the c2q on gear for 28usd is a good deal

You can find them on ebay for around tha price http://www.gearbest.com/cpu/pp_602990.html

What the fuck is an i2

it's just a core 2

they dont know anything

Its same as new pentium

Didnt pentium replace it?

????

It was replaced by the Core i series

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalem_(microarchitecture)

say I wanted to build a little server with chink parts, what would you lot suggest?

dunno. the c2q is a capable cpu even today but i dont know how well itd run in that scenario

yeah just need something for auto back-ups, seedboxing, media etc

now I have the comfy stuff I don't want to lose it

But the C2Q is probably one of the best CPUs you can get from Gear, unless you can get something from the Core i series or bulldozer

in your area do they have uni surplus stores?

sometimes they do quick sales of old equipment, not a store I don't think

i hear they sell pcs which are quite powerful and inexpensive

yeah I saw £60 and then the parts

wew

I'll need to go to a car boot sale

is a boot what burger calls a "trunk"

thought it would be cool to make one out of really chinky parts and a chinky looking case but it'll be cheaper to find some mum selling an old dell for nothing

ie the back of the vehicle

yeah, they park their cars in a field and set up a stall around the trunk/boot

and sell all their shit

it's one of the only ways to get non-ebay tier prices

yeah

because people tend to be desperate

that sounds pretty interesting but shady as fuck

we just have good old garage sales

^

and yard sales

it's the UK garage sale tbh
