I actually wiped it off with a cloth before I took these photos lol. Iphone are shit. After about 2 years they start turning to shit.

Also sorry for the pretty awful picture quality. The iPhone 11 pro max doesn't like all the lights, In my first build cable management with a big issue and you can see that cables are basically invisible besides the AIO lines.

Hello! I am AirSocial and I am a pretty old user on the forum. In mid 2018 I made a post showing off my PC at the time. It had a i3-8100 with no GPU and 8GB of ram with just a 120gb SSD. Everyone was extremely supportive and only told me nice things and help me improve it. Now here I am today in 2022 now 18 with a job and able to purchase parts. This is what that one post inspired me to do. The way people reacted proved to me to just make what I like and I would enjoy it more. She now has a i5-9400f, with 32GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB Ram, with a Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB, a Gigabyte H370 Aorus board, Corsair H100 AIO, and a Corsair CX650m. With the desk setup being a Corsair K70 Mk.2, Corsair Glaive, Corsair Void Pros, and the RGB Corsair extended mousepad (Forgot the name lol). As you can tell I enjoy Corsair a lot showing almost anything that can be Corsair is, down to the power supply. Also, the AIO is a 240mm but do to ram clearance can only fit 1 fan. This may seem like a waste but the i5 stays pretty cool averaging about 23C on idle with just the one fan. I basically bought the AIO for future proofing. I hope everybody enjoys the progress! Here is a link to the old post. Shoutout @Crunchy Dragon for believing.

Sell it. They go for about $30 on eBay.

So I got the computer today. ITS wayyy better than I thought. It looks brand new. Came with a version of Mac from 2016. Updated it and it works perfectly for what I need. Its fast in Safari, and I can do everything I wanted too with it. I thought this was not going to be this good but I guess amazon proved me wrong. I would def recommend this to anyone!!

Thanks for confirming the RAM is soldered.

The biggest thing i'm planning too do on it is watch youtube videos. Thats the biggest. Im going to be using it for travel too because of the small size. Even my first little ASUS Eee PC with a Atom N450 can do videos so I thing it should be good enough for what I need.

What do you mean by your GPU Exploded... What exploded the PCB?

So this is really unnecessary but if your into it I would get a Corsair 270r case with a side panel. If you are into that type of stuff I would do it because your basically buying a wayy overpowered motherboard since you wont even be able to overclock your cpu so at least show of the RGB you have lol. So save some money you could more than likely drop the motherboard down a lot if you don't plan to overclock.

So if you ever followed my account you would see im a fan of budget things. For example my $80 in total PC with a x3440 xeon, 8gb of ram, and a HD 6450. So I was in the market for a new laptop. I wanted to get a Mac because of linking compatibles with my phone. Also I felt like $1000 for a laptop with a 1.5GHz i5 is kinda a ripoff.. So I tho to get one used. Most of them are from 2011 - 2013. I was going to get a Macbook Pro used for $300 but I hated the bulky design of it. I decided on this one. $371. $402 with taxes. Its from 2012. I ordered it yesterday with 3.5 rating on amazon. Most of them are scratched up but it seems like its kinda win or loose with the model you get. Either its flawless, decent condition, or wont even turn on out of the box. So I took my chances thanks to the Amazon 90 money back guarantee I could also return it. It has a 13inch LCD screen. So I wanted a Retina screen but those models used are in the $600 price range so I tho I don't really need it and settled for the LCD. This Air has a i5 - 3427U clocked at 1.8GHz with 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM which can be upgraded, Intel HD 4000 Graphics, and a 128gb SSD drive. I plan on after the 90 Amazon warranty if everything works to upgrade it to 8GB of ram if its even possible to upgrade it. Only reason for that is because most issues with them happen with the first month or two of owning them so It should be good after then and upgrading would void a free warranty so who wants that. First thing I plan on doing tomorrow when I get it is too upgrade it to a newer version of Mac Mojave. Then I will more than likley post another review of the speed, condition, and overall what I feel of buying it. Stay tuned!!

It should be fine if it was powered off

This is what Im thinking so far, "20RM0001US" I want to buy it from Lenovo due to discounts I get from my job and Lease-To-Own opportunities.

I am just looking for a simple laptop. I would go with a gaming laptop but wayyy out of price range. I would like it to be $600 and under, and it has to be from the Lenovo Website. Thanks to whoever can help

Thats a good idea list for 800 but the lowest you will take it 700

Actually this system is perfectly balanced besides the PSU being a little overkill. And he didn't ask if it was balanced or not.

Your cpu fan, case fan

Everything looks fine. with my i3-8100 and 1060 6GB i can get around 100FPS most games and about 144 on normal or medium settings so you should be fine

Should be more than good

What

Is there like a section in the BIOS where you can choose your Boot drive or list your storage devices in order of boot? If so put it in slot 2 and see if it is detected in bios

Try changing it in BIOS?

I have a i3-8100, 1060 6gb and I have a 450watt and I use about 260 watts MAX!
