one of the keys to survival for the humble motorcycle rider (IMO)

don't see how that is possible. didn't have my car 4 years ago

I did have the air con on at the time. Ambient temp would have been about 24-25 to put some perspective on those temps. room temp is now sitting at 26° (aircon, we love you aircon)

I thought it would have used more of the GPU's

was editing video the other day and the particular software was smashing the CPU @ 100% for about 15 minutes. no problem with water cooling

got some more LED's today. These ones are for the vanity lights, glove box and front foot wells

that has to be a first

thanks @Wilko16 not bad for some sport touring thing

about as deep as hororscopes
