A college near me is having a technology surplus sale tomorrow and I think I'm going to stop. Anything that I should look for? Are the desktops usually good enough that throwing in a video card/more ram will allow for light gaming? (Mainly Sims 4) Not sure if specs across colleges are pretty standard and there is something good to find/avoid? For reference, this is what they have. Complete PC Systems (monitor, keyboard, mouse, imaged PC and cables) - $94.70 PC Laptops - $75.83 PC Desktop - $47.39 All Mac Devices - $104.27 Projectors - $94.79 Miscellaneous Devices - $4.74 per item Unknown Devices - $9.48 Hard Drives - $4.74 Monitors - $23.70 Cameras - $4.74 Cables/RAM - $1

Ended up picking up two Dell Z220 with i7 3770, and 18 gigs of ram. Should be able to run sims and whatnot ok I'd imagine.

16 yeah, mistyped. Video cards are just Nvidia quadpro k2000's so think I should just need to put a different video card in them and be set? Maybe grab some ssd's

Convertable Mini Tower. Looks to be this one https://www.cnet.com/products/hp-wo...ghz-16-gb-2-tb/ But with a much smaller hard drive.

Harminoff posted:3770 So opening this up and looking around, it looks like the mobo has a proprietary 18 bit connector and I've read about people having trouble with other power supplies fitting the case. The power supply is 400w however it only has 1 6 pin connector. Is there a decent graphics card that I could grab that only takes 1 connection? Not sure how to go about putting a better video card in this. If anything I could get a new power supply and this https://www.amazon.com/COMeap-Power-Adapter-Workstation-12-inch/dp/B074G12LT5 and try and make it fit.

Can someone please let me know what the best either 6 pin or no pin video card is available right now? Would be used to play games. I got a couple of workstations in a school sale with unchangeable power supplies so I'm stuck with using a 6 pin for the video card. Last year I picked up one of these for one of them https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IA9FEOO Which is working great, plays everything I throw at it. I'd like to get something similar for the 2nd one, however the price on this went from $150 to $400
