I built a miniature Va11 Hall-A Bar inside of my PC!!

Va11 Hall-A PC Parts & Build list

PC:

CPU : Intel I9 14900k

GPU: Intel Arc A770 16gb

Ram: Corsair Dominator 64gb 5600

Mobo: Maxsun Terminator Z790 D5 wifi

Hard drives M.2: Samsung 990 pro 2tb, Samsung 970 evo plus 1tb, CT 1tb,                                 Adata 500gb

PSU: ROG Thor 850 P2

Cables: Cablemod.com custom shortened and sleeved

Water loop distro : EKWB FLT 120 reservoir + D5 pump

Water loop cpu block: ThermalTake Pacific Mx2 Ultra 

Water loop radiators: Alphacool HPE 20 x 2

Water loop hardware: 15 Alphacool, 3 EKWB, 2 Alphacool soft, 2 granzon    

Water loop tubes: EKWB Acrylic tube 14mm, Alphacool 13/10 soft

Air Cooling : ThermalTake Toughfan 120mm x 3  + Controller

Air Cooling : Noctua 40mm pwm server fan x 2 (non visible)

Additional RGB Control : Coolermaster controller

Case:

Lian Li PC V600, left side mount, released in 2006, I acquired it in 2015 from PC Recycle in sodo Seattle.

I had to track down a new foot, one had been missing since I acquired the case (ebay)

Mods:These are the case mods I did personally

Cut a hole for the cpu mounts in the Motherboard mount plate as this case was designed for older hardware 

Cut two 120mm blowholes and added aluminum covers (Dremel)

Cut Front and rear windows into side panels (Dremel Max)

Moved PSU from vertical placement in the lower right side of the case in front of the CPU  to horizontal placement in the top left in old drive bays. 

The PSU bracket had to be cut to show the OLED on the side. 

Modded the side panel rail slide to accommodate the PSU, I used the original aluminum stand the psu was on, cut in half and epoxied with JB weld. 

Changed and moved Power/ Reset switch to the back of the case, shortened and spliced the cable

I cut and bent my own 14mm acrylic tubes (hobby miter, heat gun). 

Cut and made two way mirror for the front panel

Plastic "truss" is both functional and aesthetic. It came from a Gunpla accessory kit and has two cables passing through it and it acts as the GPU support. I could only get red and had to paint it.

Notice that some logos are missing/ covered, I dislike having a case as an advertisement. The Rog eye on the PSU is mostly covered but iykyk, most of the word "Intel" on the ARC GPU, Two of the Thermaltake logos on the fan edges, the Paint on the Thermaltake Mx2 Ultra and Maxsun terminator heatsink. (I will eventually cover the visible SSD with a heat sink, cover the fan info on the rear and work a cover for the word "dominator"). the one logo explicitly unchanged is the LianLi case badge, if I think of a perfect replacement, maybe then.

Mod I did not do:

I did NOT shorten and sleeve my own cables, I used cable-mod.com. I am not confident in my ability to do this.

BAR:

"Bar Tiny" Re-ment sets from Japan, 17 sets involved. 

 I customized the color of the bar and chairs and shortened one table for the mezzanine. The whole bar, minus barback- is on a removable 7 inch piece of black acrylic for cleaning.

Jill Stingray Nendoroid

Jils Cat, it sleeps on the GPU

Jill Stool: Jill is glued to a cute doll stool to see over the bar

Jill Accessories non-Nendoroid: cellphone, purse, coat (ebay)

Dorothy Haze Nendoroid

will be added on release.

Bar Back:I made this myself

Black acrylic sheet, and frosted acrylic rods.

Doll Light power kit: 8 Led lights, 4 incandescent lights

USB Doll light power strip

Other Bar Accessories:

Overhead Hanging farmhouse light

trash, mop, broom, pan, mop bucket, 

2 blue fuzzy chairs 

Miniature plants

Miniature Microphone

Mini bottle Dom Perignon, an xmas gift from my friend nemo, it's

 on the top shelf 

Problems and changes:

1. ARGB, pretty pretty pain in the ass. 4 pieces of software........

2. The water loop was changed extensively as hardware came in and space limitations were discovered. The biggest change is that I originally planned to have one radiator on the front of the case, the tubes running over Jills head and to light the tubes as lighting for the bar, to do this the fan would have been in the case proper pushing the whole bar to far into the mobo, it didn't work, so the loop was moved to the top of the case and caused me to have one complex bent tube 

 Second, I had planned the loop to use one sideport on the distro, but space limitation moved both ports to the top causing the complex fittings setup in that corner.   

