    I bought the cheapest prebuilt "gaming" branded PC I could find on Amazon.com to see if it is any good. I was skeptical because they were selling it as a "10-core" gaming system, so let's see if it let me down.

      Narrator RL never buy a pre built pc. Look up on UA-cam, let’s say you have a $500 budget “best $500 gaming pc” and do that. Pre built a use lots of cheap parts and just make them flashy that’s all.

      It’s definitely made for use in an enterprise level storage system as part of an array and even has NetApp and IBM equivalent part numbers listed. That also means any recovered data would be scrambled without the other drives in the original array to match with. It probably wasn’t encrypted though.

      @@mikeg1433 You don't need to shred the drives to make sure no data is recoverable, just write over the data with random stuff a few times or more. Multiple drives can be done in parallel, which greatly reduces overall time. You could shred or degauss them for extra security, but that's really wasteful and I'd rather that be avoided unless there's no other option. Just write data to it encrypted in the first place.

    • @JSTheAnonymousOne

      It's funny, my main array is actually a RAID-0 array with a LUKS partition inside, so if one of the drives ended up being wiped, there's no getting the data back. That gives me some piece of mind for if a drive just suddenly dies on me and I have to RMA it. I've used old enterprise drives in the past and they worked alright, just noisy and tend to run a bit hot

      I have a feeling that by law it is a USED PC. It is false advertising about a 10 core processor and it being new. That hard drive is so used it could die any moment too! The VGA port has me wondering what the graphics were too. I know in general on board graphics suck and APUs aren't really a whole lot better except they have a good CPU as part of them. That Dell he once reviewed is looking better by comparison despite being mostly proprietary parts that will make the thing e-waste when anything fails.

I think it's funny that you brought up the optiplex, I ended up buying an optiplex (Cant remember the model, but it had an i7-4770) with a 1050 installed (no, not the Ti lol). It ran well over 100fps in esports titles, and created my current love of PC gaming. Don't sleep on the optiplex builds, they make great entry level PCs for a couple hundred bucks!

    My trusty desktop from 2013 is similar spec. It is currently the family pc. Had to toss in an ssd a month ago to make it bearable, and I'll be tossing in the 1660ti from my current build once my 3070 comes in.

    AMD used compute cores when they talked about the APUs. They could compute cpu based logic on the GPU cores. The issue was that the APU was based on the older excavator architecture which was premium e-waste material even then. It performs like an athlon x4. The only tip with these chips is disable boost clock and run it locked at its lowest frequency and overclock the shit out of the GPU module. They take some abuse and it really cranks on the FPS quite a bit making older games playable at abysmal settings. The only good thing about this apu is that you can upgrade to the ZEN architecture APU which is much better performance wise for a little more.

    I posit that the thing you heard clunking around was *_not_* the power cable, but in fact *_was_* that loose HDD. No worries though, the heads lock when the power is off, or at least they did 20 years ago.😅

    It would be a lot better if you put a graphics card in it. It looks like it uses the one on the motherboard. It is probably just that APU stuff. It would be pretty fine with a GTX 1650. It could also benefit from Windows on a SSD disc if it is not the case.
