It hurts. I can't start building without that mobo and all this hardware in boxes is just blueballing me for days. All I can do is to install PSU and SSD. Now I'm just walking around it and drooling.Fuck yeah, can't wait
I figured they've meant it will arrive HOME thursday-friday, not their shop.
Also, my laptop GPU was working 30 minutes today after it was dead for a week. I didn't realize it was working until it glitched again. Does anyone know is it still possible to revive it in this case?

the mobo is always the big piece of the puzzle. when i made my pc the PSU was not delivered with the rest of the stuff, so i had time to build everything luckily and PSU was just 2 screws and a few cables... good timesIt hurts.

It's more like a table where you solve the puzzle. My two screws and PSU were there at the day one hehe. Now I'm stuck.
I wonder why the fuck shipping company stated that the mobo package is 15 kilos. I just hope it's a mistake. Should be around 1,5? Otherwise there are just bricks... No, bricks are expensive. Gravel?

Good luck with the assembling once you receive the mobo. Crossing my fingers for you that all parts will work fine and no pin bends during the cpu installation!
Yeah, I'm both hyped and scared. First time for me. They say it doesn't hurt...

Have built own computers for years. Here's what I do-

Now all we need is another image of Norma and crew when you're done!
Remember to take the time to tuck the various cables out of the way and not leave them hanging. Makes a real difference to the airflow.
The fans blowing air into the case should have dust filters that will need to be cleaned regularly.
Check that you've positioned the SSD such that there is adequate airflow both over and under it. SSDs don't get as hot as HDDs, but every little bit helps.
I don't bother with internal DVD drives any more. I have an external DVD writer that I keep in a ziplock bag to protect it from dust - it only comes out when needed, and goes back into the bag as soon as I'm done using it.
A power strip with a built in spike suppressor is highly recommended. If power outages are a normal occurrence, you need a UPS.
Yeah I didn't even order DVD pre-war bullshit. Took out it's frame from the case for better airflow.
I have smth like spike suppressor in the entrance of my flat. But there was only powerful enough for me UPS with all shit included. By the way, that lil piece of crap is $500 here. Strange. European prices are about $180. So I was looking for at least off-line UPS thinking it may be cheaper, but unfortunately 1000 watts models are fully stuffed.
$500? I was thinking more like $10-20 like this:

An offline UPS should be fine, and most will have a spike buster built in. You don't need an online or sinewave UPS if you're just going to run a PC. It just needs to be able to keep your PC alive during a power outage. You'll thank yourself for the UPS when power fails 3 hours into a rendering job. You are the best judge of how long a battery backup you need - if power usually comes back in a couple of minutes, then a UPS with 10 minute backup will be fine. Those with bigger batteries can keep you going up to 8 hours or so, but that would probably be overkill. You should have enough to let you complete your current rendering job.
its APC smart UPS 1000 watt 1500va smth like this don't remember. Battery for 10 minutes half load. Just to stop render and shut off system automatically. I won't render on batteries.
That is a good UPS. Does Daz let you pause the render, hibernate the PC, and resume where you left off? IMHO that would be the best way.

So it still boots and the computer is running, only using GPU to do some work makes it go south? This is a good sign, usually means chip is not totally fried, think you could bring it back to life.
If chips are already malfunctioning from boot up a computer would crash sooner. Chip kills mostly happen with power spikes grilling electronics. Then only prayers, measuring voltages and exchanging may help (soldering new parts in).

If you want you could check and clean the inside on your own, nth too fancy:

Best way would be a small atomic power plant in the basement to take over. Or more eco-friendly - a fox and 20,000 caged rodents, running for their little lives in wheels. I prefer hamsters. And yeah, you can pause render jobs and save intermediate results to continue later, believe DAZ is so sophisticated to let you do this. XD But a power outage may oc. kill the work, and make you scream naughty bits. With a UPS it should be possible to shut down the computer in order if necessary.

The dev's computer broke so they are waiting for parts.
We're doing what little we can to get him rendering again. That's what will get you tits.

I'm sorry, guys, but I've spent all your money on porn. On making porn, to be precise. On this purple magic box.
Now I feel like I'm a real DEV.
So with small delay the mainboard arrived, and I managed to assemble all this shiny stuff in one go.
Installing all software now and proceeding to the next stage.
Thank you for your patience. And support. It wouldn't be possible without you.
Pffft! The least the dev could have done is hand drawn a new update.... Pfft! Damn kids and your technology.
