    Looks like it is going to be quite close but looks like it "should" work Not 100% sure but also guesing that with a couple more googles you could get a schematic of sorts to compare everything up properly and see it it fits "virtually" first.
  2. ihatemufflers88
    Depends on a bunch of factors IMO. Some of which, What do you value your time at How much longer is it going to take you to "learn" how to do this What would comparable services elsewhere cost and why should "they" choose you instead of a "business" Just my $0.02 Been doing "freelance" work for the past ~10 years on PCs/cars. Hope this helps

    Although you could just plop it on a desk or something, you will have a hell of a time getting a GPU in there. I would recommend, looking for a Poweredge T410/T610/T710 as you will be able to much easier get a GPU in there, and it is already a tower, with the same CPU support. I've been dealing w/ 11th gen dell servers for awhile and am currently running two T410s in my house. Feel free to PM if you have other questions.

    yea......... they super dont
  5. ihatemufflers88
    No, but you may need another computer+flash drive to get nic drivers. That said, win 10 is miles better than XP/7 @ having included drivers. IMO, I would copy everything that you "need" to a flash/external, reformat, and do a fresh install. Especially if you are switching to a new CPU generation or going AMD>Intel or vise versa
  6. ihatemufflers88
    yea, thats basically like trying to have SLI or dual CPU sockets over a network. Assuming you had a degree in say software engineering you could hypothetically figure it out...... but, the much much easier thing to do would be to upgrade your computer.
  7. ihatemufflers88
    Even a large speaker or magnet for that matter wont be an issue. Assuming you have platter drives they have magnetic shielding on the case that does an almost magical job of not allowing any magnetism to get through. No other components as far as I'm aware will be affected at all. Hope this helps
  8. ihatemufflers88
    If you just swap out the drive, it wont be activated. but you can call MS to reactivate it.
  9. ihatemufflers88
    I completely agree that you should do a fresh install. However doing a sysprep on the old machine before you pull the drive would help that aspect immensely. Just read up on what it does before you do it.

    This is on hardwire? good that nothing is dropped I'd be curious to see if WiFi has same results.
  11. ihatemufflers88
    "never updating" has potentials to be a problem at some poing (security blah blah) NP, and hate to say it but if you try and give a google on this, maybe a bit broader you might have some luck. GL

    Got it, they are super cool little pieces of kit that let you look at all sorts of aspects of electricity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscilloscope Let me know how all that other crap goes though and we can go from there.
  13. ihatemufflers88
    Let me know how it goes, also, regarding powerline. The electricity in your house could be affecting the functionality and performance of those adapters. That is much harder to troubleshoot (Oscilloscopes and such)
  14. ihatemufflers88
    I would personally blame updates..... but not familiar with this issue TBH
  15. ihatemufflers88
    Forgot about the whole WiFi thing....... lol
