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?

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.

sup /g/

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

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.

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.
10 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>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.

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.

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 $150?
4 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
There you are my dude, I was just looking on there and as far as I can see they don't have much for MUH PRIME DAY sales sadly. I'm in the market for a good 1440p to go with my 480 but the sales picking look slim, uguu...
>>
if you are not too picky about specific features and just want a fullHD display then check your local craiglist and you can get one for 50-100$
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)

@85hz here. It's not a placebo, I really can't play with 60 anymore.

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