3. The MOBO, sigh. This has been clearly the most challenging choice I made in this build, I really wanted it to work perfectly too, but I rolled those dice because: Aesthetic+function, the board I wanted (https://en.colorful.cn/en/home/product?mid=84&id=400d19bc-5655-49e1-b391-df00b60935ef) was to great a risk for the cost. This was a silver medal. 

I generally dislike the design options I had in the Z790 series of the big board makers (I  HATE big logos), especially the full ATX, there was one M that interested me, I should have picked it . This board has potential, but the BIOS is underdeveloped and compatibility has been problematic, I had to do a tricky outdated style BIOS update right from the box, and have had to reset the cmos a couple times. It skips BIOS on general boot and though stable, it will have to be addressed eventually, it doesn't have a proper sleep because of some issue between uefi & legacy. It may end up replaced, which will require a full build teardown.

the Turbo fan built into the board doesn't seem to function

Alos, the two argb connections on the mobo dont work, or I can't get them to recognize anything, necessitating the Coolermaster controller for the PSU and Distro. it is shoved behind the distro along with a Noctua 40mm

A day after Jewish college kids found it necessary to barricade themselves inside a library in the center of Greenwich Village while a mob of repugnant terrorist-lovers banged on the locked doors trying to get at them, the message is being broadcast that, on this Sabbath, Jews in Brooklyn had better remain at home.

Stay inside.

Lock the doors.

A pro-Palestinian protest is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday in front of the Brooklyn Museum.

That’s a mile from 770 Eastern Parkway, the headquarters of the largest ultra-Orthodox sect in the world, the Lubavitch Hasidim.

Roughly 20,000 observant Jews live around 770, in the neighborhood called Crown Heights.

“Jews should definitely avoid the area,” an ultra-Orthodox news site called COLlive.com said a “security source” had advised them and the Shmira, the local Jewish self-defense association.

“There’s no intel at this time in which direction the protest will head. Locals should definitely stay away from Eastern Parkway in that area.”

The Jews of Brooklyn feel they are at risk, and — this is the implicit corollary — they cannot be protected.

On the Sabbath, observant Jews do not use electricity or vehicles or screens of any kind.

To pass the time on a Sabbath afternoon, they often go on a long walk.

Not this weekend.

As the security source said, after all, who knows which direction the mob will go?

Better for the Jews to stay inside.

Just as it became a matter of life and death for them to stay inside back in 1991, in the very same neighborhood.

What everyone is afraid of is a repeat of August 1991.

In Crown Heights that year, a three-day anti-Jewish riot followed a tragic automobile accident that took the life of a 7-year-old black child after he was hit by a car being driven by a Hasidic Jew.

Not only were 38 Jews beaten, seven Jewish-owned businesses were looted and burned to the ground.

“Let’s go get a Jew,” a mob chanted, and then they did — they murdered an Australian doctoral student named Yankel Rosenbaum, stabbing him and smashing in his skull.

Simplicius the Thinker has an important post up giving evidence that the Israel war against the Palestinians and the US operations in the Middle East are buckling, to the degree that US-friendly sources and even officials are acknowledging setbacks and stresses. Early on, Simplicius describes how the ne plus ultra of neocon strategy, the Institute for Study of War, is reporting that Israel has lost ground to Hamas in North Gaza, an area it maintained it had so firmly under its control that it could pull out ground forces.

The Cradle confirms Simplicius’ overall assessment in Israel loses control of its borders:

For the first time in its 76-year history, Israel’s entire security calculations have been turned upside down: the occupation state is today grappling with buffer zones inside Israel. In past wars, it was Tel Aviv that established these “security zones” inside enemy territory — advancing Israel’s strategic geography, evacuating Arab populations near their state border areas, and fortifying its own borders…. Today, Israel is horrified to find itself retreating from direct confrontation lines with its arch-enemies in Gaza and Lebanon. The formidable capabilities of the resistance now include drones, rockets, targeted projectiles, tunnels, and spanking new shock tactics, casting doubt on the feasibility of Israeli settlers remaining safe in any of Israel’s border perimeters.

