The TWSBI is a great fountain pen. I am disappointed to not find Muji 0.5mm capped rollerballs on there. I ordered them on a whim but will likely never use another pen for note taking again. The feel of writing is much better than any Pil

I build one on 4 used $800 3090s. All told $6-6.5K in used components to build an open air rig with consumer hardware. I went with the cheapest threadripper I could find but after testing the performance hit for going from 16-8 PCIe lanes

I built an x4 3090 rig a little while ago. There are a few hurdles: 1) Need 2 power supplies to run at peak power and most US outlets can't handle it 2) If you're running on 1 power supply need to limit power consumption and cloc
