Nope still pouring water out today.
Is it shite smelling water? That's why I ended up throwing away stuff that I could've probably saved. Let some instrument cases dry out for months while I dealt with the house. Went back to them, still had water trapped in them and at that point just didn't want to smell that shite anymore.

I kept a guitar case and ended up throwing it bc it still smelled like arse 8 months later. Anything electrical that wasn't plugged in and didn't have a MDF enclosure got cleaned off and salvaged.
Couple pedals didn't even get water inside although getting fully submerged.
My SKB case main power still works but the mini jack slots don't. I remade a felt pad for the velcro but not sure that will work out long term.

Oh yeah. You know first hand the sediment which comes with flood waters.
I did take my 500GB SSD out. Hoping that can be saved but thats like the cheapest of all the electronics which are fckked.

Fckk any guitars lost?
What sucks but seems like an easy fix are connectors with rust. The gold on connectors didn't rust obviously but I guess what you would call the housing did pretty quickly. That is an easy fix with sand paper IMO.
This whole experience will make me insurance, document and plan better for the future of our next home. Good luck I learned on an apartment with very few things unlike our house taking a hit. Could not fckking imagine. Truly feel for you guys last year and everyone affected by Harvey.
Edt: Did flood insurance and FEMA come close to covering at less 50% of lost to property? What is crazy, during Katrina ppl made money from the disaster. Now I can't even get transitional assistance being "middle class". But boy the lower income brackets have nothing to worry about in terms of compensation.

Made this desk top (70"x28") just to use with my gaming laptop since I already had the Pro for main gaming while away.
Well the plane was to bring up the previous week to the apartment. Good luck I didn't, that could have been the biggest lost next to the cheap 4K Vizio since the top is made with sinker cypress.
It will use these 2 legs.

That looks pretty good.

That looks really clean.
I just built my desk out of 2x4s, 3/4" sheet of plywood, and a sheet of luan on top of the plywood for a smooth surface. It's sturdy as frick, but looks like complete shite

Wanted to post this last week but Harvey clean up sort of got in the way.
"The Mote in God's Eye" isn't the greatest but one of the first to introduce me to SciFi. It was my favorite book until Daniel Suarez's techno-thriller "Daemon".

Looking to update my older build. What price am i looking at for just a budget build? Doesn't have to be top of the line. I think i did my last build for between $600-$700, is that still possible?

What all are you wanting to upgrade? CPU+Mobo and a new GPU? Or you needing new case, PSU, SSD, etc?

I would like to get away with just doing a CPU + MOBo + GPU. I would have to see if my PSU could push what I got.

This is assuming you will need DDR4 memory as well.

Guess the leap forward in GPU power stressed him out. He did apologize for that, poor guy. Guess he needs more time to reflect more on the decision to steal headlines with HBM.
AMD Radeon Technologies Group Raja Koduri Goes on Sabbatical
AMD Radeon Technologies Group Raja Koduri Goes on Sabbatical

Radeon Technologies Group SVP and Chief Architect Raja Koduri is taking sabbatical from AMD as of today, with a target return date in December. As first reported by our friends at Fudzilla (and also Tweaktown), and that I was able to confirm through AMD this evening, one of our favorite people in the graphics industry will be stepping aside for the time being. AMD CEO Lisa Su will be taking over the Radeon Technologies Group in the interim.

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming w/ GTX 1060 and Thunderbolt 3 for $999
I picked up this same laptop with a 1050 Ti about 3 weeks ago. Luckily I can exchange thru AMEX. Will pay additional $75 bucks out of pocket but IMO worth it for a 1060.

HBM was the right call, always advance technology don't be scared. He is the best mind in the industry, wish he had a huge R&D budget to work with instead of such a small one.
Vega 56 is a monster god damn am I happy.