There is a big sour note in Simplicius’ otherwise informative piece, in that he follows the US official trope that “Iran” is driving the multi-front military operations against Israel. As others on Simplicius’ beat have pointed out, he is very good on military analysis but weak on politics. Hamas launched October 7 without giving Iran a head’s up. The Houthis and Hezbollah get support from Iran and no doubt share intel, but they are independent actors.

The Axis of Resistance, as some like to call it, has been increasing the intensity of its pressure on Israel as the slaughter in Gaza continues, and importantly, they have likely already detected plenty of evidence of Israeli poor performance, which Simplicius describes in detail as it is becoming more visible and widespread. Experts abroad were inferring poor Israel performance merely from knowledge and press coverage. Very early on after the Hamas attack, Scott Ritter, who had considerable experience in Israel in the 1990s, depicted the IDF as a third-rate army, proficient at ops like breaking the arms of Palestinian teenagers. He also called out the bombing of Gaza as a major mistake, assuming the objective was to get Hamas, as opposed to exterminating Gazans. All that rubble, in combination with the vast Hamas tunnel network, results in a much more defender-favorable environment. John Mearsheimer and Alastair Crooke pointed out the inability of Israel to point to any successes, such as freeing hostages or more than isolated kills of the Hamas leadership. Crooke also said the Hebrew press would report on a high (by Israeli standards) IDF death count in Gaza, only to have those stories quickly yanked by the censors.

Israel, or at least the rabid right wingers running its show, may be running up against the conflict between how they have presented the war to the world and their citizens versus what, based on a cold look at their actions, is the real intent. The scale and sheer destructiveness of the Gaza assault make clear that Israel wanted to clear Gaza, not of Hamas but of Gazans (and the persistent demonization of all Gazans as in cahoots with Hamas is part of a deeply offensive rationalization).

Israel, clearly naively, assumed it could push the Gazans into Egypt. When Egypt resisted fiercely, the next Israel move was to increase the punishment of the Gaza population, based at best the idea that it would increase pressure on Arab states to relent and accept Palestinians, and at worse, regarding extermination as a perfectly acceptable way to get rid of the Gazans. So a plan for ethnic cleansing on a massive scale has become genocide. In case you harbor any doubts about the real war aims:

But the cost to Israel and now the US is spiraling out of control. In Israel, citizens have a good sense that the IDF losses are high, yet an end to the war is nowhere in sight. Families with hostages are successfully creating an uproar over priorities, demanding a cease-fire to secure their return, while Netanyahu and the hardliners insist that Hamas must be defeated first, and the release of the hostages will follow. 1

Another source of political and economic pressure is that Israel is now housing nearly 90,000 citizens evacuated from the Lebanon border. Those settlers insist that there must be no Lebanese visible from their homes for them to be willing to return. That would require taken Southern Lebanon up to the Litani River, as in dispossessing Lebanese families for the psychological comfort of these border dwellers. Netanyahu has promised to take that territory if Lebanon won’t surrender it, which is clearly not in the cards. But quite a few experts opine that if Israel were to try to seize southern Lebanon, that the odds favor Hezbollah occupying Israel up to Galilee.

The Cradle describes how the northern Israel border situation is worse than generally depicted in Western media:

The Israeli Defense Ministry, which pledged a swift and decisive war to safeguard its settlers over 100 days ago, is now actively devising plans to shelter approximately 100,000 people along the northern border, deeper inside its territory. This measure could involve evacuating settlements that may come under fire during any future military escalation with Hezbollah in Lebanon. This situation implies three critical outcomes: any immediate return of settlers remains unlikely, additional evacuations are anticipated, and numerous Israeli families – in the interim – may establish permanent settlements in other, more secure locations at a much further distance from the borders with southern Lebanon and the Gaza envelope. Preliminary reports from settler councils in the north assessed settler “displacement” to be around 70,000 in the initial weeks of the conflict. Subsequent reports, however, suggest a vastly higher figure of approximately 230,000.

