I was bored so i decided to challenge myself and make the "most performance for dollar for the cheapest amount i could think of" pc build
so a lot of parts needed to be sourced from the cheapest parts from newegg.
for the pc case we went for this janky guy... 52 bucks and with cable...
with nvidia anouncing the 3 series card the obvious has happened to the second hand market.
its kinda gone nuts.
2080 and 2080 supers can be had for 350 and 400.
and i know you can say the 3080 is a beast and that the 3070 will be excellent and cheap... something tells me that the 3 series with...
well kinda. just a homebew dash out of lols and boredom. i had started this project a few years back but never planned to release anything (nor do i care to do so now)
i just find it amusing that i repurposed it into an android "desktop" gui launcher for kicks and giggles (mouse and keyboard...
Please if you suffer from anxiety and depression, i urge you to avoid reading the stuff below. Its just a window for me to vent my realities as someone who has been getting psychologically stressed at everything that has been going on.
If you had asked me what coronavirus would have looked like...
The ebay auction where i may have gone overboard.
1-4th gen i5 i7 and xeons (some i3's for good measure too. lol). ended up scooping this mess for about 300 bucks... gonna call friends and family and ask them if they would like free upgrades.
Linus tech tips had covered last year that there is a barrage of p106 nvidia video card in the market that are pretty much considered useless since the bitcoin collapse of 2 years ago:
In short the card can be used for gaming provided certain things are "just right" with your setup and you...
2019 has sure been an interesting year. i started the year being probably way to invested in the politics section while doing some dev work as i have in previous year for some minor stuff.
Oh boy has the politics section been fascinating this year. the body count of people getting banned or...
Friend of mine got an extra laptop that usually go on ebay for about 80 bucks or less on a regular basis.
It looked more or less like this:
Dell lappy
if you are forgiving enough of it being an older i5 these tend to be pretty competent if you put an ssd and bump them to 8gb of ram. (no they...
I ended up finally getting the remaining parts needed to build the PC.
for context you can read the previous entry on this here
-The case was bought from someone at letgo for 35 bucks (thing was still new!). However a very similar case can be found here
-1 of the SAS drives was still good but...
Doesnt sound as sexy as the 1 dollar one to be honest. but this one at least is on par with 2019 standards:
started with a similar car wreck as the last $1 gba blogpost and this one was also a dollar. the ips v2 kit was 49 dollars from china:
after some soldering and making a make shift...
boredom can be a killer of wallets.
i was browsing ebay today. and saw an nvidia 1070 for about a 150 dollars. ( I dont look often at them. The shortage of supply in video cards 2 years ago made sure i stayed away from checking prices until recently) given that my last "decent" card i have had...
I got a recent batch of broken consoles that I am fixing so i figured why the heck not make blog entries showing them getting fixed 1 by 1.
The first one is 1 one out of a batch of 2 gba's tha i got as part of tha batch.
Proceeded to order the replacement shell for 4 bucks on ebay:
Then i...
