  1. AM5-based ASRock DeskMini is out!

    Like I wrote above, I was in the same exact situation, but I went for the upgrade. So far I can tell you I am not that impressed. Yes, more CPU power, faster memory (running 5600 CL40), 2.5G network, smaller PS brick, BUT - the graphics performance I was looking forward to is not there yet, I...
  2. Walmart - online only - Solar charging USB battery pack with LED lights and compass on back $17

    This one is 20000mAh, there is a 38800mAh unit under "similar units" for $15.79, albeit without the compass. I have that one, bought from Amazon. The solar charge,. although it seems to work, is practically worthless ( I mean how much can it produce - 1W tops? - after keeping it under a lamp for...
  3. AM5-based ASRock DeskMini is out!

    Worth noting there is a $10 generic MIR and another $20 MIR for a review. Also, for a few more days buy a $10 gift card for $5. Aand, if you have Chase Freedom, they currently have 5% off at newegg, and combined with a 1% off from Rakuten, one can wither that cost a bit... I currently have a...
  4. Rosewill 1000W/1200W ATX 3.0 PSUs for $99 on Newegg

    Reviews indicate possible high death rate...
  5. APC Back-UPS 1375 VA/810 Watts on Clearance at Sam's Club (may be local only, not sure) $119.91

    Not sure if this is a great deal, as Costco has a similarly specced CyberPower unit for $10 more on regular sale, but I figured since it's APC, it may be worth a bit more... It's been a while since I've seen any UPS deals, so here we go...
  6. Acer Predator AXE7800 router with 2.5gbe port, 2.4/5/6Ghz wifi6e $199.99 AP

    Is there any way to set up multiple LAN lines from this router to a switch to increase the bandwidth ? The WAN port is 2.5Gb, but LAN ports are 1Gb. I have a 2.5Gb switch, have not been able to see any manuals for the router, that would be a good feature to have, but don't know if this is doable...
  7. Amazon - 6-port ethernet switch, 4x 2.5gbe rj45, 2x 10gbe sfp+ $69.99

    I just noticed one bad thing about this switch - it only carries a 1 year warranty. I had an issue with a refurb 8-port TrendNet 2.5G switch before, and TrendNet would not RMA it, even though the switch carries a lifetime warranty, but the refurb only 90 days. I did some more debugging on it...
  8. Amazon - 6-port ethernet switch, 4x 2.5gbe rj45, 2x 10gbe sfp+ $69.99

    Came today, so far so good, much smaller than the TrendNet 2.5G it replaces. Now I'm ready for the 10G wireless router :D But seriously, that 10G port may actually be important in the future, we'll see. For now, I actually DOWNgraded my xfinity connection to 200Mbps to save some money, even...
  9. The cheap SSDs thread

    Whoa, I see $150/160(w/heatsink) now (MC), looks like I missed it, darn.
  10. Amazon - 6-port ethernet switch, 4x 2.5gbe rj45, 2x 10gbe sfp+ $69.99

    The 9-port version (8 2.5G + 1 10G port) is $99.99, with a 15% off as well, don't forget about this one :) This is the one I got. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C64X3625/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
  11. MSI RX 6800 $449.99 NIB

    Looking at the specs, the first one would hardly beat a 3060Ti, am I missing something? The 6800XT seems a lot faster, but open box, 3 large fans, that's one big card, hmm (and now OOS anyway)
  12. The cheap SSDs thread

    I think this is what happened to all my MSDOS floppies from the 80's LOL, they are pretty much unreadable now.
  13. The cheap SSDs thread

    Yeah, nvme's are still more expensive, but if you have PCIE4, you get like 15X the speed of SSD, hard to pass up, and definitely noticeable. Even PCIE3 will give you 10X the speed. Problem with SATA is that it seems like there are no plans to upgrade the technology in terms of speed, maybe...
  14. The cheap SSDs thread

    Ha ha, I'm glad I'm not the only one that had trouble with PNY. I got screwed over on a warranty of a video card (looong time ago, was like an AGP GF4 Ti4400, around 2003-4), AND a 128GB or 256GB USB thumb drive a few years back, when they were much more expensive (now I have more thumb drives...
  15. The cheap SSDs thread

    Wow, not bad, I almost consider SSDs obsolete with nvme's available, but the size is hard to ignore. A likewise aggressively priced 8TB unit would make me seriously think about getting one, but I'm glad the prices are trending in the right direction. I'm still rocking a 6TB Iron Wolf for media...
  16. Walmart- Gateway Ultra Slim notebook Ryzen 3500U $199

    Just removed the back cover. So the W800S drive is a 2280 m.2 removable with B+M notches, likely just a SATA drive, not sure if a PCIE version could go in there and work. Both the filled in and expansion slots are just with the M notch, but it could still be just SATA interface only, I may try...
  17. Newegg - MAXSUN GeForce RTX 3080 iCraft OC 10GB GDDR6X 320-Bit $699.99 - $175 gift card

    Yep, just saw the picture of the gift card, NE only for sure.... These cards sure get thicker and thicker, 3 slots killed, wow. I kind of drew the line at 2 slots, 2 fans, and refuse to buy anything beyond that (this also helps to put a constraint on spending, LOL). My fastest card is a 3070...
  18. Newegg - MAXSUN GeForce RTX 3080 iCraft OC 10GB GDDR6X 320-Bit $699.99 - $175 gift card

    Are the promo cards they give out only valid at NE, or are they generic VISA or something that can be used anywhere?
  19. Walmart- Gateway Ultra Slim notebook Ryzen 3500U $199

