PC seems to be rock stable. I also managed to grab 2 4GB DDR2 sticks for around 700 'cause I previously suspected my blue screen woes were because of the old RAM sticks having gone bad. Hindi nga lang mag-boot when I try to mix it with my old 2GB sticks.

Now I'm seriously considering getting a Phenom II X3 or X4 chip to replace the single-core Sempron (unlockable cores, I tried).

Whoa! Sempron?

Deja Vu. I replaced the Sempron 140 LE in my build with an Athlon II X4 630 a couple of weeks after buying it.... way back 2010, to the month.

Any idea how much is the Intel NUC?

My current Linux box is a Phenom II X3 720 BE I assembled back in 2009. I used to have the 4th core unlocked through the BIOS. But, I reverted it back to 3 cores after I built my FX-8350 in 2013. The Phenom II DIY was a rock-solid PC. One of my most satisfying builds.

The Gigabyte motherboard have 8GB DDR3. Once the Phenom II was retired from gaming, I paired it with a GDDR5 GT 640 video card.

I don't like getting rid of stuff that still works fine. So, one thing I might do with the Phenom II DIY is replace the GT 640 with a spare GTX 770, put in Windows 10, and hook up that PC to the kitchen TV. My wife watches a lot of YT content on smart TVs and it just pains me to see how lacking the built-in computer on all of them are.

May naka-experience na ba rito na reversed ang movement ng mouse cursor?

I'm sure walang prank program or virus.

Baka may nakapag-repair na ba kasi mukhang mouse hardware problem?

baka baliktad ang pagkalagay nyo sa surface?

...if you have a spare mouse, use it and see if it is still reversed.

Tried a different mouse on the computer and cursor movement was normal.

Tried the mouse on a different computer and it's still reversed.

Too bad; gaming mouse pa man din ito that I got as an exchange gift.

Bro, the problem is with the cursor movement not mouse scroll direction. I slide the mouse to the left, cursor goes to the right. I slide up, cursor goes down. It's like holding the mouse backwards with the buttons facing you. Hmn... pwede kayang ireverse ang sensor sa loob?

It just sort of happened. I didn't drop the mouse and the cable looks okay.

Most gaming mice have their own proprietary software. Have you installed yours?
