Custom built, never pre-built. :P

Custom built is the only way to go, I operate a small computer repair business out of my home (during the weekends only).  Who would ever buy a pre-built system, of course I always get clients that ask if the computers they are selling at Wal-Mart are a good deal  <_<......uhhhh...no.

Then that means you haven't surfed the web long enough to know how to avoid the viruses  :P

I need to inventory all the computer parts I have and build you a nice mid range PC that can be easily upgradeable in the future  :tu:

Hey people. Rule of thumb about building your own PC is that you pick what fits the budget of your build which will always be better than a prebuilt system. I'm fortunate to live around a Microcenter.com . 30 minutes from my house. But sometimes I get stuff from Newegg.com or go right to the manufacturers sights themselves like Corsair.com, in which they have specials. It all depends on the price you set for yourself and where the deals are.

Tigerdirect.com is another great place to purchase computer parts.  Thats whats so great about building your own machine, you can set the price, what you like, what you don't like.

That's the only place I shop at anymore, I have one a few miles away. :)

Not everybody has the know how to build their computer's I'm one of those. I have a book on building computer's but it is so confusing. I'm a marine tech so it's not like I don't have the skill but matching all the part's and making them work is daunting. I would like to give it a go at some point but I think I would need some help getting the right stuff. Don't think it would be a problem putting it all together might need a few tool's  for all them tiny screw's.

This is true, and it's why I really didn't like anything out there and made my own. But due to an accident (steam pipe leak spraying water everywhere in the basement) both custom made pcs were useless. Now I just use a laptop connected to multiple monitors.

Its actually pretty simple. These days you can buy the motherboard complete with the processor. In the past you had to look it up to see what was compatible with what.

As some processors come in a combo with the board, you still have to make sure you have the chip in the correct place on the socket...every one knows the golden little arrow  :lol:

      Network Vision/LTE - New York City Market

      By Paynefanbro · Posted

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and coule potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — — The old permit expired for this site without any work being done but a new permit was just approved a few days ago for a T-Mobile site at this address. Description mentions 3 antennas with 2 RRUs per sector. My guess is they're doing something similar to what they did at 360 Furman St in Brooklyn where they broadcast Band 2/66 and n25/41 from one antenna. It's a bit of a downgrade considering the site it's replacing was a full build with Ericsson 6449s.

      Came across another Crown Castle Solutions multi-tenant oDAS node in Brooklyn. Located at 40.7002286, -73.9612666. Nothing on T-Mobile or AT&T so I'm assuming these are all Verizon nodes that Crown Castle is anticipating another carrier will hop on down the line.
