I just ordered most parts for my new machine...
Case: beQuiet Pure Base 500
Motherboard: MSI B550M PRO-VDH (M-ATX)
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
CPU cooler: beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 (double fan)
RAM: Kit 2x16 Gb Patriot Viper Steeel CL18
Main SSD: 2 TB Crucial P5 NVMe M.2 PCIe gen 3.0
PSU: 750 W beQuiet 80+ Gold
Monitor: 34' IIYAMA G-MASTER GB3461WQSU-B1 RED EAGLE UWQHD
GPU would ideally be the AMD Radeon 6800XT but they are pretty difficult to get right now. Only possibility is to pay 150% or more (I have already seen them at 225%) its recommended price. AMD official shop is always out of stock and every time they do a drop, it is gone in less than a minute. Damned crypto miners and their bot nets...
I will be using my current GPU for a while until I get the 6800XT, 6800 or 6700XT
Keyboard is something I will renew as well... but I want to be able to feel the differences before buying one, since I want to go on mechanical with good switches for the first time. But I want to avoid loudness if possible (any recommendations?)
All in all... I am happy and pretty excited, I expect the hardware to come middle of next week...
I just now have to find a legal (and ideally cheap) Win 10 Pro licence since I don't want to use the HomeEdition assigned to my old PC.

What about RGB ? You know you need RGB, it makes your computer go faster.
As for keyboard, I found that mechanical keyboard are not that loud.
I have a CODE keyboard, don't remember which color are my keys switches; it works well.
I have 2 issues with the keyboard, first, the usb plug is flimsy and the keys I leave my finger on by default ( a, e, s, left/right shift and left ctrl keys) are really worn out.
I'd rather be phishing!

Mostly black, matt and the case has no window... so even if there were leds I would not use them.
The only think I can consider is in the keyboard, but not as a RGB party, just iluminated keys because I usuall have only a difuse lamp behind / sideways... to help with the shadows.

I have found a not so expensive Cherry Max 3 keyboard where everyone says it is mechanical but with the feeling of rubber... low profile keys and switches with some gummy to attenuate the noise and help agains dirt...
But keyboard is something I like more to check physically before buying... so I suppose I will wait until I can go to the tech shop and have some tests on my own.

I upgraded my two computers, one running Windows 7 Pro and the other running Windows 7 Home, to Windows 10 Pro. There was no charge.

Liturgy - High Gold[^]
Another black metal one, second week in a row! 
Great news for @jorgen_andersson who thoroughly enjoys these 
I kind of found this one by mistake.
Favorited it once, never listened to again, until last week.
The intro is a bit weird and may suggest it turns into something electronic, but you couldn't be further from the truth.
It's somewhat eclectic and by no means easy listening, not even to a black metal audience 
Apparently, the band made an appearance on The Blacklist, the television series, but I've never seen that one.
Fun fact that you probably wouldn't have guessed: the band leader and vocalist is a woman

I loved that entire album and H.A.Q.Q. wasn't bad either.
Their newest wasn't quite my taste, or at least not all of it.
In any case you won't be disappointed

Intro? That was half the song!

I have to be honest, it just sounded like a mess. It was like all the instruments were recorded separately (and off the cuff) then edited together later. Like some sort of music experiment.
But hey, it's just an opinion.

To the untrained ear
When I first heard black metal, 18 years ago, I thought the mp3 file was corrupt
After that I eased into metal with some more melodic stuff like Nightwish and Dimmu Borgir.
The "corrupt mp3 file" later became one of my favorite black metal albums.

To be fair, it's tagged as "experimental"

I just got "direct message" spam from a member called "davidfw" so I have his email (mercierdias3@outlook.com for all you spambots), and could sign him up to some ... interesting ... sites, but I'd kinda like to report him here as well.
But I can't find a way to search by username if he hasn't posted anything, and the "who's who" is limited to the first 1000 pages (out of 741,747) ...
Anyone know a way to get him?

I just tried the obvious /members/davidfw but "not able to load the user's data" so either already nuked or his summon nick is still the "user-xyz" and hence not easy to be found
another possibility would be to use the /membership/Member-ID Link in a loop from newest decreasing by one and checking
I don't think he will be an old account
But the easiest way will be for sure a CP staff to look in the DB for that email.
Additionally... Maybe you should post it in the B&S
and suggest to add the member ID (or even the link to the profile) in the notification Email. It should not be a big job to get it done and this way it would be easier to find the user that has contacted you.

I thought of that and did it right after posting here!

Another option - as spamming a developer site shows risky behavior (behaviour, to you).
Create SMTP mailer and send him a cease-and-desist about emaii: about 500 copies in a loop. I got some Pakistani embroidery merchant (and his minions) to stop this way (they screen-scraped my email from a website as webmaster@ ).
You can send some from yourself - then have randomized "from" addresses. Add in small perturbations to the subject and content (you've seen spam with a small list of random words at the bottom).
Usually one or two doses of this gets the point across.
