Awesome, I so much like using a puter vs anything else when it comes to net browsing. I need a new one, Im still on XP lol.



If you're looking for something for it, I love this corner desk I have, doesnt take up much room and very functional. I have a lot of dragons, wizards, and Lord of the Rings stuff on tthe top shelf lol.

I use my phone and lap too (more convenient) but the kid needs it for school.  Since I didnt havent up, she hasnt done as much research...so it needs to be up and running.  



I moved my living room around so I cant see the TV anymore from the kitchen.....I can now see the PC screen from the kitchen, so I can watch  music videos or other stuff while cooking, not that it's a big deal...I'm just happy about the printer back in use and I need it for some programs I plan on working on.

Sort of.  I'm fully comfy with the place now it took me a while to get use to....I lived in my last place for 9 years.  I'm done rearranging the furnature, I'm now comfortable with the set up and slowly decorating, I'm into a new look.



I'm dying for spring to come cause there is so much I want to do with my balcony! I'm so excited for this year! This huge balcony will be my first summer on it....I'm excited!!

I find it relaxing in the evening to browse at my computer at home with a cup of tea.

My situation allows .. in fact demands .. use of full blown computer most all the time



I bought what was about the best around 6 years ago and it is still a screamer as processors  have not become much faster past few years.

I got an Asus which of course gives it the Asus motherboard all the good ones use, with I7 processor and added a Solid State Drive, SSD, before taking delivery (that is blinding fast and very cheap speed I'd highly recommend)



As I'm always multitasking, I sprung for a new screen last year - LG curved ultrawide 29" .. . not huge but very  wide with LG's "mild" curve so that it doesn't feel like the ends are running away from me



No problem justifying it all as for our work we need speed and screen area - It pays to buy a good machine and up to speed if you use it hard and want it to last - It runs like most of the newest and fastest, so was good investment so far



I never use phone or other toys for internet

I recently bought a canon color laser printer with cartridges incl from Staples for about $200 Canadian.thats about $ 150 us which was a smashingly good deal. Shoulda cost 3x that amt



Trouble is I don't have a computer new enoughto run it so hopefully another mac may do the trick

Regardless of whether or not the recipients of Joe's infantile barbs are offender or not, he seems to be making a habit of using personal health issues as a means of defending himself against the vitriol he fully deserves.



I think he's learned this craft from Freud, a renowned exponent of personal information insults.

well...I posted on topic related to the original post not to make war.



If ihj chooses to make personal insults & hit below the belt then he should expect to receive the same back.



he should stop hiding behind cc' s skirt or the auspices of an ex cop if he wants to make his point.



I tried to stay on topic so why does not ihj?



this was supposed to be a thread about personal computers not a personal feud.



in reality posts which are intended as unprovoked personal attacks or insults on others belong in a reject rodeo not the main forum.

Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"I just use my android phone.

I just use my phone too. My laptop gets the light once a week.

I find it relaxing in the evening to browse at my computer at home with a cup of tea.

My situation allows .. in fact demands .. use of full blown computer most all the time



I bought what was about the best around 6 years ago and it is still a screamer as processors  have not become much faster past few years.

I got an Asus which of course gives it the Asus motherboard all the good ones use, with I7 processor and added a Solid State Drive, SSD, before taking delivery (that is blinding fast and very cheap speed I'd highly recommend)



As I'm always multitasking, I sprung for a new screen last year - LG curved ultrawide 29" .. . not huge but very  wide with LG's "mild" curve so that it doesn't feel like the ends are running away from me



No problem justifying it all as for our work we need speed and screen area - It pays to buy a good machine and up to speed if you use it hard and want it to last - It runs like most of the newest and fastest, so was good investment so far



I never use phone or other toys for internet




Hell yeah



My PC must be a mean mofo too or I'm not happy in life



Mine is far from being the most up to date, but I don't feel like I should spend one more cent on it right now, except for maybe a little more SSD storage and a new monitor



I have a Z97-K with an i7 4790, 16 gigs



256 SSD + 3 Tb of normal drives. Only thing I might add in a near future is another SSD, they're finally cheap(er) here



My NVIDIA GTX 1070 is the crown jewel of the setup. All inside a Corsair 600C, powered by a 900-watt Rocketfish PSU



My screen is an old LG 22 LED TV/Monitor, which I might retire. I might try one of those 4k, but nothing bigger than 24"



As long as I can crank any game to maximum settings on 1920 x 1080, I'm happy
Title: Re: Finally set up my computer...
Post by: cc on February 11, 2019, 09:32:45 PM
That's no slug, mate .. SSD, lots o ram  and pretty strong processor

BTW - great to see you again

ONly thing I hated was the new interface, that bunch of crap that opens.



I got used to the Start Button / Menu the way it was until Windows 7



I skipped Windows 8 entirely, so I never got acquainted with the new look



That can be solved by installing Classic Shell. Windows 10 with the original Start Menu from Windows 7

Well since ya asked....



I'm in the market for another computer



Possibly an older used Mac Pro Tower with a 12 core Xeon.

I recently bought a canon color laser printer with cartridges incl from Staples for about $200 Canadian.thats about $ 150 us which was a smashingly good deal. Shoulda cost 3x that amt



Trouble is I don't have a computer new enoughto run it so hopefully another mac may do the trick


Thats what I use at work, a Mac tower. But its so old now, that its outdated, and cant even get Firefox updates. Same with my XP at home lol.


If you don't mind me asking, what is the year, processor speed and number of cores on your machine at work?



Someone told me that the 2012 Westermere 3.46 2 processor 12 core Mac Pro model was pretty good.



And he upgraded the video card to manipulate 4k photos/images



I saw something like it on eBay:



https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mac-Pro-5-1-12-Core-3-46-GHZ-16GB-RAM-240GB-SSD-1TB-GT-120-High-Sierra-5-1/273693533271?hash=item3fb967e457:g:YcEAAOSwIzBaxZ-q



I've also heard thst of you add a solid state drive they can go twice as fast.



Not sure about eBay tho & if once it arrives it'll be any good



Rather buy from a local owner of possible
