Asrock's support team doesnt always make the most sense, but I do have a small bit of information, idk if it will help or not, as most of it is repeated information, but for anyone else this may also help. I had emailed them, and the conversation went as follows: 7/4/2019, Me: Hello, I was...

Card arrived damaged, really badly. Got a refund, but only $37 worth because shipping couldnt be refunded. Tried out system for the first time. Nothing. It did beep a couple times, but that subsided when i put a keyboard in. I also got some noises when i pressed on keyboard buttons, but no...

Bought RX 560 for $45 after shipping. also bought power button board for $15. I will probably cut parts out of 2mm thick acrylic with a saw because i dont have 3d printer... I mean sure, I could get an ender 3 or something... but idk. Relatively, a piece of acrylic and a handsaw would be so much...

Actually, scratch that, now that I have a card I can buy things with, this project will no longer retain its *Technically free* Name. Also Idk wtf I will do for the case, so im just going to cut out more pieces of mdf and run hardware on there. The case can wait. I found an RX 560 for <$50 on...

This project is postponed for the next few months due to a few reasons: 1. The prices of pretty much every cryptocurrency took a huge plunge. 2. I'm switching my folding@home power to a team of a youtuber whose discord server I moderate where I won't be able to earn any crypto. In fact, I might...

After reviewing gpus briefly, i realized that i had a few more options than i previously considered. My requirements were as follows: must have <130W power draw must be roughly equivalent to RX 460 performance, or close to GTX 1050 or RX 560 performance after an overclock under 130W power draw...

forgot to mention i got the ssd. slotted in to my adapter board fine. A lot of the other adapters and stuff have really long estimated arrival times, and me being the clueless person I am, just realized its because of coronavirus. Some of the stuff i had ordered are to be expected between mid...

My school might have one. Anyways if the motherboard is killed or something I can get another for about $8

Some parts arrived today, a flex-atx psu and a cpu. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/576132358894518294/680192166579929156/IMG_20200220_171729.jpg its an i5-4570S, the psu is 250W. I put the CPU in there and realized that zipties wouldn't work. So i had to think of a way on how to fit...

I used all the rest of the gift card on some cheap 60mm Chinese fans, that are 3 pin so I don't have to peg then 100% all the time. I also got a potentiometer type thingy to control it because id rather not have it running 100% all the time. Also on the gpu side of things, I'm going to at least...

Bought: CPU(i5-4570s, came with unknown thermal paste) $37.99 SSD(256GB m.2 sata Dell LiteOn) $29.98 Sata 3 to m.2 adapter(I lost the other one) $2.98 cheap AC wifi adapter $5.29(I may have been able to get this cheaper, too late) Mini PCIe to x16 adapter $5.79 SATA powered fan hub $2 250W Flex...

Bigger update: at the best of times, the crypto trade i had set went through. I now have 115 nano(XRB), and literally right at this moment it is at its highest price this month. i had been debating whether to wait or not, but whatever. 115*1.18= ~$135

small update: i won $25 worth of crypto in a giveaway. This makes things a whole lot better. thank you for coming to my ted talk

Tbh I don't know if there are that many near my area. Also I would just go there and take stuff and leave if I were to find one?

update: I was able to get this from a broken laptop. For free. These things are pretty expensive, and I might be able to get another for 8GB total. This will significantly reduce the time and money to make this into a working system. EDIT: idk why but maybe the photo is broken...