Recall we already have the US’ supposedly vaunted Navy being unable to provide for the safety of seaborne commerce, and the US now in an attempt to restore its manhood, making illegal and ineffective missile strikes on Yemen. And recall the US is supposed to be a sea and air power!

In the meantime, most non-Chinese and Russian cargo ships are avoiding the Red Sea. While the rise in shipping costs is not all that bad by historical standards, the US looks and is powerless. And the Houthis are succeeding in their main aim, of choking sea transport in and out of Israel.

Indicators of the state of play:

But bear in mind one reason the US can faff around is that we don’t much bear the cost of longer transit times and supply chain uncertainty. It’s Europe. And the fallout has started:

Now to Simplicius’ on-the-ground sightings, first from Gaza:

As we now know, Israel has withdrawn many of its brigades from the north, citing ‘rest and rotation’ when in reality it appears to be ‘reconstitution’, as the brigades took major attritional losses. Now in the wake of that, the latest bombshell reports state that resistance fighters have re-infiltrated the entire north, leaving the map looking like that of below:

I myself was skeptical—could Israel really have abandoned the entire north after “claiming” to have captured it?

But here’s the double bombshell: even ISW admitted it:

After more examples of Israel doing badly in Gaza, Simplicius adds:

Recall that just last month Kirby admitted that Hamas had not been attrited at all, and an Israeli reserve colonel gave a tearful account of piled up IDF bodies which seemed to imply that they are taking far heavier losses than they’re admitting to.

Later in the piece, Simplicius turns to how US bases in Syria and Iraq are under attack. Oddly he does not mention that the US is in Syria illegally, stealing Syrian oil on a big scale and the Iraqis told us to leave but we refused. Suddenly our position is looking tenuous just when Israel (or at least Netanyahu) is acting like escalating is a great idea to make sure we having to get deeply involved and come to their aid. Again from his post:

And quelle surprise, Simplicius found a story in Al-Monitor that suddenly had the US wanting our buddies the Kurds to “partner” with our former super enemy Assad….which looked like a plan to cut and run, which was confirmed by Foreign Policy headlining that he Pentagon is planning to exit Syria. From its account:

And with such a complex regional crisis playing out, it should not come as a surprise that the Biden administration is reconsidering its military priorities in the region. It should be cause for significant concern, however, that this could involve a full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria. While no definitive decision has been made to leave, four sources within the Defense and State departments said the White House is no longer invested in sustaining a mission that it perceives as unnecessary. Active internal discussions are now underway to determine how and when a withdrawal may take place.

The Daily Sabah reports Türkiye is somewhat skeptical of the story, which it depicts as a rumor, but also lays out some implications if true.

And to round out this remarkable picture, Simplicius includes two stories, one from Reuters, the other from CNN, that the US is negotiating its departure from Iraq.

Simplicius points out:

The US claims these are long-planned talks and have nothing to do with the recent attacks, but that is clearly not the case. The Reuters article above provides one key line: You see, the US previously had preconditions for talks of ending its occupation; one of the conditions being that Iran-backed Iraqi groups first had to stop bombing US bases. But now, the US has apparently dropped this significant precondition, as per the Reuters report. That tells us that US is making concessions out of desperation.

So the US looks to be engaging in a full bore retreat. We don’t begin to have enough weapons, particularly after having depleted our and our allies’ stocks in Ukraine, to wage much of a war, even before getting to that we also can’t land or protect anywhere near enough ground forces and keep them supplied given how the Houthis, and if needed, Hezbollah, have plenty of cheap drones, and the Hezbollah and the Iranians have higher tech, more powerful, longer range precision missiles too.

Given that this is utterly embarrassing, and in an election year to boot, the last thing the US needs is further attention being drawn to its debilities by Israel escalating in a way that necessitates our trying to come to its rescue.

So a nefarious thought: Norman Finkelstein, Ray McGovern, Larry Johnson, and no doubt others, have assumed that the US would join Israel in providing as much pressure as could be mustered on the International Court of Justice judges, and their home countries, to secure a ruling against “provisional measures” to stop what sure looks like genocide. But what if the US has come to realize that both it and Israel are hopelessly overextended, and the best way to limit the fallout is to get Israel that it is risking losing even the US, and not just over time? What if the US has only been going through the motions, recognizing that the press coverage of a South Africa win on some provision measures (South Africa is extremely unlikely to get the court to call for Israel to stop military operations unilaterally) might be loud enough to finally penetrate Israel’s self-delusion and force it to start figuring out how to back out of its Gaza/West Bank overreach?

