    Want to Buy Looking for laptop $500 range

    Thanks for everyone's reply. I think. Chromebook may be out of the question. While she doesn't do much with it I know she uses Books (online accounting) and QuickTime or whatever their app is called now to listen to and buy music. I realize 17" is unrealistic but thought I'd throw it out there...

    Want to Buy Looking for laptop $500 range

    Looking for a friend who basically has no budget and anything new in that range is severely lacking in the cpu and hd department. I'm hoping someone has an older i5 with an SSD (or even nvme) that they are willing to part with. Onboard graphics are fine, Win 10 pro and 8gb of ram is preferable...

    Looking for cheap 10" tablet

    One is portrait and one is landscape but either way I'm thinking they may be unwieldy. In a way that could be a good thing so that limits my requirements to a 10" tablet for watching movies and I may get by with just Android 7. Now if I can find some software to emulate surround sound that isn't...

    Looking for cheap 10" tablet

    Thanks for the replies. My problem is that I know zero about tablets..except the OS. Only reason I don't want Android 7 is that its old and will probably be an issue at some point when trying to play games or whatever. I've looked at the Fire tablets and they'd probably do what I'd want but...

    Looking for cheap 10" tablet

    I've been looking for an inexpensive 10" tablet just for watching movies and playing Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and Raid Shadow Legends...neither of which are demanding games I don't think. I just got an offer from Fido for a Huawei MediaPad T5 but was disappointed in the specs. It was Android...

    10" tablet under $200

    I'm just looking for a tablet to play my Final Fantasy Brave Exvious, maybe install Chromecast/Smartcast for my Vizio TV for YouTube and maybe stream some audio file to my home theater. Hoping for something with 2gb ram and 32-64gb of storage and a 10" screen to get the most out of my game...

    who here bought a smartphone for it's audio?

    I went with the V20 (before the V30 was out) specifically for the quad dac plus analogue headphone jack (obviously) plus has a removable battery (the last of it's kind sadly). Aside from the non-existent updates, literally just got Oreo a couple weeks ago (although it really increased...

    Could really use some help with a new build

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. As I'm putting this together for a friend who has no idea about hardware and stuff I just want something prebuilt with Windows installed and everything configured properly so it's plug and play when it's delivered. Which is why I sadly need to buy Windows...

    Could really use some help with a new build

    Looks like the timeline has been moved forward drastically. Essentially I need everything picked out by tomorrow from a place that does the build on-site (I think memory Express or Canada computers with Canada Computers being preferable as she pick up the computer from the Kennedy location) you...

    Could really use some help with a new build

    Sorry for the late response, I had to go to Toronto for a few days. Actually I'm not set on either AMD or Intel. I just figured I'd get more bang for your buck with AMD. Since I'm more concerned with stability I think I'll stick to 6 sata ports instead of 8. I know she has a lot of smaller...

    Could really use some help with a new build

    So I've been out of the loop for a few years and my how things have changed. I'm doing this for a friend so any and all advice is appreciated. Max limit for the computer is $1800 including taxes and assembly. Will hopefully keep the old Corair PSU if possible. Not sure if it's got all the...

    Need software raid recommendations please

    From my research it looks like the drive can be pulled from the Seagate Expansion 8tb which is huge. I can get the drive on Amazon for $200 instead of the $300-$400 for an internal drive of the same size everywhere else. Not sure how well they will hold up in a NAS environment but I'm just using...

    Need software raid recommendations please

    I used to pull drives out of externals all the time myself but in the last year or two (maybe more) I've found that they don't actually have a usb connection but is connected to a mainboard which has the usb connection (mostly WD drives). I don't know if that's on all drives now but it's been...

    Need software raid recommendations please

    Thanks, I thought there were software raid solutions (unraid, freenas etc) which allowed for different sized drives but I guess that doesn't include parity. Only reason I was thinking of doing it this way was to have some kind of backup in case a drive failed. I do have a decent 5 bay NAS but...

    Need software raid recommendations please

    So I have 2 8tb Seagate Expansion external drives and a 3tb ext as well. I was hoping there was an easy way to create a raid with parity as I know some software can achieve even with different sized drives, I'm just not sure which ones to consider. It will be running on an older laptop but has...

    Dual cpu build

    I ended up using an old cooler that I had. The issue I'm having is that the system is hanging during post. It's not recognizing the ssd I believe. It shows all the sata ports but it says nothing is connected to it. Oddly enough I can't even get into the bis while the ssd is connected. So I have...

    Dual cpu build

    I think the biggest problem I'm going to have is the cpu cooler. I'd rather not try and remove the back plates as they look to be on pretty good. I compared the current t cpu cooler as the screws are way bigger than what the board supports. I'll have to purchase at Canada Computers on Kennedy...

    Dual cpu build

    Cool, thanks. Looks like I just need the heatsinks and the 4 pin to 8 pin adapter. Hopefully it's as straightforward as that :) I'll be working on it today so if I have anymore questions I'll post it here. Thanks again for your advice

    Dual cpu build

    I was able to get the motherboard model. It's a Supermicro X8DTL. I'll do some reading on it but I sure hope it's an ATX board. I'll be in Toronto for like a day and need to get this setup in a few hours haha. So if anyone has any of the parts I will need please let me know as I'd like to get...

    Dual cpu build

    Hi guys, A friend just bought an older Supermicro 2p board as seen here Intel LGA1366 quad core xeon i7 processor (pair), motherboard | system components | City of Toronto | Kijiji and I need advice on what heatsinks are needed as he didn't give her any plus anything else she will need. The...
