RE: Transitioning to a new Case - Review of the Nanoxia Deep Silence 3

in #technology7 years ago

Personally, I use an Asus laptop for school, writing, media consumption, and average day to day things. I also have a workstation PC that I use for content creation, gaming, and more power heavy tasks.
PC Build:
GTX 980ti
32gb of Ballistix DDR4
(a mess of hard drives and ssds)
Intel i7 5820k
Asus x99 Deluxe Motherboard
all put together in a Corsair 780t

Sort:  

That is a sick build man! I'm rocking an I7-3770 with a gtx 970. 8gb of ram, ssd and 2 HDD's. I made a review of my cheap chinese laptop I use for bringing with me. It's the best combination of power and productivity.

Thank you. See, my only problem with my build is that Intel isn't supporting the x99 series firmware, which means that I won't be getting any BIOS updates against Meltdown or Spectre. Also, you know a cool project I was thinking about doing with a bunch of old laptops batteries? I was thinking about making a backup battery for my office and also a portable 500-watt battery, with an inverter to take places.

Yeah, I had been looking at some videos of those projects as well, people making electric bikes and whatnot from old li-ion cells from laptops. Cool stuff, but when you see the price of UPS's nowadays, maybe it's worth investing as they don't cost more than 150 bucks. (this is for offline UPS, On-Line ones are much more expensive.)

Yea but they only last like 20 minutes and being they use lead acid batteries you could get more electricity stored in the same space with old laptop batteries. Also something I looked into was using an old UPS for $20 with no battery then adapting it to take a lithium battery.
