it's not worth it.

I have a 4 year warranty on this machine, 3 of which are remaining. If I modify any parts, the warranty is void. Also, it is very difficult as the mobo and PSU are propriety.

I really want to sell this computer. I don't need all this power, and the graphics card it going to waste, as I never play any games. A Celeron w/ 9600XT is good enough for me. Actually, If I can sell this computer for a good price, I might go buy a 2405fpw and a mac mini.

In any case (no pun intended), the dell doesn't look so bad. I am used to the subtle grey on black theme, as I own 4 current dell computers.

thats a pretty beefy system you got there, your in canda, and im guessing you want the top of the line mac mini which is about 1000$ right? and could maybe get liek 1900-2000 for that comp

@Sunday X. I know but I need to room to upgrade. I have loads of work to do on it and no money so it's slowly being upgraded. Mobo isn't priority though. First I want the internet, guild wars, new PSU, new mouse n keyboard and then a new monitor for bday n xmas.

Once all that's out the way I can start doing more unnecessary stuff, and by then I'll probably need more HDD space as well.

yeah but looks like you got a small atx board on a full size case. your upgrades dont even require space in your case. 4 5" slots, 6 rear slots, i dont know man, its just looks real weird.

I don't really need a top-of-the line anything . I just want something that can handle e-mail, word processor, music, movies and stuff. I don't care if it doesn't have games; thats what the xbox is for.

1900? for my computer? :blink: you gotta be kidding? Its almost brand-new and it's near top of the line. I was expecting at least 3000.

I just checked the price at dell.ca Right now, this computer computer costs $3458

I have had this computer for less than 2 months, and I know that computers depreciate 30% each year.

heres the math:

30 div 12 = 2.5

2.5 * 2 = 5

3458 * 1.15 = 3977

3977 * 0.95 = 3797

even after 2 months of depreciation, this machine is worth $3797 Canadian.

IK 47, I'm just curious why you bought a Dell PC and a Intel 64bit CPU opposed to a self build and an AMD Athlon 64?

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).
    • I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
