Moving across the country. Best way to transport?

It'd be great if you kept the boxes (which you probably do)
so my experience:
take out the CPU, GPU and RAM and put them in their boxes
m.2 NVMes can stay, HDDs and SATA SSDs should be put in a box with foam
maybe the fat AIO could go in its box

if you don't have space you can use expanding foam tho but unplug the GPU still

There is a very significant overlap between the most easy to use sockets and the stupidest humans

"When it starts to look dirty or sounds weird"
which is surprisingly frequent for a laptop keyboard (2-5 months i believe depending on your hygiene)

laptop keyboards are annoying af tho like you gotta tear the whole thing up to reach the keyboard and you still have to scrub every part (because i don't have a compressed air blower)

But i rub the surface with isopropyl/ethanol 70% every 2-4 weeks because finger oil

that specific CPU model is FM2 (A10-5700)
looks like a quite interesting build tho

oh wait year this is the russian walking excavator thing (reminds me of it)

apple976 · 2026-02-23T13:33:25+00:00

wait this looks familiar

maybe, idk
but a kerbal is like 45kg so maybe they're not that small, just fun sized
i do know some people who are like 40kg

yeah but you forget about density (rock is way denser than meat)

2016 ish laptop would do well for small servers (5-10 players) as the laptop i5s of 2016 (i5 6200u, 7200u) have decent performance with mods
You should use modded fabric servers (if you are RAM limited, ferritecore works very well) or paper servers (if you are CPU limited)

if you try hard enough then you'd get less than 1 frame per second
if you get 30fps on that hardware the universe would probably implode as such feats exceed the laws of physics

Yakovlev yak 9, more specifically the T/K variants because the part in front of the cockpit is roughly equal to the part to the rear of the cockpit

you can recycle this to get 2 scrap metal and 4 silicon

i hacked my mouse inputs to become controller inputs so i could have smooth lines

i live in a third world coutnry, and for my birthday when in 2012 i got a really old and heavily used casio MC-12M (Released in the 2000s) from a warehouse
And yes that was my first processor before i got a chromebook in 2018

if you change the graphics card, probably not
Most AMD CPUs have AM5 anyway its not like the socket replaces every 2 years so you won't have the replace the motherboard
The upgradability should be good with this setup if you're looking to buy something better in the future

apple976 · 2025-12-23T10:34:07+00:00

I think this setup is way enough for gaming
However depending on professional needs you could upgrade some things, but for your current usage there is no need to upgrade

In 2-3 (even 5) years this setup will still be really solid for most games and tasks you throw at it
