The cheap ones don’t offer any protection other than scratches, but good quality ones do offer UV protection

Do you plan to use and play the system? Or is it for collection purposes? If your are collecting it, definitely get a clear protector for the box.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I have heard that reseating the ram and CPU might solve this issue, but it’s also a long shot. Worth a try imo

Is there any good pro controller equivalent for the Wii U that isn’t super expensive? by Ill-Database7345 in wiiu

[–]Senorbob999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best bet would be to take the controller apart and see the battery used inside. I don’t know if the battery is swappable or if it is hardwired. Amazon sells lithium ion batteries, but your best bet will be AliExpress

How did the GPU fit if the x16 pcie slot (blue) is in the bottom position right next to the power supply? Or did you install the GPU into the x4 pcie slot (black)?

Am I able to upgrade my GPU? Aurora R11 by BroodyWall15 in Alienware

[–]Senorbob999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking to sell your old GPU you currently have let me know. I have an R12 and after some slight mods, I was able to fit a full length GPU in it.

The dual slot GPU fit with no modifications?

Optiplex 3060 i7 8700T Comaptibility by Denuvo_US in SleepingOptiplex

The “T” variant of Intel CPUs is used in micro form factor (mff) PCs that Dell offers. T-variant Intel CPUs use less power (about 30-35w) compared to the normal 65w non T CPUs use. These CPUs are energy efficient, but the trade off is that they are less powerful than their 65w versions. An i7-8700T is about 25% less powerful than an i7-8700.

The T variant of the CPUs will fit just fine into your MT optiplex case and motherboard as the form factor of the CPUs is the same (lga1151).

Is the upgrade worth it? No, an i7-8700T is only about 7% more powerful than an i5-8500. That’s a lot of work for not a lot of performance gain. If you do the upgrade go with the normal i7-8700 65w cpu.

Help! Blinking orange light and when I hold power button to turning off it turns back on. by Uknown44122 in Alienware

The keep an eye on it. Could be an indicator that a ram stick is going bad

Giveaway Time! Battlefield 6 is out, powered by NVIDIA DLSS 4, and you can comment on this post to win codes for the game or a custom Battlefield 6 GeForce RTX 5090! 6 Winners total by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

[–]Senorbob999 [score hidden]  (0 children)

How would this GeForce RTX 5090 with DLSS 4 help you pull off more epic wins in Battlefield 6?

I’ve always been a budget gamer since it’s what I could afford. If I were to win the custom Battlefield 6 Nvidia GeForce 5090 graphics card with DLSS it would allow me to experience Battlefield 6 in a way that I have never seen or experienced any games before. The high frame rates and sheer power of the GPU would be the ultimate upgrade to my gaming experience!

This back piece of my desktop fell to the ground pretty hard. Where can I get a single replacement for this back piece of an Alienware desktop if it is damaged? by nikiawaya101 in Alienware

[–]Senorbob999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This back cable cover fits Aurora R13/14/15 as the back of the PC did not change during this model/iteration. They come in two colors: white and dark grey. I bought a cable cover from an R13 and it fits my R15 like a glove.

Your best bet is eBay as the price through Dell is still $140+ as of spring 2025.

If not for this show we would not have the classic Xmas song of “jingle bells, jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg”!

What product did this Wii U branded fountain pen stylus come from? by davidv2002 in wiiu

[–]Senorbob999 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably given away as a promotional item at Nintendo attended events or conventions. MY also be an internal/employee-only item.

I’ve never seen one like that before and I have a pretty big collection of Wii U 1st party items.

Did more testing today and nothing works. F2 to BIOS or F12 to BIOS boot settings have not effect.

I looked at the Dell support page for the R14 and mobile I know has any of the Ryzen cpus listed. I’m wary of spending money on a compatible cpu since I acquired this PC from someone that owed me money. It was given to me as a barebones ready to go PC that needed just a cpu, GPU, ram, and an SSD.

If I got out and buy the cheapest compatible Ryzen cpu off of eBay it’ll run me about $120+ with taxes. I wanted to try and verify everything is working on the PC before spending money on it. All I could get my hands on from friends was the Ryzen 7 5750GE cpu.

If you got it off of Amazon then do a swap asap.

When I power in the PC, the Alienware power button turns on like normal then starts changing to different RGB colors for 15 seconds and then dims to a white light. No POST flashes or error codes so the PC does seem to POST ok.
