post your component list; rate other anons'; ask questions in general.

>Assemble your parts list with price comparisons & compatibility filter.
https://pcpartpicker.com/

THEN state the PURPOSE of your PC & BUDGET. State COUNTRY if not USA.
List GAMES/SOFTWARE you use often. List resolution & hz if gaming.
Seeking build improvements? Clarify goal: lower price or improved specs?
ctrl+f to see if your question was answered already

>How to assemble a PC, select components & more. (somewhat outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php/Build_a_PC

CPUs:
>G4560 - budget builds (<$500) unless G4600/G4620/i3-7100 is heavily discounted
>R5 1500x - generally all you need for 60fps with power to spare. No i5
>R5 1600 - best value for higher fps gaming & mixed usage; 1600x if you too lazy to OC
>R7/Xeon/Threadripper/ - compute/Multitask/mixed use

Graphics:
>G4560 iGPU is fine for desktop stuff and very light game
>1050Ti for low budget. Drop settings if not Freesync/Gsync on newer games; RX560 if discounted <$90
>RX570 4GB - 1080p@60+hz, running most maxed; older games at 144+hz
>RX580 8GB - 1440p@60+hz, inject SMAA & drop settings
>1060 - Generally outperformed by the RX 580 and GSync costs more; consider if AMD is not an option (ie CUDA/miners buying all RX400/500s)
>1070 - if on sale/can't afford 1080
>1080 - 1080p@100-144+hz maxed; 1440p at lower hz.
>1080Ti - 1440p@90-144+hz; 4k@60hz in SOME games, more at lower settings

General:
>READ PRODUCT REVIEWS to see if that cheap SSD/PSU or whatever is reliable
>Consider larger SSD-only for what you budget SSD+HDD combined. Add HDD later once needed
>NVMe aren't for faster OS boot. They're primarily for productivity/scratch disk/VMs
>Stop confusing any M.2 drive with NVMe. M.2 is a form factor
>mATX board + case is often cheaper
>1 SR DIMM is slower than 2 DIMMs

What was the moment like when you realized that you were retarded, /g/? For me, it was cracking open this book. I felt pretty proud of myself for getting past all the math for my CS degree, but this book has crushed any ounce of pride I had...

Hey /g/ look at this
<-

It's a pilot run keyboard / prototype of the think/travel keyboard with ultranav made back in 2003. It's in pristine condition and works flawlessly. Comes in a leather bag I can post in a bit.

What do you think it's worth? I dont want to sell it just wondering.

Discuss and share analog technology [here defined as electronic or other fine machinery which uses continuous physical quantities such as voltage or pressure to control its behavior rather than discrete digital instructions.] in this thread!

In our age of digital everything, the Internet of Things and the "always-onlinification" of every day items, sometimes it is comforting to appreciate having items like clocks, electric organs, thermometers, vinyl records, and metronomes.

I'm looking for the smallest (footprint) headless PC to host my personal website (which gets ~0 hits per day) and run a Deluge daemon (for torrents to my NAS).

MINIX NEO Z83-4 looks like the kind of thing I had in mind; is there any reason why I shouldn't get this? Any other suggestions?

I was thinking about hosting a webserver on a Raspberry pi zero w.

I plan on using said server to store some images and a mysql database to use for some android apps

Would it work or would the Raspberry crap itself?

I have a problem with my pc (win 10). I have two screens and sometimes the screens die and one goes completely white and the other completely blue until I restart the computer.

I thought the problem was my graphics card, but I checked the drivers 100 times and even had it stress tested on another machine yet there it works fine. Obviously checked for viruses and malware. Any ideas what the problem might be? I know this isn't /techsupport/ but I'm fucking clueless.
