First thing I would do is unplug all those hoopty led's for petes sake. I never understood why anyone would add lights to the case fans. Its bling for the kiddies it make the comp faster like a super computer, its magic 🤣😂🤣😂
tnkcmdr69 Posted May 19 Posted May 19 I agree with Haunt and Cliffy. Also, RGB keyboards and mice are the worst! But I'm glad that you had some receipts and can recoup a fraction of your losses.

AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16GB 32GB DDR5 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD Killer machine man, no doubt you'll put it to good use. The extra bling can most likely be managed via software.
Thalamus Posted May 19 Posted May 19 (edited) I'm old - but, I actually like to have RGB in my desktop machine. I've configured OpenRGB to show me the general temperature of the cabinet - going from dark purple up to red. Only see it turning red when I do some blender renders and slightly orange when I play hefty games. VP, is cool/cold blue. For fans I've contributed a few (all voluntary - just worth it) bucks to https://getfancontrol.com Happy to see your getting things together Brian. Edited May 19 by Thalamus
Animusan2 Posted May 19 Posted May 19 Haunts, I was very sorry to hear about the fire and everything that was lost. It is heartbreaking to know that your home burned down and that you lost your three cats. I am relieved that you and your wife are safe. Please accept my sincere sympathy during this very difficult time. Wishing you both strength and support in the days ahead. Hope to see you with us again very soon. Ben

bladeof Posted May 20 Posted May 20 I just saw this post, so sorry to hear about your loss @hauntfreaks , sent prayers for you and your family, glad to see that recent posts show you in good spirits and on the road to recovery. Hoping all the best for you and your wife.
neil81992 Posted May 21 Posted May 21 So glad you appear in better spirits from your latest messages - it's important to remain positive on the recovery from adversity. The fact I currently experience daily disappointments when viewing the updated backglass section, in the absence of your work, evidences the reliance that I, and many others, have on your hard work and generous output. I hope that the messages of support in this thread have provided reassurance of the appreciation the community has for everything you and other contributors provide. I hope each day can bring you both closer to returning to normality. And hope you're back at work asap - those backglasses aren't gonna build themselves!! 😂

(And I feel exactly the same.) 🤪
djbootleggah Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Flabbergasted just sick that anyone should have to go through something so horrific. My thoughts and prayers goes out to him and his family.
neosean99 Posted May 23 Posted May 23 This is absolutely awful. My heart goes out, and hoping for a speedy recovery for the family. Thank you for everything Hauntfreaks!
krismball Posted May 24 Posted May 24 I'm glad you are both doing OK after a loss like this. My wife and I live in a house about a half hour away from that location, and we also have 3 cats, so naturally I started imagining how the 2 of us would cope with something like this. We would be devastated, especially about the cats.
