Vomo on Ryobi AC 2400W Crushing Shredder $328 (Was $499) Delivered / C&C / in-Store @ Bunnings

FYI you can get third-party ear pads with cooling gel inserts that might help. They may affect sound profile but could be worth a try.

Wally Simmonds on Palit GeForce RTX 5090 GameRock 32GB Graphics Card $4,554.86 Delivered @ Amazon UK via AU

Thanks, I'm definitely looking at minimum 16GB (ideally higher) for a future GPU for flexibility sake. Thanks for the other tips too!

You would probably want to use a locally-hosted one for generating 'uncensored' content.

MrZ on 25% off Most Movies and TV Shows on DVD, Blu-Ray & 4K UHD (Exclusions Apply) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi
