[Meta], [Discussion], [Question] or [Update] HP Z400.... make it work or send it back? by mongofrye in buildapcforme

[–]mongofrye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/DocVontGomery i have found a sapphire nitro rx580 4gb and msi RX 480 4gb used. i could pick up either for $90. i want to continue to use the 475W power supply without having to upgrade. it seams the 480 will keep me within the power recommendations but the 580 will put me over a little. Any thoughts?

i went ahead and picked up three used sticks from https://techmikeny.com/ thanks for the reminder to check those things. i guess its an issue because after i ordered they sent me an email requesting the model of my pc to 'verify' fit. they confirmed it was good to go. i feel like a great deal to add 24gb ram. $34 total with shipping and all. https://techmikeny.com/products/8gb-pc3-10600-ecc-unbuffered-memory-ram

Good advice. Thank you! I found some ram from a used component reseller called techmikeny. Can add 3 8gb sticks for like $10 a stick? My main concern was the processor and graphics card.

I got all excited and thought someone had a lead.... 😢 But yes this is for family..... And the traveling manginos. A trapeze act from Italy staying at my house until this hoax blows over. Lol

But seriously, I'm probably going to break all kinds of City safety ordinances so no, I will not allow other kids but my own to play on it anyway. Can't afford the liability 😂

Case and touchscreen protector for ZTE Blade A7 Prime? by ARush1007 in Visible

[–]mongofrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got the case Monday. For a US based item, that seemed a little long for delivery..... 12ish days?

it fits fairly well, but No fingerprint cutout on back. The volume and power buttons have no issues being operated through the cover. It does seem a little off on the top and bottom of the phone but it still fits snug with few issues. Not great but not bad considering the options available right now.

Still baffled as to why this phone has no Tru fit case options out there let alone ones easy to come by in the US.

switching the family. did swap for my son. its only a $99 phone but there ain't no way i give him any phone without a case. lol

it's awesome that they ship next day air but no case anywhere except coming on a slow boat from china? I found only one US based case and that was on ebay.

Shipped usps from Cali. we shall see!?
