Surely it gets auto-generated by shopify? Do they at least give some sort of order summary with the prices?

I put one of these in my X370 mobo about a year ago (I think it was $238 during an ebay sale) to replace a 1700. Best bang for buck for…

qwijibo replied to belmakov on [Refurb] SFF PC, i5 6500, 8GB RAM, Dell / Lenovo / HP ($92.82 with eBay Plus) @ ACT via eBay
They all have pci-e slots, so you can put a cheap ax210 card from aliexpress in it (should be less than $25). I'd go with either the lenovo…

qwijibo replied to Hornpub on Fenvi 2.5Gbps PCIe Network Card US$8.45 (~A$13.01) Delivered @ Factory Direct Collected Store AliExpress
You could try a usb- to 2.5gbe adapter. They're probably not completely awful.

This. I've got an i225-v3 pci-e card, and it is kind flakey under both linux and windows. I also have an i226 card and it solid as a rock.…

Poor. The 8600G is usable for 1080p, but it would suck at 1440p unless you added a GPU.…

You don't *need* to use the same SSID as your home wifi - most devices have a notion of a "saved network", and will just rotate around them…

qwijibo replied to krisspy on ZSUS 14" 2160x1440 IPS Portable Monitor US$57.14 (~A$87.22) Delivered @ ZSUS Store AliExpress
It's a very similar size to a 14" macbook pro screen - which makes it a really good companion screen when working remotely.

Hook them all together and send some traffic through them so you can admire the blinking lights?

qwijibo replied to M911 on [Steam, PC] DOOM Eternal $13.73 Standard Edition, $24.98 Deluxe Edition (75% off) @ Steam
Same here. I thought Doom (2016) was a good homage to the original Doom. I found Doom Eternal to be more annoying than fun.

Sure, but unless you're going to do multiplayer, you'd play it for a couple of days to get thru the single player campaign and then be done…

Tell me about it. Doing a compile on my old intel macbook sitting on my laptop used to fry my spuds.
