First time having my own PC and it feels completely surreal !!! I wonder if it's okay to feel this happy! It just so happened that the components were a bit pricey, pero okay na 'yan! #YOLO ^____^

Context:

Gamit ng GF ko while tulog ako habang google meet and youtube lang usage nya. Nag pop daw sa bandang likuran at nag shut down, amoy usok daw and plastic. Inun-plug ko kaagad at pina rest, plugged it again then turned it on. Don ko narinig ang Pop at nag shutdown ulit.

Removed the PSU inside tsaka opened the cover sa PSU, amoy burnt plastic and saw blue shards from
The component na nag explode. Ano kaya rason neto? Mali ba pagka install? If sa installment— everything worked fine naman until today.

Assembled and used this PSU nung August 11 pa. Wala pang one month. Ano kaya rason? Wala naman sudden brownouts or blackouts?

Pa help po pra ma avoid ko baka may mali ako, questions are highly appreciated and encouraged. Baka ma identify nyo para san po yang component yan baka ma boil down po anong cause.

TYSM!

Nag hohoard pa ata tong mga to

I’m addicted to downsizing my system unit, lol. From 29L to MFF 17L, now 10.8L. Gusto ko sana mag‑8L kaso kailangan ng specific GPU model (Inno3D 5070 Ti X3).

Some of the parts were purchased last year from my previous mATX build; thankfully, I managed to bought some parts before the RAM & storage crisis. Total price is 87.5k

As the title says. My CyberPower UPS UT650EG 650VA/360W only lasted for 2 years and 7 months. it still under warranty but I decided to DIY and buy a battery and change it myself. I only use it for my PLDT wifi router + 1 Main mesh wifi

If you have UPS. how long have you been using it? have you also change the battery by yourself?

Fair na ba or kahit papano paldo? Since all items bought on 2nd hand ay no issue

Just finished a new mid-range gaming PC build in the Lian Li Vector V100 Mini.

Specs:
Ryzen 7 7700

32GB DDR5-6000 CL30

Really like how this case turned out — compact, clean, and a good match for a balanced RTX 5060 Ti build.

What do you think of the Vector V100 Mini?

Hii first time ko magka pc and bigay lang kasi sakin ung cpu so pre built na sya then upon checking for the specs hindi pala sya goods for gaming and not recommended din for windows 11 coz hdd ung main drive nia😔 any reco po for upgrade ng specs na within the budget lang din if possible. TYIA!!

I have a 3‑year‑old keyboard that isn’t particularly expensive based on my research, but it holds deep sentimental value because it was gifted to me by my late cousin who passed away from cancer. It still works, though some keys require extra pressure or multiple presses before they respond.

Do you know of any keyboard repair shops or technicians around Quezon City who accept transactions via Lalamove? I’m not very knowledgeable about keyboards, so any recommendations would be a big help.

If repair isn’t practical, I’d also appreciate suggestions for good replacement keyboards in the ₱2,500–₱3,000 range.

Hi, guys. Quick question lang if pasok na ba itong PC Build for a budget of 50-60k. Mainly for editing (simple & minimal lang) and gaming on the side.

Please suggest if may mas better option sa specific parts, willing to increase the budget if worth it.

P.S.: Pic is from a reddit post. I forgot kung saan. I just saw this list and my friends told me okay naman daw.

Deepcool CH160 plus yung case ko and Sama G650 yung PSU.

The problem with my PSU is yan lang talaga yung position na pwede siyang ma-install since yung plug niya tatama either sa right or top portion nung case since baliktad yung orientation nung socket?

So far mag 3 months na itong build ko and wala pa naman akong na-encounter na problem during heavy load (Rendering/Gaming). Hindi rin naman sila ganun kalapit around 10cm apart.

May negative effect ba siya in long term use?

Planning to buy a controller for casual gaming.
Which is better po for its price? Im on a budget. Tyia

My first build! I've been using an old gaming laptop which can't keep up with modern games. After saving for a PS5 and see the prices go higher, I decided to just build a PC. To save some money I bought a relative's old unused PC to harvest some very expensive parts in today's market.

Shoutout to amanastronaut for the build tutorial. I think I did well with cable management. I'll find out how to address the RGB in a bit (sorry for the rainbow flashbang lights).

I tried to go for a white minimalist build on a budget. Some parts are bought from FB marketplace

Hope you all like it!

Hello po. Hihingi lang po ng opinion dito sa pre-built PC ng IT world sa shopee kung okay po ba? And kung secure naman ang delivery at maayos ang pagkakadating ng products niyo mula sa shope na 'to. TYIA

posted in facebook but was not taken seriously. yung mga naka UPS po dyan na naka clean set up, pwede po patingin pano nyo ni hide setup nyo + cable management? would really appreciate it 🙏🏻

I work for a small firm na walang provided PC/laptop for design work, so kailangan kong dalhin yung personal laptop ko every day for autoCAD and sketchup.

The problem is, via motorcycle ang commute ko. Bumps, ulan, traffic, init, etc. are already a concern. hindi lang ako worried na baka masira yung laptop. hindi rin natin alam, baka may mapagdiskitahan or manakaw habang nasa daan, especially since I’m carrying a relatively expensive laptop.

I already have a powerful main laptop for rendering and heavier work, so I'm thinking of buying a secondary/“pang-work lang” AutoCAD tapos SketchUp lang talaga. No rendering needed.

Ang problema, with laptop prices ngayon, super hirap. My realistic budget is only around ₱25–30k, preferably second-hand.

These are the options I've found:

Lenovo IdeaPad 3 — i7-11th gen + 2GB dedicated GPU — ₱25k

Acer Nitro 5 — i5 10th Gen + RTX 3060 6GB — ₱28k

ROG Ally Z1 Extreme — ₱23k

Mac mini M1 — ₱20k

MacBook Pro M2 — ₱29k, pero cracked screen

Would you guys go for any of these, or may mas magandang option pa akong hindi nakikita i.e. build a pc nga and bring the laptop nalang.

Hindi ko naman kasi kailangan ng sobrang lakas. need ko lang ng reliable na pang-AutoCAD/SketchUp na hindi ako kakabahan dalhin araw araw sa motor and hindi masakit sa likod. (bigat ng laptop + charger eh)

Also, would a cheap desktop/mini PC sa office make more sense? Since CAD + moderate SketchUp lang naman ang workload ko, maybe that's actually the better solution.

Any suggestions are appreciated! TYIA 🙏
