Just wondering if those have been sent out for the vape pens, I bought two, opted into the beta for one and opted store credit for the other so I can drop another 100$ or so on miprocin but I haven't received any store credit just the vape pen for the beta with an ice pack. Was curious if you all have gotten yours yet or if I'm just impatient. Got my kart full just burning a hole in my phone.
I work on a remote island in alaska, we recently had the fiber line to our island get cut by a boat and it went out for 3 weeks. Well after it came back on our network has been having issues with randomly disconnecting for hours and when restarts occur staying off for hours without reconnecting despite power cycles. Well today it shut off completely. So I decided to try and be proactive and use the admin gui in my browser to see the issue. Our modem has Internet, when plugged directly into one 1gb/s lan port. The 10 gb/s one for some reason does not output Internet. When I try to plug the modem into my main router, i have finally gotten it to say it is connected in asus' admin gui, but Internet access is being denied for some reason. I am not very savvy on dhhcp, dns, ip or any of the other settings to configure these things properly. I have an understanding of what they are but don't want to tangle this ball of yarn anymore than I have to. I have a feeling that their may be an issue with the handshake between my modem to my router. But I was able to get an older modem we have for a separate area to work no problem. Just these ax1800s routers/mesh nodes are struggling to connect. I am unable to run a firmware update as it's saying my I can't reach asus' servers because the router won't allow access to Internet connection. Despite showing that my network is connected. I'm losing my mind here and haven't slept in 20 hours, for unrelated work shit plus this. Please help me if you know this router/mesh network model or networking in general.
So a little backstory. About 9 months ago I bricked an old mobo trying to play battlefield 6, and ended up buying a new mobo at best buy with a new cpu. because i didn't want to spend the huge amount on upgrading to a ddr5 platform, and wanted to play my games now, i went with the only ddr4 platform they sold at best buy. I threw that into my pc and then about 2 months after that decided to upgrade the gpu, psu, and case. A couple months after that i realized i wanted to get something that i didn't want to have to upgrade for another 10 years or more so i decided to just bite the bullet and just build the pc i really wanted an am5 with a 4080s. With my new old parts i decided to build another pc as the cost to build it wouldn't be much more and then i decided to try and make back my cost by selling it. So now my buddy comes to me asking to buy a new pc for around $1500 and i tell him i can sell him a basically new pc for way less and much more powerful than anything he can get right now. The downside is it's a used 4070 ti gpu off ebay, my old case is missing one usb that broke on the front panel and it's stuck on the am4 platform with a 5800xt. I don't want to rip him off but i want to offset my costs of around 950$ for the build and maybe make some money. What do you guys think this build would be worth?
Specs:
Cpu: ryzen 7 5800xt
Gpu:4070 ti gaming oc used off ebay, works great
Psu: corsair rm750e (2025)
Ram: 32gb of ddr4 3200
Ssd: sandisk plus 1tb (the basic no ram one)
Mobo: mag b550m tomahawk max wifi
Air cooler: thermalright phantom spirit 120mm no rgb
And an old slightly broken case with a fresh install of windows 11 on top.
I quoted him $1250 and all the parts on pcpart picker new with a little tweaks on the older parts that aren't for sale anywhere came out to be 1600$.
