Anything about PC and Laptop!!!

[1D4LV]

Thanks thanks bro. Whats the cheapest keyboard and mouse for games? Yung pang comp shop na generic ok na. Wala kwenta freebies nila. So i can still upgrade my RAM pala with comb of my current set up? And PC Table and Chair where can I buy it cheap?

And the shop I went to was JDM techno. Sila ata yung mababaot ang SA. Yung sa iba masungit. Pinaka sosyal is PCHub and i think little bit pricey sila and may bayad labor nila kapag may dala ka cpu for upgrade.

kumuha ka na lang ng mouse/keyboard combo..... i think the cheapest one will be at 800 pesos sa octagon.... hwag ka lang kukuha sa CDRKing.

tables and chairs, i got mine from HMR...

I second this. Huwag ka kukuha sa CDRKing ng mouse and keyboard. Sobrang baba ng DPi nung mouse nila and yung keyboard minsan mahirap pindutin. I bought dragonwar mouse and keyboard from DataBlitz. Not as expensive na katulad ng Razer and so far ok naman yung experience ko. (Dragonwar Offical Web Site)

500 pesos yung cheapest keyboard and mouse set na A4Tech na. I'd suggest a wireless, backlit keyboard though. Around 1k (A4Tech). Then wireless mouse din, mga 600-800. Yung akin, 900 ko lang nabili wireless KB and mouse na, pero hindi backlit yung keyboard.

Yes you can still upgrade if you bought just 1 stick of 8 GB RAM, pwede pa magdagdag since your board has 2 slots.

PC tables and chairs, sa SM marami. Or any furniture shop. HMR din for cheap surplus stuff.

Never heard of JDM techno. PCHub and PC Options lang ako usually. PC Express is a bit pricey. Gaisano Interpace mura din but kulang kulang mga offering nila. Yung iba, mga "hu u" na for me.

Congrats sa bagong desktop mo. Like them, di rin ako kumporme sa Huntkey, pero andyan na, sulitin mo nalang. I hope na nagbago na yun quality nila pagdating dito.

Kung sa keyboard at mouse, another alternative, tingin ka sa Datablitz, Elephant ata brand nun, mura mga keyboard nila at mouse. Maganda din naman quality kasi yun mouse nila na binigay ko sa pinsan ko 3 years ago eh buhay pa hanggang ngayon. PC lang nila ang kaput na.

Tatagal naman siguro ako lang gagamit nung PC. Ang advantage lang siguro ni PCHub, PCExpress is mas knowledgeable yung mga technician nila.
Another problem ko now is time pani ko pagkakasyahinnoras ko hehehe. Gusto ko sulitin yung PC.

It just occurred to me that it's been a little over 10 years since I first joined here. A before (2004) and after (2015) photos.

I think a lot of the computer guys that used to be here moved elsewhere although I'm not sure where.





The main difference is before, I had my own den. But, we had another kid since then. She now has her own room. So now, my current den is really a guest room. I have to vacate it when relatives stay over.

Thanks bro. What do mean by backlit? Sa 900 nalang siguro ako hehehe. On slot on motherboard parang tatlo ung napansin ko slots but not sure.
Re: Gaisano ansungit nung SA nila duon bwesit hehehe.



Performance tried it midnight till madaling araw maglaro ng DoTA2 seems may very minimal lag parin sakin at 3MBS pldt dsl net speed... May nabasa ako on earlier post na if morethan 20inches yung monitor ko maglalag ? Though very minimal lang lag hindi masyado mapapansin but not that smooth tulad sa shop pinaglalaruan ko.
On files MS office brownsing net and multi tasking sobra smooth niya.

Backlit as in may ilaw yung keys ng keyboard, so kahit nakapatay yung ilaw sa room mo, madali pa rin makita yung keys na pinipindot mo.

I checked the specs of your board, it has 4 RAM slots. More than enough if you need to upgrade. What case did you get? Your board supports has front USB 3.0 headers, but to maximize it your case has to have USB 3.0 ports as well. File transfer via USB 3.0 is so much faster than USB 2.0, really useful when transferring large files.

