    Build Advice Music production/engineering PC build - thoughts and advice

    The exact model has a few different letters (SPR-600AH2NK-2), but I figure that's just different market naming. What shocks me is that pretty much all stores here (and private vendors) that sell pre-configured and already assembled builds put some dumpster PSUs like IG-Max (not even Raidmax or...

    Build Advice Music production/engineering PC build - thoughts and advice

    Thanks for answering. Using these calculators, Corsair's has shown 350-360W would be used and Newegg's put it in between 400-499 watts. 600/650W I've mentioned seems like an overkill (especially when their efficiency is at least 80%) and I'm not crazy for modular cables. The link you sent shows...

    Build Advice Music production/engineering PC build - thoughts and advice

    Hello everyone. As the title says, I will be building a PC (for the first time in my life) primarily for music production/sound work and occasionally some light/amateur Photoshop (not including basic everyday tasks like browsing obviously). For the past month I've been intensively informing...

    Question Cutting the case's metal

    Thanks for the replies folks, but damn, that just seems like too hard. Possible butchering of my computer makes me rethink selling this cars... Is it possible to disconnect the VGA (since it's the one that cause trouble) and then use HDMI to VGA adapter? Maybe that'd be much easier?

    Question Cutting the case's metal

    that's what I thought, to remove that piece of metal bar from the slot where I'd put the gpu (around 2cm). I'm not a PC expert and honestly a bit scared and insecure of removing the motherboard, so I figured to put a cloth or nylon over interior to cover it from metal scraps and dust, do you...

    Question Cutting the case's metal

    I googled this dremel tool and it costs like 40-50 euros... I live in a country where I simply can't afford to buy this only for this one purpose, not even used. I'm not even a craftsman, so it'd be laying in the toolbox for nothing... Thank you for recommendation, but I think I'll have to stick...

    Question Cutting the case's metal

    I considered it, but then the VGA port would be hanging loosely, and that's the one I need in order to connect the GPU to my monitor... Plus, is it even possible to screw in the VGA port on the cable if there would be no lid on the GPU?

    Question Cutting the case's metal

    Me being an idiot, I forgot to take pics when the PC was opened, I plugged it back so I could write this thread. I guess I'll post pics tomorrow when I plug out and open the PC again. The problem is not the body of the card, but the output panel (DVI, HDMI and VGA) and its lid which is simply...

    Question Cutting the case's metal

    Hello everyone, I need some quick help. I've got an HP 8200 SFF for some years now and bought a low profile GPU (Inno3D GT740). Now, the trouble is following: it seems I mismeasured the GPU and space in case, so my GPU's I/O shield/bracket can't make it all the way through the outputs (there's a...

    Help with clean install of Windows 10

    I don't want to sound offensive, but considering that I live in a country where average (and usual) monthly salary is 300$, I can't just go straight away and buy a 50-60$ HDD, and as much as it sounds silly, the PC parts/peripherals and electronics in general are more expensive here than in...

    Help with clean install of Windows 10

    Thanks for the replies. I opened the guide you sent, got to the partition part but there it says that it's the best and recommended to select and delete partitions one by one, which means everything from hard drive is gone. Then again, you said that I could be unlucky and end up with some...

    Help with clean install of Windows 10

    Hi everyone, I need answers as soon as possible so any kind of help is appreciated. I've had problems with my OS (Win 10) for a while now which I'm not going to mention and count as I have decided to do a clean install of it (Win 10), NOT upgrade. However, there is a problem. My PC has a...

    Graphics card doesn't work

    Hello everyone. I recently bought a used GTX 650 Ti Boost and brought it to PC service so they could install it in my PC. It was advertised as working and tested. But, they said that the GPU isn't working correctly. Here's what they reported: The GPU works for 10-15 mins, but makes the whole PC...
