    I need to spend the day getting the hang of PC, too.- TM too jammed up and have never started anything else since I reinstalled Win 7...also, wanting to get a larger monitor that I can run several screens on at the same time...hopefully big changes for 2017.

    Pretty much. I have a group of pandas I run when I'm not panda'ing anything else in hopes I get something. This is one of those cases.

    I have 31 Robins going but they are the only thing going in my PC atm.

    I also have them set to once so if I get one of them that one stops pandaing until I start it again.

    I can certainly try to help. Although if it is a super budget build like @Ana* needed a prebuilt can still end up being cheaper. But for gaming PCs or anything past super budget building yourself is better :)

    Or at the very least I could help you get something together and then you can post to https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/ So that you can get a second opinion on stuff.

    Must be a ram issue or something... or the CPU on the laptop is really slow. :dunno: But once you have a desktop that won't be an issue anymore.

    I didn't for any other responses, but it is a qual block. They do this to prevent you from working on their HITs instead of issuing a regular block that will negatively affect your account.

    If you read through the questions and answers on the main page. Acer has said it does have a pci-e x16 so it can accept a video card and that it has UDIMM ram so you would need to make sure to get the right kind to upgrade but does have an open slot if you wanted to add more.
    Here is the page on Acer
    https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/DT.B59AA.002

    A gtx 1050ti sc is $160 on amazon right now and is an entry level card. You wouldn't be able to max out graphics on games but you could play games on lower graphics. It only recommends a 300 watt psu and that is what is in that Acer. You can slowly add things to make it work better/faster.

    MTS v 0.3.0.9 has been pushed to github. This resolves all outstanding bugs that I have been made aware of (outside of the memory leak that affects al browsers based off of Chromium 57). HF still has a few small updates needed before that is checked off. Firefox wise, live updating for projected earnings doesn't work along with anything that directly copies to the clipboard (Forum export, not direct, breakdown export, include/blocklist export etc..) and will need a separate workaround added because FF is dumb.

    ummm half and half the world isn't quite in 2017 yet, so does it count as a 2017 tragedy or not?

    Depends on if the desktop ends up going out the window, the cat might survive the laptop, the desktop I am quite confident in saying not so much.
