Not too many good sales and not much I want but I will probably drive to Microcenter to pickup a 5800x, Asus Mobo and some ram to round out a new build.
I let my BOINC/WCG membership languish for the past year but I've got 2 of the 4 operational rigs back up and I'm going to have to leave it at that unfortunately. My local utility has started putting what I'll call "shame emails" detailing how much more electricity I use than similar homes and . . . ok, yes, it's working. God I am such an easy target.
Aside from the "shame" factor, electricity in deez parts is pretty f***ing expensive. At around 18 cents/kwh last I checked. And since I'm a pretty serious (but selective) cheapskate. it also appeals to my dusty, fossilized wallet. Hehe. Kidding.
But I DO want another somewhat current rig really, really badly. My lastest is an original AMD 32 thread Ryzen. And now that WCG has at least one GPU capable app (that all the GPU vultures are quite literally feasting on), putting those old 7850 cards in a 2600k just isn't doing it for me.
