You set a budget for the build and said everything else would go to other things. Implying that the build budget is just for the build. You didn't say anything about a desk, chair, controller, or adapters.
kinkinkijkin Wrote:Now, I know you never could have known this without me saying it before, but, because of the fact that my wifi card is dying at an ever-speeding pace, I have to have my desk directly below the router. Unfortunately, there's no power outlet right here, and, in fact, there's not on anywhere near this placement. So, I have to run an extension cord down through a vent from the living room, over to my desk. And then, once it gets there, it has to go through a really old power bar into a computer, a screen, a tv (which is right by my desk, other people in the house use it), a MIDI keyboard, and a really old pair of speakers that I'm using as a headphone amp. Adding a heater would amplify the danger, if one of our extremely playful dogs ever bumps the plug upstairs.
There are so many easy ways to fix this:
1. Get a better wifi adapter
2. Outlets come in pairs. So run a second extension chord from the same GFCI.
3. Use chords/power strips that don't completely suck
4. Add an outlet down there, the electrical work really isn't that hard.
And so on...

In getting a new desk, I have to get a smaller one (area restrictions where I'm moving the stuff when I buy the new desk), and I can already hardly fit two meals, a coffee, my disk binders, and my screens* on this desk. Also, I enjoy the novelty of having a small computer.
Why not put the desktop UNDER the desk?

What flickering?

Not true. Do the math.
kinkinkijkin Wrote:My current screen is slightly larger than normal.
What is "normal"?
kinkinkijkin Wrote:If I go to a normal-sized 1920x1200 screen, I will have a reduction in size from the edges instead of an increase of vertical size.
Probably not true. But then again I don't know what you define as normal. Or what you're using now.

Probably not the response you were looking for but I found this part hilarious to try and imagine. That would make for a very hard but rewarding troll account.
As for the rest.....uh....ok....I don't think I want to know.

I doubt that. Your cpu is 65w at stock. And how crappy is your cooling?
