    It’s the HDMI cord, and yes, it is braided. Zeskit Maya HDMI 2.1 to be exact. Fit the specs, it’s reviewed well, and it’s not ripping me off by costing more than any digital signal interface should. I still don’t understand why anyone would ever pay more than $20 for an HDMI cord, unless you’re running some crazy distance that requires active power for repeaters or something.

    I had originally intended to place my PC further away than it is presently, so now I’ve got this 10ft long cord when a nice little 2-3ft would have sufficed. Oh well, at least I can move it around the room if the need ever arises. I’ll likely have a monitor and proper desk before that ever happens though. You all should see the “desk” I’m using. It’s for people that ride exercise bikes, but it actually works very well for how I’m using it. My only complaint is that it was $100 and it doesn’t provide a whole lot of space. I might return it and just get a proper desk, because once I do, I’ll really have no use for this thing.


  • Which fan? The rear exhaust? I think it just looks that way, but there aren’t any cables running from inside the case to the outside. I did wrap the fan’s cable around the fan frame and then into the mobo header because it was such a long cable, and it was the first thing I thought of to clean it up. The HDMI cable in the back kind of makes it look like it’s running outside the case in the first pic.

    I think you’re right though, the RGB on the memory is growing on me. I might be too old for more flash than that though lol. All of the flashy lights would be screaming for my ADD’s attention.



  • I came here from Reddit. To be honest I’m a little confused as to what’s going on on the backend, but upfront it looks pretty much like Reddit. Definitely makes the transition easy. Now I just need to read up about what exactly is going on with ‘instances’ and all of the unseen stuff.

    I got rid of my Twitter account about 6 months ago. I feel like Reddit is about to follow the same route. You’d like to see a community grow, but really as long as it’s sizeable enough to generate solid quality content and users engaging with one another, then that’s big enough. Kind of reminds me of early 2000’s websites with Forums like SharkyForums and Rage3D.
