I still use my TI laptop. Just slap in a couple 8 GB ram sticks and the thing runs crysis like no other. You just have to be playing in ASCII.

Edit: Tried to find specs for you. This is the best I got. It looks similar to the TI TravelMate 4000E section https://books.google.com/books?id=H53CIZnYLZwC&pg=PA39&lpg=PA39&dq=ti+4000e+laptop&source=bl&ots=67fqLX-dLm&sig=J9nuPaQnRc802Ly9kh-543CWmTg&hl=en&sa=X&ei=YOs3Vcn5GZK2yASqyIBo&ved=0CFkQ6AEwCg#v=onepage&q=...

According to the Amazon description, it's packed with awesome features. >"With 8 special colorful multimedia key, make you more fast into operation page. Domineering cool design, technology lines design, make the keyboard more game."

It opened Reddit, at least. That's a bit difficult to see in the picture, but Reddit is open on it. I haven't used it much (I just got it today), but the specs are over here: http://www.raspberrypi.org/faqs (under "General")

Na thats wrong this is the laptop https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-IPS-Level-i5-8300H-GeForce-2666MHz/dp/B07L28M2CB/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=asus+tuf+504&qid=1621735151&sr=8-1 with a few upgrades over stock.

Oh shit I just realized you have a graphics card on top.

Dude, you can get a better full ATX case for $30, and probably less for the micro ATX you've likely got in there, simply by shopping on Amazon.

Edit: here's a cheap micro ATX case for dirt cheap on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005LIDU5S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Ov40BbMTG4BHX

At least invest in one of these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YJPC2A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Linux is good. For those who are uncomfortable going with a standard Linux distribution there's also Cloudready with a free version for home use. It's essentially ChromeOS, they have a list of compatible systems, and you can install it to dual-boot.

Cloudready is a good option for people who use their computers primarily for web browsing, and don't mind using web-apps for everything else.

If chntpw doesn't solve your problem (most like due to a bug in the latest version, which has been there for years or due to computer being in a domain) backup system32/sethc.exe and replace it with cmd.exe. Hit shift 5 times at the logon prompt and bam rootshell.

net user MyNewAccount password1234 /add
net localgroup Administrators MyNewAccount /add

bam new account with admin privileges

Or copy system32/config/SOFTWARE and extract the key with e.g. produkey

I have the same one. Pretty sure I bought it from FYE but it's on Amazon as well.

The solution to this would be to get a mouse-pad, maybe an extended pad would be your best choice, I got a 950x400mm mousepad for around £10 on amazon which is more than enough pad for my mouse and keyboard to sit on.

If you took a picture from the chair POV your setup would look like those badly photoshopped Amazon setups for like monitor stands for example

That looks cozy.

• Ditch the cardboard boxes.
• put your dvd's on a shelf to allow more sitting room.
• get an LED light you can hang on the wall. Something like this
• If you have to sit on the floor, get a meditation cushion.

It's this one from amazon. It's not super amazing or anything, I picked it for it's color and cost mostly, heh.

> for testing linux

If you are testing Linux, please don't use Kali. Try Debian Testing (if you like rolling), Debian Sid (if you like rolling, but to a fault) or Arch.

Git is a version control system, allowing you to create checkpoints in your code development that you can revert to if something goes wrong in a later update. I guess OP is sharing a git repository with someone.

Instead of having 3 keyboards and mice you really oughta give Synergy or QuickSynergy a shot. I use it to control my laptops when I have them sitting alongside my desktop workstation using only one keyboard and mouse.

Certainly beats fucking around with multiple several kb/m.

I found the mouse but not the keyboard: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WEVLGEW/ref=twister_B07H9NDGNL?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Start with RAM as that should be the cheapest. 16GB should do just fine. For the Graphics Amp, try looking at the second hand market, you may find a decent deal. Also, try second hand for your GPU if you're comfortable with that. It also looks like the price for the Graphics Amp isn't much higher than the United States of you go with Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00PCJXN0I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_LFmeDb7PFJ4A2

Hey, Amazon sells these little camera covers that you can slide to close or open it whenever you want. Would be better than the tape you have there, this is what I use on my MacBook

Really damn good company.

If you like reading, Jason (ones of the founders) is a member on Head-Fi and has a "book" he wrote. Really interesting and opens your eyes up to how shitty the audio community can be with all the snake oil bullshit.

