My PC build:
FX 8350
ASrock 970 Pro r2.0
MSI 750ti
8GB RAM
1 hard drive
CD/DVD drive
Sound card
I was thinking about picking up a Corsair CX Modular Series CX430M, 430 watt
but according to the Cooler Master PSU calculator, I only need about 370w.
Right now, I'm running some random 600w unit that honestly doesn't feel right. It's constantly running hot, and sometimes there's this weird smell coming from it—you know, like that strange scent a hair dryer gives off after it's been running for a while?

Picking a new case

Hey everyone, I'm on the hunt for a decent, standard case in the $60 range. Ideally, I'd love something that actually has space for two 80mm fans.

Alright, so I'm looking at about $2,500$1000, but what kind of motherboard are you guys actually recommending?

The AMD FX-8350 is a powerhouse, plain and simple. If you're looking to push your rig to the limit, this chip delivers exactly what you need. It’s built for heavy lifting and serious multitasking.
8GB of RAM at 1600MHz? Seriously? In this day and age? That’s barely enough to keep a modern browser from choking, let alone actually getting anything done. We're talking about a total snail of a setup. Honestly, if you aren't looking to bump that up, you're just asking for a headache.
The CoolerMaster 103 CPU cooler? Honestly, I've seen better, and I've certainly seen worse. It’s one of those middle-of-the-road options that doesn't really make a statement either way. If you're just looking to keep things from melting during basic tasks, it gets the job done, but don't expect it to perform miracles if you're pushing your system hard. It's fine, but it isn't exactly cutting-edge tech.

A 650W power supply? Seriously? That's all you're looking at?
Two 80mm fans.
Looking for the most basic black case out there.

Need help with a glass bottle?

Thanks, but what I'm really looking for is whether anyone knows of a specific solution (or something similar) that I can use to wash out a bottle.
Need help with a glass bottle?
in Forum Help! ·
So, I picked up this glass bottle recently, but after using it for a bit, I’ve got mold growing inside—just these little black spots sitting at the bottom. I need a way to kill them off. I can't exactly scrub them out manually because the bottle is way too deep for any brush I own. Does anyone have a better tactic for getting rid of this stuff?
