    A few days ago, I was at the hospital for the extraction of a tooth.
    As usual, they took my temperature, Pulse and Blood pressure prior to the extraction.
    The reading was 135/45.
    The dentist adviced me to go to see a Cardiolog ASAP as 45 was way too low.
    He adviced me also to eat more salty foods to make my blood pressure go up a little bit.
    After all these years, avoiding salt intake and taking a lot of medication to get my blood pressure down, I was adviced to eat salty food again.
    Something sounds wrong here.

     

    Welcome to the Club,

     

    Also beyond me mine is all over the place for last few weeks, 

    At 11:30 BP 101/57 this morning but at 7:30 was 135/67 also low so did not take my BP Meds  yet it still kept going down.. ?  bed time so checked it just now 123/71 so OK to go to bed... at the weekend passing out was down to 63/49  !!  so many days this month have not taken any BP Meds at all other day cutting My Med's in halve....... Have a full detailed list for the Dr on Friday...

     

    If you have not got one, then buy a BP Monitor I have had one for years and before any Med's always take a reading = know how much med's I need.

     

    If it is not Blood pressure then it Blood Sugar is all over the place last few weeks mostly way to low + often not taken my Insulin or just part of my daily units  again a BS Monitor is a must if your Diabetic my monitor give me an idea of how much Insulin I need to take

     

    Maybe it is the joys of being old ?  BS + BP problems for 33 years

    Someone who walks around Pattaya with near 5oz of gold strung around their neck at 1.30am needs their head examining. 

    To me Anyone, Anywhere at Any time........  don't see the point + that also goes for expensive watches..

     

    If you must wear a necklace appear this new 3D thing would be the way to go ?  Men's 3D printed Thai Gold Necklace 1,060 baht..  anyone stealing it would get a shock as it is worth nothing

    No OS included.

    As you said + have done for years simple and cheap just a few mouse clicks.

     

    Still would rather build my own, would have the hardware brands I want and trust/used for years, just not as able as I was

    RAM & SSDs are relatively cheap these days, and W11 is downloadable from Microsoft. Get a key from eBay for less than a tenner.

    7800 from Lazada as opposed to 20k from JIB. Caveat emptor.

    As said my eyes are not what they used to be or for that matter are my hands that steady, so a PC ready to go in my mind would be better, than having to part build a new PC

     

    Newest system AM 5 board + DD5 Ram, is also on my list. under 16.000 baht + would be delivered same day + could fit my present SSD + HDDs

    I have had Intel NUCs for years, and all have had two HDMI sockets, 4K not 8K.

    Where would you buy an 8k monitor or obtain 8k content to display?

    Not even interested in 4k + or even 2 x HDMI, but that is what it says it comes with - maybe if I live that long will have to replace the TV, so maybe 4k ?  My Acer 32" Curved Monitor is newish so not looking to replace that.

     

    just looking to replace my 13 years old AMD FX Pc so maybe will buy a Mini, my eyes are not what they used to be so a ready build maybe better then self build PC

    Piggy backing on this a little...

     

    I have two monitors used for a home office set up that I rarely use.

    I'm thinking of a Mini-PC for my Son and hooking in the two monitors.

     

    He'll likely want to play some games (although not heavy games - just stuff like Roblox & Minecraft).

     

    Thus: Do these mini-pc's handle multiscreen output and some gaming ?

     

     

    I did look at the BlackVue MP60 - but didn't spend enough time looking deeply into it to establish viability.

     

    https://www.amazon.com/Blackview-Computer-Processor-Business-Ethernet/dp/B0BJ6HMSDP?th=1

     on your link shows 2 HDMI

     

    •  Looking at the Ryzen 7 [maybe will buy] says Supports 8K displays & multiple screens. has 2 HDMI plugs

    Re your link  - Yes JIB have them but

    Memory =  • Not Included

    Storage  =  • Not Included

     OS =  • Not Included

     

    so add these on = expensive on JIB = around 20.000+  baht

     

    The Lazada link - Bmax B6 looks a great deal all included + already in Thailand for 7,800 baht with Free delivery

     

    I was already looking at the ' Bmax Official Store'

  8. Went to immigration for a Certificate in 2004, what a performance, + took 3 weeks for in to arrive, never been back for a Certificate since at immigration ...

     

    Use the local Town Hall, need - Passport, Blue Book, letter from owner + copy of there i.d + the head man of the local Village, done in a few mins FREE..   

    Ok past few years is easy as I am on there Computer so they just look up last entry put on a new date, print the local headman signs and they take it to the Junta for the big red seal.

  9. Not only big ticket item buy at Home Pro,  Needed RECESSED LED PANEL LAMP 60x60

     

    Home Pro + Global  House   have them 1,590 - 1.890 baht each

    Lazada 199 baht, in the past 2 years have bought 4 all perfect, bit thin but works fine, 2 others small ones about the same price years ago and sill working fine..

     

    air purifier bought at Home Pro. they replaces it under warranty within 3 months, even the replacement only works for a short time, as I can remember cost around 3.000 + baht  !!      yet the 590 baht one from Lazada  years ago still working fine 

     

    it is all a bit pot luck

    Hi Folks, 

     

    I do not, really, mean to take up too much of your time in the consideration of my next desktop computer.

