Top products from r/ASU

First and foremost, every ASU student gets a free OEM license of Windows 10 Pro and Office, so don't factor this into the price. I'm going to assume OP either used his ASU license or pirated it... If he didn't, his loss.

Windows 10 licenses are dirt cheap and shouldn't be factored into the cost of a computer, you can buy licenses from bulk OEM keys on ebay for < $10 anyway:

Someone looking to play games should really stay away from this build with a ~$700 budget. Any old intel computer with even a modest graphics card like a 1050ti will far outperform this build.

I advise anyone with this budget to stay away from APU gaming, it really doesn't perform too well given the price.

You can get this and drop $220 into a 1050ti and have something far nicer with little effort and less cost.
Even if it doesn't have an SSD, you can purchase a 120gb SSD for $45 these days.

The motherboard has an NVME port, so you could take this as an opportunity to purchase an even faster drive:

The GPU market is slowly getting calmer, should be able to get a 1060 for $250 if/when prices return to normal.

If you insist on getting everything new check out this build for ~$60 more:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mh6GfH

It includes the z370 chipset, support for overclocking, and a 240gb ssd you can actually fit some games on it

It should outperform his build in every reasonable way, (cpu performance, storage, and of course gpu performance)

I recommend this book:

https://www.amazon.com/Java-Beginners-Guide-Herbert-Schildt/dp/9339213033/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1497923204&sr=1-2&keywords=java+a+beginner%27s+guide

Go through it, do all of the examples. You will have a huge head start. It's tempting to do Python or an "easy" dynamic programming language, but you'll be better served by learning a strongly typed language (don't worry about what that means right now).

I’m currently taking CSE 310 with Richa, and this is the book we use: Intro to Algorithms. I recommend really practicing asymptotic analysis (i.e. big-O, big-theta, big-omega) for algorithms, as well as reviewing and understanding your basic sorting algorithms. These topics are covered in the first few weeks, and they hit fast. Other than that, we’ve just been learning about data structures (e.g. binary trees, red-black trees, hash tables, etc.) and their pseudocode functions which are in the book. Don’t focus so much on the specifics of the code, but rather how they work conceptually. Good luck!

Latex is a great option if you're not allergic. It's cheap, feels like memory foam and is resistant to bed bugs.

Hey so I know you already ordered that lock combo, and if you think you're going to be happy with that, I can definitely understand. However when I rode a bike on campus, I used two of this lock.

The reason I used two was so that I could use one lock to secure the wheel and frame to the rack and then use the other lock to secure one wheel and the frame to another part of the rack.

It sounds a little paranoid, but it ended up paying off. I always left my bike overnights (and weekends) on campus and there were two failed attempts to steal my bike. I know this because there were marks on the bars from where they tried to apply bolt cutters and then the second time, one of the locks was slightly bent out of it's original shape because someone tried to pry it off with some sort of lever.

So basically, just saying that the lock I used was freaking awesome because it held off two theft attempts and when you use two, you know that neither of your wheels will go walking off either.

Although if you think you'll be safe with the combo your using I can understand that.

Yes, buy your own... but it's cheaper at Amazon. You also need to buy your own goggles.

Just get a cheap webcam. This is the one I used for 3 years: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960-000585-HD-Webcam-C310/dp/B003LVZO8S/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2MK1BSM9QO7CA&keywords=logitech+webcam&qid=1562811042&s=gateway&sprefix=logi%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-9

It's very straightforward and every course has a "practice" exam that has you go through the motions. Just don't try to cheat because you think you can get away with it since it's setup like this! I have been in classes with people that got caught and they take it very seriously.

The clicker itself is pointless. It's the account that costs money regardless. Assuming you only have a clicker...people can buy those for 15$ or less.

Also for anyone looking... bookstore is considerably more expensive on these

> Clicker Prices at the Bookstore (Fall 2016)
>
> 1 Year License – $24.99
>
> 4 Year License – $39.99
>
> Bundle (QT Clicker & 4 Year License) – $69.75

Ostensibly it's worth 20$ brand new, since that's the price of them as far as I can tell.

Why not ask Dr. Santos?

If you are interested in kinematics I would look-up Dr. Davidson and ask him if he has suggestions. He is now retired but used to teach a Robotics Kinematics class (MAE). He also wrote this and has been working with kinematics and robotics for decades.

I had a 7' 3/8" thick kryptonite cable which I used to intertwine around my frame, wheels and bike rack. As for the lock I used a brinks brand heavy duty combination. The bike was taken between 4:30-6:30pm so it was dark by the time I got out. This is the new lock I ordered:

So sorry! Yesterday got really busy. I got this in the five port switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FNFSPY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_dPCQDbZWN32Z6

(I'm his roommate) We have a... worn edition of monopoly, A traveler's edition of Catan, Scythe, Empire Builder, Mansions of Madness, Arkham Horror, Chess, and Boss Monsters... I think that's most of them.

>I don't see how its a bad deal locally.. They are literally brand new...

Amazon is also local with what... 3 fulfillment centers in Phoenix? I can have them here Sunday for less than what you're asking. And ya know...actually new instead of "like new".

 

>I am not charging extra

The new one is 15% cheaper than your ask. So that's just wrong.

 

> I would probably be open to negotiating.

I hope those home cooked meals are on the table then because you don't seem like the smiley type.

 

>So unless you wanna buy the books, or talk about the LSAT like the other people in the comments, I don't need your input

Oh man, who made you king of Reddit? I'm not here discussing the geopolitical intricacies of China's South Sea incursions and island building, I'm just pointing out it's kinda silly to expect full price. Don't like it? Tough shit.

Actually here is a 14$ cut no tip required

Buy hair clippers and cut your own hair. The first couple of times you are going to mess it up. But the ROI is pretty impressive on these bad boys.

Yes, but it's a mess.

You have to write a formal lab report every week, and include screenshots of every measurement. Also, for every measurement and calculation you have to do an error propagation.

It's literally pages and pages of (scaled down) screenshots and calculations.It's extremely tedious and time-consuming.

They should have used a platform such as RealTime Physics with informal laboratory reports where you just "fill in the blank" inside of the report. That's what you would be doing at community college.
