honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:21 AM

#

fuck em neither

#

me

#

but does it ahve everyging to run

#

or like

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:22 AM

#

I assume it has SSD and RAM in there as well (i just cant see it behind everything)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:23 AM

#

do u want me to open it from the beings

#

?

#

hood on

#

hood

#

hold*

#

behind*

#

i don’t think it’s what u wanted tho

#

ok let’s just assume it has those things

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

If it does then it should be good

#

About these cables, I find I'm not using them except for the rgb lighting on my CPU fan

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

but it doesn’t turn on that’s the problem

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

So I don't think they will be important

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:25 AM

#

ok bet bro

#

what abt the red ones

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

Red ones would be power

#

(Mine are black but yours are red)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:26 AM

#

what is this thing

#

the white one that’s like sticks out

#

wait it’s loading

#

the one that to the side

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:27 AM

#

desert wraith Red ones would be power

lol bet bro

#

ok*

#

red cables

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

I have no clue I'm trying to look for something similar on my pc

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

alr bet bro

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

What's it connected to

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:28 AM

#

let me beck

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

Mines connected to my GPU but because you have 2 idk how you would go about plugging your GPUs in like this

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:29 AM

#

to the pham

#

fan

#

this one

#

it’s loading

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:31 AM

#

I assume it might be power to the fan

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:31 AM

#

nevermind i lied

#

it’s connected to the back

#

of the pc

#

behind the graphics card

#

they all tied together too

#

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:33 AM

#

Half of those look like sata cords (mobo to sata drive)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:33 AM

#

ok do we need them

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:33 AM

#

Only if you have sata drives

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:34 AM

#

i made a huge discovery

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:34 AM

#

E.g. I only have a DVD reader so I only need one cable (I use M.2 on this PC)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:34 AM

#

it plug-ins into this

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:34 AM

#

honest fox i made a huge discovery

What is it

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:34 AM

#

hold wifi being bait

#

shit*

#

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:35 AM

#

Yep

#

Also should be a cable for like this plugged in as well

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:36 AM

#

I DO

#

hold

#

but there is a million of them which makes no sense

#

but one does plug in

#

it’s losing

#

loading

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:36 AM

#

honest fox but there is a million of them which makes no sense

Yes. We see my Nan's PC I think she's used almost all her cables

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:37 AM

#

desert wraith Yes. We see my Nan's PC I think she's used almost all her cables

real

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:37 AM

#

yep that's correct

#

With the PC not turning on, it'll have to be something with the PSU

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

what’s pay

#

psu*

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:38 AM

#

Power supply

#

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:39 AM

#

that makes sense

#

mying is from 2013

#

i’ll show

#

but it’s 800watts

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:40 AM

#

More powerful than mine brand new

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:40 AM

#

real

#

what’s the plan

#

now

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:41 AM

#

I originally got this PSU because it had a busted 500w PSU but I'm now hoping it'll be powerful enough for me (this is a 13900k build)

#

OK so

#

#

One of these cables

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:41 AM

#

desert wraith I originally got this PSU because it had a busted 500w PSU but I'm now hoping it...

idk shit bout computers but goodluck

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:41 AM

#

Are they plugged into this part of the motherboard

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:42 AM

#

i only have one with 4 circles

#

i think so

#

wait

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:44 AM

#

Pretty much plugging into one of these on the top left of the motherboard

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:44 AM

#

bro so what happened r they not there

#

idk i only have these

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:44 AM

#

Also it was this cord sorry

#

Might have it as split in 2

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:45 AM

#

yeah i don’t have that one but i think it’s plugged in?

#

sometging is plugged in on the top

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:45 AM

#

Can you send a pic of it

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:46 AM

#

perhaps

#

also this one unplugged on. accident while i was looking

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:48 AM

#

I assume that could be a fan

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:48 AM

#

oh alright

#

so what’s the plan

#

now

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:48 AM

#

Look where it leads, then we need to find out where it'll go on the motherboard

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:49 AM

#

the small piece

#

?

