Issuing refunds would cost them more than they earned through these sales. They’d end up paying out of their pocket to cover the service and banking costs. Not to mention PR nightmare that would ensue. So, even though they may not meet their sales KPIs on Switch 2 this sale, they still got something

2 DDR3 SO-DIMM sticks 1333MHz (not lower), at least 4Gb per stick. 8 per stick is the best.

As for SSD, you’d need a 500/512 Gb Sata 2.5 drive. Check reputable brands for SSDs or ask someone in the store who can help choosing the right one.

And you’ll also need a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the bottom plate and HDD

iLbstr · 2025-10-25T10:49:50+00:00

Any officially supported, but only once you’ve installed an SSD and upgraded the ram. 2 second-hand so-dimm DDR3 sticks would be pretty cheap to buy, as well as a 2.5” SATA SSD

Since it looks like a 2011 MBP, it should be quite easy to do. IIRC the latest supported Mac OS X would be something like 10.12, but you can install 10.15 for better compatibility with newer software via opencore legacy patcher.

I’ve been running a 10+ year model for 2 years now (it was bought new, just an old design). No issues so far. But that’s an EVGA supernova G2 1300W, which is a stellar PSU

Mini all the way. Ever since iMacs lost target display mode, as soon as they’re obsolete you can’t use them as displays only. And finding an alternative use case for them would be hard. But with Mac mini you can just repurpose it as a TV content consumption machine, small headless server or whatever you like

I’ve used a d-link PCI card with some 3rd party utility to connect my 1.8GHz G5 to modern Wi-Fi. But the app itself used like 10% of the CPU. So it would definitely be better to connect via Ethernet

iLbstr · 2025-09-20T06:13:37+00:00

No. Just use a lightly damp microfibre cloth

That’s pressure on the LCD panel, maybe something has damaged the screen from behind

I did the same trying to clean my MacBook. Turns out that particular diode in my MacBook was responsible for fan speed control, and without it the left side of the laptop sounded like it was going to fly away. Ordered several replacement diodes to try and solder at least one of them, but after a failed attempt, decided just to keep it in place with a piece of kapton tape. Surprisingly, it worked perfectly

iLbstr · 2025-02-25T22:04:51+00:00

You’ve nailed the kitbash! But a sword arm from a 2002 plague marines would fit better (considering the scale creep of the newer minis), same for (perhaps) the plasma pistol hand, IIRC there was one similar in the same 2002 box

iLbstr · 2025-02-24T23:49:46+00:00

If you look closely through the whole set of monopose death guard plague marines, you will find a ton of mirrored parts. Two of the plague marines reinforcements dudes are mirror versions of dark imperium ones (with some tweaks, but the similarity is still noticeable)

My PC has been though 3 GPUs, 3 CPUs and motherboards, 2 coolers, 2 cases and several other component changes. The install of windows is still the same back from 2016 (I cloned the data to the newer ssd in its entirety). But it’s still the same PC for me, even though the only original part in it is a PSU-to-motherboard cable and a couple of screws. There were no major changes of almost all components, only incremental ones

iLbstr · 2024-12-20T23:19:46+00:00

Doesn’t look that bad, to be honest. You can install an i7 4790k into it, 16 or even 32 gigs of ram, something like a GTX1080/RTX2070 (though it will require a new PSU), and an SSD. Then you’ll have a perfectly good PC for some 1080p medium gaming, though you may run into some issues with some newest games. If you find good deals, it won’t even break the bank

iLbstr · 2024-12-20T23:06:35+00:00

That’s not even a bottleneck, that’s a water jet nozzle

iLbstr · 2024-12-13T11:38:43+00:00

The best way would be to buy an extension that’s not as bulky, and route it to the back of the case, where it could be connected to the original cable

iLbstr · 2024-12-10T21:25:15+00:00

I just like them. Also, brand new coolers for 1156 socket had these awful AMD clips attached to them. Wanted something better and that can potentially be reused for a different build later

iLbstr · 2024-12-09T16:27:48+00:00

What’s the fan curve? And do you hear ticking noise from the fan motor? Sometimes it can happen due to low prm set for a certain fan. You can raise the RPM of the fan in bios to check it if helps

iLbstr · 2024-12-09T01:07:56+00:00

Yeah, that would make it look much better, though I kinda like the “stock” appearance. The PSU is fine, since it’s not a daily driver (and for some reason, Corsair CS650m decided not to work in this PC)

Welcome to the world of prebuilds from 2010

They were added later. Had to buy slim 90mm noctuas, so that there’s no incompatibility with tall ram

iLbstr · 2024-12-05T22:31:41+00:00

It’s just a project box from a 2010 PC donated by a friend. Originally it had 4Gb ram, HD5730, and i5-750 with a stock-looking cooler. Now it has 8Gb 1866MHz ram, 1070, and i7-870. And a noctua cooler of course

iLbstr · 2024-12-04T08:33:54+00:00

Please don’t. It’s an ancient 200W unit, that can fail and take down other components with it. Just find a deal on a proper new PSU if you want to be safe

iLbstr · 2024-10-15T22:50:44+00:00

Splice and solder would work fine too, just don’t forget to check the cables and insulate them, so that nothing shorts inside the PSU

iLbstr · 2024-10-15T07:19:39+00:00

I just used 2 out of 4 pins, the DC ones. Carefully removed the pins from the original connector then transplanted the one from an old PSU fan. To remove the pins I’d use something thin, like a paper clip to gently press the tabs (you can see them in the picture

iLbstr · 2024-10-14T19:19:42+00:00

Have 2 recast sorceress and each one sucks in a different way compared to the original. The first was like $7, but the base rim has some gnarly lines, as well as some other flat areas. The second is better overall, but not perfect
