I didn't really need a computer upgrade, my "old" system had an AMD FX quad core with 12 gb of ram and a 750 TI OC GDDR5 2 GB card in it. The problem is my current living situation leaves me with one plug for all my devices, I had to "upgrade" to something that uses less watts and amps.


I ended up with a Dell AIO, the CPU is better being a 6th gen i7 from Intel, the ram is the same at 12 GB, I have 2x the space on the OS solid state drive, but the graphics are not near as good as my previous system. This thing though uses less than 1/4 the power of my previous unit.

Effects of the Upgrade

Instead of posting a warning of possible delays in each community, I decided it would be easier to keep it all in one post. Delays will be minimal during the transition but just in case here's the heads up. The transition should only take a couple days.

Hive account@taskmanager - Vote bot system should continue to work just fine, possible delays in adding new users to the votebot.


Hive account@upfundme - Thanks to Hive account@madstacks, the #upfundme community should function normally.


Hive account@prizeportal - The next wave of prizes will be delayed until the transition is over.


Hive account@tmholdings - Hopefully the Steemit Newbies Steembasicincome Sponsorship Program will continue as normal, possible delays in posting with steemautos pending posts under maintenance.

So what happens to the power hog?

I am going to sell it to my good buddy Hive account@bidnat for STEEM! There is nothing wrong with the system and he could make good use of it. It is still powerful enough for most games on higher settings. I am going to let him take it and make payments so he can use #upfundme to help pay for it.
