Debating on a price to try to sell a b350, r5 5500x3d, 1x16gb 3600, 1tb nvme ssd, 850watt PSU, rtx 2060 S 8gb system.

Shooting from the hip, I'd say the sell it quick low ball end is $500, and market could bear $800 if you are more patient.

Edit: yeah messing around with PCPartPicker choosing lowest "brand name you've heard of" components it's around a $1000 new build. I generally figure, few years old stuff, out of warranty is worth ~50% , quite new but used stuff max of 80%, NIB month old stuff, with receipts to be worth 90%. So my initial guesses pan out according to my logic. You'd have to make special cases or adjust for premium versions of components. But, say you'd got a cheap everything and somehow a $300 cooler, the value of the cooler is not gonna be realised to actually SELL the system, buyer is not gonna go even $100 over value of similar systems, it basically means he puts you first on the list at similar prices. In that sort of scenario, you'd do better to swap the halo product out for cheap generic and sell separately.

With all of the health stuff going on, I haven't had the strength or mental capacity to do much. I've even lost motor control, so it's difficult to type or use a mouse. Using touchscreens (such as my phone) is impossible. I haven't slept well in months either, and I think that's a symptom, not the cause of how poorly I feel. The doctors around here are idiots and just tell me that nothing is wrong with me, but they can prescribe sleeping pills for the insomnia.

I still haven't tried to reapply the undervolt to my Ryzen, but it didn't help enough for me.

I tried upgrading the shitty Toshiba laptop from Lubuntu 22.04 to a newer version. Apparently Ubuntu 24.04 and newer won't display the GRUB boot menu on a non-UEFI system unless you hold down Shift while booting, which makes dual-booting annoying. In the process of trying to get the menu to always appear like it used to, manually running update-grub (instead of being triggered by an update) somehow broke something related to graphics where the entire Internet insists that the only solution is to reinstall the proprietary Nvidia driver. This system does not have Nvidia graphics, and even if it did, the GPU would be too old to be supported by the proprietary driver anyway. At that point, I didn't have the energy to figure out what happened, so I reinstalled. Fortunately, the new Internet lets me download ISOs in minutes instead of hours. I also got a second modem configured as a WiFi extender, and it also works as an Ethernet to WiFi bridge to bypass the shitty Realtek WiFi card that computer has (a card that was abnormally slow when it was new).

The other modern activity is the ridiculous amount of political spam text messages I've been getting. They come from a different number every time, so you can't block them. I get several a day.

Another stick of RAM arrived today.
I bought a Samsung M471A1K43CB1-CTD because thats what I already have and want to new stick to match the stick I already have but the seller sent me a Micron MT44ATF1G64HZ-3G2B2 stick instead...

This is the 5th time so far Ive bought a stick of spercific RAM because I want that RAM and not another brand and the wrong RAM turned up.
The 4th time it didnt turn up the seller contacted me and asked if it was ok to send the wrong RAM to which i said no its not...

Am I the only one who gets this problem?

Had it with CPUs, a recycler out of Calgary doesn't care what they send. Listing said see picture for details, received CPU was 2 speed grades lower. Was low amount and I got busy so didn't get the dispute filed.

Got my Google voice land line working again on the old Obi200. I don't remember when it stopped working, I think Obihai went out of business. Someone patched the firmware and through a convoluted process you can link it up to google voice again. I love that I can just give out the google voice number and it will ring through to my cell, If that number is compromised then just change numbers.

Yeah its unreal!
Especially when its worse than what you thought you were buying.
This RAM sent to me isnt, its 3200 not the 2666 I needed it to be. So thats a win of sorts but its not because its not the right one.

If you have 3200 and want it to ID as 2666, you could always try editing the SPD. (I think the utility for this was called thaiphoon?)

Im not going to bother, Im just going to send it back!
It will cost the seller two round trip shipping costs but I really dont care any more.
Ive been trying to get hold of this RAM for 3 weeks 2 days now.
