From experience the company I work for decided paying a bit more for the kit with dedicated hardware gave a better appearance then ones with the light splitting things in them (whatever they used, Prisms?)

I haven't had a chance to look inside the new kit we got for this years festival season, nothing has been broken yet. We all hope stuff doesn't break because its so expensive, but it gives us a change to see what black magic is really going on inside them.

Someone at my school had a Ryzen CPU and an Intel motherboard, but he was a cheapskate and didn't want to buy a new mobo, so the CPU didn't fit (duh), but he used a wire cutter to CUT OFF EVERY PIN ON THE CPU!! I hear the smell when he turned it on was quite interesting.

 

If you need a cheap AM4 motherboard, I'd suggest the Ass Rock AB350M. It's got NVME and DDR4-3200 support, and the VRMs are cooled. I got my 2600 on 4.3 GHz with it. DO NOT stick it in an Intel board!!

Do you really have that many people in your school trying to build computers? I mean, I go to a university that's known nationally for its computer science/IT department and I don't know that many people building their own machines.

"Wait, the guy from Linus Tech Tips?

No... that's Linus Sebastian.

 

Linus Torvalds is the guy who created Linux.

 

Unless your post is a /s post and you knew that.

 

Then, yes.

Well, the post had quotation marks in it, so it's probably a /s.

One quotation. 

 

I mean, probably still, but some people really wouldn't know who Torvalds is.

My school uses DisplayPort to DVI to HDMI to Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort to VGA, they have like 100 HDMI cables lying around and Chromeboxes have HDMI support...and the monitors too

the computers in my school haven't been updated since the school opened and some of them are barely running windows 10. they have so much dust in every PC its sad

I don't know what's funnier 

 

The people who don't know jack shit about what they said or the people who claim they've moved on but spent the next 10-15 minutes trying to deface or "expose" you. 

 

Spoiler

When in reality, they're just making themselves look even more like idiots.

Someone should tell schools that even a small 32 GB SSD makes the computers almost new again. I once had to edit on a system with a quad-core i7. Not bad, but there were only 8 gigs of ram, one shitty, dusty cooler, and a fucking HDD.

>32GB SSD

No. Stop.

64GB at the minimum.

Some Google Docs-only computers could run on 32 gigs. Also, schools are on a budget.

32GB SSDs don't exist anymore and if they do they're likely super low quality, same for 64GB (except for the one I have in my system which is quite good)

120GB Patriot Burst is 20$ and is relatively good quality (like a MX500).

chromebooks usually have 16gb ssds

Windows 10 itself barely runs on 32Gigs of Storage. Trust me. i have a strange HP Laptop with 32 Gigs EMMC Storage. I just installed Chrome and i had like 400 MB left. Even the updates dont install. And this thing was 300 Euros new !!!! Minimum is 128GB for me...

1903 (actually 1905) requires 32GB minimum, so 32GB is basically obsolete now

Yes. But 300 Euros for a Machine with 32GB EMMC Storage, 2 GB RAM and an Dual-Core Celeron that clocks at 1,6 GHz max ?

The Machine is like 1 Year old...

We used to see how quickly we could make the computers shit themselves in solid works when I did design. 

It didn't take long, just open a large assembly of something you made at home. 

My priced procession was a whole transaxle, college computer couldn't even open that bad boy

I think even the computer that we put stuff on for laser cutting had like 450 gigs of ssd. That was its sole purpose. Sending files. 

My college was just a standard college here in the UK, so I assume that the government have a contract with Dell who supplied pretty much all of the PC's there
