Hi everyone,
My HP all in one low profile piece of s*** finally died, CPU seems to be shorting and getting a replacement doesn't seem possible because of the weird mobo. It was a good piece of s*** that did the job. I'm after a replacement solely for work. I have: Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse/SDD. I need: Mobo/CPU/PSU/RAM/Case Any recommendations? I found this list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bfbwr6 Seems decent but can we make it cheaper/better? |
buy an ex gov hp small form factor, chuck in a 256gb ssd, done.

What kinda work? Just office stuff? Damn that's idiotic of me. Yes this is office stuff, most of the time it's Word, Excel and some torrents. buy an ex gov hp small form factor, chuck in a 256gb ssd, done. Where do they auction these? Da hell man, works paying and I don't see a 10-core i9 on there. You okay? :P "Work" = PhD = student funds = Every dollar I spend is a dollar i can't use for travel :D |

My dad always gets PCs and laptops from these guys for his work. No sense in buying a $1000 newie for fat carol in training who does nothing but have morning tea and be fat anyway. last edited by hardware at 11:43:31 21/Feb/18 |
My wife is not a fatty, thank you very much.
Looks good, pretty much what I wanted Mr Hardware lives up to his name. |
if you're in Brisbane you'll have to pay shipping from that place, they're in Melbourne
there's a decent ex-gov/refurb skelly shop over near Tarra that has some alright stuff, here's the Google Store link, I dunno if it will link/render if you're not logged into a Googs account though link to Computer Clearance Centre, Tarragindi |
http://www.reboot-it.com.au/used-dell-optiplex-901ever bought printers from there? they say they have a huge range but only one is listed. just wondering if they typically have more. (my dad's old faithful HP finally died and he can't stand spending money on good stuff so keeps buying cheap s*** - he ended up buying some cheap POS from Officeworks which doesn't print the way he needs so hoping he can find an old HP laserjet to replace it) |
no, only done desktops and laptops sorry.
|
Brother printers I've found are pretty good |
Ordered I think the exact same model as my current cheapbox. Waiting on delivery, they took a while to process my order actually. Hopefully I can combine the two machines and form an actual computer. haha
Anyone how to retreive a windows 10 license of a working hdd? Can I just plug the old hdd into the new machine and hope for the best? |
Hey Trog, I have a couple of HP LaserJet 5L and 6Ls kicking around, and a 2200D. They need to go - if they're the kind of 'old' models you're looking for or interested in. oh nice! Let me check with Dad and see. The one that just broke seems to be an 1100 from a quick look so I guess it's an older model but the 2200D looks quite a bit bigger from photos - he's heavily constrained by space. I'll shoot you a PM - thanks dude! |
(my dad's old faithful HP finally died and he can't stand spending money on good stuff so keeps buying cheap s*** is spook your dad? |
