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:

      S23 and S24 (at least ultra versions) have 4xCA NR. I currently have n41+n41+n25+n71 most places I go.  I think select devices have 2xCA upload but I do not think it is in widespread use yet. CA is still mostly download focused.

      If they use n41 + n41 2CA, people that are somewhat distant from the cell site will have an OK download but the upload will be a disaster.  Upload capability on b-41 was always a disaster on the old Sprint Network.   Now, with n25 + n41 combination, even the more distant users have a more decent upload.  I see n41 + n41 + n25 now with my S22 and I understand that we will see 4xCA with newer phones in the future.     I also see n41 + n41 + n71 sometimes too. Also some other combinations of 25, 41, 71.  I would think that eventually we will see AWS paired with n41 too.  What I am not sure of is ----  when I see 3xCA on my S22, I can see the 3 channels involved in the download but I am never sure just what I have on the upload. I do not think I have 3xCA on the upload.

      I don't know enough about the nuts and bolts of NR to know the answer, but is there a reason they're not doing two overlapping 100 MHz n41 carriers and using selective resource shutoff to make each one 97 MHz?  Thus making use of the full 194 MHz instead of leaving 4 MHz unused as implied by the current standard 100+90 configuration? - Trip

      Looks like another T-Mobile 5G bump happened over the past week and a half, maybe less: n41 carriers are now 90+100 MHz, up from 80+100 (which in turn is up from 40+100 back in early March). This is on top of the new n25 carrier recently. As part of this, it looks like T-Mobile is starting to prefer n25+n41 2CA even when pushing data, rather than having higher levels of CA that would hit higher peak speeds; at least indoors I need to force n41-only if I want to see the full 190 MHz there. To be fair the speeds are plenty quick with that amount of spectrum, and I'm sure they're load balancing, and my guess is this is a little better for battery life? With this expansion, they're now at 10x10+10x10 n25, 15x15 n71, 100+90 n41, for a total of 260 MHz (including FD uplink) of deployed NR here, up from 250 MHz a week ago, 230 MHz two weeks ago, and 190 MHz six months ago. VZW is at 140 MHz minus mmW, 170 if you count n2 DSS. AT&T is at 150 MHz (80+40 n77, 15x15 n5), 210 MHz I think if you count n2 and n66 DSS (guessing they're still running those). With this level of spectrum they should be able to continue offering home internet wherever. Guessing this is the last upgrade they can make before they need to throw new equipment on sites for C-Band. At this rate I figure that'll happen next year on a few dozen high-traffic sites.
