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?

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
