This cooler looks like it's the same thing as the one on your list right? Different Amazon listing, reordering from the link in your list it says I wouldn't have it until April 8, this one says I could have it in a day or two.

Well this CPU cooler hasn't moved since 5 AM yesterday on the Amazon tracking so I it's almost certainly not arriving today. So no loss on waiting for a case to arrive too I guess.

Definitely ruing not getting my Polish passport before they rescinded my eligibility.

What about this other one by the same company, Fractal Design Pop Air Mid-Tower Case, which is similar to the first one, first one has no RGB lighting in the fans and this one does but I can turn the lights off right?

I like how this case looks, some pictures show a glass panel and some don't so it seems like the glass panel is optional? This one with the mesh side also looks okay, I prefer the plain black front of the first one to the wood paneling on this one but this seems like it may have better airflow?

Well either a new case or just buy this I guess?

The SSD is a Samsung 980 Pro with heatsink, not sure how good that included heatsink is. The SSD slot has its own little plastic lever tab to secure the SSD so would seem like I don't need the standoff since that seems like it's already a standoff? Not sure why the mobo came with SSD standoffs if it's got these tabs though. Also for the SSD, presumably I should place it in one of the NVME PCIe 4 slots instead of the 5 slot for if I get a NVME PCIe 5 SSD down the line, but the area for the 4 SSDs has got one long heatsink covering two slots so if I did that and add another NVME PCIe 4 slot I'd guess I'd need to also get another SSD with its own good heatsink or remove the one on my Samsung so I could use the mobo one for moth? And on the case I was gonna use the last mobo I had in there was smaller than the new one so it looks like I took out some of the standoffs for the previous build. And now I don't know where they are or if I still have the screws to secure the motherboard to them either. Maybe I should have just bought a new case after all. The one you linked to looks nice and easy to work with but I'd rather just have a metal side than the glass panel...but it looks like most cases have a glass panel now? Anything comparable come to mind that would just not have the glass side?

Another one. These are standoff pins right? If so...this is all the standoff pins the mobo came with???

The screws don't even reach to the mount with the SSD in so whatever it is I'm guessing I don't need to use it. Saw a setup video for the mobo where the guy put it back after putting the SSD in but he didn't say anything about what it is. It does have a adhesive strip on the other side that he pulled off first.

Starting to poke around a little bit. Is this a heatsink for the SSD and if so I presumably don't need to put it back on if my SSD already has one?

I guess I'll leave building until I have everything then. The new ETA is tomorrow but I also got an email saying I'll get a refund if it's not here tomorrow, which seems like a bad sign for it actually making it.

So this magazine actually arrives right, unlike a magazine from a certain gaming website?

I'm most worried about the GOP just straight up stealing the election. Enough states were won on like 10k vote margins that they could do it and have it be hard to tell for sure whether it was actually just the state swinging the other way this time. Without the the straight up steal risk, I would feel pretty confident that Biden wins again, although no idea about the House or Senate even in that scenario.

It's okay to install the CPU cooler at the end right? Maybe I could at least get everything else set up and then just plop in the CPU cooler when it arrives.

Ah yeah I'm probably thinking of Bulla, thanks.

I could have sworn I've seen Goku in a shot with baby Pan...maybe I'm thinking of the Dragon Ball Super anime end credits or something? What I'm remembering is baby Pan flying around, Goku and Vegeta bumping each others' heads trying to catch her, and then Vegeta getting pissed off and giving Goku a thumb signal that it's time to go fight.

China has a big problem with super gonorrhea, study finds ARSTECHNICA.COM Drug-resistant gonorrhea is a growing problem—one that doesn't heed borders.

Wasn't baby Pan there when Beerus first showed up at Bulma's party? Or do you mean that it's the first time Goku's meeting Pan when she's old enough to talk?
