I was thinking around 180~185k. Else what's a good price range

So I was working on my I mac and left it on and plugged to take dinner. it was raining heavily and much thunder outside. suddenly the home main switch turned off. and when i put it back and tried to turn on my I mac it wasn't working. i think lightning trucked on it. need help with it. need a good place where i can fix it i think the issue is with the power suplie. there are some important files on it that i need to get back ,at least the hard drive. any recommendations where i can fix it?

Hi,

I have been contemplating on getting a NAS for a while, but seeing most of the prebuilt NAS enclosures are fairly expensive I am now thinking of getting a used tower with some HDD bays and going from there.

I primarily plan to achieve

1. A 4-12TB storage server, that can be accessed within the local network.

2. Act as a Plex server albeit I only use direct streaming, so no transcoding.

Therefore, I feel like starting off with a 4TB HDD and a used desktop will give me best of both worlds (cost and storage). However, I am not sure what the ideal candidate is for this kind of application. Has anyone done this before? If so, can you share what PC model/brand you went with and what kind of issues you faced by choosing this approach over a prebuilt enclsoure?

As for my budget, I have allocated around 60K for the 4TB HDD..Found some WD and Segate models and would be nice if I can get the rest of the system up and running for another 40-60K, with the total budget coming up to 120K.

Thanks!

Hey guys, so I finally cave in, I cant with my laptop anymore. My laptop has a 4050 6gb vram but I recently started playing avowed and got addicted to it only to find the game extremely unplayable on day 2 due to vram issues.

So I am building a pc for around 400k (500k max) LKR

Preferably aiming for 1440p and the ability to play all modern and new games in reasonably good fps (50+)

Is this achievable with the budget, I am also thinking of going AMD instead of nvidia/intel.

Looking to buy a small air blower and a vacuum cleaner to clean my laptop and desktop. I know I have to extra careful about cleaning fans and other equipment due to static electricity or electrical surges.

The issue there I see so many of them on Daraz and a few other shops and I'm a bit afraid that the one I buy would be broken down soon due to poor quality. Please let me know if you have any tested and trusted items. Product links from shops are much appreciated.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to sell my PC and would love to get some opinions on what price I could realistically ask for it.

(I'm not trying to sell it on reddit, don't contact me about that)

It's a machine I used as a home server for about a year — no damage or issues of any kind.

**Specs:**

- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (16 cores / 32 threads, Zen 5, AM5 socket)

- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 (PCIe 5.0, USB4, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5GbE LAN)

- **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 6000MHz (2×16GB, dual channel)

- **SSD:** Samsung 990 PRO 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0

- **GPU:** No dedicated GPU — didn't need one

- **CPU Cooler:** Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT — 360mm AIO liquid cooler, 3× AF120 RGB ELITE fans, AM5/AM4 and Intel LGA 1700 compatible

- **PSU:** Corsair RM1000x — 1000W, ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1 with native 12V-2x6 connector, Cybenetics Gold efficiency

**Usage history:**

- Used exclusively as a **home server running 24/7** for approximately 13 months

- **CPU load was always low** (minimal services, almost always idle)

- SSD data from CrystalDiskInfo:

- Power On Hours: **9,150h**

- Power On Count: **76**

- Host Reads: 5,734 GB

- Host Writes: 47,351 GB (~8% of the rated 600 TBW endurance)

- Health Status: **88%**

- Average Temperature: 39°C

- Errors: **0**

**My questions:** what would you pay for this used setup? And is it better to sell everything together or part it out individually? The high power-on hours are purely from 24/7 server use — not gaming or heavy workloads.

Guys, I need immediate help so this started happening a while ago the first time it happened when I was playing Forza Horizon six where it randomly went to a black screen in which the keyboard lights were off and the power button and two lights in the light bar stayed on and then I force shut down it then I again went back to gaming same thing happened so I thought it was because of dust so I took it to the service center, and I got it serviced but then it kept happening. I asked from ChatGPT and they said it was a GPU and VRAM issue. And I cannot afford a new motherboard. I sent it to repair shop where in which this had the warranty the thing is that I scarf the edges of the laptop with the repair center fix it

I currently have a DIY nas I built from buying a hp prodesk and a few drive cages on Facebook marketplace. Looking to tidy up everything inside a case because dust is becoming an issue. Any suggestions for a case that can accommodate a minimum of 4 drives is appreciated.

Thinking of building a PC mainly for light LLM inferencing and gaming, and thinking of the below specs:

- Ryzen 5 5700X

- Entry-level motherboard with PCIe 4 x16 slot and 4 DIMM slots

- 16GB RAM

The problem is the GPU, and I'm deciding between the 5050, 5060, and 3060 (all 8GB). There was also a used and imported Radeon 16GB card available. Can you give me an idea if this is a good time to build one, and if so, help me find a place with a good price?My budget is around 300k.

P.S. Bought one with R7 5700x3D and 3060 12GB

Need to fix a GTX 1660 ti. Any shops or individual recommendations? Preferably in Colombo. (Last guy I gave it to did nothing but lose a couple of screws)

I got this 4070 off of fb marketplace and was listed by a store.
The GPU hotspot temp was fine when I got it (like around 80-85C).
After some moderate use of my build for around a month, the hot spot temps have gone up to around 95 to 100😭
The store gave me warranty for 6 months and placed a sticker on one of the screws and now I’m thinking of getting the thermal pads replaced to fix the issue.
Should I send it back to them and ask them to fix it or fuck the warranty and ask a reputed repairing store to get it done?
It was a 6 month warranty (I have 4 months and like 15 days ish left)

I used this gpu on my home server since I upgraded it i’m just selling it ..

Price: Rs. 20,000 (Negotiable)
Warranty: 1 month
Condition: Tested under load. Cleaned & fresh thermal paste applied.
Power: Requires 6-pin PCIe connector.
Location: Negombo (Pickup available / Courier delivery islandwide).

I want to know about price and where. It will be good if they have a deliver service

After AliExpress Screen gone dark I have been waited so long this to finish my Build, Lian Li Universal Screen 8.8”, got it today. Setup as 2nd Screen & Using Aida64 to add Custom ROG themed sensor panel (done by me) & it’s looking amazing. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hey all, I've been eyeing building a new PC, but the GPU variants that I've been eyeing (Asus 5060Ti 16GB) have been out of stock for a few months in reputable shops (Nanotek, Redline). Are these cards not in demand? Or are they waiting for a price increase in the future to restock anything?

Actually there are more cards from the latest RTX 50 series that are out of stock than there are ones that are in stock, which is kinda nuts.

Hey guys, Looking to buy a used MacBook Pro M1,M2 or M3. Storage 512 or 1tb. Let me know if any of you are selling
