    SVS and Outlaw Subwoofer Sales - President's Day

    Another thumbs up for SVS - I've been using the same 20-39 PC+ since 2003, still shakes the house with a nice clean sound.

    Corsair Air 540 case $99.99 AR @ Microcenter (B&M and Online)

    Try storing all your dvds and blurays for networked home-theater-PCs. I'm up to 26TB and counting in a 4U rack. They could have easily put several more 3.5" bays (or at least made them optional) and made this a good choice for a home file server, too much wasted space.

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    Shipping seems expensive, but this thing is enormous and heavy. It also had probably the best packing job I've ever seen - the server was completely encased in a few inches of molded foam. Short of someone driving a forklift into the package, you're pretty much guaranteed to get it in good shape.

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    Before I ordered mine I asked them specifically if it included screws for all the hard drive bays, they said yes, and a baggie full of them was taped to the server when I got it.

    27" QNIX QX2710 Evolution 2 impressions

    I ordered mine on Friday from green-sum and got it in Chicago on Monday. Damn impressive that companies from Korea can compete with Amazon Prime in shipping speed.

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    They're actually 3 140mm fans, not 120mm. It may be a little hard to see but they are actually very secure in place and won't budge. The 3 fans themselves are zip tied together tight on the front and back of the fan grills so that it's one big piece (you can't see the side of the fans towards...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    Here's a pic of what I did (much better than the crazy loud 80mm fans that were in there):

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    I don't know if they are just selling on ebay now, but when I purchased mine we just talked over email and paid through paypal without using ebay at all.

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    INCREDIBLY loud. Like if you had it in your office with the door closed you'll hear it elsewhere in the house, not even kidding. The linked avs these has some info on how to quiet it down. I personally replaced the two server PSUs with an ax850, swapped out the two 80mm exhaust with quieter...

    [USED] Ultimate File Server - 24 Bay SuperMicro Opteron Servers w/24 Port RAID $299+

    Yeah these have been pretty popular on avs and the unRAID forums. I bought the quad core, and after swapping in a consumer level PSU and fans its a great setup that's extremely cheap for what you get, pretty much turnkey 24bay server. As for the drive size question, I have some 4tb drives...

    Corsair Vengeance K70 Review

    Any idea when the blue and brown versions are getting released?

    MSI Lightning 770 Power Question

    Have a quick question that may seem somewhat obvious (been out of the high end pc scene for a number of years). I just bought a 2560*1440 monitor and am looking to drive it with a 770, in particular the MSI Lightning. That board has two 8pin power connectors, but it ships with two seperate...

    Logitech G710 Gaming Keyboard (Mechanical MX Brown)

    From what I've seen I think this is the first keyboard with brown switches that also has a dedicated volume key/roller (not dual purpose with the function keys). I'll wait for some more reviews, but I may replace my CM Storm Quickfire pro with this, as the lack of dedicated volume keys are my...

    I need a camera that actually takes the pic when you press the button..

    I just started learning about digital cameras, but have recently found a decent camera with a 10x zoom that isn't enormous (pocketable). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830180146
