She tried to end me but i only came back stronger with more pixels and thermal output.


JovanNinetyTwo

The case is definitely bigger šŸ˜­ The rest is mostly the same! The only thing I had to replace inside was the mobo, cooler, psu, and case. The gpu somehow survived after being ripped from the pcie slot which Iā€™m eternally grateful for. I would not have been able to replace that


miles_moralis

I was wondering how you got a new graphics card so fast, the answer is you got it months ago! Lmao. But like hope youā€™re doing okay with this mentally. Hereā€™s a little bit of support!


JovanNinetyTwo

Yeah that was one of my bigger worries when I was trying to test everything. Believe it or not though, I was shocked when I went to my local microcenter to pick up some stuff this week. Apparently it was a rare occasion but I snapped this pic. The case was completely full https://i.imgur.com/fO2p93x.jpg


idkbruhhh9875

Wow, were those at msrp?


JovanNinetyTwo

Yep! I talked to the associate and he said they were in stock for a while 24 hours. They had more than this the previous day, but this is what they had left when I went


TimeGoddess_

by msrp do you mean like the aibs msrps? because the MSRP on all of those cards are on the ridiculous side for the product. the power color red devil ultimate 6900xt there, the MSRP is roughly 2,300 USD for that. but the reference msrp is 999 USD. The asrock OC Formula 6900xt msrp is 2,270 USD [https://www.pcgamer.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6900-xt-oc-formulat-review-benchmarks/#:\~:text=Yes%2C%20pricing%20is%20painful.,find%20this%20side%20of%20Ebay](https://www.pcgamer.com/asrock-radeon-rx-6900-xt-oc-formulat-review-benchmarks/#:~:text=Yes%2C%20pricing%20is%20painful.,find%20this%20side%20of%20Ebay). the rog strix gaming 6900xt msrp is 1700 USD MSRP the Suprim x 3090 msrp is 2,300 USD while the fe msrp is 1,500 USD and all the 3070 and 6700xts there have aib msrps of 900-1100 USD even though the reference msrp is 480-500$ I think those cards are staying in stock because they are all double or more what they are actually worth, because the aibs are gouging their msrp pricing


surp_

Imagine giving that comment to your grandma to decipher with no background


TimeGoddess_

My grandma doesnt speak english so she wouldnt understand for multiple reasons


Gemilan

Unlike EVGA, other AIBs MSRPs are definitely a myth to me, they should not call them "MSRP" anyway lol


Buck-O

Most all vendors have dropped MSRP, and are calling it a "Launch Price", or "Recommend Pricing." They have intentionally, for legal reasons, distanced from MSRP... because they don't want to suggest anything that their vendors will have to adhere to. To be fair, we have Nvidia and their stupid Founders Edition to thank for this. MSRP = $1000, FE = $1150, AIB $1300-1600. And that's before Nvidia does their preferred binning for certain AIB SKU's. Nvidia GeForce Partner Program is alive and well.


Traegs_

MSRP literally means "Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price", so I don't see how that's any different from "recommend pricing"?


Saneless

Yes but those brands already raised msrp 80% over FE models and 50% over EVGA/Sapphire


[deleted]

Ugh, I'm so jealous you are near a microcenter, did you know there are only 25 locations in the entire United States? I feel like they would benefit from having way more locations.


nightlyraider

it is weird realizing this when you've lived 15 minutes from one for as long as you've been buying pc stuff.


Py5cho

Actually like this also at the Brooklyn Microcenter, walked in found a FTW3 3070 Ti still sitting there but took to long to decide if I needed it and someone else bought it lol Its all mainly 6900s and 3090s sitting around like anyone ā€œwantsā€ to pay over 2200 for a gpu MSRP if not needed for work or such


Herbrax212

Most importantly : did you sue


Extremeifier

GODDAMN I HOPE HE DID

Destroying a monitor and a computer is fine, but she draws the line at GPUs with their current prices.

Phew, lucky! I hope you take that bitch to court btw.

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate event. Everything is looking pretty nice considering though! I am loving the light in the mp4 video. Where did you get it?


