Just got a new Dell desktop for home. Inspiron Desktop (Intel) | Dell United States
Seems to have plenty of power, but the Windows 10 OS takes a bit of getting used to. Beautiful graphics on a 21" monitor. Office home edition chucked in also for total package less than 38,000 Baht. Vertical CD/DVD tray makes a lot of racket though, dunno if that's normal? Three year warranty, so hopefully shouldn't be an issue.

Will delay buying until the new AMD Vega graphic cards are released end of July.
AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8 Cores, $500
Dell S2417DG 24 around $800
Or Iiyama GB2760QSU-B1 27" soon to be released (domestic Japanese model also 2k display like the Dell) but probably around $200 cheaper.
GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD
or iChill GeForce GTX 1070 X3 Edition $700
^ Cancel that.. waiting for Vega... should be more powerful than the 1070 and cheaper.. will pair well with a free sync monitor..

It doesn't have to be a RGB light show.. you can control the color theme (vibrancy levels) directly from the desktop, or switches on the back...
Don't turn off too much telemetry or you'll bugger up Windows Update.Quote:

Okay, for the money what should I have bought?
Disclaimer: I did look through this thread before I purchased, but it seems to be full of pissing contests, insults and faux geek-speak. Quelle surprise.
Lenovo laptop's the way to go these days.
are you going to play games like a teenager like Harry
or do some serious wanking with it ?
that's the only question you need to ask yourself,
MacBooks for years now. Completely hassle free. Always works. Never even had antivirus. Trackpad is awesome. Fast as hell. SSD. Features galore. Rarely need to download anything for it. "Pages", their Microsoft word equivalent, costs $19 dollars from the App Store. $19 dollars and does everything word does, even exports to Word docs. Get their suite for pocket change compared to hundreds of dollars for legit copies of Microsoft's suite.
Cant go wrong. Only downfall is the price but its worth it IMO.
Not really the best if one is a gamer & needs a dedicated game machine, but can game also with Parallels.
If you think OSX is secure, you're *almost* a bigger idiot than buttplug.Quote:

just understand that it is not really an upgradable machine - when you look at the photo of the back of it you can see that the power supply looks quite small , so you are unlikely to be able to add much in the way of discrete graphics power - though you could add a real power supply later as there is the spaceQuote:
From basic computing needs to digital library and multi-media entertainment center, the new Inspiron Desktop offers powerful and reliable performance, perfect for the living room or home office.
Built-in connectivity: Stay connected with the latest integrated WiFi and Bluetooth technology.
Immersive audio: Enjoy 5.1 channel sound professionally tuned by Waves MaxxAudio® Pro for a truly immersive entertainment experience.
Enhanced entertainment: Easily connect to tablets, TVs or large displays for video streaming or casual gaming with convenient access to VGA, HDMI out and 6 USB ports.
^Thanks again baldrick for some tangible help. Green owed.
Just need the machine for home internet, music, occasional work, etc.
Never said it was secure, even though it is, actually, pretty secure. Its just that most of the computer viruses are built for Windows. They have a few out there for OS X, but generally speaking, OS X is a hell of a lot more secure than a PC. And most of the viruses are Trojans & require someone to be dumb enough to actually install them (email phishing).Quote:

Agree with Slick... (about Mac being a more streamlined, smooth experience)... only weakness being lacking in graphics power for gaming..
That is all set to change...
iMac Pro, the most powerful Mac ever, arrives this December
Featuring up to 18-Core Processors, 22 Teraflops of GPU Performance, Fast Storage and Advanced I/O

** If I could wait, I would buy it... just a bit too long for me to be without a desktop PC... this will play any game on the market, smooth as silk and negate the need to buy a Windows gaming PC...
yes intended mainly for wifi or mobile broadband cards.Quote:

and a Samsung 500GB M.2 SSD 960 Evo NVMe which I will use as boot drive for Windows + a couple of linux distros.
The 1TB mechanical SATA harddrive will be replaced by a WD 1TB SSD SATA from the old dying laptop.
8GB RAM ought to be enough or what do you think Butterfly? :bananaman:
I assume you will be wanking over YouPorn HD with that much RAM :pQuote:

I can expand to 2x8GB or 2x16GB whenever I want.
Windows loves RAM and it's an easy win. Put in as much as you can, it's cheap as chips.
Anyone buying a gaming rig (Windows) should hold off until AMD Vega is released end of next month... it's a great time to be in the market for a PC...
Anyone have a Ryzen PC yet? Intel is getting a run for their money (finally) by AMD... they've been so far ahead - but that's all changed now Ryzen is the new King... (or at least, bang for buck champ)... :1st:

First I gotta see how it performs on 8GB and more important how the 8GB is configured, they don't mention it but I guess 2x4GB.Quote:

I'm not into gaming, just need a powerful laptop with big display (or a powerful laptop with normal display + a lasic surgery).Quote:

Of course you can, you fucking retard.Quote:

the 960 is an M2280 meaning it is 80mm long - check what size you can fit - there are 60mm and 40mm and you can get adapters to make the SSD longer , but not shorter ( though maybe some have for longer to shorter now for desktop mobos )Quote:

I did take some photos of the process which I meant to post online as there was not much in the way of pics out there
I think butters uses an 80KG RAM as an anal tamponQuote:

Did you get a Blue Peter badge for that? You should have.
no, for that one you only needed 128MB of RAMQuote:

but for small dick wankers like you, it was probably 512Mb RAM :rofl:
Windows love wankers with small dicks that requires a lot of RAM to compensate for their incompetence in optimizing Windows,
I can run WinXP on 1GB RAM, no problem
even wanking on YouPorn HD with that much
and I have a big massive cock !!! :)
You *are* a massive cock, and your Windows XP probably has nearly as many diseases as you do.
:rofl:
i can run Linux on 500gb.Quote:
