Every Budget build needs accessories, right? You can't get much cheaper than free.
It all started when I went to ask the IT department if they had one of the old style Dell keyboards. The L100 was always a favorite of mine and even though it's membrane, and not backlit, it is still a class act. They didn't have one, they had several! Oh Yeah! #Dell #L100 #keyboard

It started out simple enough. Just see if the Xeon is a good upgrade in the Dell Optiplex. We are so much further down the road than that. It ended up with its own build and a comparison to two other newer intel Core CPUs, and actually does better in some cases. A solid gaming rig for a budget price. Who wouldn't be happy with that?

As I was looking for PC parts over the weekend, I found something that stunned me. The Ryzen 5 5600g was marked for $149! I have been looking at budget minded CPU's for almost the entire life of the channel, and this drops in as a stunner!!
As of August 9th it has crept back up to $179, which is still a decent deal, but with prices falling for CPU's and GPU's, I don't think it will be long before it comes right back down.

What I hope is the easiest way to move your existing game files that are launched by #Epic or #EA / #Origin.

A few weeks ago we found out that the #Optiplex will hold up okay with newer titles like #CyberPunk2077 and #Assassinscreed Valhalla , If we manage our settings and expectations, but what about Mass Multiplayer games where we barely reach, or don't even reach minimum specs....

No Gimmicks or tricks and definitely not clickbait. I Take an HP All In One from 2015 and after reinstalling windows and all of the drivers try to see if it will run any games at all. And, yes, I figured out a way to run CyberPunk without any cloud service. No NVidia, No MS Game Pass, and no Stadia. Just Steam! It was a little frustrating and more than a little fun, but it can be done and its not that hard.

Phishing is the act of trying to glean your personal information by having you believe you are dealing with someone that is authorized to have it. I got a rather strange email the other day and thought it might be a good thing to share so that others would be aware and not be taken advantage of.
Always, always, always double check to make sure something that looks like it is marked for URGENT action is, in fact, the real thing. I few minutes can save you hours, days, months or even years of trouble later.
Companies like Amazon do a GREAT job of making sure you can identify what is real and what might be a scam, so please use the tools they provide for you and your safety.
