Love me some fried PC power supply. nVidia RTX 3000 series GPUs are no joke on power consumption. I ordered a "NEW" workstation with a larger capacity standard ATX power supply. Thank goodness I didn't order an RTX 4000 series.

I got an nVidia RTX 3060 and a bigger power supply to feed the beast, I should have everything here by Monday to start the upgrade.

It is a Samsung. And the old video card wasn't too bad. It's a GTX-1650OC, I didn't upgrade it because the old Optiplex that I use as a workstation doesn't have a 12v graphics card power cable. I just found a way around it by getting a slightly newer power supply that has a second 12v 6-pin...

A new burr type coffee grinder to replace one that has stopped working after 6 years.

Every part from Vanquish that I have gotten is excellent quality. The major pieces were their licensed Currie axles.

My coffee maker died so I went and bought me a new Keurig. I seem to have better luck with those than any of the others.

Mine was too.

Picked up a new ceramic non-stick skillet for my mom for Mother's Day since she was complaining about her old one.

Picked up larger NVME SSD for the laptop as well as some more RAM. This thing should be as overpowered as my RC trucks by the time I'm finished...
