Thanks for the input and advice. I'll just stay with a model that has a single LAN port then. I don't want to make things more complicated than they need to be.:D

One more question, what can a 2nd lan port be used for? I'm deciding between the Synology 214 play and the 214+. The play has 1 lan port while the + has 2. Thanks

Thanks Canna for that suggestion! I just ordered the switch you linked and I will definitely follow your suggestion to run all pc's / NAS off the switch.

Thanks so much for the replies. I found this switch: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EVGIYG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2F6E975V906X0 What do you think? Is auto-negotiation the same as auto-sensing? Thanks

I'm planning on adding a NAS to my home network. Currently I am running 3 wired pc's off my Asus router: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320215. I was planning to add a 4th wired pc in the not too distant future. The problem is I only have 4 RJ45 ports on the rear...

I saw this deal yesterday and ordered one. Returned the same drive I picked up at BB for $50 that cost about $50 more out the door for me (tax). BHphoto has been great for me. In stock stuff ships fast and prices are very good.

Thx OP! Was $32 bucks for me, but worked fine.

Believe G1 have 4 - 12 V rails vs a single rail on the G2 (don't quote me)

showing up as $129.99 now

Taiyo Yuden; Falcon currently my favorites in terms of failure rate and longevity. Sony and Phillips - pretty good write failure rate; can't comment on longevity (haven't been using them long enough to test this out). Currently using some HP -DVR that are CMC Mags. So far so good. I'd...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post my little rant against Asus and their rebates Back in March I purchased an Asus Blu ray burner from Tigerdirect. Within a week of receiving the drive, I submitted my rebate online and received a "tracking number". Two months goes by and I went online...

Thanks all! Will just use the 670 FTW that I have. I fought off the major upgrade bug with your assistance. Just aren't looking forward to switching over to Nvidia from AMD. Have to clear out all remnants of the AMD drivers 1st and then install Nvidia. Or should I just do a clean reinstall...

Thanks OP! So tempting. Too bad I just spent $$$ for fishing reels/ rods!

no luck for me either. Went to local Staples with Ipad in hand showing BB ad. They would only price match if they had the SSD in stock. They didn't so no love for me....

Budget is $400 ish so I'm looking at 770 4gb card. My needs are relatively modest - single monitor, gaming COD Black Ops, resolution 1920. I realize that 4gb is overkill but I'm looking towards the future. $600 ish for a Gpu is way too much for me!
