Sounds like an excellent idea! If you ever get tired of swapping, an USB capture card is a lot cheaper than a new GPU with current prices. Good luck!

That’s tight fit. If you really need the two capture cards then that’s the room you’ve got to work with. If you can bring it down to just one card at the top that would be a lot better. I personally use a capture card that’s connected using USB3, which works very well and doesn’t require room inside the computer (even though I would have room).
Most videocards have two or three fans on the bottom these days, with such a tight fit one of the fans can easily collide with the capture card. And even when it doesn’t it will have a hard time sucking in air from there. You can try and find a blower type card, but that would be a bit harder to find.
And you wouldn’t happen to have a GPU inside the CPU? Because the iGPUs from AMD are very solid if you don’t need much in terms of performance (easily faster than the 1030 you mentioned). Otherwise two capture cards and a GPU is a big ask in such a small case.

The A series is pretty limited, I would go for a B series if you can find it. But keep in mind drivers for Intel on Windows are terrible and on Linux even worse. So that would not be a good time.
There’s plenty of cards that would fit in 40mm, but your airflow would be pretty bad. Do you have a pic of the inside of your system? There has to be a way to make something more fit.
But most 6600, 7600 and 9060 cards should be able to fit in 40mm. And with AMD the drivers on Linux are very good.

Look for second hand stuff and something like a 6000 series from AMD. Don’t buy cheap videocards new, they always suck.

Oof, that’s a terrible card. The GP108 chip is a rebatched mobile card Geforce MX 150, it’s a pretty ancient chip at this point. There are no drivers for it, so you’ll need to use older drivers or limited open source drivers. Unless you got it very very cheap that’s not going to work very well for you. It’s newer than a GT 220, but not by much.

I think the one I have is 41mm, so that would be a tight fit. Can’t you rearrange the cards a bit to make some room? With only 40mm that would be hard to fit in any modern card.

Yeah I have a RX 7600. It wasn’t brand new, but lightly used, bought it off a friend who upgraded. Paid around $200 for it, so I think a pretty good deal with current pricing.

Yeah get a simple but recent AMD card, older cards, especially nVidia are a nightmare. I had an old 980 TI which was a really good card still, but I couldn’t use it anymore because everything kept breaking. So I got me a recent AMD card and it has been running perfectly.
This game is disappointing to be honest. I played it years ago, did about 40 hours without mods and then another 40 with mods. It had so much potential but was lacking some major QoL and basic stuff. I did gave it a good chance and with a ton of mods it was kinda fun, but it felt like I needed to work at it to make it fun.
Years later and basic stuff isn’t fixed. The development has been slow for years and nothing got fixed people complained about. I heard that development was completely stopped and the game abandoned, so I was surprised to see it released as 1.0. But from the looks of it, it’s just a 1.0 badge slapped on and not actually a fully cooked end result.
People still have a lot of fun with it, but playing this without mods is pretty oof.

The idea of a dog whistle is as you say only dogs hear it. So in the use case of Nazis letting each other know they are Nazis it’s usually a subtle thing. A phrase or gesture that’s innocent on the face of it, but signals to other Nazis they are Nazis. Like what they tried to do with the OK hand signal.
Putting up your hand and shouting Heil Hitler isn’t really a dog whistle, as everyone knows at that point you are a Nazi.

The stick wouldn’t work. It’s just a cosmetic thing to make it look like a real stick, so it can be sold as such. Once the consumer gets the stick it wouldn’t work and they would return it. But the seller might not have an option to return it. Or it might be sold through one of those ebay/aliexpress/amazon stores that evaporates within a few days.
If you have a working stick in your DDR5 system, the chips are fine.
I also wonder if this is really that wide spread, seems like a lot of trouble to make not a lot of money.

How are there still idiots falling for crypto in 2026? It’s a bullshit waste of energy and time, only designed as a pyramid scheme. These days they don’t even go through the whole process, it’s just pre-launch buying, release the coin and instant rug pull on all the dumb smucks who put their money into it. It was dumb 10 years ago and has gotten dumber since.

Arj for life!
Nah it lacks the lemon company investing billions into the lemon stand, just so they can buy billions worth of lemons. And the lemon stand needs to set almost all of the lemons on fire and sell just a fraction of them at an extreme loss. Meanwhile the CEOs of both the lemon stand and the lemon company should shout at everyone and anyone: “LEMONADE IS THE FUTURE BRO, JUST ACCEPT IT!”

They should fight fire with fire. Do double of all the tariffs the US does and don’t ever give them up ever. Don’t take any concession, as any time anyone does, Trump does the Goofy meme and says: “I’ll fucking do it again”. There’s no talking to these people, they will only respond to pressure. Tariffs can be renegotiated after the next elections and my suggestion would be for those elections to be held sooner than planned. Trump needs to go, that’s the only way for anything to ever be fixed.

As well as the weird dark blob where a detail is added in the “final” result. Why would the blob be there? Unless they started with the “final” result and painted it over to get to the “previous” step.
That and the mangled udders clearly scream AI to me. The original clearly has 4 rockets intended to look like udders. But because of the perspective two of them seem to overlap. So the AI just combined them into one, with a sort of double output? This makes no sense, that’s not how rockets work and that’s not how udders look. It is exactly how AI works tho.
And abandoned within three weeks. Also does the same thing as at least a dozen other tools that already existed. But it has a snazzy name and a whole website like it’s something great, which it’s not.
