Really. Always check your local dumpster. I got this fully functioning laptop for 5 EUR. I got a screenshot for ya to show you that I'm not kidding
-
Yeah! If the haswell CPU and the two 771 CPUs perform almost the same, the 2nd PC has the advantage by having 24GB of ram
-
That's exactly what I said. The first PC has 24GB of RAM which migh tgive it an advantage over the 8 gigs of the second one. But the second PC has a much newer architecture and a newer socket which is an advantage in the future.
-
I'd get the second PC. It's newer and allows for upgrades in the future. The first PC might have an advantage now, but it is not really upgradeable anymore if you need more power.

I guess that it's a stack connector, the same type that you will find on network switches that can be connected together. You probably won't find any adapter for this one. I mean, a lot of the server stuff is proprietary and not designed for any home use. Those servers are optimized to work in the given configuration.
-
Usually it's 5400/5900/7200 RPM. I guess it's 5400 since it's a laptop drive
-
The AMD K6-2/AMD K7/Athlon XP gave better framerates
-
Yeah. SDRam or RDRam would be my guess
-
It's probably a wire hitting the fan blades, but it might be a broken fan.
-
Open it up to see if the connector has broken loose.

Go to your local scrapyard and look for usable parts. Usually, those guys will give them to you for free. If you really want to buy brand new, you could buy an AsRok QC5000M, it has an A4 quad core CPU and doesn't need to be cooled actively.
-
Even if this computer store built it for you, since you don't have an OS, you would have to install all this stuff anyways. It's not that difficult.

Decent USB or PCI Network adapter for around $20?
Lolucoca replied to spycer92's topic in Networking
I would ask at the IT department of your local school, usually, they have stuff like this flying around everywhere and are more than happy to give it to you for free That's how I got around 10 gigabit ethernet cards -

Actually, it sound more like MLB (main logic board) failure so it should be a tier 4 (very expensive) repair. Does it connect to a computer? If it does, the lcd cable might just've become loose.
-
Nope. They will charge at least $200, I'd bring it to an independent repair shop and have them either fix it (if you need data off it) or tell you that it's not worth being repaired.
-
I would really build it myself. If you decide to let them build it, factor a cost of $120-$200 in.
-
Anyways, you're not living in a time where you could really f*** something up Ah, those memories...
-
It depends on how much time they will spend on building your PC. If it's a $5000 watercooled computer with RGB lighting, they will certainly spend a lot of time on your PC (In germany, they take about $60-$70 an hour). I would just build it by myself.
-
Use NetLimiter 4. There's a trial version that's lasting forever.
-
I would start up doing some analog projects, I don't think it's a good way to start with digital stuff like arduino...

I just managed to install an nVidia GPU cooler on an Ati card :P
Lolucoca replied to Lolucoca's topic in Graphics Cards
Yeah, it's at 30°C at the moment Yup I really like the feel of CRTs and old computers -
The fan of my trusty 9600 Pro was way too loud, so I grabbed myself a GeForce FX 5200, cut a piece of that cooler off and install it on my 9600 Pro Turns out they have exactly the same distance between the push pins

Core 2 Duo E6320 2GB DDR2 Some Random HP Board Athlon 64X2 5000+ BE 2GB DDR2 Asus M2N-SE Not that great, but they're folding 24/7

Cave diving is the most dangerous sort of diving since you can't just go up and breathe again. You need to have a lot of experience for that.
