@letsbekind2 @drazisil probably weird federation fun lol

@phantomkitty WAN is "wide area network" ie - the internet (or other larger outside network) LAN is "local area network"

A router is the magic in the middle that allows multiple local machines to talk over a single ip to the rest of the world.

You may be confusing WAN with WLAN (wireless lan)

@thomasfuchs somewhere around 35 at the moment. 5" portable TVs, 13" TVs, VGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, iMac G3s, PS/2 model 25, Wyse Terminals, Wang Monitors.

I might have a problem.

Now, had I done my homework, the specs page states this clearly. However, I purchased based upon the title alone, expecting all the ports to be gigabit, as it was 2020 afterall... Who still puts 100mbps chips in their devices?

Asus.. That's who.. Then put gigabit in the title for suckers who only read the title.

A year or two ago, I purchased an Asus RT-AC51U "Dual-Band AC750 WiFi 4-port Gigabit Router with USB device sharing"

The WAN port is 100mbps
The LAN ports are 100mbps
The Wifi is AC750 (WiFi 5 capable of max of about 433mbps)

I purchased this because their page stated it was a gigabit router, and I planned to upgrade my service to gigabit eventually. Which I recently did. I'm enjoying my 100mbps connection still.

Quick poll for the audience (please boost for reach)

You see a WiFi Router marketed as: "Dual-Band AC750 Wifi 4-port Gigabit Router with USB device sharing"

Your impression is the device:

For my review of the case, here's what I put in at Newegg. It was $45 shipped, not too bad.

The Mainboard was in my scrap pile. I can't find my i7 4770, so just tossed in the i5 for now. Using the stock fan for a top intake, with the 1080's rad for exhaust. Cable managed as best possible.

Have a full ATX PSU coming.

Total cost for the build for me was about $100 (just for the case and PSU, as I had everything else laying around)

Just kinda want to show off my latest build, a cursed home for the 1080TI FTW3 Hybrid that was given to me for Christmas from a friend. Will do VR duty for my Rift S (which I haven't used since I went back to linux on my main rig last year), and maybe steam streaming for non-proton-friendly games.

Mainboard: Dell XPS 8700
CPU: i5 4590
RAM: 20GB DDR3
SSD: Hynix 512GB 2.5" SATA SSD
HDD: HGST 1TB SATA
GPU: eVGA 1080TI FTW3 Hybrid
PSU: Lian Li SFX 750W (temporary)
Case: Matrexx 40

@SinclairSpeccy@bitbang.social I saw one of my follows boost one of your posts, and they were relevant to my interests :) Being the retro realm helps, but I'm also a Linux guy, and like playing with microcontrollers, so it was a good fit!

@roygreenhilt They're in the 3rd drawer down on the left in the basement cabinet..

@SinclairSpeccy@bitbang.social Hell yes, it was Friendly! The whole friendly marketing was based upon the manuals that came with the computer, which were among the most user-friendly at the time, and even well into the future. It even had happy little Vic helping you along :)

@hazel @d_j_fitzgerald Mac 400/800k floppy drive eject gears are always bad. Luckily, you can find them pretty cheap! Not too hard to replace either. Keyboard could be one of several issues though, so that one's a bit more of a toughie.

My new keyboard is GLORIOUS! #GMMK barebones, loaded with Outemu blues, and a custom keycap set built from 3 other sets. Types like a dream, sounds amazing. I'm in love!

@ozretrocomp your screen damage is at the top, mine is at the bottom.

Can we trade? Lol

I got to recap my refrigerator tonight! That was unexpected. GE GSH25SGRB SS. Was just clicking.
No compressor, wasn't cooling.
Main board had two caps going bulgy wulgy. Nichicon 470uf @ 25V.

I didn't have the right caps in stock, so just used what I had on hand (cheapo bulk Chinese caps) - they'll probably last a few weeks until the right ones come in.

It's working again for now, at least :)

@eaches it has survived the years quite well besides a little yellowing. Definitely well built!