    Not sure, Crystal Disk Info identifies it as W800S 256.0 GB...
  20. Walmart- Gateway Ultra Slim notebook Ryzen 3500U $199

    So my order came today, really fast. I was excited to see a door on the back of the laptop, was hoping it's for RAM, but it's for the NVMe expansion, so space can definitely be added (not sure if SSD or PCIe variant can be added, but if only SSD it would be disappointing). So it is stuck at 8GB...
  21. Walmart- Gateway Ultra Slim notebook Ryzen 3500U $199

    I think so, love these Ryzens... I just checked, I bought that Toshiba in July 2015, so it's pretty much 7.5 years old atp, 2GB Celeron unit. Worked fine all this time except in Costa Rica, where it refused to boot (probably because of humidity?), I figured she suffered enough ;)
  22. Newegg - Chuwi LarkBox Pro super mini PC $159.99

    Wonder if this would be enough for a 2.5G Linux router... I got a MinisForum UM350 for that purpose (still have not started the project), I think mine is overkill, this one would need 2 USB 2.5G dongles, not sure if the CPU would be able to keep up though...
  23. Walmart- Gateway Ultra Slim notebook Ryzen 3500U $199

    Needed 1 for my wife, her 6 year old Toshiba is embarrassingly slow, she liked the blue, so also in 4 1, crossing fingers the review is an outlier as well.
  24. AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D.......$329.00 w/fs -- Insane Deal!! (DEAD) - Nope, still alive!

    Looks like it's back from the dead, at least temporarily...
  25. AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D.......$329.00 w/fs -- Insane Deal!! (DEAD) - Nope, still alive!

    MicroCenter has not responded pricewise yet, they usually undercut even these crazy prices within a week (well, within reason)... They are showing $420 on their site (although I've seen it as low as $380 I believe), and actually sold out at my local MC, maybe I'll grab this deal after all, seems...
  26. [DEAD] Walmart.com - Gateway laptop 8GB / 256GB / i3-1115G4 / 15.6" FHD (Green) $199

    It was a quantum deal... somebody looked at it and changed the price, LOL
  27. Newegg - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X $213 - $20 promo

    Seems like these (along with the G chips) have been cheaper in the not-so-distant past, I recall seeing the 5600X for $175 at least, if not cheaper. MC has it for $180 still. Wondering what the overall pricing trend for Zen3 will be with upcoming Zen4, as socket change and availability of Zen3...
  28. Ryzen 5 5600G $165 @ Amazon

    May have grabbed the last of the Amazon-shipped ones at $132.19, they now seemed to have upped the price back to $150+ (actually, it just seems to be going back and forth between the lower and upper prices, maybe after a sale). There's still the cheaper option sold by Ibushak, but they charge...
  29. AX411 - $18.75

    @TechJunky Just read the section about multi-port NICs, didn't even know these existed, but a bit pricey. I already have a spare system I can run Linux on, so I may go that route. I have a few 1-port (2.5G) NICS I was thinking of using, one goes to the modem, the other goes to a switch. I figure...
  30. AX411 - $18.75

    @Tech Junky, thanks for the comprehensive reply! I started adding 2.5G switches in the house (so far have 2, 1 more will give me whole-house coverage), but yeah, the router is only 1G. The AX4400 was only $130 last year, so I went that cheaper route to get WiFi 6, and now I am seeing some...
  31. AX411 - $18.75

    I'm not getting anywhere near your speeds on the AX210... Best I've seen is around 700+Mbps, but I'm also further away from my router, my signal quality hovers around 40 (from iwconfig). My router is TPLink AX4400. I'm actually happy with the speeds I'm getting, for higher speeds I should...
  32. AX411 - $18.75

    I upgraded from 3168NGW to AX210NGW on a DeskMeet x300, seeing faster connection speeds and it seems a better/faster connection overall. Ordered a couple more for a DeskMini x300 and my laptop that has a Realtek ax card. Seems like a small price to pay for a pretty good upgrade, of course when...
  33. AX411 - $18.75

    Ah, no AMD, gotcha, so I shouldn't even try for my x300 boards :D
  34. AX411 - $18.75

    I'd be interested in the outcome as well - I just purchased an AX210 for one of my x300 boxes - I understand that this chip is not that much of an improvement over the AX210 other than BT 5.3 and some more parallelization of traffic, but for the price, if it will work just as well as the AX210...
  35. Rosewill ATX case w/4 RGB fans $59.99

    I'd love to migrate a couple of my older builds to newer cases, but what freaks me out is the lack of 5.25 drive space - it's all been taken by fans... I still use a drive to watch an occasional movie or to rip a CD. Maybe the way to go is to just do a ghetto setup with an external USB bluray...
  36. 5600X for $175 Newegg

    Ha, probably a $50 mistake, it happens. Now I always try to gently twist off the cooler from the CPU, i had a similar issue with a 3600 a while back before using the "twistoff" technique, but was thankfully able to bend the bent pins back without breaking them :sweatsmile:
  37. AMD Ryzen 5700G (8C/16T) $359 and 5600G (6C/12T) $259 are here! @ Newegg

    MC price update: 5600: $150 5600G: $140 5700G: $210 (LOL I guess they decided it was too cheap, now $220) 5700X: $240 5800X3D: $400 I grabbed the 5700G hoping it would be the elusive stepping 2, but alas, still stepping 0...
  38. DEAD (at NE, but not at MC): AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D $399

  39. AMD Ryzen 5700G (8C/16T) $359 and 5600G (6C/12T) $259 are here! @ Newegg

    WHOA, and I was able to use the Chase 50% off for another $15 off, killer deal!
