I ordered a killswitch but I really like the case that came with my 512GB so I use that and a Deckmate, the injection molded one is very nice and holds 2 SD cards and a receptacle for things. A couple of things are available to interface with...

Valheim works fine and you can spawn items into the game via console commands in singleplayer to make it easier then carry it into multiplayer servers on your own local server. We run one on our plex and crap box that is not listed in the browser...

You made me remind of the time this came in my shop back in 2011: I seen some shit that I didn't take pictures of, never thought of taking pictures of it either. But I don't doubt people doing dumb crap like this either.

Nice rack LoL and free is good!

Dude had both of the keys even.

Free racks are good. (y)

Puget systems is pretty good. I've also been a fan of the intel nuc extremes which are basically prebuilts.

Rather than build computers for people these days I just send them links to Puget Systems and System76 depending on their linux proficiency and affinity for woodgrain desktops. There are so many pins to unbend nowadays I just don't want to do it...

A couple of years ago I bought a system from Puget Systems (Threadripper 3960) because they carry a strong reputation in the workstation / video rendering community. They design systems around off the shelf parts, so no specialized OEM...

Yes I still hate "Worst Buy" for that I have not stepped foot in any of their stores since then (2006)! I remember my Mom needed an AC and they were the only place that had them then (Hot time of the year) I told her to go in and get it and have...

Those were some sort of an oxymoron a non-standard standard known as "LPX" if it what I'm thinking of a board with a riser board in the middle where the PCI/ISA cards were mounted on? The few ones that were new enough for AGP had that on the...

A few that stand out - 1. PB sent me a monitor for a customer. I saw the problem the minute I walked in the room. He had it upside down and was using the base as a Lazy Susan. I called PB and they told me to replace it anyway. I did. 2...

As someone who worked in a high volume service center, I've not only heard complaints about every brand out there, but I've had to fix them all. Including plenty that aren't around anymore. They all cut corners or did things that didn't make sense.

Might be hard to find these days but this one is never obsolete:

Depends on the use-case. IMO for a gaming PC all prebuilts suck.

Agreed, you would have to sell "for parts/not working" if SATA ports don't appear to work.

in the bios somewhere, enable legacy or csm, its sometime labeled different between brands. rtfm if you have to... yes, if i saw a "for sale, cant get sata ports working" id pass in an instant.

^^ and make sure the ports are enabled.

If they are MBR they need to have CSM enabled. If they are UEFI you need to disable it. Make sure the bios is up to date as well.