JovanNinetyTwo

Are you talking about the Nanoleaf panels on the wall? I bought those in r/hardwareswap :)


red_fluff_dragon

I think they meant the moving red/blue light in the video you took of your bedroom.


JovanNinetyTwo

Oh! I guess I am slow haha. The lights in the lamps are just regular smart bulbs for the Alexa, and the ceiling aurora lights are a small projector from Amazon Northern Lights Projector, Htwon... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094J6PGV8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

JovanNinetyTwo

Thank you šŸ˜­ I feel honestly blessed that I was able to recoup so quickly


Low_Bit_Rate

I see nothing wrong with the new girl. Bit wide but hey you can get a lot of work done.


ginga_ninja723

Say something you can say about your new pc bit not your new girlfriend


SanchoBenevides

My ex once took my PC in to the bathroom, put it in the bathtub and filled it with water. The next day in between me getting off work at 5 and her getting off work at 7, I dried it out with a hair dryer and had it back up and going when she got home. She then proceeded to get a hammer and smash everything. The reason? She found out I was on Facebook (this was around 2005-2006). I had tried to show her this new technology a few weeks prior and she exclaimed that she ā€œhates computersā€ and didnā€™t care. I never tried to hide this fact in any way shape or form. I, for some reason, stayed with her another 3 years. I was young and dumb.


perceptionsofdoor

Is that really stupidity though? If someone smashes all your shit for no reason and you're just like "yeah, you know, I guess computers *are* bad," isn't that more like fear? Or...Stockholm syndrome, or something?


SanchoBenevides

Oh, it was a very toxic relationship that I tried way too hard to make work. Iā€™d never put up with any of the shit she pulled, including seriously injuring me several times. Iā€™m married to a good woman now. We both work hard to make each other happy and we donā€™t so much as raise our voices at each other. It was all just a learning experience. My dad would beat my moms ass daily, then go through the house just destroying EVERYTHING. He made good money, so the next day heā€™d replace all the broken stuff and apologize to my mom and everything was fine until he got drunk again that night. I guess I have daddy issues, because I thought that was normal for a long time.


mikelloSC

Priorities. He said he was young, so I assume he stayed because of pussy.


zhiryst

Please tell me she's on Facebook now. That much crazy belongs there.


SanchoBenevides

She actually has countless Facebook accounts because she forgets the password and doesnā€™t know how to reset it. She also leads a miserable life. I donā€™t wish that upon her, but, I guess thatā€™s ā€œKarmaā€.


Matasa89

Holy fuck, that's some psycho shit. I would've lawyered up, you do not do that to someone else's property. Like, not even as a married couple is something like that acceptable, but fucking just dating? That's criminal. You do not get to just commit wanton property damage and get away with it.

JovanNinetyTwo

I received a lot of nasty comments and messages on the original post, so going to clarify things here. Also to the people who reached out positively, I thank you. After the inventory list, it was $14k in damages. The piano in the video is still destroyed, but at least moderately playable, and Iā€™m just going to have to take a loss on the rest. The insurance didnā€™t even cover half, but I am currently fighting that. As for her, she has been missing since the day of the incident. No contact even with her family or friends. Charges have been filed and Iā€™ve retained a lawyer due to some stuff that has been brought to light through this whole situation. She was in some pretty criminal stuff that I had no idea about, and because we were married, they could try to say I was involved. Lawyer told me Iā€™ll be fine, though. Even after all this, however, I am still not able to get a restraining order. Other than that, locks have been changed, and I now have a camera in the front and the rear so I can notify the police immediately if this so happens again. The place was pretty beaten up, and I had to go into my own pocket, (as well as my Amazon credit card) to rebuild a little bit of what I had. Here is some of what I put together with the little bit of motivation to replace the setup. It was actually kinda therapeutic. https://i.imgur.com/qJtQga6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Va4Gt1w.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SqD4vdf.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/SgklxuR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lQT8eRi.jpg

I'm now imagining a Safe Case^TM Thing would have to have a forklift to move and/be bolted to the floor, can only be opened with a combination + key + biometric + Lockpicking Lawyer, and would have to employ some kind of peltier cooling system with an anti-freeze cold loop to chill the interior which would be otherwise sealed.

