RGB still looks bad to me but individually sleeved colour coordinated cables? Aww yeah
Plus cable management won't look like ass and crimping wire/playing with paracord is frankly a fetish.
The problem is the colour scheme:
>ASUS board colour scheme is brown/Khaki
>Noctua cooler is creamy outer with nutty brown fans
>Noctua redux case fans are grey
Brown can be such an unappealing colour

Thanks.do they ship to mexico? LOL anyways if i were to extremely customize my setup i wouldn't use rainbow cables(not at least on the first try).
I would do something like this but with more pink apart from the cables and custom loop, maybe a bit on the outside.

The only way elimination format would make work if it was done over the course of a single hour-long session. Half-hour of free for all, start eliminating drivers every 2 minutes once the half-hour mark passes.

>>37686
The biggest problem with all these elimination qualifying schemes is that they force drivers to qualify their cars on the track at the same time under the same circumstances (barring getting blocked).
This removes the planning and strategic elements of qualifying which naturally toss up the field. If you look at qualifying results from the mid 90s and further back, it's rare to see the procession of cars in order of constructors standings that has become commonplace today.
Under the two day, 12 lap, 1 hour per session qualifying scheme you saw the most skill rewarded, the biggest gaps between teammates, and the potential for better racing from the natural tossup of the grid.
There's some fallacy that we have to make qualifying like a randomized, frenzied dash that rewards getting out on track first more than the skill of the driver and car setup.
Also the 2 day, 12 lap, 1 hour qualifying sessions were perfectly watchable, usually at least two drivers were out doing balls out laps at any given time.
People love to say that rain would prevent anyone from coming on track, as if a rained out qualifying session wouldnt be immediately redflagged by todays FIA lest the tractors get hungry.

>Despite a general belief that the 't-minus' logos adorning the sidepods of this year's Arrows cars pointed to the unveiling of a major new sponsor or chassis development, nothing appeared to be any different at Imola.
>There was a feeling of disappointment and anti-climax when, at 't+1', the team revealed that the ruse simply drew attention to its latest branding idea. 'T-minus' was dreamt up by new Arrows boss, Prince Malik, as a universal brand name which will be licensed to manufacturers wishing to promote their products in tandem with Arrows. The advantage, according to Prince Malik, is that manufacturers can benefit directly from a global marketing facility offered by his company, while appearing on the sidepods of the team's cars at no extra cost.
>Much had been made of a possible link with Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini, with rumours suggesting that Arrows had signed a deal to use Lambo engines in its cars. In contrast, the connection merely pointed to the possibility of Lamborghini launching a limited 't-minus' edition of its Diablo model.

but if I had friends I wouldn't have time for you guys…
Also where I live isn't that social and I only ever had one proper absolute best friend (went round to each others house. Always paired up at school. proper best m8s) across my school life. All my other friends I haven't kept in contact since we left upper 6th. I didn't have a twitter or facebook, I stopped going online on my xbox. The few who I had on steam haven't messaged me in ages.
The idea of going out to find friends feels awkward.
I leave for work at 8-9am get back at 8 usually. I'm often quite tired so I go upstairs to have fun my little brother. He's on the autistic spectrum but playing with lego or racing games is always good fun. I commentate on his/our racing, pretending it is some big final race with a chance of a title.
I let him come to my room because his computer is pretty rubbish and play rfactor 2. Same thing again.
He always gets a kick out of the crashes and regardless of the severity I always joke and claim he has died or the car has gone through the fence and wiped out the crowd.
He always tries to come up with some excuse as to why he is in fact alive:
>"Okay this is bad buuuuuut I'm heavily injured, in a come for life, eating through a straw but I count as alive"
>"They would have jumped out of the way!!! They had like what 1…2… seconds to react. Sure they made it. Maybe that guy has a broken leg but he will walk it off"
I don't really know where I was going with this….