Now as we all know in reality, no one in the Biden Administration has the sense or even the self preservation instincts that it needs to create some daylight between the US and Israel. In keeping, the only idea for a way out from both the US and UN isabsolute non-starter of a two-state solution (please see our recent post for details). If someone had a more realistic de-escalatory path, perhaps the horrible hostilities could go from a full boil to a simmer. But as a friend saids, if you want a happy ending, watch a Disney movie.

1 Alastair Crooke recounted that a row in the cabinet the weekend before last included that 80 aid trucks a day were getting in, a level deemed to be too high to stave out Hamas. By way of contrast, before October 7, about 500 trucks of supplies went into Gaza daily. And in a remarkable show of chutzpah, one of the lawyers presenting for Israel at the International Court of Justice on January 12 claimed that supplies had increased over the last two weeks to 109 trucks…as if that were a good number.

🏳️‍🌈 Are you a member of the LGBTQIA+ community?

💎 What’s your most prized possession?

🌴 Desert island item?

🏳️‍🌈 Are you a member of the LGBTQIA+ community?

Ma'am, I'm bisexual. You may say super bisexual. I was confused bisexual at first (2019-2021) but now I'm super bisexual.

And with super bisexual also comes superhorny/hypersexuality, because now I have more options when it comes to porn--

There's a funny story behind that, actually. A male Khajiit follower in Skyrim made me question my sexuality. He wasn't even that appealing visually but his dialogues just changed me in a way that I never felt.

Any Skyrim fans/players reading this, yes, it was Kharjo.

💎 What’s your most prized possession?

Well if you're talking like real world value, it's my gaming laptop! 2021 Axioo Pongo 7, the laptop I'm writing this answer with. Intel i7-11700 desktop CPU (yes, you read that correctly, this laptop uses desktop socket. Axioo even gives you a thermal paste if you want to swap the CPU with something else) with 8 cores and 16 threads, 16 GB of DDR4-3200 from factory, and a 115-watt RTX 3070.

1080p144hz screen, but I turned it down to 72hz because I'm old and not a competitive gamer. And also prolong the screen's lifespan a bit. My eyes can barely register the difference between 72 and 144. But still, I appreciate my RTX 3070 being able to push a lot of pre-2019 games up to 120+ fps.

You know there was a time I had to set a game resolution to 960x540 just to get 30 fps. That's even lower than standard Youtube 720p. So now, being able to experience my dream games at high or even ultra quality is... life changing.

All of that for less than 15 million IDR (USD 1000).

If you're talking sentimental value, it's... well, everything I've created. Adrastea Phelion Drago, my "saturniandragon" username, the planets and black holes I've rendered, Merri'sa, Zanri al-Anaqi, my writings, my videos, everything from my creative endeavors.

Which is why I was SO emotional when I initially thought I lost the NTFS image of my HDD and again when I successfully recovered my creative works.

I will say it again, however. If this doesn't convince you to backup your important data, I don't know what will.

🌴 Desert island item?

Knife. Not for survival. Just give me a knife and I'll just kill myself /j

I don't know what I'll bring if I was to be deserted on an island, tbh with you. Logically/realistically I guess a Swiss army knife.

If it has to be something I already own, well, I guess my phone. If I can't contact anyone at least I can jack myself off to death--

[scriboniuscurio]

Laptop purchased finally. This is what I ended up getting: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-zenbook-14-oled-14-wuxga-touch-laptop-intel-core-ultra-7-intel-evo-edition-16gb-memory-1tb-ssd-jasper-gray/6568761.p?skuId=6568761

Even if it's not the exact specs, everything about it is still better than my current laptop.

How to Build a Gaming Computer

Building a gaming computer is a rewarding and enjoyable experience that offers the dual benefits of customization and cost savings. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or a tech enthusiast, assembling your own PC can be an exciting project. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you build a gaming computer.

1. Determine Your Budget and Needs

Before you begin, it's essential to establish a budget. Gaming computers can range from a few hundred ruppe to several thousand. Consider what games you'll be playing and at what settings. For example, if you plan on playing the latest AAA titles at ultra settings and high resolutions, you'll need to invest more in a powerful graphics card and processor.

