    It would help if you could give your rationale for a full sized desktop when for most of us when your requirements scream "mini PC"

    My apologies for not going through the link. I interpreted that it was just a pic of the case in which it was installed and not what happened in detail :D

    FS: Power Cooling and Modding Seasonic X850 Power supply

    Cranky, it might give prospective buyers a bit more confidence if you could share specifics of what was changed, the difference in specs of the original component and the replacement one and its function. Saying "a component" in the primary circuit, which is the mains facing side is prone to...

    Want to use old LED TV (not smart) as a Monitor + to stream phone to it

    Yes. Windows will not directly cast to Chromecast. You can cast browser tabs If you want to share your full desktop then go with an anycast dongle. If you want to cast videos, especially YouTube first approach is better. If you want to cast your desktop screen, second is better but there...

    31-40k Basic laptop with a good screen and a durable chassis?

    That's a probook. Plastic with metal here and there. Not as rugged I would strictly encourage you to buy from a local guy only after inspecting everything.

    31-40k Basic laptop with a good screen and a durable chassis?

    If you're not insistent on new, a refurb elitebook 840 is a great choice. Aluminium -Magnesium unibody chassis, choice of good screens (dependent on sellers) replaceable keyboard, good parts availability. Same for a latitude 7/8 series. You should be able to get a very nice config within 30k.

    0-20k Latitude vs HP elitebook vs ThinkPad for refurbished, build quality and upgradability

    If your budget is 15k, you are not going to get an elitebook class machine. Those go for 22 -28k. Then the 640 is as good as any. Check the screen spec. Like you said lots of parts swapping going on. You don't want to get stuck with a 720p TN screen

    FS: Laptop Multiple HP Laptops

    Not accusing you of any malice. Generally corporate laptops are set up with locked bios, encrypted hdd etc, and need to be removed before personal use, and is usually done as a matter of process but sometimes some devices fall through the cracks and show up for sale. A buyer cannot assume any...

    Xiaomi confirms there will be no easy way to disable system ads

    Mi phones are easily debloated, compared to say a Vivo from my recent experience. Yes the stock app list is bigger but you can remove them all
