Wrong. Thats what the old guy at my sons work had.
Also friend of mine, here husband was a truckie, has ALL the licenses. They stuck him on the loader a couple of years ago and he has been told he's...

Yep.
It's no wonder idiocy as persisted right up until today...the nutters that believe in religion, alien abductions, fairies, and all the other stupid stuff all over the net.
And we call...

I'm quite happy with just a duvet. Even in Southland....
But husband is thin to say the least.

he has his electric blanket, duvet, and a wool blanket (his side only.
We have a wool underlay...

Amazon, Aliexpress etc don't suddenly change your windows PC login.

Yes, and if you try it it comes up Sorry, run out of codes. Redirects you to MS store. You don't think I'm that thick do you? I guess you do.
Big discussions all over Minecraft forums about how...

Actually that's it really.

It started because we used to feed coins into a machine all the time.
And so a PC was bought. Way back when.

It was a toy, until one day it broke. It was fixed at...

No need to be snarky.
I did set it up that way in the first place.
I did change it back. Thats not the point. How dare it assume I want this crap to happen because I put a bloody game on. A game...

Yep.
And as my above thread shows, I think he'll either be living with the O/S as is, or biting the bullet and getting used to a console controller next time round.

I utterly hate and detest Windows 10.
Examples:

His TV has speakers. he has separate speakers with a sub, that's what he uses, better quality.
But no Windows keeps making the TV speakers...

Ok, the sound thing, if I mess with the TV at all, then Windows puts sound back to it.
Even if disabled. Grrr.

The screen. It's not an artifact, it's not the hardware.
3DMark behaves 100%...

Nope. Random. A reboot would cure it, so would any change to resolution or messing about with scaling.
The screen issue anyway, sound, dunno, that was less of a problem.

2 annoying problems.

1) I select his speakers as default device. In fact I disabled his screen as sound altogether...but no, it reverts back to playing sound through the screen again. Why?
...

This is actually the best PC he has ever had.


He likes the games, he knows nothing and cares nothing about any of the rest of it.
Really, I said go buy a console, he probably would but he...

Money.
And it's not mine, sons......he had a quote for $2.5K, that amount got decreased a bit, so that's what we came up with.

hate Samsung, too many failures, albeit ages ago, but still....

He didn't ask for an HDD, I decided that cause his C: is so old I'm amazed it isn't dead. 11 years!!! Told him it's going in the...

Samsung? Nah.....he's lucky I selected an SSD at all, he didn't really care.
CPU, who cares again. Well, within reason, he hasn't a clue, he just wants decent enough without costing a fortune.

...

Yes.
And guess who gets to do the rebuild?? Sigh, it's not the hardware I mind, it's all the fluffing about with his junk on the existing one.
Couple hours build, day and a half messing with...

sold

Son has decided to use his bonus.

ASUS mATX P7H55-M MB
Intel i5 750 CPU @2.67Ghz, Lynfield
2 x 2Gb Kingston RAM + 2 x 4GB Gskill (heatsink covered) RAM = 12GB
Gigabyte (I think) HD 7970 GPU...

Are we allowed to ask your age Prefect?

Happy p***up today!

What? ATx always has 4 slots.
Some mATX have 4, some don't.

And common or not, I'd get 2 x 32GB. It's always like that - 16Gb is standard right now, that will change and 32 will be, then 64 and...

Yep, agree Greg, also an excellent variety.

The big dry affects the wildlife too. There are birds in the neighbours peach tree, eating green small peaches.
They've had a go at my not ripe grapes too.

Desperate, so no, birds are not really...

To be fair, that IS their job...and they do stop if notified it is in dispute

Greg, perhaps a trip to your local op shop or similar :
