Cheap parts for screwing around with

Cheap parts for screwing around with - Pawb.Social

Exactly what the title says. I know the prices of computer parts have been skyrocketing because of all the “generative” “AI” bullshit that’s been forced on the world, and I’m lucky my computer is just good enough to still be doing what I need it to several years later. It’s a laptop, though, so hardly if any ability to swap parts. I want to get into PC building, more out of necessity then desire, but I’m nervous about ruining good parts. I’m totally fine with building a mediocre machine with cheap, old stuff just to get a feel for how everything goes together. If I can make it run Linux and maybe emulate a 16-bit game, I’ll be happy. Additionally, I have a HUGE rack mounted server PC from the mid 2000s that, if nothing else, can be gutted for it’s spacious casing. Is building a cheap test machine like this worth while? If so, I’d appreciate any advice on what parts to scoop up and maybe where I could find them.

Mastadonners who do #pcbuilding , I'm installing an intel LGA1700 into a new board and it's incredibly stiff and needs an awful lot of force, is this normal?

Looking for CPU upgrade advice

Looking for CPU upgrade advice - Divisions by zero

Hello, I have been upgrading this PC [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/77By6Q] for years now, and the CPU is way behind. However I’m not sure what to put in. I planned on sticking with AMD, I’m running Linux Mint, and I want to spend $200-300. My monitor is capable of 165 FPS but nothing I play tends to reach that (Counter-Strike 2, Doom: The Dark Ages, Control, other big-budget games). So I’d like something that could help get this thing up to speed. I’m also interested to hear what other components ought to be prioritized for upgrading in the future. Thanks

Ein Freund möchte sich einen #Gaming PC bauen und hat mich gefragt. Ich kaufe aber seit Jahren einfach Notebooks.

Kennst sich hier jemand aus und kann Tipps und Ideen geben, wie und wo man sich gut informieren kann?

Die ursprüngliche Aussage war: "Wie viele Scheine müsste ich für einen ordentlichen Pc hinlegen der so für die nächsten 5 Jahre alles abspielt was ich möchte?"
