i have long been wishing something of mix from rune factory series,harvest moon series and factorio

outside of portia lacking slightly on all the fields but still being darn addictive and fun game

only other competitor in the scene is >modded minecraft

stardew valley is good, but it was quite short back when i first played it

maybe i should replay tru it to see if the official release (and multiplayer patch!) are worth the time

I was enjoying SW but then got to the point where you go from mid to late game

And just didn't enjoy late game that much

I felt like I had no idea what to do or was just wasting days since nothing else to do especially during winter

indeed like all farming related stuff usualy is

winters is just waitign and repairing broken shit

guys is a an alienware 17R4 for 500 dollars a good deal

how broken

mint condition

stolen ?

no

the seller just got a new one

depends on setup its 1200-1500 usd computer

2018 Alienware 17r4

I7-7700HQ

256ssd +1TB

16gb ddr4

Gtx 1070 with 8gb ddr5

resale value on "mint" condition should be closer to 800-900

should i get it?

for that i cant answer for you

depends if you need it,have laptop/pc,your current money situation etc

I do need an upgrade from my current laptop

but yes that setup is worth 500 if you need upgrade from some old as fuck shit

or need new laptop in general

thanks tervy san

just consider if you really want to haul that thing around

it will weight a ton and be clumsy due 17inch

I have no issue carrying huge loads around

just like your mother was proud too

whats your use case for it ?

gaming and video editing

then yes why not

git it

damn it weighs 4kg

4.42 to be exact

told ya

its clumsy as fuck too

and the power supply is 1.45 kg

take tape measure and check how large its dimensions are

thiccc

as long as a laptop fits in a bag and doesn't weigh over 5 kg then it's okay

that laptop does not fit to your average "17 inch laptop pocket"

not too bad

mostly due that back ventilation

damn thing needs more usb ports though

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/alienware-17r4-15r3-disassembly-repaste-guide-results.797373/ heres how it looks from inside

and yes its cleaning and fan replacing incase they are dead is whole day process :P

also warning : it will contain gore

why must they make these things so hard to maintain

to make them compact

at least that model does not require you to tear out keyboard first

to get back panel off

but yeah millions of work hours in research and development

then they ruin it with shitty termal pads

wait a minute, i'll need to replace the thermal pads and re apply thermal gel if I actually want to get decent use out of it?

not really need

but it can drop its load temperatures about 10*C to 20*c iirc on user reports of alienware laptops in general

ofc when you buy it you test it first

and see if it throttles badly

that liquid metal cooling paste seems great

thermal grizzly* conductonaut ?

its darn good stuff

1 gram costs 10 euros iirc or some shit

dunno if the cost has gone up

used to use their thermal pads for electronic stuff

it seems that you can buy it on aliexpress too

i think i still have some

not that suprised

just note that conducto and kryo nauts are 2 different products

kryo being better for not so experienced users

how come

also I thought you are just supposed to leave a dab of it in the middle and then let the squeezing off the thermal pads together spread it evenly

conducto one does not like aluminium iirc

and cpu pads are made of aluminum?

some heatsinks are

is it better overall though

yeah at least the marketing W/Mk is way better

also afaik it conducto dies at 10*c and lower temps

cant remember from top of my head

but yeah if you look at those heatpipes

all 3 next to each other = quite bad design

not that they have that room to go other directions due how the gpu is planned

man, now i am having second thoughts about this

it works but the thermal hotspot is right there next to rams

@androidcrawler its good laptop for good as fuck price where the parts are considered

just test it first

trying to help you make decision on basis what you should know

(that it might throttle if its abused,stored badly)

and that you can actualy fix it "quite easily"

compared to some laptops

what if I wanna blow some air into to clean out the dust

it can get dusty here

but yeah those models are "dell" made so their "stamping" on it is quite normal stuff

so yeah repasting helps it a ton

but is not necessary

but its "gaming laptop"
