The shipping is $30 USD after adding to cart, and the warranty looks good. If ordering this, it will ship via DHL direct to house and then there will be an additional 12.5% VAT to be paid to DHL upon delivery? Dell would include a proper invoice with it for customs calculation purposes correct?
Thanks.

A complete system is required to play games; board, CPU, memory, storage, GPU, various input and output devices.
I see some decent parts powered by AGILER. Good luck if you use these PSUs in your system. I see integrated Intel graphics being called mid range gaming. I think I saw a gaming rig being sold with the GPU removed. Is it still a gaming system then... Maybe, but only if it suits the games you play.
And by extension... Marketing putting gaming and enthusiast in front of everything being sold. What makes this keyboard a gaming keyboard; I play video games with it... That is all
What makes this gaming motherboard better for gaming... The fact that it has the word gaming written on it.
Fancy gaming cases with LEDfans that have little to no air flow(i'm thinking specifically about NZXT here but almost all of them have done something similar)
I understand that there is a game for almost every level of PC but some people are just a bit optimistic
Faulty switchScHoolboySoloQ wrote:What could cause a laptop to not come on at all?
My friend's laptop sometimes does not respond for many days/weeks but if it comes on it works for a day. They carried it to a technician and they had to hard start it then changed a cmos battery but the day after it stopped responding. They carried it back and the technicians couldn't get it on this time.
So I decided to take it for a few days to check it out. It came on as soon as I came home. I had no problems with it the few days I had it, so I gave it back. Then two days later the same problem happened.
They decided to let a relative look at it. He opened it and removed the battery, still no luck getting it on. He came to the conclusion that it is the motherboard. He eventually got fed up with it and bought a new laptop.
I told him give me it to try to troubleshoot. I have it since Saturday. No issues. It is coming on every time and charging. I am on it right now

I wonder how much shipping and handling would be with a skybox company.

faulty switch & faulty switch connection - resolution buy a new power switch
faulty header connection - resolution - resolder / reflow / replace the connector
Faulty BIOS stack - update the BIOS
not 100% sure what you mean by bootloader controller .....update UEFI ??

DHL is always on point, everything I ordered watercooling parts they taxes and duty were close to what I calculated. When the item reaches Trinidad, DHL will send you a text and email stating the amount to pay (customs duty and VAT)
