    21-30k Bargain basement PC advice

    Maybe possible with a GPU, I'm building a system with higher spec for approx 37k with an SSD, I guess it'll be 38.5k once I add wifi and w11 licence key. I'd say within 32k is possible, 8-10k on the GPU used, higher end ones will kill the budget.

    Lifetime free credit cards to get blocked!

    I use kotak 811 virtual card, I can get a physical one too, no issues this far. However you have to use it or they block it, some RBI bs. But as my SBI "international debit card" doesn't work internationally I use it regularly. SBI=Stupid Bloody Idiots...

    Swapping UPS battery for larger capacity?

    I have no issues with experimenting, I'm not concerned about "explosions" either. I would like to expose that industry through (also others) for fooling and ripping off people, but ultimately that's just how commerce works.

    WTB Used hot air station and good soldering gun.

    Operations wise, nothing. But space wise a huge difference, ultimately it's your choice. I'm not selling a product, just advising upon my personal experience, as an electronic hobbyist.

    Swapping UPS battery for larger capacity?

    Yes you are correct to a degree, batteries fail for the simple reason of sulphication (sp) , this is with lead acid type regardless of deep cycle, such as inverter or marine types. Now, when we consider the circuit, we would have to increase the va of the transformer and maybe the capacitor...

    PC Peripherals TP-Link RMA'ing any experience?

    I have a TP-link router which won't connect to the net, even as a range extender. It worked well before, same ISP just a different location. I had bought it from a local croma store, so do I return it at Croma or with the manufacturer?

    Swapping UPS battery for larger capacity?

    Absolutly correct! One could also swap a larger transformer in and even a separate rectifier board, fan is definitely required for longer charging.

    Swapping UPS battery for larger capacity?

    No. nothing would get damaged, worst case scenario is the battery or batteries won't get enough amps or volts to charge. A real world example, I left my interior lights on in my Renault Duster for a couple of days, battery completely dead (9v on my multimeter) a neighbour tried to jump start...

    Swapping UPS battery for larger capacity?

    As far as I understand charging, the current (Amps) and voltage (charging is done at higher voltage on lead acid, than the batteries output voltage) is decided by the charging circuit and not determined by the battery.

    Ant Esports VSL PSU's any good?

    I thought it was anti sports....Would you mind popping off the cover, I would like to see the PCB, curious to what caps and fets etc are being used.

    Ant Esports VSL PSU's any good?

    I guess I was expecting this kind of response, especially given that many of us live in areas with really 'king dirty power in. However, I would like to see others' opinions as it could serve as a warning, I had a meanwell smps which blew up under warranty, took out an arduino and a whole bunch...

    WTB Used hot air station and good soldering gun.

    https://www.babaocamachine.com/product/mini-portable-smd-rework-station-8858/ This is the one I bought. 1700 bucks. I like it and it highly portable, the box is small also.

    Swapping UPS battery for larger capacity?

    I've seen it on youtube and tutorials also, anyone had experience doing this? I'm talking like quadruple capacity give or take a few AH's, massive batteries may not charge fully (that's my understanding)

    Ant Esports VSL PSU's any good?

    Are they a) Any good? b) Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole? c) Caps randomly explode? d) kill your mobo? e) Change before the warranty expires? f) Fire hazzard? g) Rebranded poor quality e-waste? I can't...
