Yeah sucks but at less it wasn't my house.

What i'm reading, financial resources will be tough to come by with FEMA only allocated $7.6B. High end estimates have the total damage north of $80MM.

Thanks blue, I am probably going to be waiting on sales/deals on most components, I am not in too much of a hurry

Yep, I feel terrible to even have the thought of oh man I have to buy the same consoles and TV again.

If my home flooded like this I would probably shoot myself. Esp since we are about to sell and build again in 2018.

Just landed in L.A. and there are a lot of Aggies here for the UCLA game. Wonder if any of them post here.

Agreed. Some are just worse than others.

Some are just terrible for different reasons. LAX it is the amount of ppl and terminals, MSY it is lazy fckking workers.

Today is Labor day so I decided to go to one of the local escape rooms, https://thequestfactory.com/ . It will be a small celebration with my family. I have heard many positive reviews so I hope it will worth it.

Not particually interested in mobile varients but i'm a sucker for AMD APUs.

Zen Meeting Vega in AMD "Raven Ridge" APU Confirmed
quote:

The "Raven Ridge" silicon will hence feature up to 4 CPU cores, with SMT enabling up to 8 threads, up to 8 MB of L3 cache, a "Vega" based graphics core with up to 12 NGCUs making 768 stream processors, a dual-channel DDR4 integrated memory controller, and the same integrated southbridge as "Summit Ridge," featuring two SATA 6 Gb/s ports, and USB 3.0 ports directly from the SoC. In addition, you get a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface for graphics, which can be split into two x8 for 2-way multi-GPU. The OpenCL listings speak about two distinct variants, one with 11 NGCUs, and another with 8. AMD plans to roll out the first "Raven Ridge" based products as Ryzen 5 series and Ryzen 7 series mobile APUs, with a desktop debut a little later.

Just got my delivery estimate for my Vega 56, Tuesday the 12th. Not bad at all.

Holding out for a $399 Vega 56 definitely paid off.

Gonna be hard to resist flipping it when I would rather have an AIB in a few weeks.

Nope still pouring water out today.

I still have my flooded HTPC. Luckily the XBONE was high up in a hutch over the PC monitors.

Shitty to have to replace everything no doubt.

Yeah, its just.. fckk.

Esp since I just bought most of the electronics for this apartment. Don't like to pull stuff from home just for my apartments when i'm away from home on a project.

Before leaving I put everything up, but mostly just waist high. Wasn't expecting 4-5ft of water.

What you had in the HTPC? This is from last year's Central flood right?

Edt: I brought my TV back home this weekend. Any TV repairmen in the BR/NOLA area? Wondering if I can get it fixed.

Yep. Used to live off ONeal in BR.

It wasn't much to speak of. Just a I3 3100t, integrated video. Quad tuner CETON and several TB of recordings. Blu Ray drive. Nice Silverstone HTPC case. I kept it bc of the case. Tried ram and CPU in another board... nope!

It played Minecraft ok and of course recorded all our shows...saved us 15 a month in DVR fees.
