Thanks for the advise y'all, especially on the hole pattern so I've ditched the the original 12U on Amazon. I searched around CL, but most were 42U and nothing smaller than ~20U's for miles around. Fortunately, Monoprice is in my backyard so I'm going with their 12U rack and included 2U tray for...

My network gear in a closet, in the back under a table on the floor, and I'm about to remodel the closet so I'm going to get this off the floor and into a small rack. The current setup is: ~20 ethernet cables throughout the house terminated into a patch panel 18 port switch and 3 PoE injectors...

X570 mATX is overkill but not needing a BIOS update and the price being $170, which is only a bit more than a very nice B450 or X470, seems like a good deal, and I'm set on the 3700X. For the RAM, I am overclocking hence the push for CL14. Just placed my order for everything except for the...

I'm still rocking my 7 year old i5-3570K and AMD 7970, and while I game considerably less, I'm beginning to really struggle on the rare occasion I do. The only consideration I have is the case cannot be larger then 20" (H) x 9" (W) x 17" (D), and must have top mounted ports as the case will go...

No basement so I've got my server equipment in my walk in closet using the IKEA rack. NAS/media server, 1U 24 port POE switch (crazy loud with 6 fans running all the time), 1U patch panel, and a pair of UPS's. I personally would not as it would be a considerably amount of work for a tiny...

My wife went from a Note 2 to a 6 Plus and she's happy. A lot thinner, lighter, and since we've used iPhone's since the 3, she got all the apps from before which she didn't have/want/buy from the Android market. Oddly enough, no Amazon Prime Instant Video for Android but there is for iOS which...

Yes. While there probably is a mount beefy enough to do this, it doesn't serve a purpose unless you will be swinging this 250 pound screen around. Build a support that closes the 15 degree gap, and bolt this directly into as many studs as possible. Better safe then sorry.

As someone that always bought a 16gb since I didn't use much drive space, the $100 difference from 16gb to 64gb is a great value upgrade compared to the prior $100 to 32gb and $200 for 64gb.

My Logitech G7 is on it's last legs, and is finally giving out after nearly a decade of use. I've been looking at mice for the last 3-4 days, I'm having a hard time matching something similar, and most B&M stores around me don't have a good display selection of mice. So far, in terms of feel and...

Not sure where you got the unreliable/dishonest/angry part of your post came from as you made a statement and I asked a question. Following up with what you said though and bringing it into the OP's question, for less then $100, what would you recommend for an AP?

Security is important but almost any reputable piece of hardware you buy these days will cover the vast majority of consumers. If your primary focus in on the consumer side (e.g., streaming movies and music, wifi to devices), you will be fine with a router. OpenWRT unlocks more options in a...

Oops, never use my laptop and it was automatically connected to my old E3000. I'll reupdate this in a bit. iPhone via speedtest shows 9.58 mbps though vs. 30mbps on my gaming PC.

I'm getting ~7.5mb/s using Teracopy. Humor me and tell me how many units you've tested as I'd be interested to know that too?
