    Time to build mama a new gaming rig

    7800X3D would be my CPU choice for a gaming rig. NVIDIA Super series are just now being released. 4070 Super is out and the 4070 Ti Super will be next followed by the 4080 Super. I believe the 4080 is being discontinued.

    $795 for Garage Door repair.

    I wonder how much they used for $180? I'm not in the garage door business but we use 7x19 galvanized aircraft cable where I work. Purchased some 3/16" this summer for about $0.30 per foot.

    Tried pricing out the new Ryzen AM5 system-insane!

    Small world. Thought that model sounded familiar. I purchased the same one back in 2008. I did return it (don't recall why). Ended up with an Asus P5K which is still running today with the E8400 Core 2 Duo as media server. For AM5, I believe the B650 boards are coming out soon which will help...

    Wood Pellet Smoker

    I have an older model Green Mountain Daniel Boone that I got for free from a friend. After he had a grease fire, it didn't function like it should. I put a new control board (upgraded to the WiFi model) which fixed the issues. Overall it works well. If I were in the market for a new pellet...

    Amazon Firestick - 3rd Gen

    Just upgraded my 2nd gen Firestick to a the 4k version. Don't have a 4k TV but needed something that could direct stream HEVC from my media server (which the 2nd gen couldn't). The 3rd gen and the 4k are very similar in specs but the 4k does have a little more RAM so I went with that model (only...

    Any long term reviews on Cooper Discoverer At3 4s?

    I had Cooper AT/W's on my Sierra a few years ago. Ran them year around for a little over 50,000 miles with no abnormal wear. Rotated about every 7500 miles and kept them around 32-34 PSI. They were a good tire and thought about going with again but decided to go with the Falken A/T3W's when it...

    I'm looking for a good free 2D cad program?

    I have played around with the free version of NanoCAD which appears to be very similar to AutoCAD. You can save as .dxf which is pretty generic 2D file formats that about any CAD software can open.

    Tire recommendations for a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox

    Thank you everyone for the feedback. Been doing some more research and the Toyo Celsius CUV have my interest. These "all weather" tires with the severe snow service rating appear to meet my needs.

    Hello everyone. My work car will be due for new tires soon. Its a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox LS with AWD. Current tires are the OEM Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus in 225/65R17 102H.

    Which bilstein shock for rear of avalanche?

    I went with the Bilstein 4600 series in the rear on my Sierra. From the research I did at the time, the 4600 series are the same as the 5100 series except for the color and they are the same length as OEM (not intended for lifted suspensions).

    What is this hunk of steel on my Silverado?

    I wonder if this bracket could be a safety feature to prevent the vehicle from going over top of a smaller/lower vehicle when involved in a front end collision.
