I am looking for some retro handheld as gifts for Christmas that can (attempt) to play up through Dreamcast games. I am currently considering something like the POWKIDDY RGB30 or ANBERNIC RG353VS. Any others you would recommend? Your thoughts? Thanks ...

Remember those ridiculous prices being asked for new/used GPUs just a year ago due to crypto miners and supply chain problems? Every time I see a killer deal on a new or used GPU I remember that that card was two-or-three times more expensive just a year or so ago. I game but not extensively...

So I just replaced one boot drive with a new one. The original boot drive (drive #1) was a Samsung 250 GB. I replaced it with a 500 GB WD Black NVMe (drive #2). My intent was for #2 to become my new BD while #1 would become a gaming SSD. I used AOMEI Partition Magic to clone #1 to #2...

I am looking for an old SSD in an attempt to try to resurrect a rather old, now nearly worthless device. I am hoping that a member here might have one or more of these drives in an old parts bin or junk drawer. The specs on the SSD include: Same/compatible with the Sandisk SD65P1M drive, m.2...

Hello, I am looking to purchase a MS Surface Pro as a gift. I have stumbled across a few local deals but HardForums has always been a reliable source for used equipment, I thought I would give it a shot. After some research, I am focusing on/prefer something like a Surface Pro 7 but please...

So I just replaced/migraded one boot drive with a new one. The original boot drive (drive #1) was a Samsung 250 GB. I replaced it with a 500 GB WD Black NVMe (drive #2). My intent was for #2 to become my new BD while #1 would become a new gaming SSD. I used AOMEI Partition Magic to clone #1 to...

I am currently looking to upgrade two (2) systems from SATA SSDs to M.s NVMe drives. I do not need top-of-the-line drives nor the cheapest. I am looking for recommendations for a "best value" drive with a balance of good performance and an affordable/reasonable price. I do not mind going with...

I am in the process of building an AM4 system for a buddy of mine and just discovered that his current case will not support a full-sized ATX MB, so now I am case shopping. I've checked out Amazon and was surprised to find a few (apparently) nice lower-end cases for sale in the $50 range. They...

So the backstory is I gave my iPad Mini to my son a few months ago. He put it aside and forgot about it. Fast forward to this week and he is trying to actually use the mini for some online training for work. Unfortunately, while he has an Apple ID, he forgot his password. BTW, this is the...

Hello all. I am considering a gift build for a friend who needs a PC upgrade. I am testing the waters to see if anyone has an AM4 MB (ATX) and possibly an included CPU and memory for sale on the cheaper side. Perhaps you recently upgraded and are looking to dispose of your old parts? Please...

I recently purchased a Moto G Stylus (locked to MetroPCS). Was wondering if anyone knew of a service/method to get the phone unlocked? Thank you ...

I am trying to help a friend upgrade their system piece by piece. He is VERY price sensitive because he has little (I am helping him a bit). I figure the best bang for the buck would be to upgrade his video card which is currently a GTX 950. My friend is a light to moderate gamer and...

I would appreciate any assistance (links) that you have found useful in undervolting a 5XXX series CPU. I am attempting to keep the chip as cool as possible and to minimize the chip having to throttle itself. Thank you ...

I just completed my latest build, including a Gigabyte B550 MB, 5600X (stock cooler), and an eVGA 3060 Ti video card, and a Corsair 750W PS all mounted within a Fractal Define R5 case. The rig that was replaced included a very old MB, a 3770K, and a 1660 Ti video card. It never gave me any...

Backstory: I am building my first system in 5 years. I am a fanboy on neither OEM so this time I decided to go with a Ryzen build. I have purchased a Gigabyte Aorus Pro AC MB (B550), a new power supply (Corsair), and just received my new processor. I plan to use a 3060 Ti that my son...

I build a new PC to game every 5-10 years. Knowing that my PC (3770K w/1660Ti) was getting a little long-in-the-tooth, my very gracious son sent me a new EVGA 3060Ti for Christmas. We talked, and decided that either an AMD 5600x or the new Intel 12600K would be the best for me. Both have...

Hello all, The title says it all. I am heavily invested in Valve's Steam platform and am looking for a good, but reasonably priced solution to try out VR. The games played will mostly be from Steam. If it helps, I wear glasses. I was looking at buying the Oculus Quest II set that is...

I am trying to help a financially challenged old friend of mine upgrade the memory in his Dell Optiplex 990. He is fiscally unable to upgrade his computer at this time so I am looking for 4 GB sticks of DDR3-10600 memory. The MB takes up to four (4) sticks for up to a total of 16 GB. He asked...

Looking for a 128/256GB M.2 2260 SSD for a tablet that I am trying to bring back to life (Dell Venue Pro 11). Please PM and let me know what you have including price to ZIP 32765. If you do not have an SSD but might have information on where I might procure one ... please let me know. Thank...

Looking to double the memory in an Sandy Bridge old box from 8 to 16GB. The box currently has 8 GB of G.Skill Sniper DDR3-1600 1.25V DIMMs ... so looking for another set that will fill the other two slots. Hoping to find the set of memory here before having to go to Fleabay (cringe). If you...

Hello, I am attempting to build an inexpensive, low-end machine for a family member with no funds. I am looking for any model Dell OptiPlex MT with a Core I5 or I7 processor (any gen). Prefer 8 GB of RAM but will consider configurations. I am located in Central Florida. Thank you ...

Taking a long shot here ... but looking to purchase a used Dell Latitude e6430 or equivalent for a needy friend with little/no money. Looking for a fully functional laptop with an SSD is a plus. Please provide item condition/specs, location and especially price via PM. Thank you very much!

I recently built an HTPC for use on our TV for watching movies, surfing, light gaming, etc. The System configuration is as follows: CPU: Haswell i5-4590s (65w) using stock cooler MB: ASRock B85M-ITX Memory: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws (2x4GB) DDR 3 1600 Vid card: EVGA GTX-950 Case: Cooler Master Elite...

Hey, I build systems as a hobby and not very often. I just built a Haswell i5 HTPC with a 120GB Crucial SSD, 1 TB drive for media, 8 GB RAM and a GTX 950. I TRY to use the system for browsing, videos and some light gaming on our TV. The bottom line is that even with almost nothing installed...

Was hoping that someone, perhaps, had run into this issue before ... because I sure haven't. This is weird: I am transitioning my main desktop to a newer one. I built the new system and loaded windows and drivers using a wireless keyboard (with built-in trackball as the mouse) because I did not...

Looking to purchase a GTX 950 video card (or equivalent) for an HTPC that I am building. Please let me know what you have and asking price. PMs preferred. Thank you ...

I am trying to assemble a "hybrid" HTPC/gaming rig for my TV. The setup will be used for watching movies/DVDs, surfing and some gaming (ex: World of Warships). I have decided to build as small as possible centered on an oldie but goodie, the i5-2500K. After doing a ton of research I have...

Looking to buy an LGA 1155 Mini ITX MB for a light gaming/HTPC build. Prefer USB 3.0 headers on the board as well as HDMI. I desire to have at least some OC abilities whether I actually use it or not. The CPU will be a 2500K. Please let me know what you have ... I thank you!

Unless things have changed DRASTICALLY at the USPS ... the USPS DOES NOT provide tracking information. You may be confused with both the UPS and Fed Ex. The number you were given may be a DELIVERY CONFIRMATION number and will be of little value to you until the package is delivered to you...
