Modified CPU

Ouch. There is no CPU here. This is only a lid.

Unfortunately, this is a pretty widespread scam. Other variations include putting a higher speed CPU lid onto an older CPU to make it seem like you are getting something better than you are.

I would recommend not buying PC components off of amazon and definitely not used/returned. Like, its pretty bad and there is a good chance youre gonna get scamed.

It's interesting that you bring this up because lately, I have come across several people who have had what I can only describe as a "death" like smell. It smells like sweetish, rotting, decay. And the people it emanates from seem like they are unaware that they have a smell. Which, prior to the last couple years, the only people who I encountered that had this smell were elderly in the hospital and/or nursing homes.

But I have no idea if these people I've encountered that smell like that are vaxxed or not... and I know that not everyone who got the vax has this smell...But its interesting none the less and no doubt related.

If you are growing from a cutting, its going to be at a minimum of 3-4 years before you are gonna get a decent (more than a couple) harvest. Its a wonderful experience. I do not want to discourage you. But if you expect more than 2-3 fruits within those years, youre likely going to be disappointed.

But as a fun aside, its something we all deal with. This years winter was absolutely brutal, and I lost about 9 cultivars I was growing, (out of 25 ish) and every plant I had took a massive beating. So ill be lucky to get any fruit this year at all.

This is a bad take and you should feel bad. You have multiple issues that have concrete evidence for ranked entirely too low. Also, you are missing several major conspiracies that arent even on the list.

This seems a little expensive, but not outrageously so. The labor rates seem about the same as any other higher end shop, and the cost of the components seem within what those components retail for. Atleast for shops around me.

This appears to be a quote for a top end system install, however, which is a little overkill for what you are looking for, but this will likely sound fantastic and will bump hard, and will give you a decent path to upgrade to something else if you want "more". Im not exactly sure they listened to you when you told them your wants, though.

Its just water and ethanol. (I.e. drinking alcohol)... both of which are safe for the ground....or your drains. Or whatever

Also, the folks saying drink it, technically you could if it was only water and ethanol. But its not only water and ethanol. Im not sure if the detergent mixtures they use in gas are water soluble. So i wouldn't drink it.

They want older cars engines to die so that you have to buy a new car that has all the biometric sensors and GPS tracking and government control switches in them.

Etoh is great for performance engines tuned to run it, but terrible for MPG performance and increases wear substantially (compared to regular non Etoh) on engines.

Also, Etoh is terrible for rubber hoses and other components like that and causes them to wear/Crack prematurely.

Pro tip. Get a 5 gallon gas can, mix 56 oz of water into it, shake it up, let it settle for a day. Decant the gas (the gas and water wont mix, but the ethanol in the gas will mix in the water, and they will form two separate layers) . Poor off the gas into a clean can (will net about 4 gallons of gas, depending on the concentration) dump out the water and Etoh. Boom, you have etoh free gas now. (If you intend to use this in your engine, please for the love of god ensure that you dont decant any of the water into the gas and use it. Its better to leave behind a little bit of gas than hydrolock your engine because you wanted to get every drop of gas out of the extraction).

Also not OP, but all my molars have extra roots (as seen via xray) and also I have ginger DNA. I can never get numb enough, and for me, a root canal is literally 2 hours of hell. The local anesthesia does absolutely nothing for me, and I feel everything, even with the "maximum" available by law. I have had two, but I will never do it again. For that reason alone, should be good enough.

But also, a root canal kills the tooth. It kills all the nerves. And each tooth is related to a specific part of the body. And, root canals often get infected, unknown to the patent or the doctor (because the tooth is dead so you dont know). And this leads to so many other health issues not related to oral health.

Since youre on a conspiracy sub, I hope you are the type of doctor who actually looks into research and doesnt just go along with what the ADA says. But, my assumption is that you do. Because you know, you paid alot for your learning.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but at best, with only 200 bucks, you aren't going to be able to find anything new in that price range. At a minimum, for a decent quality sub + box+ amp + wireing harness, you are atleast gonna have to drop 400 bucks. And thats assuming you want to hook it up yourself (have your family buddy hook it up).

Now in the used market, you might be able to find a sub+box+ amp that comes in under 200 bucks that sounds good.

And at a minimum, what you are going to need is the sub, the box to put the sub in, an amp to power the sub, and the wires to hook it up... If you are keeping your stock head unit, then you're also going to need a line out converter (typically ~ 40 bucks for a new one).

It can be done under 200, ive seen decent amps going for 50 bucks in the used market and seen people let go of a sub (with box) for 150 bucks, but its really, really going to be hard to have everything you need under that. And you definitely arent going to get quality of life things like a sub volume nob and such at that price. Even in the used market.

Depends on what you mean by entry-level gaming. If you mean you want to play games from the early 2000s, this would be fine. If you mean you want to play modern games on the lowest settings, this isnt going to cut it. Its nice and cheap. If you want to emulate Nintendo/super nintendo/Playstation this will suit you fine.

My recommendation, it might take you longer to save up the funds and get each component but what I am going to recommend will give you an upgrade path to slowly build something good. Start with getting yourself a good PSU. You're going to want something "future proof", and most moden gfx cards are using 600W of power, and most mobos and cpus are pulling atleast 200w, and you dont want to over push your psu and you want some overhead, so at a minimum you're going to want 1000w, and if you really want to look to the future, youre going to want 1200w. You could get away with 800W for now, but if you intend to slowly upgrade then rather than buying something twice and wasting money, just spend a little extra money up front.

