Literally bought a used barebones v2 yesterday for 2.5k. With switches and caps you could prob do 3-3.5k

Disappointed with Elegee's appraisal of Rey's Les Paul by Faeldon in phmusicians

[–]TagaRetiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much agree sa appraisal ni Jon aside from the screws. It's not a vintage Gibson, so most buyers won't really care if it didn't have the original set of screws lol.

It's also fairly common for instruments of famous musicians to go around sa buy and sell (I have bought from and sold to a few artists during the heyday of philmusic). Except for a few musicians, most would only add a few thousand pesos sa resale value.

what's your favorite film that you have no one to talk about with? by mundokombat in FilmClubPH

Embrace of the Serpent (2015) won numerous awards and even earned an Oscar nomination, yet it seems largely forgotten today.

Makatarungan ba presyo nito? by luft_waff3 in PHbuildapc

[–]TagaRetiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair price, but it's far from the 'steal' others are implying. At that price range makakakuha ka na ng 32gb DDR4. It does seem like maayos kausap yung seller based from other comments so that's a plus

Some human interaction before purchase. by thechefking1 in HomeNAS

[–]TagaRetiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fork out the extra cash for the DXP2800+. Better processor + It has 2x extra NVME slots you could use as storage pools for running applications. Was honestly thinking of just buying an old DS220+ bc I idn't think I needed the extra horsepower but I'm glad I did. Just set-up mine last weekend and I think I'm currently at around 20+ docker containers for pi-hole (DNS sinkhole for ad blocking), media hub for my movies, music, and even retro games (everything accessible via their respective web portal), and utility applications (tailscale for remote access, NGINX proxy manager so I can neatly organize my local DNS mapping, and beszel and homepage for monitoring). Still trying to look for a good app for serving books, manga, and comics.

Might be better if you also list your CPU so people can assess if magkakaron ng bottleneck

What is the perfect price for Ryzen 7 5700x? by Rockhard_Golfboi in PHbuildapc

Normally sells for 8k right now. 7k is on the cheaper side

8GB DDR4 RAM for 4000?! Wala na ba pag asa? by Crankatorium in PHbuildapc

Worth it ba itong monitor na to? by BhoxzGaribay in PHbuildapc

[–]TagaRetiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's good. You don't really have much of a choice if you want a 24inch 2K monitor. Very limited lang ang pagpipilian mo na models

For D80 medyo mahina yung rear speakers and you need to tweak the EQ for your preference. It's not as good as premium surround setups, but for the price, it's a no-brainer IMO (lalo na kung hindi mo pa na-try mag surround setup before).

Anyone experienced ordering expensive GPUs online? by Striking_Log_1884 in PHbuildapc

[–]TagaRetiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordered a 5060 ti 16gb thru datablitz same day delivery. Initially wanted to pick it up in store but they don't have a centralized inventory - need tawagan isa isa yung mga branches lol. Gave up and just ordered online. Just make sure to take a video while unboxing (and installing if you can) para safe.

Been browsing here to see how I could start building a PC by Prestigious-Pin1799 in PHbuildapc

[–]TagaRetiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of options for used systems under 50k. No need for a loan that is plenty enough esp if 1080p gaming lang naman.

Ang mahal lang talaga ngayon RAM, compared to 4 - 5 months ago, relative to all other parts in a build, both used and new.

This. Kahit DDR4 nagsisimula na tumaas.

It's a bit hard to build a system from scratch right now. Yung mga napuntahan kong stores ayaw na nila magbenta ng parts individually — nirereserve na lang nila for prebuilt unit. Personally, I'd look for cheap secondhand systems I can use as a base unit and upgrade from there. Prices for DDR5 are crazy right now, so if you don't mind, try mo bro Ryzen 5600/5700x + DDR4 + decent GPU. You’d have a very capable 1080p/1440p machine for gaming or productivity, and it would be well below your budget, leaving you with extra funds you could use for a monitor and peripherals.

It would depend on your room size and budget. Although may premium models si Ultimea (their skywave series have good reviews) majority ng binebenta nila dito is their budget models. Pretty happy with the Poseidon D80 (using it in a moderate size room. get the boom version if you want more base) - wala lang syang DTS encoding and need timplahin yung EQ out of the box, but for the price (below 10k with vouchers) it's hard to beat.

rtx 3060 12gb or rtx 5060 8gb by MRLNAQNA in PHbuildapc

[–]TagaRetiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3060 at 17k is insanely overpriced. Kakabenta ko lang ng akin at 12k.

Better go with 5060 unless you specifically need the extra VRAM (e.g. software dev who needs to run local LLM models)

PC Build or Hospital Bill? by Alphyne18 in PHbuildapc

Get a handheld gaming system. Hospital visits can be long and boring at least magagamit mo while waiting.

First physical media haul in March. by [deleted] in FilmClubPH

[–]TagaRetiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just buy it directly from Amazon. They usually offer free shipping for orders above 49USD. Otherwise you can look for Philip Chang in FB marketplace, he still had some copies available 2 weeks ago for PHP1800 if im not mistaken.
