  1. I know that on NZXTs and Thermaltakes sites only the very first image contains the components, all others are just the case. I think it's good that it shows what it'll look like with parts in it.
  2. Razer is really hit-or-miss in my experience. Some products will be decent, or even good (The deathadder), and some will be just garbage (The Kraken USB...). One thing that is always the same is the crazy pricing, though. Edit: Crap, didn't realize thread was 5 years old, saw it on the recent activity tab
  3. I bought a Optiplex 9010 for ~100€, + a monitor for free. You want to look for ones that are sold by schools/businesses, they'll usually be sold in a lot, but if you contact them, you may be able to get a single tower by asking. If you buy one from like Ebay, you'll most likely be buying it from someone who bought one of those lots, and is reselling them, so you'll end up paying more. What I want to note, is that even the mini-tower models are quite small, and if you do decide to go for a beefier GPU, you need to make sure it's not too long (I ended up chopping off my HDD bay). Also doing bigger upgrades (such as new mobo, new case, or smth like that) is difficult and you need to do them at once since Dell uses proprietary stuff for things like the power button and USB ports.
  4. No. If you're worried, keep touching your case. Antistatic bracelets are usually a scam, anyways.

    HOW MANY

    I just ordered some cheap, no-name fans from AliExpress, since I wasn't about to drop 15€ on a single fan. Someone here will probably say that it does, but I don't think the fan models really make much of a difference apart from noise.

    HOW MANY

    I've found that 1 exhaust in the back of the case is the absolute minimum, and can drop temps by up-to 10-15 celsius depending mostly on your case. I'd add 1 intake as well, but after that the benefits are gonna be much smaller.
  7. Looks like I'm moving to Singapore
  8. That's clever. Trashy, but clever. Or maybe not so clever since they got caught.
  9. Granted, but you can only travel 30 minutes to the future or past per use. I wish public transport replaced all private vehicles.
  10. Don't use soap and let it dry completely, should still work.
  11. Effectively they're the same card, but especially if you're overclocking, the one with the better cooler will give you more FPS. Not by much, though,so just go for the one you think looks better (or the cheaper one, if looks don't matter to you, or the quieter one, etc.).
  12. I just take my PC to the garage and blow it with a compressor
  13. Check if your GPU even supports it, should probably say it on the box maybe (though I'll be surprised and really disappointed if a RTX 2070 super doesn't support it).

  15. Really anything in this forum apart from off-topic and maybe networking could be put under General Discussion. I just think it could ignite more discussion about it, and it'd be easier to find topics about it.
  16. I'm surprised there isn't one already, I thought this was a tech forum
  17. This is my biggest fear, which is why I try to urge people to just think about their privacy. It should be a right, a simple toggle on/off, not something I have to actively think about to get the slightest amount.
  18. I'm honestly the opposite. I couldn't care less about someone getting my phone number or e-mail and spamming me, since I can always just block them (Of course, I won't just give them away, but yeah), but someone getting access to something like my browser history or music playlist just feels.. Weird, even if there's literally nothing weird there.
  19. I.. What? By sections I mean stuff like "General discussion", "Off-topic", "Graphics cards", etc. Sorry if it's not the right term.
