What are things that you do that might trigger Jow Forums normies and mainstreamers?
>windows xp everywhere >10 year old browsers >no antivirus >2 keyboards just to press the windows key >plays shooters like quake arena >tethers to flip phones for internet
I don't have an Internet connection for my home, even though I could have 1000/1000 if I need to connect my computer to the Internet, I browse tethered Wi-Fi via my phones 4G.
>stricty use sms >haha dude theres this hilarious video where x happens haha id send it to you on facebook but you dont have facebook you paranoid fucker the fucks wrong with you get facebook
Hooked it up to a cable card (video in for a computer) and copied vhs tapes to digital. A friend was retiring to the Phillipines and wanted his home video collection. I sold a laptop to a man who just got a cell phone last year, and loaded up some external drives with video from his vhs and 8mm tapes. I finished about a week ago and he leaves tomorrow from Nashville, I just haven't reconfigured workstation b yet because I started running a data recovery job a few minths ago off the same machine and now I don't want to turn it off.

nice quads

If you had money you would have a descent computer with a descent card, or even an additional connector to match your old tv/whatever card.
if you had a white mouse and case to go along with this setup, it'd be perfect
Carson Thomas
based. what resolution an drefresh rate do you keep it for Jow Forums?
Caleb Lopez
>white case do you know of a good one that is the same color scheme as my keyboard and monitor but also about the same size as my current case? also i perfer the motherboard to be mounted upside down(compared to most) so that the PCI cards wont be upside down.
Wyatt Price
1200x900@95Hz i can get 115Hz if i set it to 1024x768, i still havent tried any lower resolutions to see if it can go higher though.
Michael King
HP does the whole 'opposite side/upsidedown mount' thing if you just wanted an OEM case.
Jackson Gray
i can also even do 2500x1875@50Hz but that noticably flickers and also the phosphor dots on the inside of the vacuum tube arent small enough for that to really display well.
Brandon Ward
sounds great
Connor Wright
This is my life
Jacob Ross
yeah im not 100% certain they do white, but they DO have that orientation of case in a LOT of their models. Im actually gonna do a lil customizing to an a6000 case i got my hands on to make a Fortnite Potato to sell local for some extra cash (the missus is headed out of town for a con in a few weeks, and want her to pick me up some nice swag).
Noah Davis
hmm, is the only way i can get one of the cases is if i have an old HP computer laying around and take everything out of the case?
James Carter
I'd assume you could just buy a "vintage" computer off of eBay and take its case, but I haven't tried it personally
I know there's still some companies out there making them because a friend of mine had an old-fashioned-looking case at one point, but that was also several years ago so they might be harder to find.
Eli Smith
>tfw can only do 1280x1024@60 seems like a great minitor user. I set mine on 1152x864@75 most times because 60hz flicker is unbearable post your xrandr user here's mine. ignore lvds-1 thats just the thinkpad
it may happen. try a hardware subreddit, you'd be surprised what you may find. I got mine local from a radio station that got rid of three computers (a fried P4 and two Athlon XPs in Northgate cases). i gutted all three and went from there. even 20 year old cases will take a modern ATX/ITX board - i have a full ATX case in the closet about that big that will do it, and has alternate mount holes for server boards.
nah i rarely do that, but whenever i run it at like 640x480 it basically already looks like that

i do 240p with my Pi via Retropie/Retroarch and use a nearest Vertical Integer Shader to properlyu display on my CRT via composite. it's decent, as the composite signal from the Pi (model 1B) is a good one, and a lot less artifacting over composite than i thought there would be.
I saw that, im phoneposting too, that autocorrect is a mofo

Omg you're such a gamer grrl so 4chany and underground
Jackson Campbell
neat, TIL see its too bad everyone threw these out, colour reproduction on some of these is amazing
I had this NF7 with sata ports on my shelf for about 5 years, threw it out, then got a laptop with a athlon 2500+ for free. I got another abit board though, albeit with blown capacitors and no sata ports or ddr ram.
ah oh well, a pentium 3 with 512mb still does 720p on the 32" pretty well
original 8gb hard drive with a 32gb thumb drive and occasionally a 1tb enclosure i pulled out of a scrap laptop
>colour reproduction on some of these is amazing expecially in a dark scene too. they are also much better for playing touhou compared to LCDs. and after you get used to the aspect ratio 16:9 is just weird.

I had the same desk as you, got it forever ago, but replaced it. It was a good desk

I have that same ipaq on my windowsill no idea what to do with it atm

I have one laying around and dunno what to do with it

if you have a VGA port on your computer somewhere, then just use it. you could also consider buying a GPU with a VGA port. just dont go buy an active converter though since those have shit color, are always a frame behind(due to converting), and cost like 40$.
Carson Butler
I have GPUs coming out my ass and I don't use them for anything. I just like how they look and I like having them. I buy 2-3 new ones a week. Next week comes a variety of gainward phantom cards and similar radiator style coolers
Sometimes when I ssh at work I have my big ol' android tablet running glances in full view for the 1337 h4x0r normie reactions. Pic related. Works. Every. Time.

kek it worked
Jack Gray
>you can just press ctrl-esc to get the windows key Interesting, it doesn't seem to work for combinations though. At least Ctrl+Esc+D doesn't go to the desktop for me like Win+D does.
One thing I've thought about is having a keyboard with no markings on it. You know... kind of like that time they do the spraypaint camo on the keyboard in Hackers. It could actually be useful in a tiny amount of scenarios where you didn't want people using your computer.
I only wonder if I'd forget where some of the more obscure symbols where. Or like Pause/Break etc.

the thinkpad came with vista buisness which I used for a while until the drive died

I am actually having trouble plugging in a ssd.
I've tried 3 slots and it wont even show up on bios, tried 2 different cables nothing, but I dont have another PC to test on, I've decided my best option for now is to give up.
