    Not any specific video but got idea to make the case from pvc pipes from some youtube videos. Used single 2600mah 18650, powerbank circuit (to take care of charging, discharging and current protection) and 5v led panel to build it.

    How to make android tv start into homescreen everytime mains power is turned on?

    I have a realme 32 inch tv at home for my grandparents. I have set it to launch "live tv" as soon as it turns on using 'launch on boot' app. The issue is every time the wall switch is turned on the tv goes into standby mode and my grandparents stumble with turning it on with either the remote or...

    Continuing my diy adventures, today made this mini flashlight with crazy brightness, magnets to stick it anywhere and usb charging. I needed a flashlight that can attach to metal railings of roof in outdoor room in case of a powercut so made one myself.

    71-90K What to buy used?

    Thanks for the replies everyone! So here's what I decided: get gpu, ram and cpu(if newer ones available) used (preferably with some warranty). Case(relatively cheap), Power supply, and ssd new.(or openbox new).no need for a hdd as I have 2+4tb ext hdd.

    71-90K What to buy used?

    Thanks! Am5 + 7600k seems better in the long run, will consider it. I thought DDR5 isn't much better than DDR4? I'll try to get some used ddr4s too. Also why not dual channel 8gb×2 since I heard ryzen performs better with dual channel?

    Noted and thank you. I'll be on the lookout for deals on cpu and ram. Will pm you as soon as possible. Thanks! Makes sense. I'll try to source a used gpu first next month (if everything goes according to my plans), and build the rest of the system based around it. Also will try to sell the...

    71-90K What to buy used?

    I see people buying used gpus all the time but what about other components? I heard cpus outlast everything else so they are good to buy used....no idea about motherboard, ram and power supply.

    71-90K What to buy used?

    Same problem, my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu in many areas. I was a college student earlier, but now I have no reason to stick to a laptop. And 1 lakh is the max limit and I would like to save wherever possible to get a decent monitor into that budget, hence enquiring about used.

    71-90K What to buy used?

    I'm planning to build my first gaming desktop next month. I was always a laptop guy and this is my first build. I have no problem buying used components as long as I get the bang for buck. (Gaming purpose only). I'll decide the exact build after I decide on used vs new. 1. So what components...

    Cheap, small display for a diy handheld

    I'm planning to convert a Intel atom windows tablet (buying from @Skyh3ck )without display into a diy retro gaming handheld (poormans steam deck). I thought of using a raspberry pi 7 inch display but the costs are high (lowest was 3600 for a 7 inch 480p). Is there any other cheaper (around 2k)...

    Just Bought IQOO Z6 Pro But Need a 3.5mm Adapter.

    Why not try apple's type c to 3.5mm? Its the best under 1000. There are some compatibility issues with some samsung phones so check properly before you buy.