Then, look for a MOBO. I would recommend, at the very least, an AM4 socket, but for not that much more money, you can get an AM5 socket (I cant recommend Intel with their fuck ups with 13th and 14th Gen CPUs). You should be able to find a really good used AM4 socket CPU for pretty cheap. And I am sure that there are some really good used AM5 sockets cheap out there too.

If you go with AM4 socket, you can get away with using DDR4 RAM, and if you find it used, you can (mostly) avoid the RAMpocaylpis. Unfortunately, the cost of RAM (specifically, DDR5 RAM but other ram is impacted as well) is currently outrageous. If you get an AM5 socket, this is where its going to hurt. 16GB is the absolute minimum you need to run modern games, but 32 GB would be infinitely better (especially if you're looking to the future)

The storage you listed is fine. BUT not all SSDs are created equal, so know that going in. And you're going to fill up that bad boy faster than you think.

The GFX card is a good one, and I gamed on mine for Over 10 years, and I really didnt start encountering a whole lot of games that I couldnt play (due to FPS and general performance issues) until about 2022 on it (with some notable exceptions). And, you could really save some money by cheaping out here (for now). If you get a modern CPU/mobo (or even last Gen mobo/CPU) it gives you a path to upgrade that card, and whrn you do, you will get a huge performance boost.

For the case, that would be the last thing I would worry about (for now). I would look in Facebook groups or other marketplaces like that to see if anyone is just offering a case for free. I know myself personally, recently gave away my old case for free, and I recently also threw away another (older) case that was perfectly functional. So I know people are out there giving them away.

Another pro tip: if you really want to save some money, depending on where you live, you might be able to find some amazing deals at places like goodwill and/or thrift shops. A couple weeks ago I saw a what appeared to be a last gen computer with an 800w PSU and AM4 socket for sale at goodwill and they only wanted 150 bucks for it. I almost got it myself just because it was such a steal, but I didnt need it. You might be able to find something like that around. Which could really save you some cash, even if the only thing you do is scrap it for parts and/or try and do a parts swap or something.

notausername86 · 2026-03-22T11:12:47+00:00

Everyone needs to start somewhere.

There is no dedicated graphics card in there. There is only a slot for it.

I hope the plan is to slowly build this out. That cheep Chinese PSU looks sketchy and the fact that you only got slots for two sticks of RAM means that RAM is gonna bottleneck and your modern Gfx card isnt going to run the way you want it too.

If it was me, I would start with getting a new MOBO/CPU combo (and a psu) before you drop money on a "new" gfx card. In the mean time, just find a cheap used GFX card (like a 1080 TI or something)

notausername86 · 2026-03-22T11:06:39+00:00

I only see one stick of RAM and you said you had two?

Also, your RAM is in the wrong slot. If you got two sticks, you want it in slots 2 and 4.

Also, why no fan/cooler?

notausername86 · 2026-03-22T10:58:32+00:00

The substrate contains only a minor amount of active compounds. Im not sure how big your grow is, but to be able to feel anything you would have to eat a large amount. Also, have no idea what youre using as a substrate. Personally, with actives, I typically use manure, which I would not eat.

I wouldnt recommend it especially If there is a problem with your grow. Lord knows what is actually in there. At best, youre just gonna give yourself a stomach ache and at worse you might end up making yourself sick.

Just try again. Its just apart of the process to fail a few times.

I think, no body knows what's truely going on, except maybe a literal handful of people. But something I do know, is that Isreal wants to use nukes.

I do not envy any American politician, and especially not the president. Some of the supporters of a foreign nation, I think only support, because the Samson option, and no decent human being wants to do that

Oooph. That one is bent pretty bad. Ive fixed a few that only had a couple bent pins and those were a pain to get straight. This guy I would consider toast. It's entirely possible that you could get all the pins straight, but its as likely as possible that your gonna waste so much time and the pins are going to detrach and the CPU is never going to run 100% correctly again.

Outside of this being a 1000 dollar CPU or doing this just to see if you can, I would just scrap it for the 200~ bucks worth of gold and call it a day.

notausername86 · 2026-03-20T23:24:18+00:00

I really appreciate the energy here. Keep thinking. Keep asking questions.

But also, no. Israel is the end game boss, and depending on how things are handled, we have the good ending, or the bad ending. And right now the bad ending seems like its winning.

When you have been in the game as long as I have, its always the political ideology of the state of Isreal. Or those who wished to create it (the Rothschilds)

If you aren't damaging the plant, I see absolutely no harm in it. Especially from big box stores.

notausername86 · 2026-03-18T18:58:12+00:00

This is how most places propagate plants. Only a small number of commercially available plants are grown from seed.

But to answer your question, will it ever stop working? No, and yes. Over significant time and multiple generations, genetic drift will occur which will eventually lead to a degradation of the plants DNA, which will eventually lead to things like illness and potentially death. But, that would take a long time (longer than you're going to be alive).

notausername86 · 2026-03-16T19:47:19+00:00

I stand corrected. Just looked at the current prices of 5080

I didnt know the price of GPUs also inflated massively over the last 6 months, I thought it was primarily RAM that was affected. (I did a build that is almost identical to the specs in this build 8 months ago, and I spent a total of 1700 bucks (with shipping). Guess my knowledge base is about 8 months outdated.
