It is quite heavy but I usually keep it at home. Lately I've been keeping it in my daily because I've noticed the battery has been kind of weak on starts. Since it also has an tire air compressor (actually the primary reason I got it) I also haul it with me to track days so I've been getting a lot of use out of it.

Get one if you don't have one.

I said it before and I'll say it again, go buy one! I've bought a handful of these and gifted them to my parents, brother and in-laws, all of them have used it since xmas. Jumper cables are good to have but they still require a good soul to come by and help you. Just make sure to charge it every now and again

Haha, same here, got the 970 last year for my last mini-itx build. Debating if I should do another and demote this machine as a home theater pc...

970's still not too bad even if it's still not a true 4gb card. But if the 1070s keep dropping, I might just have to pull the trigger.

hey if any of you want to donate your old rig to a good home...

I'm still running Windows XP over here on some really old tower.

I thought I heard Windows 10 is decent on older hardware? You might be able to get that.

Then again, I'm a Macbook guy who games on his PS4

I'm only half joking... I used to play PC games on my old machine but my current home machine is an iMac. Starcraft 2 runs pretty well on the Mac, and I have a PS3 for gaming...

Oh okay.

I haven't played SC2 in a while. Never even got to play the third phase of it.

I downgraded laptops to a Macbook Air and it could barely handle the game.

Clipdat · 03-10-2017, 06:14 PM

Weird. All I was saying is that my current GPU is a Radeon R9 290.