2. Choose Your Components

Each component of your gaming PC plays a crucial role. Here’s a rundown of what you'll need:

Central Processing Unit (CPU): The CPU is the brain of your computer. For gaming, a mid to high-end CPU from Intel or AMD is recommended. Popular choices include the Intel Core i5/i7/i9 and AMD Ryzen 5/7/9 series.

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): The GPU is the most critical component for gaming performance. NVIDIA and AMD are the leading manufacturers. Consider a current-generation GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 series or AMD Radeon RX 6000 series for optimal performance.

Motherboard: The motherboard should be compatible with your CPU and GPU. It’s the main circuit board that connects all components. Ensure it has enough slots and ports for future upgrades.

Memory (RAM): At least 16GB of RAM is recommended for modern gaming. RAM affects your system's ability to run games smoothly and handle multitasking.

Storage: Solid State Drives (SSDs) are much faster than Hard Disk Drives (HDDs). A combination of an SSD for your operating system and games, and an HDD for additional storage, is ideal.

Power Supply Unit (PSU): A reliable PSU ensures that your components receive a stable power supply. A unit with an 80 Plus rating and sufficient wattage for your build is recommended.

Case: The case houses all your components. Choose one with good airflow and enough space for your parts and future upgrades.

Cooling System: Proper cooling is crucial to prevent overheating. This can be achieved through air cooling (fans) or liquid cooling systems.

Peripherals: Don’t forget a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and headset. A gaming monitor with a high refresh rate and low response time can enhance your gaming experience.

Building a gaming computer is a fulfilling endeavor that allows for complete control over your gaming setup. With careful planning and attention to detail, you can create a system that meets your gaming needs and provides a platform for future upgrades. Happy gaming!

Half Moon Datas #7: The Way Home

First part here

After finding out the missing alpinists and Logan in a cavity in White Veil, Althea and her Pokemon Team worked together to bring them in her laboratory to free them of their cryogenized state. It wasn’t all that easy given the size of the ice blocks, but they managed to reduce them to a transportable form and safely guiding them out of the (former) forbidden land.

When everyone gets back at the facility, the detective put the blocks in an examination room. She did analysis on the ice to know the ideal temperature to melt the cold cocoons and warm up the bodies back to normal… But aside from that, she thought of how to help the four men in their awake. Althea knows that they’re alive thanks to their thoughts and their slow-but-present heartbeats (confirmed by said analysis on the bodies), but they’ve been unable to move for more than a decade… Their particular state likely preserved their original condition from the time the Mega Abomasnow froze them, but the risk of developing a physical of cognitive disability still exist. She would feel horrible to bring back missing people to their families, but they wouldn’t be able to live in the present day and their state would sadden their loved ones.

Medicine and scientific research has made huge steps in ten years, and many organizations specialized in this like the Aether Foundation and the reformed Galaxy Facility (formerly Team Galactic) leaded by Saturn. Healing people and Pokemon became easier and much more efficient than before; the Pokemon Centers are a good example of it. It’s possible to medically accompany someone without suffering side effects - or at least not heavy ones -, but Althea wants to certainly heal the cryogenized victims. After a thoughtful reflection, the detective remembers an old tale she read in an old expedition book she got in a resale store narrating the existence of rare spices with exceptional healing virtues: the Herba Mystica of Paldea. Those condiments were said to help bettering living beings’ metabolism, and even being able to recover from diseases. Although the notes from the book are considered fiction by the public, Althea knows that the border between reality and supernatural is feeble… They live in a world where creatures with incredible powers and deities exist, after all.

The young woman didn’t take long to find information about the most important people of Paldea, since most of them are publicly known - and she just needed to do a bit of digging to gather more intel. That’s how she contacts the local professors of the region: Sada and Turo. The couple of scientists work on the teracristallization phenomenon and also the development of medicine with the Herba Mystica. The reason for this is that a Pokemon resembling Misdreavus (a Flutter Mane who came to the present by an Ultra Wormhole) suddenly escaped from the Great Crater of Paldea and attacked people in its way, injuring their son Arven in the process. Sada and Turo then worked their hardest to heal their child and everyone who was hurt by the Pokemon, and they managed to do so thanks to the Herba Mystica they found in Area Zero. After Arven recovered from the incident, the Professors kept samples of the spices and did a plantation of it in their lab to study them and creating medicine with it so as to help critically injured and chronically ill people back to health.

