Re: Need a new office chair.

Many cities have used office furniture resalers where you can get decent prices on lightly used Herman Miller, Steelcase or HON chairs. They are still more expensive than the Office Depot/Staples options but not nearly as expensive as new ones. The places I have been to have the chairs on display so...

Re: Air conditioner unit making annoying bubbling noise

In generally heat pumps can only turn down so far (say 4:1 or 5:1) from their maximum heating or cooling position, the situation you describe is one where the units might be trying to only output 5-10% of their capacity (mild weather, trying to do minimal heat). I hate to say it, but because of that...

Maybe more RAM and throw a cheap 480GB drive in there to load your games up faster, but that's about it and neither are going to make a hu...

Silverstone Kublai KL07 vs Fractal Design Define C

I was going to post this in the Define C thread but didn't want to take that onto a tangent... The Fractal Design Define C has been on my 2017 build list since the review came out but just ran across the SilverStone Kublai KL07* which is interesting.
