Checked out that unit, and reviews are so-so. Looks like just raw file transfer speeds are kind of lacking. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/nas/nas-reviews/31762-iomega-storcenter-ix2-dl-network-storage-reviewed?showall=&start=2

I'm looking for a NAS solution that will support 2 drives and just serves files. I currently have one home PC and one media PC (Intel NUC) on my home network. I use the NUC as an HTPC, so I don't really need anything that does trans-coding. All I want is just a common place to store my files...

Initially I set out to build a nice mostly silent HTPC system that I could also use as a miniserver for web-development. I was looking to go with the smallest case I could find and something that just sipped power, but yet, be powerful enough to stream HD content to my TV. I had a pretty...

New build: Proc: i7 3770K (thinking of OC to 4.2~4.4) Case: Silverstone TJ08-E Heatsinks: Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme or Corsair H80 The Tuniq would be cheaper, and I like the idea of less moving parts, but I'm not sure if it would be enough to keep the 3770K overclocked to 4.2-4.4GHz...

Building a new Ivy Bridge rig and I'm torn on what to do w/ my case situation. I already own a pc-a05b and I love it. My new build consists of a Micro-ATX mobo, so I don't need a full ATX case anymore and my build is pretty minimal. I was wondering if the airflow/ergonimics of the V354...

I looked this up, Soyo reports having a 6ms gtg response time while the Korean monitors also say about 6ms gtg. I couldn't find any info about input lag on the Korean ones, but I know the Soyo is pretty good in that category. Anyone wanna add 2 cents?

I'm still rocking the old Topaz S (It flickers every once and while due to the power supply prolly going bad, but I've found if I smack it hard enough, it'll stop -- SCIENCE) And I'm thinking about jumping on one of the cheap Korean 27" IPS displays being talked about. Question is, I've...

I currently own a XFX Radeon HD 6870 and it totally rocks, upgrading to a 6990 would mean mind melting speed! Count me in!!! :D

I guess it just sucks that they automatically made it a "refund" when I would have MUCH preferred to wait until one comes back into stock versus buying a 280 dollar XFX now... :(

So I jumped on a sapphire 6870 from newegg couple of weeks ago for 239.99 and was pretty happy I got one before they went out of stock. Took the card home and it was clearly defective with strange green sparkling artifacting (tried driver/os alternatives). The card was bunk. So Newegg...

I tried using the other dvi out and still same green flickering. Already got an RMA going via Newegg. :sigh:

Started up bad company 2 again and played for about 20 min and never saw any artifacts? ... Could it be gone??? Just started furmark again, and actually saw a few of the green sparkles, but not nearly as much.... Wait, as im typing this, i see green sparkles all around this window. Green...

So, I rebooted my machine and noticed no sparkling on the window borders when windows loaded. Thinking the card might still be too "cool" to artifact, I've got furmark running again, and initially I see no green sparkles, I'm confused... I'm going to let it keep running and see if they come...

Just installed my new Sapphire 6870 and played some left for dead 2 and it ran flawlessly. I then booted up Battlefield Bad Company 2 and again I was seeing amazing framerates (compared to my old 8800GT) But then, I started looking a little bit more closer to some darker areas within the game...

I've got somewhat of an 'outdated' system. Currently running a Core 2 Duo E6750 (2.66GHZ) P45 chipset board. I just bought a 6870 (hasn't come yet), and I'm wondering if I just spent way more money than I should have on a video card, when/if my CPU is going to be limiting it like crazy...