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:49 AM

#

Yes

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:49 AM

#

i found the small piece where it should go

#

it’s kinda har fro ge tim there

#

hard to get in there

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:49 AM

#

Yep sounds right

#

To even get into my PC I had to take out the CPU cooler and the GPU

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:50 AM

#

wait bro jay

#

quick

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:50 AM

#

(I mean what good is a CPU cooler if there's no CPU to cool)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:50 AM

#

it has lights

#

did i do it right per

#

or

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:50 AM

#

Ok

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:51 AM

#

desert wraith

Turn it off then plug the top GPU in with this cord

#

Or plug both in if you want

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:51 AM

#

i don’t that cord

#

that’s the thing bro

#

have*

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:51 AM

#

Damn

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:51 AM

#

i only have the four square ones

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:51 AM

#

It should come with the PSU so that's problematic

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

are u sure it should be the four things

#

DOUND.

#

FOUND

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

awesome

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

i think idk tho

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:52 AM

#

(When connecting make sure PC power is off to avoid electrocution)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:53 AM

#

only thing i have that redeemable that

#

resambles

#

reassembles*

#

it isn’t plugg in oop

#

oops

#

WAIT

#

I FOUND ONE

#

COME BACK

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:54 AM

#

Still here

#

(Unless you mean the cord)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

i plugged both in

#

red ones

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

Beautiful

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

so it should we ok now

#

work

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

And I think this one is right too maybe

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

i have one more of that red thing left

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

I can't see it too clearly

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

nah it didn’t plug in

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:55 AM

#

Damn

#

Gonna hope what we have works

#

I'm assuming a display is connected to one of the GPUs

#

If so, fire up the PC

#

(and pray it works)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 2:56 AM

#

ok let me try rn

#

it doesn’t woke lmao

#

work

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:57 AM

#

Damn

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 2:57 AM

#

you're gonna need a total of 4 of the red ones

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

Do you still get this light

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

2 for each GPU

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

Someone knows better than me :)

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 2:58 AM

#

you also seem to be missing an SLI bridge

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 2:59 AM

#

He has an SLI bridge

#

I've just read sometimes SLI can be done via mobo and idk how to get it connected

#

I was hoping someone who knew would come help better than me eventually

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 2:59 AM

#

yeah it can work without a bridge, but it's still recommended to use one

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

woeful folio you also seem to be missing an SLI bridge

i have

#

also

#

do i unplug this or

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

unplug what?

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

it’s showing

#

hold on

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:01 AM

#

But yes this is the SLI bridge

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:02 AM

#

yes bro

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:02 AM

#

not sure, where does the other end go?

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:02 AM

#

no where

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:02 AM

#

then yeah plug that into a GPU power

#

the GPUs need to have all power connectors connected

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:02 AM

#

ok give me a moment

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:03 AM

#

and plug in the SLI bridge too

#

it sits between the cards

#

also what are those extra smaller cards underneath each GPU?

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:03 AM

#

which one

#

can u circle

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

these two

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

bro idk

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:04 AM

#

yeah this looks correct now

#

except the bottom right one is not fully plugged in

#

make sure it clicks

#

but I think it should boot now

#

with your monitor connected to either of the cards

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:05 AM

#

they all fully pushed in for me

#

hood on

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

ah ok

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:06 AM

#

hold sending pics

#

woof being dog shit

#

wifi*

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

the sli bridge goes over the top there to the left

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

wifi is just pain i need del to figure out why this SIM she sent me is being so slow

#

(could be router actually overheating)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

lmao

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

SLI bridge connects these together

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

oh how did i not notice this

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:07 AM

#

woeful folio the sli bridge goes over the top there to the left

let me try

#

can u also

#

circle where it goes

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

and yeah I think you can probably remove those two extra cards

#

or wait

#

one is a soundcard?

