General computer talk/advice

Looks fine to me

 

Solid build. Have you considered an SSD though? That boosts the PC enormously. If your budget is really fixed at 800, then the HDD is fine of course.

 

Definitely in the near future but, probably not in the first phase of the build.

 

I wish that my Windows 10 computer could have 900 instances of the same program running at once. My old windows 7 could have 900 or even 1000 instances of the same program running at once. How can I get my windows 10 computer to run 900 or 1000+ instances of the same program at once?

 

As far as I know, you should still be able to do so. Just double click a shortcut a thousand times.

I think Corsair may need to rethink the location of the LEDs on their included case fans.

That took me almost a year to notice. Oops.

 

Sort of pissed right now, bought 2 JVC TM A101G studio CRT monitors a few days ago and they arrived today beat to shit. I'd say it about 60% seller packing them like shit and 40% the courier playing football with them... Either way one of them has a totally ruined bezel and the CRT is actually moving around inside the case, the other is actually working but its quite cracked but I managed to fix it up and it looks alright now I suppose. Did get it all refunded so I may end up getting a replacement in the same or similar model.

 

What a coincidence, I had my other AOC arrive today only to find the seller just threw the stand parts in against the screen and the metal part of the stand has gouged a few marks into the screen. The seller sent it to me in the original packing and there is a specified place in the foam for it to go, why did he put it there!? The mind boggles... Still, nice to have matching monitors.

 

Yeah i know the feeling. I have literally no luck with monitors really, I got a 1366x768 cheapo LCD a year ago for a spare and the damn thing came in an open sided box with tape over the screen, you could literally see the screen though the gaps of tape... Needless to say it was in 2000 pieces. All of them have been down to shitty packaging. My two 1080p secondary screens arrived perfectly and were packaged really well, wish more people would do that.

 

installed new mobo and CPU today. THeyre old but new to me at any rate. Colleague needed em gone and I needed something that wasnt an athlon 2. Now got a bog standard intel H67 mobo and a 2600K. Yes. K, on H. Really cannot complain at that when the amount I spent was £0.

 

I have one of those. jvc something. Mine has BNC on the back though. what does yours have? if it has bnc i would get a VGA to TV adapter. makes it so much easier to hook up to a computer.

 

Yeah mine has BNC too, I'm going to be using an old 7600gt single slot card for them as its fully analogue and has a TV output capability and it doesn't need much more power for secondary monitors. I ordered some adapters for it last night, I got a BNC to RCA cable which connects to an RCA to VGA adapter and hopefully that should work out but I had alot of trouble finding any info on it.

These two, so I'm assuming that should work.

 

I got bored. Decided to make my own luggable. Worked pretty well. Need to package it all up and add keyboard. Gonna run dos on it. i think its a 5 inch crt. Im gonna look into buying some sheet metal and making a new case. would be heavy af though.

 

So my replacement second monitor came today and amazingly this wasn't packaged like shit, which is nice. Its not exactly the same model but its pretty close, just has some cool dials instead of buttons.

Better picture

On another note I also really need to get my model M back, the O key on this keyboard is being buggy.

 

I recall working on some teacher's computer in my computer class two years ago. Wasn't the first one, wasn't the last. But this one was special. Lots of malware. Including a rootkit. I managed to manually kill and remove the rootkit manually... Honestly, I shouldn't have been able to do it, and I can barely believe that I did...

 

I have that same GPU in my MSI GE72 Apache Pro and it runs great.
Specs:
GPU-Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb DDR5
CPU-Intel Core i7-6700hq
RAM-16gb DDR4
Memory- 260gb PCI-E SSD and a 1TB HDD 7200rpm

 

The budget overclocking gods have shown down upon us and graced us with an unlocked i3. Kaby-Lake looks interesting, Zen will most certainly be interesting, 2017 will be fun.

Sooo, I'm helping my cousin build his own PC. We've decided, as he's a very light gamer in terms of requirments (literally plays only CS:GO) for a Pentium G4400, 8GB DDR4 and a GT 740, so he can possibly upgrade to something like an i5 a few years, since a current i5 will be compatible on the motherboard.

 

High frame rates are very important in CS:GO, even those beyond what the monitor can display.

You can pick up a used 750 Ti for about the same price (maybe cheaper) than a new GT 740, and the GTX 1050 (non-Ti) is only a couple bucks more, at least, in the states. That, and the aforementioned GPUs also give him the option to expand his gaming horizon even further if he so decides in the future.

 

I understand, I do (barely ever) play CS:GO and my 750ti runs it very well, but he doesn't necessarily want to run it maxed out, his 18" TV only does 1280x720. To be honest, he plays Roblox more than CS...
He's mostly a console gamer anyway...
