Computer thread!!!

Picked up a thinkpad t420 on ebay for under $150 shipped last week. 6 gigs, i5, business machine - legit win 7 pro sticker. I just can't see paying for a new laptop when these old workhorses are so cheap.

Relegated my old t60 to 3d printing duty only.

The start of my PC/Hackntosh build.

I've played with Osx86, but it's sooo finicky. Granted that was 2-3 year ago last time I tried. Too many crashes.

LN2 is the N2O of the computer world. ;)

Bruh. I got the turbo power supply, with low friction bearings.

i personally would do a supercharger, that turbo lag might cause a frame rate spike and make you miss shots in intense PvP matches...

Should do a lightweight flywheel too. Revs up quicker so you can get to a higher processes per second more quickly. Also, the lighter the weight, the less the power supply has to work.

Do you have a really shitty ssd or something?

yeah more like 2x unless your SSD was made in someones garage.

Shitty compared to, say, a Samsung 850 evo, yes. Advertised ~500/500 read/write, I'm only seeing about 250/250. After reading into it, Kingston apparently changed some parts on the drive to save money, hence the price drop ($40 for 120GB). Still an upgrade over my old HDD, and for what I do, plenty fast enough.

The Samsung 950 nvme is 2500/1500. So, about 10x faster then mine, and about 5x faster then the best SATA SSD's.

nice PC builds you got here

That's what I ended up doing. That SSD is fast! Windows 10 is fast too, it boots in no time on an SSD. Glad prices finally dropped enough on them to make it worth it. $40 for 120GB.

Although my buddy just got one of those new Samsung NVME hard drives, the read and write speeds are about 10x faster then my SSD haha. And it's insane how small they are.

Intel PCI SSD > Samsung.

But thats just me, Even though I have a normal samsung 840 EVO SSD lol.

Just make sure your board has an M2 slot.

Where did you pick it up at? Is it PCI 3.0

That's what the NVME drive is that I mentioned in the post above yours. It's ~5 times faster then most SATA III SSD's.

Guess it would depend on what you're doing, if you'll even be able to notice the difference though. Big file transfers would be quicker.