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

hronidk

#

bro

#

also look sending

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

did i do it right

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

you can leave them in

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

bet

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:08 AM

#

I think they're those type of extra cards with extra connectors you get with some motherboards

#

probably sound outputs on the top card

#

and like... all the legacy stuff on the bottom card

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

what does that even mean

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

don't worry about it

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

did i do it right

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

yeah it looks right

#

but it's a 3-way SLI bridge?

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:09 AM

#

bro no power still

#

LMAO

#

tf

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:10 AM

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

oh

#

#

it looks like this in the back?

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:11 AM

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

woeful folio

yas

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

I think you need to move your cards then

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

fell on the floor

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

it only looks like it's connecting to the bottom card

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

how tf i do that bro i have ever owned a pc

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:11 AM

#

xd

#

you unscrew them from the backplate, and then press a small lever on the motherboard to disconnect them

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:12 AM

#

bro we will be here all night

#

ok pic sending hold

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

well I gotta go to sleep soon so I can't stay for long :p

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:13 AM

#

rip

#

what do i do with these

#

or r they useless

#

it’s sending hold

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:14 AM

#

that's just an extension cord

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:14 AM

#

oh ok

#

so what do we do now

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:15 AM

#

I think it's an extension cord for the CPU power cable to the motherboard

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

soo

#

but why won’t it turn on

#

nothing turns on

#

not even the fans

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

are you using the power button on the motherboard?

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

i’m not

#

do i need to

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

I dunno

#

is the button on the case plugged in?

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:16 AM

#

i mean i saw a power button there

#

yes bro

#

wiat ur smart hood on

#

hold

#

power button is red

#

And there is also reset

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

try the motherboard power button

#

that will be more guaranteed to work :)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

it works

#

ily

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:17 AM

#

poggers

#

but you're gonna have to probably remove all the cards and put the GPUs in more spaced apart for the SLI bridge to fit

#

but that's only required to get SLI working in full speed

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:18 AM

#

let’s do this tomorrow?

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:18 AM

#

sure :)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:18 AM

#

bet ty

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:19 AM

#

np!

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:21 AM

#

i’m help

#

um*

#

it kinda turned off

#

when i tried to move it

#

oi nvm

#

@woeful folio when i plug in hmdi monitor it says no hmdi

#

but the keyboard works

#

i bought a usb to hdmi

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:33 AM

#

hm

#

usb to hdmi?

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:33 AM

#

yes bro

#

cause this pc doesn’t have hdmi

#

wait i’ll show

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:33 AM

#

I don't think that will work

#

you need to find a cable from the GPU itself to the monitor

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:34 AM

#

where do i find that

#

?

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:34 AM

#

depends, what connectors do the GPU have?

#

show a pic

#

of the back

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:35 AM

#

ok hold on

#

sending all three pics

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

I see a hdmi right there

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

wait show

#

tell me

#

ohh

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:36 AM

#

I think the third hole in each gpu is hdmi

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:37 AM

#

it doesn’t fit

#

tho

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:37 AM

#

it might just be tight

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:38 AM

#

is there more hdmi ports?

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:38 AM

#

yeah top card also has one, covered with a rubber cap

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:38 AM

#

wait what’s top card

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:38 AM

#

I'm on phone atm so can't draw xd

#

it doesn’t show

#

#

on the monitor

#

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:39 AM

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:41 AM

#

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:41 AM

#

#

ok just rebooted

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:41 AM

#

but you also have onboard audio on the motherboard

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:41 AM

#

it’s working

#

wait

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:41 AM

#

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:41 AM

#

why do i need

#

wait ok time for real microsoft help

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:42 AM

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

do you have an SSD at all (or even HDD ~~but ill kill you if you use Windows on a HDD~~)

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

it's gonna need sata cable to the motherboard and power cable from the PSU

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

#

I JUST GOT IT

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:43 AM

#

woeful folio it's gonna need sata cable to the motherboard and power cable from the PSU

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:44 AM

#

Plug in a hard drive like you plugged in the DVD drive

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:44 AM

#

what the fuck is a hard drive

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:44 AM

#

they should be in the front cage part of the case, but the previous owner might have kept all the drives

