To be honest with you with a budget like that go to something like HP Z Workstations website or Pudget Systems. The only trap not to fall in at that point is getting a high core count cpu that might tank your single core performance.

ye, but the default batteries that come in a 1200va should be enough for your needs. Just suggesting the higher end ones when urs does die caues their not much more expensive

nah id go with 850W minimum. luckily for you used good quality PSU's go for a decent bit on ebay so u can sell your 650 to pay for most of a new 850W psu

1200va should be fine too. i dont know what amperage the batteries in those come as but what i did with my 1500va is after the included 8amp hour batteries reached the end of their life i got 9amp hour batteries in the same form factor to replace them and got better runtime than when the 8amp hour where new

my dad used to be like that until he was literally forced to upgrade from his galaxy s4 because his trading app no longer supported andriod 4 ...tbh just wait till then

the budget motorola phones are really good for the price

based on how heavy u use ur phone the battery might not last more than 2-3 years.. but tbh its a waist to keep upgrading ur phone every 2 years...maybe 6 years is too much though. Id personally just upgrade when the andriod version stops receiving security updates. I for example used a Honor 6x until 3 years ago then i went to an S9 that i got cheap off ebay and last month got a note 10+

while gaming? no completely idle? probably, tho id still consider a 1500va APC UPS which is about 100-200 dollars

so i dont know what the motherboard uses exactly, but the sound blaster uses creatives own core3di chipset and i highly doubt the motherboard i using the same thing.

nah theres no way ur gonna be downgrading it i personally have a sound blaster Z SE and its a huge difference with my speakers and headphones. Ur motherboard prob uses realtek HD audio or something like that.

i have overclocked my gt730 before too but mine had a fan, if ur case has good airflow it should be fine, if not ziptie a fan to it. then run furmark in a windows constantky, then increase the core clock and memory clock by 10mhz and apply it. as long as u get no artifacts and u dont crash keep increasing it by 10mhz and apply it..repeat until it comes up with artifacts or crashes (it normal for ur entire pc to crash). then when u get back into the sftware after the crash bring it down by 10mhz and ur good/.

that actually pretty weird since by all accounts this is how the power output should be according to the USB specs USB 2.0: 5V at 500mA which is 2.5Watts USB 3.2 gen 1 and gen 2: up to 20V at 5amps which is 100watts

this is the official pdf Dell PowerEdge R720 and R720xd Technical Guide

well, these servers have their own built in hardware raid card. These servers actually use SAS controllers and SAS drives, but they are backwards compatible with sata. the Benefit of hardware raid is that it puts no load on the CPU or memory because the hardware raid card has its own specialized CPU to handle everything (usually an IBM PowerPC CPU). And its connected internally via a pci-e x16 slot. The downside is if you want to use software raid (which u shouldnt because that means exta load for your cpu and ram and is pretty inefficient since then the server drinks power like no tomorrow) u cant since the hardware raid card does not provide raw access to the OS.

you could build a server from scatch..or you can go on ebay and get some really powerful and purpose built servers from ebay. Like the Dell R720xd and stuff it full of HDD's...then raid them together...install linux...and done... u also get some powerful cpus (if ur not gaming that is) and a ton of ram

rlly? didnt know that...cool!

well its in a totally different market segment...but this is one of the only cpus that has many mnay cores...also amd killed traditional threadripper and u can only get threadripper pro in a prebuilt workstation...sooooo technically amd doesnt have an option u can build urself either anymore...unless u want to build old threadripper

xeon phi Intel Xeon Phi Processor 7295 16GB 1.5 GHz 72 Core Product Specifications

only thing is what format is the raid gonna be...it cant be ext4 since mac doesnt support it...and tbh making it exFAT is kinda weird for a nas with very important data on it

what are the specs of this machine?

I dont know how computer savvy your friend is here but it would be easier to teach her / her to figure out how to add another HDD in the future with mac os rather than linux. also tbh for a machine thats purpose is only to be a nas server for the internal network, any version of macos would be able to do the trick no matter how old or new it is...its not like your actually using it ..and its not like its going to access the internet unless you also want to work with your nas server

Applications on windows RARELY install to appdata unless you MAKE them. The problem is no matter where u install them all the users have access to the program through the shortcuts the install will place everywhere, so then it becomes a game of deleting the shortcuts from all the other users desktops and start menus. however after that the programs can be completely separated. in General, you can separate the files between the accounts since the documents, desktop, and downloads folders are in their own user directory so thats all fine. tbh u should not need to install a second OS which is a hassle because you have to then maintain both. and settting up a VM just for this is a paint especially on linux...it is doable and will solve most of your problems if you really want to go this route tho.

i bet there are some mac minis off ebay that are cheap

i mean, a really cheap mac mini and a second 3tb wd my cloud (connected with usb to the mac mini) and a raid one could do the trick

hold on...did u say USB floppy and USB zip?
