Why would you buy this.
Also reminder they have a shitty jumper for 140 dollars
>>54086455
Because I thought it looked techy.
SSD.

It's a laptop I brought a month ago, I'm a fucking idiot who brought a retail laptop instead of just building a computer and I really regret it
>>54086517
Psvita and psp are for jp games honestly. If youre not a fan then its useless. Vita is swell hardware, does it have softmodding lile psp yet that resets when you power off?
>>54086656
Nothing I said - (minus) the graphics card
>>54086542
Ssd is good, its not gib you dumb ass, two monitors is great for actual work and usb mouse offers less latency and less potential to go wrong.
I feel like this post is weak trolling
>>54086542
Ram and mouse I understand but why the other two?
SSD is probably the most worth the money thing I have ever bought for my computer in my entire life
>>54086407
What are you trying to do?? Attach the GPU to your laptop somehow?
Shit doesn't work, nigga. You should have got a laptop with an expresscard slot, those are essentially PCI-E slots.
Thankfully Thinkpads are ~$200
>>54086304
As a paranoid fuck, I still use this if I'm going to be working inside of my main computer since it's expensive as fuck. Just in case.
My laptop.
I sold mine 2500k/gtx960 poorman's rig and bought piece of shit with i3-5005u that will lag ALL THE FUCKING TIME. And that TN shitty display..
Man I miss my PC so much.
>>54086792
why did you that?
>>54086456
shitty joke, nobody pays for linux.
>>54086542
It hurts to know that you're probably not kidding.
SSDs were a game changer for me (audio/video work, lots of large files and backups). 8GB of RAM is proving to be a little short (multiple VMs, 20-30 tabs open, DAW, etc.). Two monitors would be fucking incredible if I had the desk space.
USB mouse as opposed to what? PS2?
/g/ is a bunch of fucking memesters.
>>54086304
But those matter when you are dealing with CMOS parts?
>>54086805
I am constantly changing places atm, thought that moving my PC all the time will be a problem.
And I had no idea that modern i3 (even ULV one) is so shitty. I mean, fuck gayming, but this shit lags all the time.
>>54086689
It doesn't have shit, man. Can someone explain why Sony is so against modding any of the PlayStations' softwares? Look at Google, you can do whatever the fuck you want to your android and they don't give a fuck, unlike Sony.
>>54086318
is that a penis vibrator?
>>54086304
I bought those after one of my RAM sticks slowly went bad. Just for peace of mind.
>>54086517
This, I had so much fun with homebrew on PSP and I thought Vita will be even better for fucking around because of better hardware. I was so fucking wrong.
I bought an acer aspire laptop because it was on sale. In my defense it was originally $800 and on sale for $400 (for a reason), and you couldn't really find a 4gb ram, i5 for that cheap then, and the screen is a nice oled (1366x768 though), but holy fuck did I regret not getting a laptop with a dedicated gpu.
All in all it wasn't a terrible purchase and it still works so its obviously built half decent, but for like $100-$200 more I could have done a lot better.

No. USB 3.0 does not have PCIe headers. Thunderbolt 3 is your only hope.
>>54086304
Not to bad
>>54087503
Not even if I was running it through Optimus rather than running my desktop off it? Be warned, all I know about it is it sends its frames to the iGPU like a video or something. I'm not well versed.
>>54087558
Ehat is this
>>54087599
No.
You just can't connect a PCIe device through USB 3.0. Real PCIe devices (not the USB ones) needs to be connected directly to the chipset, unlike USB devices that are controlled via USB controller.
>>54087558
those are so expensive. Did you buy it for yourself or do you do a lot of network professionally?

What is wrong with 2 monitors ? It's good to have more real estate.
>>54087802

>>54087734
I did some cat6 installs as side gigs, small jobs (5-15 drops) , wanted to do bigger installs so I bought one, then every local dickweed that did security camera installs seemed to start offering network drops for $90 - $100 a drop. Market dried up within a few months. I'll probably end up selling it and lose my ass.
>>54087558
Holy fuck. I hope you install cables for a living because that is a lot of money to blow. I'm not going to lie though I've always wanted to get one to play around with. I'm jelly as fuck.
>>54087791
No familia. PCI also can't "talk" to USB controller. Just because a device (let's take a laptop's mPCIe wifi card for example) uses PCIe/PCI/mPCIe connector doesn't mean it's a PCIe/PCI device. It just uses this connector for practical reasons.

