Enjoy creating more work for yourself when those machines break down and you can't simply just call someone to bring a new one and take the old one away.

Downtime for a business is considerably more expensive than any of that shit.

This guys company will work that out eventually.

>>61089465

This times 1000. Uptime is everything, even if it costs you 20%.

If it's a seriously small firm, you are planning to stay there a while, and you have a store with a good selection nearby though, you may be better off DIY. My firm only has three computers and if any of them go down due to hardware failure I can have them back up in two hours, rather than next day.

>>61089502

my plan is to have an extra machine as backup

>>61089502
>Uptime is everything, even if it costs you 20%.
nope, it depends on how critical computers are for your work (if they're really critical you have spares anyway) and whether you have the capacity to fix them yourself.
I run a small business, the integrated systems which are critical for daily business are redundant and leased, but there are PCs and laptops used for doing generic office work which isn't a biggie if it gets done tomorrow or in a few days and those I build myself, install myself, repair myself (it's not like that happens regularly) and administer myself.

- that is I build them for myself and when I build me a new one the old one goes in the office.

>>61089274

It's worked for me in the past. We ended up with an extra and so far we've gone through mobo and PSU

>>61089593

Depends on how big the business is. My business just has the two workers, so two computers plus server.

If any of the computers shit the bed we literally cannot get any work done. We're better off with me running out, getting parts and fixing it rather than waiting a day. It's saved my bacon multiple times in the past 7 years

That also means if something does go wrong, it's all on you and you can't blame the vendor.

>>61089719

If it goes wrong, I can blame the shitty hardware.

But when I fix it, I can then take the credit for averting disaster.

also I get to write down "save the company 20%" everywhere.

>I also fix them when they break down
You have to buy more parts, which is more expensive in the long run and steals time from what you're supposed to do, which is being sysadmin.

Also, anyone can hire a 14 year old to come in and assemble a computer and install some software. Your solution is going to backfire massively. You'll assemble the computer, the boss is going to realise his 14 old nephew can do the same for free whenever needed, and you'll get fired.

>>61089737
>If it goes wrong, I can blame the shitty hardware.
You put them together, your boss will blame you.

>But when I fix it, I can then take the credit for averting disaster.
You will do more work for the same wage.

they can sure. but they are not going to.

k i hope the 14 yo nephew can standby during office hours and can do sysadmin and networking stuff

>You put them together, your boss will blame you.

A friend does that sometimes. He got two capture cards he uses at work (one for free) and kept it. Then they have a lot of intel sticks to hook up on TVs and use some software so he got two for free, and then they bought some new models and swapped them.

Just be sure they are tech illiterates. Don't buy that fucking exagerated hardware if they don't need it, just the CPU maybe and swap it with yours, they won't notice. If you include just one 1080 for no reason they will notice.
I'm sure these guys will just use iGPU.

Did you not read my post, anon? I clearly outlined the risk of going through with it and getting caught, and if you honestly think the reward (a consumer-level GPU) is worth the potential consequences, then by all means go through with it.

I don't give a fuck about the moral implications, why even bother? Half the shit in your house was probably made in a sweat shop, nearly everything you own involved exploiting someone at some point in its production. I'm just saying it's a stupid idea. The potential cons far outweigh the potential pros. Someone is liable to notice and then you're fucked. Steal from corporate overlords whenever you can, but don't shoot yourself in the foot.

I don't believe in hell, so no, my post didn't imply any of that. Reading this thread makes it clear that appealing to your sense of moral and/or decency is futile, therefore I wanted to appeal to your risk assessment skills... But it's clear that yours are quite poor.

>>61089274
you could probably buy an i7 and swap it for an i3 purchased out of your own money. No one is going to connect the dots, but if you spend $700 on a gaming gpu, someone is going to fucking notice this really expensive piece of hardware and ask why you only bought 1.

Also, sauce on loli pls

You are an idiot IT person OP.
Buy the best you can, and enjoy your downtime.
I am IT Director for a medium sized business with about $75M in annual sales.
We are primarily a UNIX shop, I only buy IBM P-Series Servers, I only buy Thinkpad T Series laptops, with docks to be used at desks.
Things rarely ever have issues. When they do, I call IBM support. I would never trade my relaxing cushy job for a $500 video card. You are a moron.

Yes, I have been here 15 years. We have just decommissioned the last of the T420's.
The vast majority are now on T450s, We found that by buying these instead of desktops, people tend to take their work home with them at night.
We use a legacy application, that runs in a 3151 emulator and everybody can just SSH in from anywhere.

Jealous, I'd take every amount of them possible home.

Personally though. I use a Razer Blade 14 (2016) with internal 1060, and have a core at my desk with a 1080 in it.
But I paid for that with my own money, because I am white.

I wish my company would buy decent hardware too. Laptops or any kind of remote work is impossible here, but maybe I'd get less complaints about shitty glosssy displays.
At least support contracts are excellent, which makes my branch office sysadmin position really easy.
Between my current paycheck (it's actually shit tbqh but I had zero sysadmin experience and still got hired without connections) and support contract that lets me do nothing but forward tickets and watch anime all day every day; and OPs scenario that implies same paycheck, some bonus once, opportunity to steal one fucking piece of hardware I don't need, and a shitload of work fixing all the hardware forever, I'd never even consider the latter.