Althea told them about the cryogenized victims she found in her region: who they are, how they ended up in this state, the circumstances of their disappearances and so on… The couple of professors were shocked when they learned what happened to the four men, especially Logan, and they didn’t hesitate to offer their help to heal them. Sada and Turo took numerous samples of Herba Mystica and cures they made, then they went to Sinnoh to the detective’s facility (Arven wanted to help too but he had exams at the Academy at that time, so he couldn’t come with his parents).

It took several hours for the ice blocks to completely melt away. As the bodies slowly heated up, Sada and Turo took care of their treatment to help them recover in their sleep while Althea looked at their condition with her holographic screens to make sure they’re okay and nothing wrong happen. After one night of work, the three adults’ efforts paid off: the alpinists and Logan are perfectly healthy, as if they’ve never been frozen for years. None of them suffer from physical after effect of the cold and their neuronal function are intact. The first to awake were the three climbers; some of their memories were blurry, but they remember their identity and their life. The detective briefly told them how she got them out of Mt. Coronet and how the couple of scientists how they free them from their state unscathed, before calling International Police agents living in Sinnoh and telling their case to them so they could safely accompany them in their return in society, both administratively and to be in page with the modern time. Althea doesn’t trust the Sinnoh Police in the slightest, but the International Police is an independent faction who’s renowned for their professionalism and for truly helping the population, so she’s more okay to be around them and ask them for help than the regular policeman.

Logan is the last person to awake from his state. After he opened his eyes, Althea and he talked with each other for a while; just like the alpinists, the man remembers who he is… And he especially remembers his wife Leila and his son Lucas, his dear family he loves. Hearing the boy’s name is hard to hear for the detective since Logan doesn’t know yet that his child disappeared, and she’s not eager at all to break the news to him (even if she knows what cover-up story to tell his parents to reassure them that she has a lead to find him)… However, now that he’s alive and well, Leila and Logan can be reunited for the time being.

Althea then revealed the whole ordeal to Dawn (who was understandably shocked, but then relieved to know that Lucas’ father is alive - as well as the other victims -) before discussing with Leila. The woman is kind and soft-spoken as usual, and the little group has a pleasant chat for a moment… Then the opportunity to talk about her husband arose, and Althea asked a few questions about him to her, whom Leila replied because she understands the researcher is a nice person without ill-intentions. When the detective asks her what she thinks about him now, Lucas’ mother paused before revealing that she always keeps her wedding ring in her clothes’ pockets since he disappeared in Mt. Coronet. Leila never believed her husband abandoned his family of his own volition and even if the police didn’t find him in the mountain and closed his case, she didn’t gave up her love for him and refused to marry another man and even be considered a widow until she has the undeniable proof of his death.

When they heard this, Althea and Dawn looked at each other for a few seconds before the telepath tell Leila she found an injured man and healed him… And that man is her husband Logan. The Rift Hunters guide the woman to the facility afterwards, to the man’s rest room… The two adults widened their eyes when they see each other. Logan recognized those long and cleans greyish blue hair and irises, tall silhouette and soft face… He instantly knew that she’s his wife. How could he forget the woman he loves? Meanwhile, Leila recognized those messy black hairs, black beard, dark blue irises, huge height and strong body, as well as those square but soft features on his face… There’s no doubt for Leila: it really is her beloved husband, and he’s alive, safe and sound. Tears then fell on their cheeks and they tightly embrace each other after a long minute of silence, relieved and happy to be together again after being forcibly separated for a decade.

The White Veil case finally ended.

The Rift Hunters managed to reunite a wife and a husband. They’ll now bring back a son to his family, as well as twin brothers.

