Posted July 19, 2013 I don't know. There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Posted July 19, 2013 that "rubbish" psu is a seasonic on the inside :huh: It's their cheaper version. The plastic on the end of the connecters is really cheap. You could snapped it with your pinky. I accidentally snapped 2 just by plugging the SSD in.

Posted July 19, 2013 I gave my dad my old system with a E6400 & 9600GT... As far as my mom, I'm not sure if she's upgraded since I've seen her which was several years ago. Back then she had an old ass POS all in one iMAC, it was the only computer she ever had so if she did get a new system it's probably another POS iMAC. Guess I should ask next time I talk with her...

Posted July 19, 2013 This is the one I built for her (and my dad) recently (it was a rush job in a few hours one afternoon after the motherboard on their previous rig, a Dell, died suddenly): Case: Corsair Carbide 300R PSU: Antec Earthwatts 430W Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H CPU: Intel Core i5-3450S Memory: 2x4GB Partiot 1600MHz Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 4600 series (can't recall exact model) (reused) Hard Drive: Seagate 750GB Barracuda (reused) Optical Drive: LG DVD Burner (reused) I later added an SSD and replaced the video card with my previous one (7850) when I replaced it with a 7970. Not too shabby of a system, and it should suit their needs for years to come.

This is the bottom of the line one with no upgrades. Your friend might have a higher spec one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 20, 2013 This is the bottom of the line one with no upgrades. Your friend might have a higher spec one. Oh yeah that makes sense. Now I'm forcing him to get a new laptop (doesn't matter if it's apple or other stuff). His battery is the best battery i've ever seen. Can't even hold for 30 mins idle. 1080p drains his battery in 5 mins.
