Help Thor Decide.

Where did I claim that?

I said I want something small.

All I do is use PHPstorm and Adobe

Also chrome with a gazillion tabs

So I just need to find a good small solution lots of ram (chrome) an Intel cpu and entry level card.

Problem is wtf do I do with my current setup.

What is it worth?

Are you really that lazy that you can't do the research on your own?

Thanks for your contribution.

If you have a top-mounted fan, move it to a rear mount

Better to remove the fan guard - the cats will stop sitting there.

Very elegant.

I will probably have to go this route as the components are to big for a mini atx case. A little lain li would have been great.

You are all over the place with decisions.

What is your current budget,money you already have.

List the build you are looking at.

Definitely need to go with tray cpu's off carbonite to save money,but you are banned lol

Heck you buy everything from there.

GPU as someone stated,since you don't game.http://www.wootware.co.za/zotac-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-zt-p10510b-10l-4gb-gddr5-128-bit-oc-pci-e-3-0-desktop-graphics-card.html?utm_source=homepage&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=Zotac+GeForce+GTX+1050+Ti+4GB+GDDR5+Graphics+Card&utm_campaign=featured%20product

My life is a fabrication. I am never banned only the specific account.

Thor, have you done research on compatible Hackintosh hardware yet? Will be a bummer if you go through all this effort, spend all this money and something small won't allow you to properly run Mac OS on the machine.

Thor, just take out the lights from the case, shove it under the desk and ignore it.

Since you're doing Adobe, you want either an i7 or an Xeon, as others have recommended. Get a card that is just powerful enough to run your screens, no more, a Quadro is not really necessary at your level, you'll see a lot more of an improvement based on the CPU upgrade.
Don't really care about the motherboard size as long as it has enough RAM slots. Airflow should be fine in a case like that.

End of discussion. Stop jumping around.

I will kill myself yes.

(I am looking at maybe just getting myself another MSI Leopard my current one runs macOS so I might be fcking around now when the answer is clear. - Sell this badboy for R5000 dollars use that to buy a M.2 SSD chuck that into the new MSI and Bob's your uncle.)

I care. It is because of this semi eATX mobo that I cannot downscale in size.

but my mind is now set I shall sell this hobo and get a laptop.

Bite the bullet and get yourself a MacBook Pro, doesn't have to be top of the range, one of the more entry level ones will suit your needs. The previous gen MBP Retina got a price drop at iStore. Personally I'm currently also looking at a previous gen 13 inch Retina, the one with 256 GB storage.

You know you want to.

Wouldn't that constitute slavery? I think they made it illegal...


How much do hobos sell for on the [-]black[/-] underground market anyway?

Why, do you need the portability? The desktop you can upgrade everything later, it's cheaper and more powerful.

I hate wires, I hate bulk, I hate noise. I am minimal.

the design of this website is who I am http://robtreutel.com/

I love large spaces wireless and selective furniture and features, elegance and minimalistic not this awful satan tower of a pc.
