My laptop was suffering from overheating, probably due to the excessive heat and humidity here..

I bought a CoolerMaster Laptop Stand, it has 3 fans, which keeps the components cool..

Good suggestion. For my laptop I've found it's enough just to keep it off the the desktop using a collapsible laptop stand. Handy for traveling as when folded it doesn't take up much space.

Awhile back my monitors which are connected to a hub were starting to act flaky. Figured it was because the hub was overheating, so hot glued a couple of old pens to the base to allow air to circulate underneath. Haven't had a problem with the monitors since then.

Your post got me to thinking I should invest in a cooling system for my laptop. Decided to splurge and bought the one pictured below from Lazada for the eye watering cost of 65B + 22B shipping. 💸 My biggest concern was the fans would be too loud, but when I turned it on I was amazed how quiet it is.

My all in one Acer PC is getting on for 8 years old and i'm thinking of getting a new one, my old one is starting to really slow up and do strange things and i can quite see the day when nothing happens on fire up. Now i really like the all in one PC's with wifi mouse and keyboard and have been really happy with the Acer and i see on Lazada i can get an Acer AIO C24 PC for 25K, would this PC and its specs be a good buy ?

Now my problems really start when i want to transfer everything over to my new PC, now i've researched google so i have some ideas as to what to do but is there any concrete advice you can give me ?

Thanks guys in anticipation. 

I would get a laptop with an i7 CPU because it can handle large HEVC 1080p video files. The newer generation i7s can play 2160p HEVC files.

Good advice, but 2 years too late.

Maybe i7 CPUs don't do dates very well.😁

However, my i7 interacts well with my 1 terabyte "educational" video collection.😀

Looks like my porn collection isn't as large as yours. 

Your CPU is running a lot cooler than mine.

Nice temperatures.

I also have a 2 TB portable hard drive.

How many TB do you have?

I run a lot of virtual machines although not at the same time. Each one single purpose with about a 100GB hard disk.

Air cooled.

Noctua NH-U12S. Can run 2 fans in push/pull but I only need the push.

I didn't include my USB drives.

First got a Samsung 500GB drive.

Then Seagate brought out the 1TB USB drive so I got one.

Then they brought out the 2TB, have one of them also.

Then the 3TB and after that a 4TB.

Thinking about the 8TB but if I clean up the existing drives would probably have enough space. Mainly keep various system disk backups on the USB drives.