Intelは15日、同社のコンシューマ向けCPUブランド「Core」のブランディングを変更すると発表した。今年後半から市場に投入予定の次世代CPU「Meteor Lake」以降に登場するIntel製CPUは、従来の「Core i9」といった表記から、「i」の文字が取り外され「Core 9」という表記に変更されるという。Coreプロセッサのブランディング変更は、2008年に「Core i」というプロセッサ名を導入して以来約15年ぶりとのこと（The Verge、ITmedia、PC Watch、4Gamer.net）。 基本的には「i」がなくなるだけで、数字が大きくなるほど上位のプロセッサになる点は同じだという。SKU名の付け方は、従来のスタイルを踏襲するものの、今後は「第○世代」という表記を廃止し、「Core 5プロセッサ ♯♯xxxH」といった表記に改めるという。♯♯の部分には世代数が入るとのこと。 これに加えて、新たに先進的なクライアントPC向けCPUとして「Core Ultraプロセッサ」が追加される。Core Ultraには、Core Ultra 5、Core Ultra 7、Core Ultra 9の3種類が用意される。プロセッサー・ナンバーは「Core Ultra 7 processor ♯♯xx」のような表記になるとのこと。ただし、Ultraとしてブランディングされる基準は現時点では不明とのこと。 ブランド変更の理由としては、Coreブランドが登場より15周年経過したこと、Meteor Lakeではクライアント向けとしては初めてIntel 4プロセス採用と3Dパッケージング技術が投入されること、Intel AI BoostというAIエンジンも導入されるためだとしている。

What Is a Fair Price for a Gaming PC?

When it comes to gaming PCs, pricing can vary widely depending on the quality of components and the intended use. For an entry-level gaming PC, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $700. This price range typically gets you a system that can run most games on medium settings with decent performance.

For mid-range gaming PCs, the price usually ranges between $700 and $1,200. These PCs can handle demanding games at high settings and have more powerful graphics cards, better processors, and additional RAM for improved multitasking.

At the high-end level, a gaming PC can easily cost $1,500 to $3,000 or more. These systems are built with the latest processors, high-performance GPUs, and a range of extra features, like faster storage drives (SSD), better cooling systems, and more memory. These are ideal for gamers who want to experience the latest AAA games at ultra settings with smooth performance.

How to Choose a Gaming PC

Choosing a gaming PC depends on several factors, including:

Budget: Determine how much you're willing to spend and what level of performance you need. Entry-level PCs may not run high-end games smoothly, while premium ones can handle any game at top settings.

Performance Needs: If you're into competitive gaming, a high refresh rate monitor paired with a high-performance PC can give you an edge. For casual gaming, mid-range PCs are sufficient.

Customizability: Some gamers prefer building their own PCs for more flexibility, while others opt for pre-built systems that are easier to set up.

Future-Proofing: Look for a gaming PC with a powerful graphics card and enough RAM (16GB is ideal). These components help future-proof your setup for upcoming titles and updates.

What Does a Base Gaming PC Need to Have?

At the very least, a basic gaming PC should include:

Graphics Card (GPU): A decent graphics card is the most important component of any gaming PC. Entry-level cards like the NVIDIA GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon RX 570 can handle 1080p gaming at medium settings, while higher-end cards like the NVIDIA RTX 3060 or AMD RX 6800 will give you superior performance for 1440p or even 4K gaming.

Processor (CPU): The CPU is crucial for processing game logic and tasks like running background processes. A good entry-level CPU is the Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5. For high-end gaming, a Core i7 or Ryzen 7 is recommended.

Memory (RAM): Aim for at least 8GB of RAM for a smooth gaming experience, though 16GB is ideal for multitasking and handling modern games without issues.

Storage (SSD/HDD): A SSD (Solid State Drive) is important for fast boot times and quicker load times in games. A 500GB or 1TB SSD, paired with a secondary HDD for extra storage, is a good setup for gaming.

Cooling System: Good cooling is essential to avoid overheating during extended gaming sessions. Ensure the PC has adequate cooling fans and a heat sink to keep temperatures in check.

Power Supply (PSU): A reliable power supply unit ensures that your components receive stable power. It should provide enough wattage (at least 80+ Bronze certified) to support your GPU and CPU.

Final Thoughts

The right gaming PC for you will depend on your budget and gaming preferences. A $1,000 gaming PC is generally a good choice for most gamers, providing a balance between performance and cost. If you don't have that budget, a $500 to $700 PC will still let you enjoy most games, though at lower settings.

It's important to know what components you value most—whether that's graphics performance, speed, or storage—before making your purchase.
