How did I do cunts? Bought this shitposting machine for $141AU. I have a HDD lying around from another machine.
>>54574238
put an ssd in it so it'll actually be nice to use imo
>>54574282
I agree. I am trying to find out whether there are any 2.5" slots left in the machine after the ODD.

Looks like it has extra SATA slots for a SSD but I might need a Y adapter to split power from the HDD to the SSD. I'll see when it arrives. There are special caddies out there too but don't know how difficult it would be to source them.

For general and everyday stuff there's pretty much no point making a budget system anymore. Better to just buy a 9010 optiplex, a lenovo m90p or a Hp elite SFF
>>54574473
Yeah, I had to do something similar when putting an SSD in my Dell Optiplex something-something at work.
Used one of these http://www.cablechick.com.au/cables/internal-4-pin-molex-to-sata-power-splitter-y-cable-sata-2-sata-3-compatible.html
Above site is pretty good if you're in Australia btw.
>>54574627
Thanks m80. Looking forward to getting it so I can figure out what needs to be done. Might order a DP to HDMI cable from that site too.
>>54574318
just unplug the odd if there are no spare sata ports. you don't need it in $current_year
>>54574667
Yep, that's the plan. I think there should be after reading a few forum posts on similar Q77 machines. I might even tape or prod the SSD inside the ODD tray if it comes to that.

>$141, not bad
>AU, shit son you got ripped off
>>54576542
Couldn't find anything better for that price in AU sadly. These probably go for less than a $100 in USA.
>>54576558
yeah, without hdd, they go for around $70-$80 U.S. refurbished on newegg
>>54574238
for 149 is bretty good speks desu senpai

Australians are buggered when it comes to component prices including software and games. Don't even get me started on the cucked state of the internet bandwidth here.
I got my GTX 980 early last year (before the GTX 980Ti was released) for $250 AUD. I'm hoping to jew my way into a GTX 1080 for about the same price as well.
>>54577071
OCAU forums are pretty good for that if you don't have any luck at ebay/gumtree/grays
>>54577099
>OCAU
That's where I got my GTX 980 from...
>>54577071
How did you get such a good price?
>>54577140
It was an ex-review unit, about 2 hours of use with 11 months of warranty left. Reviewer wanted to make room for the GTX 980 Ti.
>>54576593
But surely you don't pay for software and games, right?
>>54577140
see
>>54577135
sign up to ocau, wait 90 days and then get access to the classified forums. Smartphones go at good prices too.

There's a reason why we always top the piracy ratings anon
I've got one of them. Been using it for a monitor stand. Should resurrect it.
>>54577171
I've been an OCAUer for nearly ten years Anon.
>>54577254
My bad m8, thought you asked where he got it from when really it was how.
Below reserve, but I'll start you off a $10pp.

2012 here
I've met so many blokes from ocau and they were all quite nice. I also met with 2 or 3 women once. They were a bit crazy.
>>54574238
Judging by your verbiage, you're Australian.
That shit's going to be filled with spiders.
>>54574238
great fucking price, I'd love to get one that cheap

Impossibru.
I've been to a few meet and greets and they're all neckbearded neets, or asians. Some of them even brought their wife and kids.
>>54577071
Ayyy I got my 980 for $250 USD due to a Microcenter pricing error.
>>54574627
>Molex to SATA
Aren't those complete shit and good at causing fires?
>>54577355
I got them to send me a photo of the internals. Seems very clean including the CPU fan and heatsink. I assume the thermal paste application will be absolutely shithouse though.
>>54577543
Not lying. First time was someone buying my Harry Potter box set. Her name had kitty in it I think. She came up in a Merc. The other two were Asian geeky types. I've only had a few neckbeard neet meets. Most of them are Asians that are quite successful actually.
>>54577603
>my Harry Potter box set
No shit. That explains it.
>>54577766
If I wasn't such a beta faggot I would have asked if she wanted to talk about HP over coffee or some games.
>>54577876
She was probably a land-whale.
>>54578459
Nope, I met her and she was very pretty. Had a few tattoos though.

>>54578660
Yeah I always feel a little awkward meeting OCAUers IRL. I prefer for it to be delivered, even if it's a local sale/purchase.
That said, I've sold and bought about 10 things from the same guy, used to go to the same primary school together. He, I can meet no problem.
>>54578729
That must be nice actually. Postage is definitely easier I agree. The only regular I have is a cool German dude that's a pen tester and has a flashy house and car. I sometimes just go there to pick up so I can see how well he is doing.
The weirdest encounter for me was when a uni student bought a raspberry pi from me at home. He then got me to invite him in, get him a glass of water and pitch his start up and get me to teach him how to write in Python.