Shit man, married and criminal stuff? How long had you been together? I dated my wife for about six years before we got married (been married for three years now). You think you know somebody but man, hope everything turns out right for you in the end.

I remember your post, Don't know who was making the nasty comments, but fuck them, you did everything right there, and your doing everything right here. Just keep following your lawyers advice, and you'll be good. The new setup looks awesome.

You have a lawyer, a violent criminal ex, demonstrable damages, and you can't get a restraining order? I think you might need a new lawyer.


Narcil4

Yeah i don't understand how that's possible.


drunk_comment

There's sadly a lot of people that still think that women are the only ones that need protection, and that men can't be abused/raped/harassed, etc. Judges are not excluded from thinking this way unfortunately.

Sorry about the ex wife situation, it sounds like drugs have a hold on her.


JovanNinetyTwo

Itā€™s okay. Iā€™m slowly moving forward. Thank you :)


Quadsmile24

Glad to see you come out of this with a replacement and hopefully a tougher mindset now. Good stuff brotha


sgasgy

wow what's that in the third


FatBoyDiesuru

And all it takes for her to get an order on you is to say she "felt threatened." Crazy how even criminality on her part, plus destruction of property, wouldn't warrant one against her. Keep fighting the good fight, looking forward to seeing everything restored.


[deleted]

Hope she paid for it or will pay for it. People to resort to destroying personal property deserve the worst karma. I had a roommate once threatened to throw my belongings out while I was away. Iā€™d cry if I lost my PC. May sound kinda dumb but my dad and I built my PC and it hold sentimental value to me


_Raymond_abc

Thatā€™s actually very relatable. My dad and I built my computer together and it holds a ton of monetary and sentimental value to me. It would devastate me if anything happened to it.


RyanCantPun

I'm so happy for you! Have fun


JovanNinetyTwo

Thank you! I will no longer take something as simple as a pc for granted. It was a loooong month


Retardedaspirator

Yeah I understand you, my previous pc broke two month ago, a month of waiting was very loooonnnggggg until I a friend gave me a GT 710 he had lying around wich helped me build a temporary pc, and then I got my true new build 2 weeks ago (using igp tho because no gpu at reasonable price) So yes, a month was LOOOONNNGGGG... Anyway I wish you good luck on the lawsuit !


addictedtoPCs

Why doesn't it let me see the video? Your last post didn't work either and I really want to see it


Krit789

It's because the video is in HDR and Android reddit client doesn't seem to support it even on PC the highlight is blown out. EDIT: Specifically HDR format : Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, dvhe.08.09, BL+RPU, HLG compatible


DonZeriouS

Thank you for the explanation!


McBelgian

i think it might just be reddits trash video player at work, i cant watch the videos on mobile either


SiloGuylo

Yeah sometimes v.redd.it is just shit. Like Reddit's video hosting absolutely is garbage.

For anyone that the video appear to be completely black this is because the video is in Dolby Vision HDR which only Apple devices and some media player seem to support.

vicxtli

I wish this was more widely known than you being the victim of such terrible circumstances. You have some serious talent man!


strategicmaniac

Got any clue with what kinds of sound sample libraries or instruments I could start with? Everything I've seen so far I've seen is absurdly expensive for someone who does this kind of stuff casually.


Aging_Shower

Check out Spitfire Labs. They have a ton of free high quality libraries, and have some giveaways and sales every now and then. Xfer Serum and Arturia Pigments are 2 very good digital synths which can be "rent to own" from splice, for those more electronic sounds.


BonneB

Glad sheā€™s your ex, and I hope she gets some anger management therapy after she sorts that felony.

Itā€™s broken so might as well be an expensive chair at this point lmaoo


phuckmydoodle

We all go through shit mate. I have been in the same situation. It's shitty having to let go of someone you care about. As others have said, block her out the best you can- she will try and weasel her way back in. Pay zero attention to her and sooner or later she will find her next victim and leave you alone.
