Best budget mid tower?

Looking at the Fractal Design Define S also.

imo any piece of shit with a few fans will do, just make sure all your parts will fit. for example:

looks like shit, but comes with three fans for $30

are iPads/tablets ultimately a meme or can they make a comeback? if android hadn't knocked the bottom out of the tablet market with cheap garbage would they still be viable as laptop replacements?
pic unrelated

Tablets suffer from the same problem as netbooks. Turns out nobody wants a shitty computer that can't do anything useful.
I don't like and never liked tablets (although I have one). But i do like the 2 in 1 laptops like the 360 bendable lenovo yoga or the detachable screen on surface pro.
So i don't think tablets will die, but will continue with variations
Standalone tablets and 2 in 1 laptops are a meme. Soon everyone will attach their phone into a tablet or laptop shell to get a bigger screen.

picked up several Panasonic Toughbook CF-50 laptops
what OS should I put on them? Was going to try RemixOS but USB booting isn't an option here and it won't work off a CD.
joli-os is discontinued
I don't care about linux unless I'm using an aircrack / slitaz distro to crack wifi
I'm gonna try chromeOS because why the fuck now, wish me luck boyos

Guise help. I'm about to kill myself. I just installed arch and have before successfully but with a display manager. Now I'm trying to do it without one but startx won't run on root or user. Help?
>>55545873
The wiki will help
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xinitrc
it won't run as root, first of all.
cat /usr/bin/X, find out what the script is trying to execute on line 2, and then fix it from there.
>>55546179
yeah it will
he's probably just missing drivers
Last 30 minutes of Prime Day /g/. What did you get? Anyone still picking up some last-minute deals? Those DUDE wipes look pretty good.
>>55545811
what are you talking about. it ends at midnight pst.
Picked up my 3rd firetv. These things are pretty money. Netflix, Amazon video, and kodi all one one box.
Absolutely nothing, same as last year.
The most compelling offer they had was a multipack of Kleenex.

Wanting to buy a new monitor and I can afford a 29 inch Ultrawide monitor. Is it worth it? I'll have a second 24 inch monitor beside it.
>>55545793
I have a similar monitor. Personally I am really happy with
Thoughts:
Never put windows full screen. Use the snap feature to snap to one half of the screen. Otherwise the windows are just too wide
If you game, you'll need to upgrade your GPU or reduce your settings
A monitor beside it probably won't work because it is so wide. I'd get a VESA mount on an arm for the small monitor and put it above the wide one.
If you need one get it, otherwise don't.
If you use a second monitor, I'd use it vertically or mount it above like >>55545861
said
>>55545861
I'm upgrading from a 970 to a 980ti as well (getting a new mouse and mousemat included for basically free) and that should power through most, if not all, games out for at least the next year.
As for the second monitor, I use it mostly for my PS4 so having it above might prove annoying in the long run. I'll try out the side-by-side configuration and see if it's fine before buying a mount.
>>55545898
What do you mean by that? I don't need it, but the only people who really do are video editors.

hahaha back to cuckshed, baby wincuck
Boot into gparted or some other live Linux environment and run grub-install on the drive or chmod in and run grub-update. It isn't hard. Dunno how different LiLo is but given you're having a hard time with this, I doubt you're using something other than grub.
Hello anons,
best way to learn app development on iOS and android?
>>55545722
by making an app
>>55545722
Move to the bay area, go to meetups. It's the only way if you're actually serious about making something meaningful.
>>55545722
Install xcode. Write something in swift.
Getting a phone from ebay, what's the /g/entleman's opinion on it?
>>55545542
stop being poor and stupid
>>55545542
Donuts don't make particularly good phones.
>>55545589
I just don't see why I should spend 100 more for it from Google when I can get it from ebay and have a warranty integrated into the price

Hey /g/ building my first computer and I have everything but a monitor, waited until Amazon prime day so I could save a few dollars, what's the best monitor for my money if I have a budget of $150?
There you are my dude, I was just looking on there and as far as I can see they don't have much for MUH PRIME DAY sales sadly. I'm in the market for a good 1440p to go with my 480 but the sales picking look slim, uguu...
if you are not too picky about specific features and just want a fullHD display then check your local craiglist and you can get one for 50-100$
people are upgrading to 4k and whatnot and getting rid of perfectly good monitors for cheap
No such luck on Craigslist, I live in a small area so I mostly just see the same niggers posting their motorola surfboard modem, wireless keyboard, and 750ti every other day.
I am HIGHLY considering pulling the trigger on this lovely screen. Cousin has one and it is incredible, but I'm not sure if it would be the best thing for a gaymenfag such as myself. I'm just gonna be using a Nitro 480 when I get one but I don't want to have to buy another screen for like another 10 years either.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FGCJBGK/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_cqtFxb1F9JJKV
I've decided on 1440p based on several 480 benchmarks, knowing the Nitro will have more FPS, and as a first-time system builder I'm not gonna miss a few fps if I choose 1440 over 1080, I'll just turn some shit down to med/high if it triggers my autism that much.
I'm quite new to /g/ because I've only started coming since I was building my new PC from the ground up, and I was looking for advice. I already ordered most of my parts (gtx 1080, i7 6700k, Z170 pro etc) but I still haven't decided on a case.
I've heard that the R4 and R5 are the only acceptible ones, but is that just a meme? I had my eye on the CM HAF X but that's like 6 years old.
Does anyone have any recommendations? My budget is £150 ($200) and I'm looking for a full tower I think. Thanks

£150 buys you most high-end mid size cases and quite a few nice non-watercooling optimised full towers, quit being a faggot and pick out a case you think looks good that has the features you want (i.e., cooling, noise performance, ease of cable management, separate ssd mounting areas, etc)
Is overclocking your monitor to 72Hz a meme?
>>55545214
nah
Shit compared to 144hz though
>>55545214
Define meme.
@85hz here. It's not a placebo, I really can't play with 60 anymore.
I'm going for a 144hz BTW.
How does /g/ clean their monitors?
I've always used some rubbing alcohol + a microfiber/linen cloth, but I've recently heard that this can potentially damage some anti-reflexive coatings manufacturers put on in the factory.
Can anyone confirm or deny this? How autistic is /g/ when it comes to cleaning?
>>55545193
Use only water
Rubbing alcohol could ruin the coating, but I know windex will destroy the anti glare coating
>>55545227
Thanks for the heads up
I use isopropyl and a microfiber. Have done for years with my Dells and no noticeable degradation of the anti glare coating
