A Lenovo ThinkCentre M71e-3133 B3U Tower desktopwith extensive upgrades to it.SSD, CPU are new alongside a PCIe USB 3.0 adapter and USB Wi-Fi Adapter.Notes
- The desktop needs to be shutdown first in Windows, then powered off by holding the button for 3-5 seconds. It does not power off normally as the fans and lights stay running. (Have tried looking into it by turning off various settings but nothing changes)
- The Inateck PCIe 1x USB 3.0 Adapter Card works but may not run at the correct speed depending on the device. I am unsure if it's a PCIe 2.0 issue, a known issue with the card, or just the drivers and Windows 7 not playing nicely.
Windows may state "This device can perform faster if connected to a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Port" despite the device itself supporting it.
- As stated, the motherboard is PCIe 2.0, there is space for single or dual-slot graphics card but no external power. Reminder that the power supply is only 280W
- DO NOT let Windows 7 update anything by itself. ONLY use Legacy Updateor direct driver installs as Windows tends to trip over itself a lot when installing updates or drivers on it's own.------------Condition: Used (Refurbished)Type: Desktop (Tower)Color: BlackBrand: Lenovo
