    SSD Raid on a Lenovo TS140 using IBM M5015 RAID Card for ESXi?

    That's good to know, I am looking at the K70 Lux RGB just for that reason; to be able to change the back lighting. Its quite expensive though :( Gotta hide the bill from the wifey LOL.

    Help me choose a mechanical keyboard?

    Thanks for this, yea I am starting to lean more towards the MX Reds.. What do you think of the Corsair Gaming K70? I was also looking at the Logitech but their recent G810 rolls their own "ROMER-G" switches, I would think its better to go with something that's already proven to work well such as...

    Help me choose a mechanical keyboard?

    Hello, I am looking to get a new keyboard, the one I currently own (purchased sometimes in 2011) is a MIONIX Zibal which is a Cherry MX Black switches keyboard. It was a good keyboard for its time, but I need to replace it. I use my computer 85% of the time for work (sysadmin) and 15% for...

    Will this DDR4 memory work for my Skylake Z170 build?

    Interesting, maybe when I pick up my order end of this week I will ask to change it. I purchased these at NCIX as they had a good sale going (http://secure1.ncix.com/products/?sku=109232) 2x8GB sticks for $124.95. I guess I could try for...

    Will this DDR4 memory work for my Skylake Z170 build?

    Hey DejaWiz, The Asus Z170 Sabertooth Mark 1 motherboard has specified in their documentation they only support DDR4 2400/2133Mhz memory. The one you linked may not work because it is advertised as DDR4 2666MHz?

    Will this DDR4 memory work for my Skylake Z170 build?

    Thanks Ocellaris, I did see on newegg a couple of users commented that this RAM works great on their Z170 board, so I think I should be fine. We will see in the next few days :)

    Building a new rig based on Intel Skylake, need input..

    Dangman, The problem now is that I already sold the computer (lol whoops). It actually took awhile to sell, but it did and I got coin to build a new one. So right now I don't have a choice, if I still had it I would go with exactly what you said swap the case and add more RAM. The computer...

    Building a new rig based on Intel Skylake, need input..

    I may still decide to go with the i7 so I don't lose the additional cores in the upgrade process.. Just wanted some opinions on what the best memory choice is for the above motherboards. Also the Hero seems to be much more popular than the Sabertooth.. hard to decide which route to go..

    Building a new rig based on Intel Skylake, need input..

    I want to keep up with the tech, my rig is based on 3rd generation of Intel processors, I want to move to the latest generation... while still being able to sell my rig for some good coin... and i guess for the sake of the thrill of building a new rig.
