Any PC Builders Out There?

Yep, I'll stick with my ubiquiti unifi gear

 

I'll stick to my WRT3200ACM for now. I thought that was a little pricey for a router when I bought it.

 

but then ide be stuck with a crappy wd drive

 

Aren't there only a handful of storage manufactures in the world? Most are just rebranded, no?

 

It's cheaper, faster than spinner storage If I had a need for more storage or wanted BF2042, I'd jump on it. Doesn't have to be top of the line to be a good deal. People buying on a budget exist too, yo.

 

i feel like it would be a waste of a slot though, like 5 games and its full. Or just cod mw and its full

 

Me, my WD Blue, and my 3060 are going to go cry in the shame corner now...

 

Just went with the Asus TUF Gaming B550M with wifi mobo and the NZXT 510 case. building this thing at a snail's pace but it'll be under $750 (for the computer by itself)

 

Watch temps in that case. NZXT may as well of called it the "Microwave"

 

saw temps arent necessarily the best with it but I dont do much...and this PC build currently doesnt even have a GPU. . .just an APU. I figured worst case down the line I add a fan or 2 but for now, I'm going with the dual exhaust for negative pressure and doubt I'll have issues.

 

Anyone have any thoughts on the Lian Li o11 air mini? I think i'm going to snag it whenever it becomes available to finally upgrade from my prebuilt cyberpowerpc/phanteks case.

 

i dont trust WD drives, had many fail in the 2000's. not sound logic but it tarnished the brand in my mind. Loving the new crucial ssd i put in my i5 thinkpad, its like a new laptop now.

 

I've ran wd drives before, they were fine other than actual speeds were mediocre compared to other brands, i think its mostly lottery when it comes to getting a good one. I've had top of the line samsung drives fail on me but ide still buy them over anything else

 

I've had dozens of WD drives, only had 2 die on me. One probably being my fault. Seagate was never a good brand for me.

 

Jinxed myself. The WD Passport I've had forever just quit on me. I think it's about 10 years old with 3300+ hours on it. Luckily I was only using it as a boot drive.