     

    But, also, I think that some others might be interested in how to get the most bang for the buck.

     

    a.  I have pretty much settled upon this CPU (INTEL CORE I5-13500 2.5 GHz (SOCKET LGA 1700)) as the one that I will buy next week.

     

    b.  My only question now is... What mainboard might be best?

    1. I will attach three monitors.  (and these are sort of legacy monitors, some without HDMI ports, etc, although I can buy adaptors, of course.)  ALSO, I might want to attach 4 monitors in some cases, because I think that the onboard Intel CPU graphics can accommodate 4 monitors.  Although, I will need to check this.)

    2. I need to attach two scanners, and at least one USB microphone, and a few other things.

    3. Needs to be really reliable.  I have had problems with capacitors burning out in the distant past on other mainboards, probably due to salt air off the Pacific Ocean.

    4.  I always opt of ASUS motherboards...and I know what to expect.  And, I like what I get.

     

    c. After this question of which motherboard to choose, I have my second only question of what 500-watt powersupply to select.

     

    I have no idea.

    It seems to me that there must be a heavy import duty on powersupplies to Thailand...but why I do not know.

     

    So, which power supply might be best from those offered at JIB?

     

    d.  I always buy my computer stuff at JIB.  I am just a creature of habit, and so I will buy everything at JIB in CM.

     

    e.  Concerning the CASE for this new build....

     

    I would like to thank everyone for their suggestions, to date.

     

    I DID learn quite a bit from the Computer Case input from readers here ont he IT forum.

     

    And so, thank you for this.

     

    f.  Now....I am mostly concerned with which socket 1700 mainboard to buy from ASUS.....

     

    I am NOT a gamer.

    And so I do not need superfast RAM or super fast anything.

     

    Except, in the future, I might like to have a PCI-e ramdrive...if you know what I mean.  I just want to speed up the display of information on the screen the moment I hit the button, if you know what I am talking about.

     

    Therefore, I need the capability to install a Samsung Ramdrive....in the PCIe slot, I think.

    image.png.368d3c63a73b4e2be24a1d84f98062b1.png

     

    I will not buy it now.

    But, I might buy a better one within the next several months.

    Until then, I will just use my SSD and my 4Tbyte HDDs....

     

    So, anyway, this is just about it...

     

    I already know the CPU I will buy.

     

    The only question here is what mainboard might be best.

     

    I do not mean to trouble you.

    However, I also realize that there are many here who just enjoy sharing opinions on a Topic such as this, especially when a new motherboard purchase is in the offing.

     

    Thank you and regards,

    Gamma

     

     

    NOTE:  Not such a bad price at JIB for this CPU.....but....maybe I could do better elsewhere?  Or, maybe they might have a promotion next week?  I really do not know.....

    Most new Motherboards these days have 1 or 2  on board M-2 SSD slots on them, [mush faster] so easy to put 1TB WD Black @ 2,700 baht when building  ?

    Why would you think he runs win 11?

    I'm happy enough with win 7 ultimate.

    I see all the higher versions just as a marketing gimmick.

    Some say the Security is better + all the new type software + drivers are better....??   OK I am on Windows 10, but a friend appear happy still using XP

     

    If and when I upgraded/rebuild my PC or buy a new one will give Win11 a try,

    That's true but Ikea and others like that don't have the computer table that I am looking for, the one I want should be about 60 ins from the floor to the desktop, all the others are about 75ins up.

    Maybe a higher chair ?  + a foot stool if your feet do not reach the floor ?   :biggrin:

  13. Good, friendly neighbour's ages range from 9 - 97 years old in our small village been here 20 years. everyone calls me by my Christian name from older than me to youngsters

  14. In all the years been using L:azada most have been perfect, ordered [70 % off Sale] 24 Pegs & 20 SS Hooks Friday evening, item arrived yesterday [Sunday]

     

    Do find odd on Lazada, order something from Thailand = 45 baht delivery charge -  order same item from China  29 baht delivery charge, my last item was from Taiwan also 29 baht delivery charge...    All items were the same, same brand, 'The Good Doctor' from Taiwan was even cheaper = less that 50% cheaper than the cheapest Pharmacy in Thailand

     

    on the other had had many problem with Shopee, wrong item sent, many orders cancelled..

     

    But then we have Tops, ordered 2,650 baht food stuff , nothing arrived on fixed date, 2 week later received message, 'out of stock'  !!   - What on all items about 12 different things.....   !!!    Big C is a waste of time, order then most items no not arrive....  Not used before Lotus's so tried this last week  24 items ordered, 18 items arrived, 4 of these did not order + 2 other items were a different brand + more expensive, so refused., had the money ready 2,160 baht, sorting at the gate paid 820 baht........ waste of time..  must go if someone will take me to Big C Extra myself... as need these items..

     

    Why have them listed if no stock ? why send different items than order ?  Online ordering has gone downhill in resent months ..order = pot luck what may arrive

    Yes looks like Staff at my Branch have no idea....  so need to go into another Branch, my local Branch said cannot must be Android 11 or above....

     

    Would understand if they sold smartphones = want a sale, but they do not, so one day will take both phones Android 9 the other Android 10 into a bigger branch [think there is one at Westgate ? or Big C Extra there was last time I went must be about 2 years ago] maybe better than the 2 staff at my Branch.
