New The PC Build Thread

Both ax85 and ax61 need have wired reset button or a button switch. Ax61 uses reset button as the switch, so ax61 does not technically have reset button once it is wired up. Ax85 has dedicated led button.

So it's either LED or reset?

Why two rigs though?

My business is a 3d artist, i render multiple 6-7k pixel width images every day, if i cut render times in half, it gives me a ton of billable time back.
its seamless to render across 2 computers, and its an aggregate. so basically a 9950x and 5950x = 32cores.

Also redundancy, the 2 weeks (and funds on a whim) it will take to replace a PC should it fail, is just too much risk

All you need to do now is to sync the lights on the two PCs
 
Gamers Nexus has a vid up about the tariffs that's pretty interesting (only watched the first segment with Hyte so far).

I've kind of been off Tech Jesus for a bit (found he got a bit whiney and condescending) but this is pretty good...proper investigative journalism.

Just a thing on that, and the manufacturers and other product vendors won't tell you. The USA is a massive market for a lot of companies. If competitors lose market share in the US, they will raise prices elsewhere to subsidize the US market. This happens in all other industries. It gets more complex when you have US-specific system builders relying on imports, and strict partnerships, mostly from China. Distribution will eventually shift, with products stored in tariff-friendly countries before being exported to the US.

I doubt the US will escalate the trade war, that of tariffs, into sanctions because it would make crucial materials hard to access for their localized industry.

For how long will this go on, well, it could be long, it could be short, but the impact on retail will linger in the aftermath. This is either out of necessity, for recuperation, and/or because the consumer is a willing buyer. Neither will they tell you this.

yeah, Sony increased PS5 prices in Europe, Aus and NZ by 10% to absorb some of the US tariff costs. For items above a certain price point and those that have no direct equivalents or competition that's doable because some people won't buy but a majority of people wanting a PS5 are still going to get it.

I don't think that's true at the budget or entry-level - the cost might make those untenable for the OEM and customers. I expect some offerings might just disappear entirely unless the tariffs go away entirely or are reduced back to where they were. I think I read something a few weeks back about Merc considering pulling the A-B class from the US market because the new tariffs would put them into non-competitive price brackets.

Then again, the Donald appears to have gotten a talking to because his tone has changed over the last day or so.

Yeah but mini PCs still have ethernet and wifi modules, the building in of sim card slots seems to have stopped as cellular modules add complexity.