It's too simplistic to say that having a larger monitor means lag. The real explanation is that larger monitors have higher native resolutions. Higher resolutions are more taxing to your CPU and GPU, but that doesn't mean you can't play Dota on your big monitor. If for example your monitor's native resolution is 1920x1080, and your CPU/GPU can't handle that resolution smoothly, you can always reduce it to a lower resolution of the same 16:9 ratio, specifically 1280x720 or 1366x768. Those resolutions are the same as the native resolution of a 18.5" monitor. End result - less detail, but still a smooth playing experience.

hmmm... example of backlit keys(my humble rig):





and yes, I do prefer using the user's manual over a mouse pad because it has the perfect traction for me <.<

[Jun aka Pekto]

I used to hate gaming on laptops because the bang for the buck isn't good. Then they started coming down in price right about the time I decided I wanted to game while on vacation at relatives' homes or during a road trip.

I bought a 14" ASUS G46VW during one time when the wife let me spend. It's perfect for gaming after we pull into a motel for the night. It's a bit underpowered for a couple of games (The Witcher 3 and Far Cry 4). But most other games play fine.

For example, Crysis 3 is playable at High settings with FXAA:


It also has a backlit keyboard. But, I rarely use it.

^nice kb parang diced fruit [emoji525]


Backlight of my x250 is underneath the keys but characters arent translucent. Older xseries has this light literally mounted on top of the monitor shining light on the kb..

Owner of a partially broken X240. Yeah that screen mounted LED does come in handy, i wish it would catch on with the cheaper laptops. Am also a fan of the Lenovo-type keyboard -- island-style keyboards are just weird ^_^

Nice....i remember that subwoofer hehehe. Z2300? I think.


I cant wait for AMD fury woooo

Yup. It's the same Z-2300 2.1 from 2005. It still works great and I tend to keep things (and not buy new stuff) as long as they are working.

I stuck with AMD up to now. I have an FX-8350 paired with a 4 Gb GTX 770. I'm contemplating moving back to Intel. But, we'll see. I'm satisfied with the FX-8350 for now.

Is your monitor g-sync ready? Wish we had newegg here...

[Jun aka Pekto]

Of course not. He He.

My "monitor" is a Dynex 24" (60 Hz) 1080p TV I bought from Best Buy back in 2010. I'm not really bothered by screen tearing.

I also have it hooked up to my cable box.


I'm not that interested in the current PC gaming trends: 60 fps, 4k, etc. So long as I can play the game decently at the display's native resolution, I'm happy. Heck, I still prefer to use VGA or DVI ports over HDMI.

Woah! Dual CRT monitors!

And a logitech flightstick!
I used to stick with FF joysticks (MS Sidewinder FF1 and 2, Logitech strikemasterpro). But eventually, the FF support on games started to become crappy. Most are just obligatory vibrations. I've since given up on FF and now have a regular garden variety flight stick.

Back in the Sidewinder FF days, the FF supported games has a wide range of FF effects. I have fond memories of playing EAW, the FF effects were spot on --- ex. a wing loses lift and I'm about to enter a stall/spin.

That was my setup in 2004. I had two Samsung 17" monitors. I used to have a MS Sidewinder 3D Pro from 1995. But, MS dropped support for it with Windows XP which is why I have a Logitech in the first place. I loved the Sidewinder 3D Pro. I still have my European Air War CD. I can run the game on Windows XP. But, the video chip must be ATI.

Nowadays, I play with MS Flight Simulator X, DCS: Black Shark, X-Plane 9, IL-2: Cliffs of Dover, and Aerofly FS. Lately, it's been the last two.

By the way, speaking of FSX -- is this use teh CPU more than the GPU?
I recently grabbed FSX during a steam sale and started flying around NAIA on an ultralight.
After an hour or so, my motherboard monitor started complaining that the CPU has breached the threshold.
I could play ROME2 all day with the settings maxed out and get no complaints from the CPU.
