If they had a version with better CPU, like a low power i3 or i5 and bigger battery it would be an amazing product. That would be worth an extra $200. Still it’s rare to see high end options like the mech keyboard and screen resolution paired with such a slow CPU

Found a pic of the summer setup, having window blinds help a lot! and I can cover the duct with the curtain so it looks clean AF

I have a simpler way: 6" duct has a diameter of about the perimeter of 7 PCI-E back slots, so I bent it to fit and it stays on it's own! Made small holes for the screen's cables and in winter I point the exhaust to my feet, but on summer it goes out the window. I do mine on dual Vega 56's with a blower style cooler so all the heat comes from the back. Same approach for my grow tent ;)

Good to see that it wasn't a bad idea to consider a new mac, but I think this opens a new question: mac mini or stretch the budget for a base macbook air? I've never been a laptop user (actually hate them because of the lack of upgrades down the line, but that will be the same with a mini) and currently use an iPad for when I'm not working from home (rare thing these days due covid) because it's light and fits in a really small bag (yeah, women's thing I know). Is it a good idea to keep a laptop docked and plugged in all day or will that hurt the battery? TBH I could even sell the iPad to lessen the price difference.

I'm tempted to upgrade my PC because my cooler leaked, killed the CPU and mobo so I'm now using a 3rd gen i5 and a mobo that can't take the 4 sticks of ram so I'm on 8gb only, I was thinking about getting just a used compatible mobo with 4 slots of ram, but they are as expensive as new ones so if I go all new my target is a 5600x or 5800x but that means also getting, ram and (since I'm upgrading) a nvme ssd, adding up the costs I'm within mac mini prices so I'm doubting about two directions to take: Option 1: Upgrade this PC, hackintosh it and maybe sell the old parts or upgrade my grandparents pc or something with it. Option 2: Get a M1 mac mini and keep the PC as is but use it as a file server, the case is huge and can hold like 10 drives so it would be a nice NAS, also I am already keeping it on 24/7 since I'm mining ETH. I work as a software developer and used to have a heavy use for my PC, running local servers and many virtual machines. Now I switched to rented servers and basically all my development is cloud based. I already use macOS as my main OS, also I no longer game, maybe some casual minecraft or flight simulator but no more than that. What would you do? What life expectancy can I expect from the mac? I know that if it dies out of warranty I'm fucked, compared to a custom rig where it's easier to get parts and do whatever you want.

All I worry about is the cooling solution. I run my hackintosh 24/7 water cooled and it idles at 40ºC on the CPU (also lowers the speed to 1,6 ghz) and peaks at 70ºC on max load (turboing to ~4,2 ghz). The iMac chassis with just that tiny intake on the back does not give me much confidence, actually the trashcan Mac Pro highest achievement (and what atracted me the most about it) was its cooling solution! If I were to build a PC to match the iMac Pro base specs it would be like this: There is no Vega based GPUs for PCs out there yet so take the GPUs with a grain of salt, they match the TFLOPS of the iMac, same thing with the CPU... It also needs a webcam to match iMac's functionalities!

I bet Nvidia choose that name just to annoy Linus.

$30k of the build is the 4 screens and 2 GPUs. That is the base of the build, having 40Tb of HDDs plus 256Gb of RAM adds less to the total price than the cost of one single screen!

I was considering choosing 12-core 3.0 ghz base clock e5-2687W or 6-core 3.4 ghz E5-2643, but the more cores the most "compensating" the PC does!!!

The new Dell UP3218K Monitors require dual DisplayPort 1.4 to be driven. The new GTX 1080 Ti has unofficial support for both DP 1.3 and DP 1.4 but the only GPU with official support is the Quadro P6000's replacement: the Quadro GP100. It has 4 DP 1.4 ports so it could run 2 Dell 8k displays! There is no price yet for it but we can assume it will be around $5k like its predecessor so, with all that in mind lets build a new Compensator with workstation grade parts! TL/DR: This is what i think would be enough to run FOUR 8K displays: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ztgXpb Should we annoy Linus until he gets enough sponsors to do it???

Are you going to post pictures on the builds thread???

Hello everyone! I have a suggestion for a new video/videos showing the best and worst of 2016 on all LMG channels. It could be two videos: one on the main channel showing best and worst products, reviews, news, etc all tech related and in a "serious" fashion like a real award ceremony. AND a second video on CSF with best and worst moments, jokes, burns, accidents, deleted takes, etc just for fun. So help me find the best (and worst) things we've seen on LMG this year and suggest what categories you would want to see or what is your favorite memory from this year!

I usually dont use programs to search for malware, I do a manual search of: browser extensions, running programs, installed programs, scheduled tasks and services to check if something shady was installed, also on program files check for weird folders and lastly on you user appdata folder. It helps to order stuff by date so you can find them easily but if it was not recent it might take you longer...

Hey guys, I've been looking the specs of the new PS4 and decided to find the same kind of hardware and see if you can build a PC for the same price. Check it out: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/TJarsun/saved/PLkLkL You only need to add Keyboard and Mouse, or a Controller and Wifi dongle if you can't have an ethernet cable (You should use ethernet anyways...) The CPU is the best Kabini out there for desktops: Athlon 5350. 4 cores, ~2 ghz. Kabini is based on the same "Jaguar" lineup as the PS4 and XBox one CPUs and they are CHEAP and really low power. this is the bottleneck of this build, but given the price it was a sacrifice to be made. The GPU is the closest one in performance to the one in the PS4: RX 460. it has over 2 TFLOPS so it is not more raw power than the PS4, I choose a model with 4 GB of RAM because the PS4 have 8 gb of memory, but for less than 100 bucks more you can get an RX 470 and that is a beast of a GPU! Mobo and RAM is as cheap as you can get (using well known brands). 8 GB of RAM is enough for gaming but you can add an extra stick for cheap if you want 16 GBs Storage: 120 GB SSD for OS and most used software and 1TB HDD for all the other stuff. You can save money by omiting the HDD or use just a bigger SSD but I included both because I would NOT recommend building a PC without a SSD.. the difference it makes on everyday use is just night and day! Case/PSU: I went for a case capable of giving some options with the GPU and also capable of using a regular sized PSU, just for some future-proofing. Problems with this build: As said earlier the CPU is the only thing that would bottleneck on some demanding games. And as it's the top of the range you can not upgrade it without changing the whole platform, but for $400 you get a nice PC for "studying" AND can game on it. If you can stretch to $500 some extra 8GB of RAM and an RX470 (changing the case to an Elite 130 so it fits) is a better build but you still have the same bottleneck. Starting at $600 you can get a great build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/TJarsun/saved/gcf7P6 switch to Intel's newest platform, can get a better CPU and more RAM in the future and max out games on 1080p easily!

Wow, even overnight prices fluctuate... Anyway, an AMD APU seems like the way to go, as the is no decent GPU at $69 if you ony consider new parts. This should be a Scrapyard Wars video, as the used market is more interesting!
