I gave away my old Dell R610 to some college students about 6 months ago so they could get into IT with something to play with.
I figured the itch was gone. But I picked up a Dell R730 w/ 128gb and 2x E5-2680V4 14core/28thread, has 4 x 960GB SSD's in it.
$1400 or so, seemed to be fairly...
Is there a set markdown for items before they go extinct on the site?
Like, if you see it at 50% its probably the first markdown, because the max markdown goes up to 70%?
Do they do markdowns on set days?
If you're in the market for some NAS or Enterprise SSD's, there's a few WD Red's in 2TB and
some WD Gold's in 2TB for about 50% of market prices floating on the site.
I picked up a monitor a few days ago for $25 (just a vga for servers) and that was a welcome addition, damn kids broke my...
Debating on what direction I want to go.
Considering 2 x HP Microserver Gen10+ units running ESXI, but it appears they are rather limited @ 64GB each.
Or, just getting my big boy pants on, and just grabbing a nice 1u unit with an Epyc 7302 or 7402 and 256GB and a
shit ton of SSD's in it...
Since I just started at a place thats a Fortinet shop, that 80E is a great way for me to learn on the fly without blowing shit up.
1/2 the price of Amazon for the hardware only, the fact you get a year of Fortiguard with it, for that, is stupid, its a better deal than the 50e.
Its for my gf's son, building a PC for him for Xmas, he's on a like 3rd gen Intel laptop I scavanged together for him.
All he does is play Roblox and surf Pornhub, so that might work.
Whatcha want for it?
If you're looking for some funds to upgrade your short term choice of a 3400G.
Let me know what you have, don't need cooler, have one off a 3700x I'll be using.
Appreciate the input on that. I kinda felt that way. I bought a board, and case for my gf's son in prep to upgrade, now I might just hold off till next generation and drop a 3600 in his system once the new chips go on sale.
I mean, I'm doing 150fps in CoDMW, and thats about all I play right...
I caught the start of the presentation, but had to skip out.
Only being a 1080 gamer, is there a reason for me to upgrade? CPU + GPU + Memory is gonna set me back $1200 or so. :-\
If you're wanting to buy cards to churn for coins. Radeon 5700 series are the best bang for the buck.
If you can find a 2070 Super close to their price, it would win on a 1:1 battle, but you can score a 5700 used for probably under $300 USD now.
