    How is RAID 1 in single NAS box a good idea?

    In the past two months, I've lost two 3TB hard drives due to power issues. One had a fried PCB due a PC PSU blowing out. The other had a fried PCB due to me attaching the wrong power brick into an external drive enclosure. So it seems to me a RAID 1 configuration where both drives are fed...

    NAS enclosure with INTEGRATED PSU?

    I've seen ones with integrated PSUs that are these 4+ drive RAID monster enclosures. I just want a simple single drive non-RAID NAS with an integrated PSU like my old Linkstation. The new Linkstations have switched to the annoying bricks. :(

    Looking for a solid 4TB drive to buy -- need 24 of them

    Would never buy any other drive other than HGST nowadays. Love my 4TB. But I hear the NAS versions are loud and hot according to NewEgg.

    NAS enclosure with INTEGRATED PSU?

    I had a bad experience with an external drive, plugging in the wrong power brick and frying all the PCBs inside. I'd like to buy a NAS enclosure to replace it, but don't want another annoying power brick. I have an old Bufallo LinkStation that has an integrated power supply, so a normal...

    Looking for router with an Open NAT/DMZ port! Does it exist?

    Ok... what if I get another router with a special DMZ port, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-ER6020-Gigabit-Dual-WAN-Balance/dp/B00A8NWU70/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1376695936&sr=8-3&keywords=dmz+port+router Then I set this new router's static IP address to be the DMZ address in the...

    Looking for router with an Open NAT/DMZ port! Does it exist?

    How does that help me if only one specific IP is allowed to be in the DMZ by my router?

    Looking for router with an Open NAT/DMZ port! Does it exist?

    The problem is I'm tied to a single public IP at a time from the ISP. And everything has to go through the ancient MoCA (Ethernet over Coax) router (a Westell 9100EM). I can't even get a newer router from the ISP. All I could do is ask them to change my endpoint from MoCA to Ethernet so I can...

    Looking for router with an Open NAT/DMZ port! Does it exist?

    Hello folks... I am sick and tired of constantly fiddling with my static IP address on consoles and with my router in order to try and get Open NAT, or trying to choose which ONE of my many consoles get to be in the DMZ, only to have something reset my settings behind my back. Really sick of...

    Black frames/Scanning Backlight + 120Hz for less motion blur? (240Hz/480Hz/960Hz)

    I'd like to chime in with this: If you intend to buy a plasma to play 30FPS limited console games, don't do it unless you are sure you can turn on motion interpolation (on some Samsung plasmas you can't)... because the resulting judder will be incredibly bad, to the point of being unplayable...

    NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi

    How do you get the 231 to do 75Hz? I tried when I first got mine, but never got it to work, so I gave up.

    Best videocard under 300$

    Not if you want DirectX 11.1 support. That was the deal breaker for me. I want to run Windows 8 in full glory eventually.

    Best videocard under 300$

    There is no $300 price point anymore. You're looking at $260 and $360 for anything with an OC, stock is $10 less. I just nabbed a 7870 because I needed (well, OK, WANTED) DirectX 11.1 and cool/quiet operation without spending a fortune. I was tempted to get a 7850 until I realized its not...

    Wait or buy now?

    Totally agree with you. You can't beat the 7870 if you don't want your system to sound like a jet plane in games and only run 1920x1080 res like I do. I'm upgrading from a 4870x2 and CAN'T WAIT for my system to stop sounding like a jet plane and shutting down in the summer due to excess heat...

    7900 price cuts incoming

    Actually, no, it won't affect the 7800, only the 7700 and 7900. In other words, the ones that were too old and slow, or too damn hot and loud, compared to the 7800 series. :) And I just bought a 7870 because Nvidia has nothing to compete with it in terms of performance vs heat/noise/power vs...

    XFX R7850 Black Edition

    Ugh! Why did XFX make TWO flavors of the Black Edition 7850! This is so confusing. Why would they release a 7850 Black with 1 fan, and another with 2 fans?? I accidentally bought the single fan version from NewEgg thinking it was the "super quiet" version reviewed everywhere. But now I...
