Hi all, I found what seems to be an insane deal on 16gb sticks of RAM on eBay. I don't really need that much memory, but it's hard to pass up 16gb for $22... But this was server RAM. I've been out of the PC game for a while so I don't know how to check compatibility. Can I use it? Link to the...

Hi everyone! I got my new S9 today from Samsung's website, but it is an AT&T branded device. I put my old sim card in it, but WiFi calling was not working. So I went to the store to have the new sim card activated and voila! WiFi calling now works. However, one of the main reasons I bought an...

I suppose my followup question would be is it feasible to leave it plugged in via USB 3.0 and just use it for storage, not applications? Or would it still be noticeable slower than internally?

He sent me a picture of the side, but all I can see is "Seagate Backup Plus Hub" and I remember him telling me it is 8tb. Since he has an iMac, I'm assuming this is it: https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-External-Desktop-Storage-STEL8000100/dp/B01JS7OJG6?th=1

Thanks for the answers, guys! I just asked him if he knows the model, I'll let y'all know if he tells me. The plan for the build is a 256gb SSD for the OS (the plan is for it to be a hackintosh) and for applications, then the hard drive would be used for footage (he will be using the PC for...

Hi! I'm putting together a PC build for a friend of mine. He has an 8tb external hard drive that he is currently using on his 5k iMac for storage. He realized the iMac isn't built for video editing, so I'm making him a PC and realized we could save a decent chunk of cash if we remove the 8tb...

I'm building a $2,000 video editing PC for a friend of mine. He will be using Adobe Premiere and other Adobe products. I'm getting him an i7 5820k, 32gb RAM, and I'm unsure about what video card to use. It seems like the video card shouldn't be a big deal with this, so I put in a 960. Would he...

Hey! A friend of mine is now an LSU Football videographer/video editor. He has an iMac 5k, but as you can guess he's having some issues video editing with that build. He's given me a budget of $2k to build him a kickass video editing rig, so I'd like some advice on the build I created...

They probably hate you.

Thank you Solandri! I just feel safer having the i5, then, so that I have the option of taking on heavier workloads for longer (especially because I don't know what I want to major in yet). So I think I'll stick with that one. Especially with a 512gb SSD for $750?! That's surprising to me and I...

Alright! I just ordered the i5 version, it'll be in on Wednesday. But I'm $50 under my parent's allowed budget, so they said I could use the $50 to get any accessories I may need. Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe a sleeve like this...
