I've never been a BMW fan, but I do like this car from an engineering standpoint. Very interesting.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I like the i8, but I don't like the steering wheel...

 

[tiny voices]

The interior is definitely weird. For the money there are tons of other cars I'd have.

I think I'd much rather have a Tesla P85D if I was throwing that kind of money on a car.

On another note I ordered my Raven Z01 today. I decided that I couldn't wait any longer for the Z02, and the price that I found on Newegg for the Z01 was too good to pass up. I can't wait to get my mITX system built!

If I was throwing that much money at a car it would have no electric or hybrid motors of any kind. :lol:

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I'd still go for teh GT40(Superformance)..
If i have that kind of money, I should be able to pay for gas...

 

[tiny voices]

If I had that money would buy a used GTR (stupid cheap now) and do a simple 1000hp build, and then pocket the rest of the money.

For a few hundred K I'd find 5-10 acres with access to water and wood, build a tiny house on it, and not worry about cars.

 

[tiny voices]

Maybe one day I'll be there, but not yet :lol:

True.

But.. If I wanted to be practical, I'd put it to college and a house and all that adult stuff that I don't have to worry about it.

 

[tiny voices]

Yeah, true. I'd probably put a down payment on a house.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Oooh, its raining. Means I don't have to tear apart a hard drive(again).
More importantly, if the storm keeps up, no Open House!!

If I had that kind of money, I'd have a P85D as my daily driver, then something classic for weekend / highway driving like a 70's Challenger or Corvette Stingray. Oh yeah.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

That's actually... not a bad idea.. Except I have no free time so..

 

[Turb0Yoda]

PSU just came in..
Looks like Expedited shipping actually applied to the PSU. Also making a 2.0 kali Disk atm

 

[g-unit1111]

So I got my mini ITX build done today. I finally caved in and ordered a Silverstone Raven Z01. Glad I did - this thing is awesome. The build looks great, and I will post some pictures of it tomorrow. I'm loving this Zotac board - the UEFI is great and having built in Wifi is pretty sweet. I can't wait to see what this thing can do.

So my third official build with photos is up at PC Part Picker:

Very nice.

How thick is that fan on the side of the case?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

NOW my mom tells me I could ha e bought a E8500.... It has a bit more L2 cache and is .56 Ghz faster... And the TDP is only 20 watts up, which I could handle now.... Still waiting... I wish mom would let me do the PSU by myself... Prolly half an hour since I have to dissasble the case to get at the HDD

I'd actually buy that and mod the hell out of my GPU and CPU cooler to match

Not sure, it looks like a 140mm fan but I'm not sure of the exact dimensions.

Installed the PSU. Computer turns on... Mouse if frozen with the loading logo can't move it but yeah... I cut a wire... Not sure what it was for so I'm going into device manager. PC will run hot now because the Seasonic HAS SO many DAMNED CABLES. 11/10 going for a modular PSU if I do a build...

Yeah, you can only do so much with those cables. I am using a Modular. Sure helps the air flow.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Yep.
Everything is alright so far. Turns out the cable I cut was for the front USB nub, which was already broken so that didn't matter. Also, I put my DVD drive in wrong so.... I need to fix that... The tray gets blocked by the case... oops

Seasonic has some nice Modular PSUs at decent prices. I just finished an upgrade. Doing upgrades every two years is getting old.
