idk i thought QoS was quality of service, and basically just assigns priorities to packets based on how latency-sensitive the data is, i don't see why there couldn't be some sort of open implementation of it

2020-12-17 04:47:01 UTC  

Unless im just mixing it up with something else

2020-12-17 04:47:50 UTC  

This is what I was looking at with that name:

Normal Quality of Service I think is just an open idea but this looks like a corporate solution for a full software defined WAN solution.

Should I build a desktop computer or buy a pre-built one and add a GPU

2020-12-17 05:50:43 UTC  

Generally the best value is used prebuilt + gpu

2020-12-17 05:53:22 UTC  

but the used market seems... a LOT more expensive right now, then when i checked it a few months ago

2020-12-17 05:55:16 UTC  

On that note what are the drawbacks of building one from scratch

2020-12-17 05:55:42 UTC  

You will have to source all the parts yourself, instead of just a pc and gpu

2020-12-17 05:55:55 UTC  

so it can take a lot longer to get everything, and research what is good

2020-12-17 05:56:44 UTC  

The main benefit of prebuilt + gpu is that is is cheap and easy, but if you build it yourself you can make it exactly what you what, but that adds a lot of research to do

2020-12-17 05:56:55 UTC  

True

2020-12-17 05:57:20 UTC  

What are the best websites for pre-built computers

2020-12-17 05:57:24 UTC  

But i bought a 1060 3gb a few months ago for 80, and now its going for over 140 on ebay, prices seem pretty inflated

2020-12-17 05:57:51 UTC  

I wouldn;t be a good person to ask on that, i build with whatever i can scrounge together XD

2020-12-17 05:58:06 UTC  

I hope someone else knows a good answer to that

2020-12-17 05:58:27 UTC  

But in general make sure you get a computer that isnt too small/ a half height

2020-12-17 05:58:47 UTC  

otherwise you will serriously limit your options for graphics cards

2020-12-17 05:59:37 UTC  

👍

2020-12-17 05:59:49 UTC  

Thank you for the answers 😃

2020-12-17 05:59:56 UTC  

No problem 😄

2020-12-17 06:07:46 UTC  

Yeah, learned that the hard way. Bought a surplus desktop for $125 from my college of all places, with the intent to upgrade a few parts in it and start using it as a gaming PC. Come to find that with the variant it is, adding a fancy graphics card could overload the board.

At least I have a nice desktop for standard use at home

2020-12-17 06:09:29 UTC  

The heart of my system is a Optiplex DT 7010 motherboard, holy crap it has so many janky adapters on it to make it work in a normal pc case, but it does work

2020-12-17 06:10:02 UTC  

@VirtualTools_ what about if I find someone who made a list of the parts I would need for a good cheap gaming desktop

2020-12-17 06:10:12 UTC  

Do you think that would work

2020-12-17 06:10:19 UTC  

By research i also mean deal hunting

2020-12-17 06:10:33 UTC  

especially now more than ever, so much stuff is being scalper, out of stock, or just a bad price

2020-12-17 06:10:43 UTC  

its a pretty hard time to find good prices on stuff

2020-12-17 06:11:20 UTC  

It'll probably be a month or more before i start buying parts

2020-12-17 06:11:37 UTC  

Hopefully that changes some by then

2020-12-17 06:11:46 UTC  

A list of parts is a good idea though, just keep an eye out for good deals 🙂

2020-12-17 06:12:09 UTC  

This is a lot of work......

2020-12-17 06:12:11 UTC  

Lol

2020-12-17 06:12:27 UTC  

Yeah thats why for first time i always reccomend prebuilt+gpu

2020-12-17 06:12:35 UTC  

either new on both or a mixed of used

2020-12-17 06:12:39 UTC  

depending on budget

2020-12-17 06:12:43 UTC  

Wait a hot minute

2020-12-17 06:12:59 UTC  

Optiplex 7010

2020-12-17 06:13:27 UTC  

Yes

2020-12-17 06:13:51 UTC  

But i put in in an Antec Nine Hundred case

2020-12-17 06:13:52 UTC  

I bought a Optiplex 7020. I need a refresher since it is late for me. DT? Is that full or small size?
