general

pika just justify a mic for online classes

I have a mic

yeah, but the interface and whatever would be harder to justify Leg

what interface beyond being usb?

if you're going to spend real money on a mic, it's going to be XLR if he was trying to spend $500, I think he'd have to go above a USB mic

he can get multiple things

$300 monitor and $90 mic

oh boy I could fall for the curved gaming monitor meme

Spooky, cmon ya gotta activate windows

curve makes some sense if you are getting ultra wides

I literally can't

It's W10 A

since it's just a VM

Pika, is that a prebuilt alienware pc...

Ah, vm, I was gonna guess

yeah it is, Pika's got a sweet PC

prebuilt but I chose what went in it

Hmm

Alright

I'll pay Microsoft money to make that go away too Mint

they have a pc building website thing

and I use that

they literally wont let me

That sounds like unnecessary money spent

See

I got an old pc case and a hammer

Mint I would break a pc if I tried to build one

And hammered my gpu in

Alienware isn't too bad, price-wise you overpay for the case, but they have cool cases

case is alright

mine supposidly opens

no idea how

nowhere near as bad as Origin PC

fuck them

I'll have you know Im a certified Lenovo, Dell, and Testout Technician

I never break pcs

I once built a pc inside a printer

but can you teach me how at activate Windows? that's what I reall need Mint

get a monitor, mic, and mechanical keyboard

I have a keyboard

The gpu did not fit

keyboard/mouse isn't a bad idea, if they'd pay for it

lmao Mint

We had to make some holes in that case

that's great

and $500 to spend pika

Pika could just buy a nice monitor, if there's nothing else he wants

Yeah

But a 144p monitor

240p

Wait

No p

Refresh rate

I don't understand monitor specs

even less then computer specs

I assumed you meant 1440p, which I hate

I'm dummy

Nah

I wouldn't need any of those super 4k monitors

I meant 144hz

All you need is a decent refresh rate

And an ips display

Matte

simple Pika you choose either 1080p or 4k you choose refresh rate (how smooth it feels to use) either 60, 90, 120, 144 you choose HDR compatible or not (if it can make pretty colours)

That's all that matters

1080 is fone

Refresh rate is more important then pixel density imo

my monitor is 2k 160hz

and was only like $300

Exactly

I got a 4k monitor, and it's fine and all but I hate using windows in 4k

nothing scales well

get a second sdd and dual boot

no, don't do that

convince them to give you more than $500

so you can just buy a second computer

get a couple nvmes

oh buy a new laptop since you 15 year old one died

but actually Pika, I'm sure you can pick out a monitor