200 bucks.
had a new fresh build, bought windows 10 for 105 usd... ended up hating it so much and after finding out i could get licenses on reddit or kinguin for like 15-25 usd i ended up getting a windows 7 license and using that instead. still a waste of 105 bucks... no way to get a refund either
>>54088577
Well, I get that. It grounds you so you don't go shocking the board, which is pointless since OP can just touch the case every once in a while and discharge that way. What I want to know is how much he paid for it.
bought a logitech g400s from some company in china and when i received it(two weeks later) it had a faulty sensor. i demanded a refund and they gave it which is fortunate. what's weird is the sensor is working fine now for some reason i can't figure out. i h ave no idea what the fucking problem was at the first time i plugged it in but it seems to have fixed itself. whatever. got a free mouse

>>54088496
144hz monitor is absolutely glorious. You notice it immediately after you turn the monitor on and start moving your mouse, before you even get into a game.
That being said, it is still a toy for those who can afford and a 60hz will be good enough for everything you could possibly use a monitor for, so don't worry about upgrading unless you like playing with your fancy toys.
>>54092877
I play games, but I'd like a monitor that can do 120Hz because it would be able to display 24fps and 30fps content "natively." That's just my autism, though.

Lenovo Z50-75.
Worst-ever implementation of an AMD system I've seen.
Takes literal minutes to load anything that's not Windowa 8/10/Linux and even then it's still tens of seconds too long to boot. I'm using an 840 Pro.
The screen has literally no viewing angles and is 6-bit, the battery lasts less than two hours, it's all around horrible. My sister's Acer laptop on the same APU does none of this shit. (A10-7300)

ESD is no joke. Yeah you can probably get away without an anti-static wrist band when assembling your PC as long as you discharge yourself on something grounded before you start, don't work on carpet, and only touch the motherboard on the edges but for actually handling components they are required.
You should see some places where PCBs are assembled. Static precautions can go far beyond wrist bands and are strictly enforced by management. If they send out loads of boards that fail because some dumbass technician didn't take ESD precautions it can cost the company loads of money, not only for product that has to be replaced but also in lawsuits (for instance, let's X company builds fire alarm PCBs, a PCB gets destroyed by ESD, there's a fire somewhere, alarm doesn't go off, people die, now you're liable because your product failed). No joke.
Also, ESD isn't just shocks you feel. You will generally not feel static shocks under 2000V but it's more than enough to damage or destroy CMOS components. Also, sometimes damaged components will intermittently fail so they might pass a quality test but in reality they're bad.

Your multimeter has probably shown "nc" because they have a 1M resistor in series, dummy.
>>54095244
>>54095405 This. The point of the high value resistor is to limit the current. Set your multimeter to measure resistance next time instead of continuity.
If it wasn't there you would have a brief current spike of the ESD voltage/the internal resistance of the wire. It would probably be in the range of a few hundred to a few thousand amps though it'd only last for a few nanoseconds.

>If it wasn't there you would have a brief current spike of the ESD voltage/the internal resistance of the wire. It would probably be in the range of a few hundred to a few thousand amps though it'd only last for a few nanoseconds.
So what if a higher current will pass through it for a while? It's not like it's going to fry it and damage anything else.
The resistor is there to prevent buildup of higher voltages while protecting from random shorts of operating voltages to the ground through your body.
>>54095740
In other words it's needed only for when you are working with a live circuit. If the circuit is off, the resistor doesn't really do anything useful I'm aware of.

Why are people so fucking bad at buying headphones? Or making them for that matter?
>watch any Skullcandy/Beats on-ear headphone review
>reviewer has the strap protruding off the back of their head at an angle, cups bending away from the ear
>"Yeah, they're really comfortable, you'll have no problem fitting them."
What is it about audio equipment which makes people lose all sense of reality?

I'm using one of these right now for a touch monitor that only has vga and it works.

My PC at works has to use one of those.
I bought a dual core atom board and a pci geforce 8400gs 4-5 years ago intending on using it as a media/browsing box.
Fast forward to the present and I only now have finally built it. Want to use it for streaming video and light gaming/emulating. It lags while playing Cave Story... but that game is entirely cpu dependant. Kinda struggles playing youtube hd video in chrome botnet. Still gotta try out kodi so the verdict is still out.
Video card sounds like a vacuum. Did I do bad /g/?
