wow could you PM me how much yung ganyang setup.. i want to get my mom a pc/ another palusot para makagawa ako ng htpc hahaha

[ninjababez®]

hahaha.. oonga dati pag may friends ako din na bibili.. tinuturo ko sa pccorner. madami kasing shops noon.. kahit luma.. few generations ago na ang benta.. minsan mas mahal pa sa presyo ng latest talaga. hehe
kaya madami shops galit noon sa pc corner.. naalala ko meron nagsasabi.. chopchop daw sila.. ninanakaw daw laman.. etc.. imho dali kausap ng mga tao dun.. lalo na pag andun yung boss.. parang ayaw magpaalis ng customer ng di bumibili.. bibigay talaga sa presyo na masaya ka..

ako sa laptop Villman talaga.  mas madali kausap sa warranty (im not sure ngayon 2 year old na yung latest laptop ko)

[ninjababez®]

Yung along Taft sir? Branch ata siya nung asa Mandaluyong. Sila yung first na nagbenta ng mga modding parts.

Tatlo sila before in that area. ThinkPC first dun near Far East Bank (na wala na din), then Dreamchum opened (near PWU), last yun Rising Sun (near Shell). Rising Sun had a shop before along Shaw Blvd before they opened along Taft.

meron pa ba dreamchum, like what bro raptor said lagi out of stock.  tapos sobrang mura package nila noon sa dyaryo ko pa nababasa hehehe

^I remember sinama pa ko ng uncle ko dyan sa Dreamchum. Dyan sya bumibili ng computer, tapos inuuwi sa province para ibenta.

Wala na. Style nila yung wala nang stock. Promo price kasi yung nakapost sa ads na mura. May stock sila normally at regular price since limited counts lang ang naka promo (so ubos agad yun). Kumbaga promo fare sa eroplano, limited seats lang.

I normally go straight to the service center nung maker for warranty claims outside the outright replacement period. Tumatagal lang kasi madalas pag sa dealer, though okay nga ang aftersales ng Villman sa experience ko.

agree.. ngayon mas mura na sa malls.. hehe siguro kasi they have "volume" compared sa gilmore shops lalo na pag sa laptops.. last laptop ko north edsa lang hehe... but tagal ko na walang laptop.. that was siguro 2012? hehe

Ako baligtad naman, mas madalas notebook than desktop gamit since the start of 2007. Pero recently bumabalik ako sa desktop sa house since malayo ang resposiveness compared sa personal convertible ko (core m kasi gamit nun).

Sa work I use desktops more than my work laptop since cramped ang desktop space ng laptop.

[dm1179]

Guys, what player do you use for x265/HEVC 10-bit video files?

[knotfersail]

mpc-hc sir

[dm1179]

^Thanks bro.

Just curious.

I see Braswell laptops here that goes for less than 10k pesos brandnew. Celeron n3050 with intel hd 410 chip.    Able  to play hevc 265 and 4k support.

Would it make sense to just buy a braswell laptop as a HTPC and pocket the cost difference?

It can work as long as you stick with supported file formats (upto 4k 30Hz 8bpc) and go with applications that support the onboard acceleration.

Nice nga. Red dot design award 2014 winner pala yang In Win 901. Overkill nga lang for HTPC case. Mas sulit sya for gaming case since dito sya designed for.

strictly htpc form factor medyo pricey po talaga..

(para sa bahay htpc)was looking for that a few times... budget case na matx... 4k budget ko noon.. wala ako makuha kaya i ended up with a used lianli matx tower.. for 1.5k malinis naman and all aluminum kaya pwede nadin..

i try to find the best for myself.. i dont know if its really best for the money.. pero ito binili ko for office.. since budgetted...
http://www.deepcool.com/product/case/2014-09/9_989.shtml
if ok sayo mag tower.. manipis po kaha niya pero maganda mga port location and may foam and fan sa harap kaya nafifilter dumi.. di masyado pumapasok sa loob... since yung ganyan ko sa office 24 hours nakabukas kaya.. medyo importante sakin yung filter ng dumi..
bumawi nalang ako sa psu.. i got a seasonic gold.

hehe hindi ko alam yung red dot.. amazed lang ako sa porma niya.. nung nakita ko yan.. naisip ko.. why di ganito lahat na pc case... hangang nakita ko yung price... nalaman ko bakit.. hehe

[joogeman]

I feel like this is a dumb question to some but o really want to know... =(
