Looking to buy new PC. Looking for recommendation

Aesthete18 — Tue, 19 Nov 2019 04:44:40 +0800

Hey guys, my PC just died and i might need to replace it since I can't figure out why it's dead. I'm looking for some info.

I need a very basic desktop PC, I'm not interested in building it myself so if you guys know any good shops please do recommend them as well.

I don't need a dedicated graphic card, an integrated one is fine. I won't be playing a single game on it. I only use it for browsing, YouTube, and movies basically.

8gb RAM should suffice.

New hard disk not required.

Is it possible to get for 1k or below?

Thank you.

Any headphone repair shop KL/Selangor?

Aesthete18 — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 18:53:10 +0800

Really love my headphones that gave out after a year. It's a small job I believe, removing the jack and connecting the cable direct internally (safety jack faulty). Anyone know any shops that would do this kind of job? Thank you.

Looking for headphone wiring repair shop

Aesthete18 — Sat, 10 Nov 2018 20:59:53 +0800

My superlux rosak before even a year.. the thing that was supposed to protect the wiring is the thing that ended up breaking.. they didn't accept warranty some more pergghh. But I really the pair. Star Picker where I bought it from said they can sambung the wire straight to the inside bypass the safety thingy. Problem is that place is pretty damn far for me and it's a small cheap job anyway. Anyone know where I can get it done?

Online selling noob questions

Aesthete18 — Tue, 16 Oct 2018 15:57:06 +0800

Hi there, I'm not sure about the safety of online selling. Might be stupid questions lah so don't be surprised XD I've no experience with this.

I posted on Mudah, wanted to sell something. Got a buyer from Perak, I'm in KL. He asking for postage. How does the payment system work? Is it safe for me? Will I get the money immediately? He transfer money first? Seems like quite a risk for him also kan if I get paid first?

I know Mudah got lots of stories la, so I just wanted to check. I pun tak paham benda cam ni XD

Thanks.

Any good places to find computer chair?

Aesthete18 — Wed, 04 Apr 2018 23:19:08 +0800

Just tried Markus at IKEA, quite happy with the quality but nak survey skit ah other places.

Budget should be below 550 since that's the Markus price.

Any shops with online catalog also can suggest? All this places like Courts, Homepro all don't show their catalog online

PS4 activation vs cd?

Aesthete18 — Sun, 01 Apr 2018 09:14:28 +0800

Hello gamers! I am waiting for my order of PS 4 to arrive and I've just been researching some games. I noticed this thing about activation/no activation or something like that. It's like games in digital form? Why are they so cheap? I mean there's like premium games a thing like 25 bucks vs 100+ maybe 200 as CD? How does it work?

Also, I'm noticing a lot of like R1, etc. stuff. I'm assuming that's for region. How do I know what region my PS is on? Presumably on the box but does that mean I can't play other R games?

I'm new to PS, have an Xbox 360 and before than PS 1 XD aye Metal Gear represent!

Best place to buy acoustic guitar?

Aesthete18 — Mon, 12 Mar 2018 08:25:44 +0800

Only place I know is Guitar Store but screw that overpriced con jobs.

Anyone know of a place that gives a good price? My price range is 1200 - 1500.

Also, what Guitar would you recommend? I like alternative rock and indie folk so unlikely to deviate from that. A nice thick sound. Something you'd possible find on a Sevendust or Fuel acoustic song. Suggest a brand to check out as well! I don't know much about gears.

Arigato son!

Marshall amp repair cost

Aesthete18 — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 14:04:42 +0800

My amp wasn't working so I got a quote on it. I believe he said the speaker was broken and the ports are all rusty. Hence, the cost will be RM250. I think I bought the amp about RM450 more than a decade ago. It's pretty good amp, everything worked fine outside the gain/clean on and off button. I don't know if it's a good idea to get it repaired for that much. Any ideas? I'm surprised it's that much tbh. Would I be able to get a better new amp for that amount?

Slow direct download speed on Unifi

Aesthete18 — Mon, 01 May 2017 13:40:43 +0800

Recently switched from Streamyx to Unifi Lite. I will post new thread on that whole thing when I have settled some stuff if anyone is interested. Anyway, my direct downloads currently is really slow (refer to image). Some downloads are okay but some I get this slow speed. On streamyx, this particular site always get max speed, so I'm kinda baffled what's going on. Any advice?

Maxis 10mbps vs Unifi Lite

Aesthete18 — Mon, 24 Apr 2017 03:23:41 +0800

Hi everyone, so I'm looking to upgrade my broadband and wanted some input. Most of my friends have unifi and they're happy with it. I spoke to customer support but they said unifi lite not available in my area but ask to check in tm point. What's the thoughts on maxis? I actually remember there was lots of complaints when it first came out and given that it's using tm's cable, I wanted to know how is it these days. Which should I go for?

Thank you.
