Never seen a computer in a thrift store in my life, let alone a half-decent one. I did grab a few old Core 2 Duo machines when my local college was throwing them out though.

>buying used computers

Have fun getting ass raped in prison when you get busted for cp.

Yeah, I do. Local shop that sells them for cheap. Just old computers clients never paid for services rendered or came back to pick up.

I spend $50-$200 on them(mouse, keyboard, monitor included), clean them, fresh paste, system wipe.

Then, I find what I can do to the tower. What cheap little upgrades I can do, then drop them on Craig's list. I don't really make much profit, but it's a hobby that pretty much pays for itself and gets more computers to more people.

git gud fgt

I'm a sysadmin for a fairly large university. Unfortunately, this sort of shit is perfectly legal and objecting to it would be essentially meaningless unless you somehow either got the EFF on board or organized some huge student movement, neither of which is likely.

Many universities (including the one I work for) take a light touch approach to internet access and treat it as a utility that you're paying for via your tuition and/or housing costs. Consequently, we operate our internet more or less like a commercial ISP would, sans corporate money-grubbing bullshit....

How does it feel to know that no matter what you do, someone, somewhere will be able to circumvent all your hard work?

gimme the name so i can buy stocks

You should either have spat in their face while you had the chance or signed on and sabotaged them.

My friend's dad ordered one 128 ssd and Amazon fucked up and sent him 10. He sold all of them except for the one and made mint.

So my advice. Get lucky.

Intel drives have been the most reliable in my experience

I've had crucial and kingstons and they all fail pretty quick.

All my Intel ssds are still working

I'd go with a KIngston HyperX 3k mine is going on to 2 years now

Chinkpad appretication special.

The keyboard isn't as bad as they warned it would be... it's less mushy but its missing that glorious 7th row and has a shitty layout.

Whats a good price for a W520, i7, with 4gb of ram? It doesnt include a power supply or a hard drive which isn't a big deal. I was thinking $300?

>poorfags will post this 500 fucking times every day

>ur was poor if u don't have mac.

Nigger please. My whole waredrobe costs more than your house you psuedo rich faggot. The macbook is for middle class white girls that want to feel like they're rich for buying a $1200 Facebook machine. Apple is not the pinnacle of technology. Get the fuck off this board.

Magnets holding the two body pieces together and for moving the head around, some sort of spinning mass in the center of the sphere to propel it? Somewhat educated guess.

you can build a lot of things with enough money

Nothing wrong with that. I'm kinda considering just getting a flip phone when my current smartphone breaks since I give no fucks about muh apps and I find it adds more distraction than convenience to my life.

>>47568579
Smartphones are literally technological cancer. Stay far away from them, don't even accept as a gift.

>doubling your phone bill
Are you retarded? You buy a $300 phone once and use the exact same sim card as in your old phone

I use a pair of 2560x1440 monitors. They're great. Got them for cheap. HP ZR2840W.

I've been able to do 2048x1536 since 1999. Though 60Hz sucks so 1920x1440 @72 is nicer.

I trend to be frugal, so no. I'm also getting to oldfag age where I don't care for the latest and greatest. Imma stick with 1080p for while. You mad?

You mean faraday cage?

4. In reality it's just under my desk sitting there not protecting shit
5. Continue to shitpost on /g/

Do you know how to google? Just read a fucking review of it, thats how we learn about new technology

I'm just asking for opinions from people that visit this board, I've already seen reviews but they only speak about the price and "it runs chrome lol"
