Soldato
Walking into the office one day, I see an Asus G20 lying around in bits. GPU removed, no power brick, apparently won't start. Has a i7 6700 non-K, 256GB SSD, 2TB HD, 16GB RAM (WHY is it SODIMM?!) and I think even a Blu-Ray drive in it.
I asked if I could have a go at getting it working. £25 later on an exact replica PSU (genuine ones are £190 - no ****ing way am I spending that) it still won't start.
So here I am thinking, what could I do with it and the same amount of money, £190, to turn it into a working PC again? I have an 800W PSU in the loft, a GTX1050 from an old work project...all I need is a board, RAM, and case, and I've got a working PC I can use for....something?
Right?
Just £190.
Just make it work. Turn it into a Hackintosh or something like I did with my old backup PC I'd just given away. Which didn't work very well because Apple hate Nvidia for ~reasons~.
Yeah. That's almost what's happening!
