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

Unless im just mixing it up with something else

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

Generally the best value is used prebuilt + gpu

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

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

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

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

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

True

What are the best websites for pre-built computers

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

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

I hope someone else knows a good answer to that

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

otherwise you will serriously limit your options for graphics cards

👍

Thank you for the answers 😃

No problem 😄

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

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

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

Do you think that would work

By research i also mean deal hunting

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

its a pretty hard time to find good prices on stuff

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

Hopefully that changes some by then

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

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

Lol

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

either new on both or a mixed of used

depending on budget

Wait a hot minute

Optiplex 7010

Yes

But i put in in an Antec Nine Hundred case

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