I have pic related, an MSI laptop, that I'm not using any more. Any tips for selling latops on craigslist/ ebay and such? Should I do anything special to the hard drive? Or a would a simple format / reinstall windows suffice?

Also is gadgetvalue .com any good? They said my laptop is worth $675, I'm assuming that is what a pawn shop or other retailer would charge if they bought it used, so I'm thinking asking $450 isn't unreasonable.

I have a 3TB drive dedicated for storage and some programs. I also have the default shortcut for downloads associated with that drive.

Problem is that my downloads folder will delete itself and leave a file called msdownld.tmp at the root of the drive.I havent noticed a trigger for this sort of behavior, and it seems to ignore any programs using files off this folder.

Any ideas? I'm considering formatting back to win7 (this is Win10 btw)

Any help is appreciated.

You can put it pretty much anywhere but I wouldn't just set it on top of an HDD, good to have airflow over them and it might resonate due to vibration.

Not exactly /g/ but I expect some of you would be able to help me or at least point me in the right direction: I'm myopic and my optometrist says lenses need to be 0.5 diopters shorter than the eyes' curvature (so if my eyesight is -3 diopters, I would need -2.5 lenses). I've never questioned it before but I recently realized I'm not as satisfied with new lenses as I want to be, and I still can't see really faraway things my non-myopic friends see just fine. Am I being rused or does this match everyone else's experience with vision glasses?

My laptop's line-out is just the regular headphones jack. But my 3-set speakers' amplifier has two line-ins (RCA, red/white).

Do I really need to buy a "Y" cable just to get proper stereo? Why can't I use a regular "I" cable in say the left line-in. The amplifier is basically the uni-tasker for such purposes and it can't even handle having the "Y" feature within, say, the left line-in, whenever the right line-in isn't being used???

The system has locked the folder for use,you wont be able to delete it as the system is going to use that folder for a background process

I'm in the market for a new PC for graphic design and possibly gaming, and I need help choosing a monitor setup. I heard multiple monitors or high-res monitors are life changing for design work, but I'm a huge faggot and I want a minimal aesthetic in my setup so I'm not so keen on multiple monitors, and getting a high-res one would both be expensive and increase the cost of the PC over what my budget allows because I'd want games to run in native resolution. On the other hand Windows font rendering is abysmal and I'd want a high PPI screen to circumvent that issue. Is there a solution to my problem other than killing myself? I'm currently eyeing a single Dell S2340L.
