its such a shame that case manufacturers make glassslop and and shitty rgb garbage, meanwhile OEMs make soulful shit like that pic but then clog it with garbage and upmark it by 2x
cant we have the best of both worlds?
both of those computers are selling for $100 or under on ebay my dude. Live your OEM non-rgb dreams
we need to start oemmaxxing
ive been doing this for 15 years. Building a PC makes absolutely no sense unless you are spending $4k+. For anything less than that just pick up a refurb dell/hp and perhaps throw a GPU in it
I agree. I have been using an old second-hand PC from 2015 that I got for free in 2019 that has an Intel i5-4460 processor and 16GB DDR3 RAM that still serves me well even in 2024. I don't play modern games, but I can still use programs like Photoshop and Audition, etc.
>i5-4460
That's indeed more than passable.
Anyone not a techie could run Windows 10 LTSC and Adobe software off of an i5-4310 just fine, too. That 4460 would be a noticeable improvement in processing speed, however.
Good for you, Jerome, no one cares to know about your steals. If you ever can, go and give it back, a decent machine like that isn't even expensive second hand.
build your own, these ((pcs)) are shit
the rainbow lights are togglable
They're almost free you idiot. You can usually get them for less than $100, and they do the job for a lot of people. A lot of people get them from their jobs.
HPs are fine if you can handle somewhat poor build quality and don't need to upgrade since they hate other parts.
They'd probably be a lot more expensive, you can more or less get these for free.
there are plenty of mundane case options. have you even looked?
Don't expect anyone who uses "soulful" to describe corporate computing to do anything remotely intelligent.
these are not soulful
this and the other form-factors are the best looking behind thinkcentres
Both of these suck donkey dick compared to a steam deck. You should ALWAYS use a steam deck as a reference point when considering a computer purchase.
Get the one with i5-8500.
This. intel iGPU sucks ass.
you mean that brick of a device that can't even run fortnite? no thanks
get a newer ryzen one, just not with a dedicated GPU since they have cooling issues
I'm gonna need that font name, looks very nice!
xterm*faceName: Envy Code R
thanks a lot, just set it up on my other desktop and it looks very good.
>captcha
nice
the one with less hours in it, fans may go like 100k, these two might be packing like 30k hours
The former has better CPU, more RAM and SSD, the latter cools much cooler imo
The HP one is pretty decent. Might want to upgrade the SSD, but otherwise it's a good budget pc out of the box.
The HP is easily better. It's not even a competition. More modern CPU that supports Windows 11. Twice the ram and it has an SSD.
>HP
no
HP is fine. Government buys HP and dell interchangeably
>Government buys HP
wow so its the cheapest trash that lasts only just long enough until they replace it again the next budget season
I dont understand why you keep posting about a subject you have 0 knowledge about
IQfy would be a wasteland if people didn't do that.
All the Dells at all the jobs Ive had worked fine.
All the HPs were steaming shit.
The HPs all would run their fans at full shop vac speeds for no reason. some pulsate, turning the fans off then on full speed.
I bought an HP mouse and it had a range of approximately 2 inches.
I tried fixing an HP netbook, but it needed a proprietary HP version of Windows. On their website, you could not get this version.
They are a shit company that cuts every possible corner, they make the shittiest of the shittiest products.
yeah bro, HP computers just dont function. You cracked the code. Everyone using an HP computer just pretends it turns on and runs
>i5
>i7
bro, what century are you from? get an i9-13900k or i9-14900k
shalom
I have the full size Optiplex 7040 running in my workshop. Great machine.
i7-6700, 32gb DDR4, 1050ti. Cost me a whopping zero Ameribucks.
I use it to shitpost, listen to podcasts while I’m working on shit, and read repair manuals for what I am working on.
Best zero bucks I ever spent.
Contrary to most people here - yes "these suck donkey balls" but i5-8500 is still perfectly usable even when gayming. Just make sure you install nvme drive too.
6 physical cores is a minimum these days.
Hyperthreading won't do...
ThinkCentre or GTFO
just get a Dell, bro.
prodesk is better, skylake is starting to be oldish, if both are the same price there's no reason to get the optiplex
For a home media server definitely get something 8th/9th gen since the iGPU and quicksync got a decently big upgrade that gen. Either the Prodesk G5 or G6 even started including a slot for a GPU and aren't much more expensive. I managed to get a thinkcentre with a 12500 for $220 thinking it was more futureproof, but virtualization with that thing is a DKMS filled nightmare and Intel still hasn't fricking mainlined SR-IOV.
Get a Xeon workstation for $50-$100 more. Something like a Lenovo P520, Dell T5820 or a HP Z4 G4. They typically have a Skylake-SP Xeon (that is more like an 8th gen core processor) equivalent to a 8700k or a Ryzen 3600. Not the fastest, but still get the job done, don't be scared by the high TDP that's calculated when they're running the AVX512 cores too, normally they consume less than that.
Plenty of PSU juice, PCIe ports for multiple GPUs, full sized hard drive space if you're a hoarder.
What's the point of buying a desktop pc with an integrated videocard? Why not buying a laptop at that point?
laptops have :
permanently attached keyboards
permanently attached monitors
shit cooling
Anything but hp