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:44 AM

#

ok hold on let me turn it odd

#

off

#

turned off

#

wym front cage

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

the thing in the bottom front of the cage is called a drive cage

#

it holds all the drives

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

This area where drives go

#

Looks different per pc

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:46 AM

#

oh yeah there is only asus dvd LMAOO

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:47 AM

#

it's not uncommon to sell a second hand pc without drives

#

I think it might be the case here

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:47 AM

#

Yeah so you might need to order a new drive you you don't have one on you

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:47 AM

#

facts

#

is it easy to pirate

#

tho windows

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:48 AM

#

(We won't talk about that here)

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:48 AM

#

yes but we aren't allowed to talk about that here

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:48 AM

#

LAO my bad

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:48 AM

#

and you might be lucky that your motherboard has swallowed up an OEM key

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

i think it has it

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

thats pretty much the front USB ports

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

cause something is plugged in

#

u see the wooden

#

or is that’s also for usb

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:49 AM

#

USB most likely

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

oh alr

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

definitely not an ssd at least

#

it should be a pretty big thing

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

desert wraith This area where drives go

a drive will usually be this big or a little bit smaller unless its in the motherboard

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

damn that’s big

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:50 AM

#

it's a bit too old to have M.2 drives

#

so probably none of those hidden motherboard drives

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

moment

#

i wouldnt have m.2 if i didnt need to replace my motherboard

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:51 AM

#

what’s a good hdd drive

#

any recommendations

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

ssd :) not hdd

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

what’s the diff

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

any ssd will be miles faster than any hdd

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

SSD is much faster

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

so this specs two 980tis and like i7-4960x and some fans and idk the rest

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

but hdd can get much larger storage for lower price

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

But WIndows these days (since 1903) is terribly optimized for HDDs

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:52 AM

#

oh alr

#

so what ssd

#

tho

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:53 AM

#

I'd get a WD or Samsung SSD

#

I'll not recommend Seagate because I want to throw that HDD thats in my PC (and also another Seagate Baracuda HDD I want to throw)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

oh alr ty

#

for the help

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

tbh Seagate isn't bad its just when it decides to die it dies without warning

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:54 AM

#

that’s not good tbh

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

Yeah we kinda lost 4TB of family photos (most were backed up thankfully)

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:55 AM

#

kingston are decent if you just need a cheap ssd

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:56 AM

#

The 1TB in my PC was dead when I got the PC (like almost every other component of it)

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:56 AM

#

they're not gonna win any prizes but they are reliable and cheap

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

cheap is a good thing

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:57 AM

#

I'd also look into SP SSDs however idk too much on reliability. It's not exactly fast, probably slower than my WD Green, but it seems to handle being running 24/7

#

128gb SP SSD cost about $19 AUD

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

what’s ur recommendations like 1tb?

#

is good

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

yeah

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

bet

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

2TB will be the cheapest in $/GB

#

but 1TB is very close to the same

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 3:58 AM

#

1tb is def good

#

~~unless you data hoard like me~~

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 3:59 AM

#

1TB gets you reasonably far as long as you don't have a tendency to hoard 4K videos

#

in which case it doesn't last very long at all xd

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

who hoards 4& gifs

#

vids

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

I think my WD Green 2TB was $219 AUD

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

honest fox who hoards 4& gifs

me

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

lmao

woeful folio Feb 25, 2023, 4:00 AM

#

30 bucks

#

50 for 1tb

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

lets just say the desktop PC here has 3 12TB HDDs and 1 10TB HDD external drives (thats not all the drives most are near 4tb and we have so many it fills up every usb port)

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

such a steal

#

facts bro

desert wraith Feb 25, 2023, 4:01 AM

#

I think ive heard some good things about PNY

#

cant confirm though as I am an avid WD Green or Samsung Evo user

honest fox Feb 25, 2023, 4:03 AM

#

as long as it’s cheap and wokrs

#

i could care less tbh

#

works*

#

but thanks for the help y’all

#
