Cheap small form factor HP desktop computer, that I picked up on eBay for $28 shipped. Tips on upgrading options - and the mysterious MXM laptop graphics card slot! Link to $6 SSD caddy adaptor: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09...
I have that same model of PC., with an mSata drive installed as the boot drive and I have a mechanical HD., fitted in the caddy for storage, which means that I'm able to keep the DVD., drive installed. I have heard that those discreet graphics cards are not much better than the integrated graphics, however, I have not tried one, it would be best to obtain a passive heat sink as that is what was fitted originally. I have Linux Mint Mate installed and currently the computer works well.
Thanks for the tips! Yeah, I gave up on the graphics card... The mSata on the motherboard is a good option as well. Using mine for Batocera and it runs great with the i7 in it!
@@ToddTinkersWithTech Hello from the UK., I'm not a gamer so I had to use an internet search to find out what Batocera is, I do know that there are many free games in the Linux Mint repository, there is also an i7 installed in my computer, but it's an i7-4790S 3.20GHz +16 gig of ram.. PS., I have subscribed.