Just a heads up, windows gadgets are considered to be pretty insecure to run now. If you like having info on your desktop rainmeter is the safest way to go these days (as far as I know).

Fast.com isn't reliably enough for high speeds. I doubt you get 1Gbps unless you have a 2.5Gbps network card, with a standard 1Gbps connection you will never get more than 935-940Mbps because of protocol overload, etc. Try speedtest.net.

Yeah I set up a triple-boot on my dad's MacBook with OSX/WinXP/Linux way back in the day and I remember it being a pain in the ass, but at least rEFIt (now rEFInd) made it easy to pick which OS to boot. With Windows 7 or newer and a modern Linux kernel, I suspect you could go pure GPT and not have to fuss with hybrid MBR.

Your school has nice laptops, we get shitty hp ones

it's a USB for output audio. due to the fact that audio output from my motherboard died completely and of course I'm not going to replace a whole board just for audio I had to buy it, there's a one here on Amazon if you want to see it in more detail

Yeah apparently it's this one

Oooh! Sorry! I misunderstood what you was getting at! Those two with the blue lights on them are magnetic usb cables with magnetic ends that stay in the device, that when charged you only need to disconnect the magnetic part.

You can literally buy a cooler for under $20. Why would you want to play risky games with one of the most expensive parts of three computer.

bro.... get a new monitor, you are wasting money until you do, there is literally no point in having a 2070S if your max output is 1080p @60fps. Come on now....

Edit: I read this as "3070" and it bothered me. Still get a monitor.

I think it would be better with one of this. It looks like you have enough space there and is not that expensive. Think it, you can be in r/AverageBattlestations XD.

I have this USB hub and it's compatible with mice and keyboards. I also use this laptop stand with a mouse, keyboard, and extended mousepad. It works great for me.

Hey man. It really doesn't take much. :)

Just order a pack of 8" zip ties from Amazon (about $3) and some Velcro strips for $5. Just bundling your cables together goes a LONG way.

But don't worry. If you still want to be on /r/shittybattlestations even after your cables look all nice, you can just mount your hard drives by duct taping the shit out of them to your case. A shittybattlestations masterpiece!

Oh thank god lol sorry for assuming things its https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085NLQL4S?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share honestly its a great desk I like how I can have a plant on it next to the window but it was a pain to set up

Let me help you man, Get this desk I've had it for a year and it's been very solid no wobbles despite how many times I've hit it with my chair. or better yet check out Craigslist or Facebook marketplace and you might get lucky and find something for free

Hell in my post history you can see how much crap I was able to fit on it, my only complaint was how narrow it is but you really need a desk and this will be a million times better than the chair and it only cost $50.

Like the others have said: I'm 24 and up until earlier this year I worked standing jobs from when I was 17 until now and never cheaped out on shoes and my back is destroyed from all the movement and standing, also I workout regularly and found squats and deadlifts were the cure to strengthen my back and not have it sore all the time, so please take care of your body.

Don't think you're going to find availability in the US, but here ya go.

Since you're curious about the desk, any ideas how you would manage the cables with this thing? 😅

Those Dell LCDs back then were rebranded Samsung 17 and 19 in panels. I had three of them back in the day for an "ultra wide" Windows XP desktop. ��. God I miss that machine. I think the combined resolution was 1024x3840.

Edit, this was the un-branded version SyncMaster 191T.

My brother used it without any problems

Current setup is not bad! Could clean it up a bit though. Get a cable box for the cable clutter under the desk. Also I would mount your monitors on a dual desk mount like this not to expensive and it would free up some space on your desk so it wouldn't look so crowded.

In the mean time you can point a regular fan at the keyboard and it should keep it running under light load. Something like these are pretty cheap.

Fixing Macs is not an easy task if you're unfamiliar with it. A broken fan should be an easy fix for an independent repair shop though and I think even Apple would repair it for a reasonable price.

Which is exactly why these exist. Can exhaust, or intake, or one of each. I had one in college and it was a life saver in a non air conditioned dorm room during the warmer months.

Here's a good quality one for 9 bucks

and a 5$ mouse pad

Thank you. the keyboard is a CM Storm Quickfire with brown switches and the monitor is a 1080p Dell U2414H.

That sub has potential. I'll post when I take a better picture and clean up that cluttered desk!
