Re: [MBZ] OT - built a PC from scratch recently?

I had a Mac Pro 1,1 that was hacked to run the most current OSX version along with dumping upgraded processors (5365 SLAEGs) and lots of memory. It continued to be a powerful machine up until the time I sold it last year. It really cranked on rendering. Now I have a 3,1 with an Apple RAID

This is the card that's giving me fits: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-mHDMI-Graphics-01G-P3-2631-KR/dp/B0085MPDJ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8=1462549807=8-2=evga+geforce+gt+630 It was $63.74 when I bought it in Jan. 2014. They want $216.59 now! So, yes, it's PCI-e 2.0. I'd love an old card from the

Re: [MBZ] OT - built a PC from scratch recently?

Before you get fully to the new build point, take a air canister and a horse hair / toothbrush to the DIMM sockets, make sure there is no dust on the connectors? About once every six months to a year, I have to disassemble my systems and fully clean them. (My dogs bring in *a lot* of dirt, am

I bought one from Xi computer. Put a water cooling rig in it when I added a tesla gpu, rigged it in series. No neon, but somehow the green antifreeze in the tigon tunes lights up and looks pretty flashy through the clear side panel. I agree it will be cutting edge for maybe six months, but a

Hire yourself a wet behind the ears kid to build up a fresh PC. My #1 boy invested far too much in his rig but it was all cutting edge, for about 23 seconds. He used Corsair for the support bits and ASUS Logic board and GPU. Core i7, 32 Gb ram, SSD boot and RAID ... bunch of numbers for the

Just go to newegg and sign up for daily specials, they offer components for cheepcheep pretty often. you can get a new mother board and chip to pop in the box, you might be able to reuse your memory sticks and everything else just pretty much plugs into it. You might need a new power supply

My 8 year old HP is now spontaeously turning it's self off. Diagnostics said that the memory failed the test, so I bought new Kingston DIMMs and installed them. It's still doing the same thing, so I'm thinking the mother board has a bad chip or something. I'm thinking I'd rather build a new one
