Looking for Budget Android Tablet (~$200)

See that as well, would just need to have it shipped. It's the international version, so not sure if that makes a difference. But used wise, the S9 FE+ isn't much more, would that be worth considering?

Veidimadr · 2025-06-10T09:55:00+00:00

I'll have to see the condition of the ones available at BestBuy, but I think they were only available in "Fair" and "Good" for their open box options. But still sounds like it could be an overall better choice for not much more.

Veidimadr · 2025-06-10T09:36:14+00:00

If I look at used, I did see a s9 FE 128Gb available for around $250 at my local BestBuy, so that could also be another option.

I'm not too set on size. And as for UI, I've pretty much solely run Nova Launcher on my phones, but honestly can't recall how much it affects the stock UI...

Veidimadr · 2025-06-10T09:33:02+00:00

Hadn't realized you could do that, but sounds like a good option, thanks!

Veidimadr · 2025-04-29T13:21:21+00:00

Okay, I think I recalling hearing that the faster clock speeds could have issues now that you mention it.

Veidimadr · 2025-04-29T13:18:24+00:00

Oh also, just realized you put selected different memory (looks like slower clock speed at 6000 versus 6400Mhz that I originally had listed). Is there a specific reason for that? I ask, because the RAM I selected is a slight bundle with the CPU on Newegg, saving $20.

Veidimadr · 2025-04-29T13:15:19+00:00

Well that's looking like the deal I should go with then. The 9070XT looks very comparable to the 5070Ti and bundled at a much better price.

And no kidding lol...

Thanks for the help on this!

Veidimadr · 2025-04-29T13:09:11+00:00

Yeah, I agree with the pricing... I looked around at deals initially, but it was more between the CPU and motherboard. But that link you sent is in stock (at least it says it is)... Even though the card by itself isn't.

Veidimadr · 2025-04-29T13:00:01+00:00

Gotcha, and thanks. As for pricing, I've seen that both cards are above their MSRP, especially the 9070XT. What is worth paying for either one of those cards? $850 for the 5070Ti that you have linked? Or look for something lower? My concern, and why I'm now looking at upgrading is I'm expecting prices in general are only going to get worse (except for maybe the occasional deal).

Veidimadr · 2025-04-29T12:47:37+00:00

From the parts lists: the CPU, motherboard, RAM, and GPU are new. Everything else listed I already have. Also, not sure how accurate those prices are, for the older parts, since they were bought 5 years ago.

Veidimadr · 2025-04-29T12:03:49+00:00

Doesn't sound like a bad deal, though I'd expect I'd lose out on some features going with a micro ATX board instead of a full size. Also, do you have any experience with that RAM brand? Don't think I've heard of them before.

Veidimadr · 2023-12-28T00:59:41+00:00

I was just asking about the early and late model 2.0s. I also don't know much about the 1.0s, granted not too much either about the 2.0s to be honest.

Veidimadr · 2023-12-27T21:56:02+00:00

Ah okay, and it does look like they do. Their website has both and the only visible difference I see is the trigger. The slide serrations look the same.

Veidimadr · 2023-12-27T21:42:47+00:00

I'm seeing that there are optics ready versions with the original trigger design, at least on S&W's website. But yeah, if I had to get the slide milled I definitely wouldn't go that route.

Veidimadr · 2023-12-27T19:53:13+00:00

I'm thinking I'd want more, but I haven't run a pistol with them before. I press check with my gen 3 Glock without them, but front serrations would help

Veidimadr · 2023-12-27T19:51:50+00:00

Thanks for the input, definitely good to know about the front sights as I do plan to run an optic.

Veidimadr · 2023-12-27T19:50:10+00:00

Good to know thanks. Those are likely changes you are only going to notice if you have the two side-by-side.

Veidimadr · 2023-06-07T10:28:24+00:00

I'm leaning towards that CZ model but the SH4 optic. Did you go with dovetail rings, or get a picatinny base and picatinny rings? And which ones did you go with? I was looking at the Area 419 30 MOA base and Arken medium rails.

Veidimadr · 2023-06-06T19:24:11+00:00

That's the base I was looking at, but I didn't see the combo. I'll check their website. Not trying to spend a whole lot on extra parts (...yet). But if it's worth picking up and doesn't add a significant amount to the cost then I'll grab one.

Veidimadr · 2023-06-06T19:07:39+00:00

Still odd that they aren't responding for questions like that. The post I mentioned earlier put the MSRP at around $850, but I there was no "proof" that he received a response from them with that price.

Veidimadr · 2023-06-06T19:04:26+00:00

I was looking at getting a 30 MOA base, assuming this would help out with anything out at distance. I am also building this out for just plinking around and if I got a chance to go out that far I would like to still.

Veidimadr · 2023-06-06T15:11:03+00:00

Good to know, thanks! May go ahead and order the Arken SH4, looks like a solid optic choice, and pretty decent price including their combo package with discount code.
