    Yocracra reacted to Suika in What’s with the massive price difference?   
    The GTX 1060 is an older card replaced by cards like the GTX 1660 Super and 1660 Ti. I don't know the actual reason as to why, but when cards are replaced by a newer series, some retailers will inflate the pricing of the old card pretty drastically. Both of those prices are incredibly inflated, nobody in their right mind should buy either, by the way, but one is more so than the other.
     
    Look for a cheaper card in the current lineup instead.

    Well wow. If I were you I would build a PC for the fun of it, and especially since you have such a high budget and standards. I'm not great at picking higher priced parts, as I have more experience with budget PCs.

    Yocracra got a reaction from Hyo in Do i really need the Addressable RGB card?   
    It really shouldn't affect fan speeds at all. It is for sure a nice thing to plug in since it adds a really nice feel to your PC. If I were you i would install it using a YouTube video or something. I don't think it needs anything more than a SATA port.

    At least with Steam, it has an "autocorrect corrupted files" option built in to it.
    Windows (prior to Win10 anyway, can't vouch for Win10 as I do not use it) also has it built-in via "sfc" and "chkdsk"

    Yocracra reacted to minibois in Weird request:   
    What I pasted was simply text, just like all the other letters in this post.
    Text isn't inherently a specific size, but in a program like word you can increase text size; but it's still simply text.
     
    You asked for a large character, which is why I specified that.

    Can someone send me a character that’s just a square? Preferable an extremely large character.
     
    Ex: This (⬛️) except no gradient and it’s a character not an emoji. (If you could greatly increase the size I would be very grateful. Currently trying to solve a possible easter egg on W10.

    Okay, if you're streaming from youtube, why not just get a $20-$30 roku?

    Yocracra reacted to steelo in Requirements to run 720p   
    If you're on a $30 budget, that may be your only option.

    I believe your cheapest route if all you want to do with it is play videos at 720p is a raspberry pi 3 ($35) Another route may be to use chromecast or roku to stream the videos from a phone or device to the monitor. This is all assuming the monitor has a HDMI port.
     
    If you're wanting to buy or build a full blown PC, I'd say just about anything with fairly modern hardware can play 720p videos.

    Yocracra reacted to minibois in Where to buy the frame of an HDD/SSD   
    You can try to get a broken SSD of an online marketplace or try your luck at a tech recycling place/junkyard.
     
    @CUDAcores89 might have some advice on the junkyard route.
     
    I don't think it's feasible to get just one SSD 'clamshell', as these are usually bought in bulk by someone like Samsung or WD.

    Yocracra reacted to greenhorn in Where to buy the frame of an HDD/SSD   
    If you only need the "shell" of a hard drive, I would suggest buying a used/defective one on a site like ebay, craigslist (whatever is available in your country). If you are lucky,you might find defective hard drives at a scrapyard, provided you are allowed to take them.

    The mouse cost less than 7$ on Aliexpress, was super easy to find, it's literally branded on the picture.
    https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW-Wired-Gaming-Mouse-Mice-7-Buttons-Optical-Computer-Mouse-E-Sports-USB-Mouse-For-Computer/32410588498.html

    Add to that a 2$ shipping fee and they are still making around 1$ in profit off something they don't even need to stock up or anything waste inventory space for.
    Overall, this is an obvious "publicity stunt" to get people on their site with a supposedly "free" product.
    (Also take note that that if you have any quantity greater than 1, it won't even let you checkout)

    Well, the box proved that. It sounds a lot better, but after messing with the gain structure, it seems OBS and the box put a lot of fuzz into the mic. So my volume is a little low. Other than that, it works great. Thanks!

    Look for old people with money on your street and say ‘do you want me to remove your viruses for £5’, and say that they need a new hard drive, charge em £80 for a 250gb and sleep in the money.

    I can agree with this. I build PCs for friends / friends-of-friends but not much further than that. Usually we negotiate some sort of payment but honestly it's just something I like doing.
