Why haven't you taken the IBM pill? >IBM System X with

>>59098201
Many of my computers have IBM (well actually most are Motorola but still, AIM alliance and all) processors

will take into consideration with my upcoming purchase, thanks Anonymous =)

I have an extremely underpowered and slow laptop with an AMD E240 processor. should I buy a used IBM T60 with a T2400 to replace it?

>>59099102
If 32bit doesn't bother you absolutely. If you want something more future proof, get one and pop a T7200 in, they're supported in the T60

Just get a cheap $300 HP laptop with an i5 skylake you idiots

>>59099360
>cheap $300 HP laptop
ok
show me a $300 HP laptop with i5 cpu and IPS display thats bigger resolution than 1366x768

>>59099391
Yeah if you aren't spending at least 500 you aren't getting close

>>59099410
ok
then show me a laptop with any processor or component for under $300 with an IPS display and at least 1920x1080 resolution
I'm waiting

I use a Libreboot'd IBM X60 with Void on it. Pretty comfy. It's been running a bit hot though, so I'm gonna reapply thermal paste, and then it went through it's second battery now so I'm gonna order a new 9-cell.

So looks like HP doesn't really offer this but with the business discount from /tpg/ you can easily get a Lenovo computer for this price.

Also easily done with a Chromebook because you are probably using Linux anyways.

You have 3 choices
1 Extremely old workstation
2 Modern, but it's a low profile desktop
3 Consumer grade shit
No thanks m8. Refurbished business laptops is where it's at.

Because they sold everything to some incompetent chinks. Fuck this.

>>59098201
My first PC was an IBM 486. It was good while it lasted. It's been all Dell since then.

>>59098201
/g/ mindlessly jerking off to them makes me feel ashamed to collect their hardware, you can't even have a real discussion because most of them have no real interest or passion for the tech, they just buy it for the name, meme cred and the "a e s t h e t i c s" and use them as MacBook-esque facebook machine/lifestyle devices

but yes I have lots of their hardware, I really want to get my hands on a good P4+-era pedestal SysX to use for mainframe emulation

>>59098201
I've had two System X and failed to find any graphics card at all that would be compatible. Maybe latest models comes with support but past versions did not.
Even if you did get a card in them, you got to tuck away these beasts in a padded server room anyway because they are loud. The roar at boot is pretty cool though.

If you wanted a real machine get Zbook

i'm a fan of HP's Z systems as well, really any of the big workstation vendors all make nice products

>not using server hardware for a desktop
Why pay $500 for modern consumer shit when you can much better for $150? Thank God for IBM

What's the $150 System x you're talking about?

>>59103497
>using shitty server hardware for something it was never made to do when you can buy a workstation that's actually adequately equipped for the use case and doesn't make you look like a tryhard who has no idea what he's doing but just wants to look cool

>>59098201
Where can I get the System X with GPU for $150?

>tfw work for IBM
dude I took the IBM pill so hard I turned big blue

>>59098201

Didn't have a 240V mains at our warehouse to fire it up, tfw free ECC PC3L-10600 16GB RAM.
Kinda want to ask the boss if I can take a xeon workstation I've built and System X 3690 server for lolz.

Any machines run on 480V?

>>59101064
And you use them for?

>>59106852
I use them as computers. I like them, but I don't worship them, or make retarded shill threads about them, or mention them in every dimly related opportunity.

But I take some of that post back, I'd be deluded to say that I don't also think they look nice and enjoy that quality of them, but I'm certainly not going to try and start a circlejerk wherever I go like some kind of post-ironic mactard.

>>59099102
Go at least Core 2. Core 1 is shit (bad SSSE2 performance, no SSSE3, no 64bit).
