I'm here for 2 more days this week and the clerk told me they may get a truck on Wed night. I'm going to go back Thursday morning and see if they have it. If not I may just have to buy the h97 board. I looked and they didn't have any MSI mitx boards in stock either. They had an asrock board...

I'm working in ATL this week and was pumped to drop into microcenter and take advantage of their awesome cpu and motherboard combo deals. I'm wanting a mini itx z97 board and had my eye on the asus z97 plus mitx. Just my luck though I get there and that board is sold out. They do have the asus...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Mainly light sequencing with lighorama, video editing with premier pro, and a little photoshop. The light software is the main focus. It's a 32 bit program that I have patched to use 4GB of ram on my current setup but...

I have 5 X 2TB drives in raid 5 for a total of 7.999 TB of usable space in windows 7 64bit. I have over 3TB of used space on these drives but came home Friday night to the drives no longer showing up in My Computer. I looked under disk management and it shows the drives as unallocated space. I...

jadams you are absolutely correct. I work for a competing ISP in the area and when the initial launch was announced here a few years back my stomach sunk in fear of losing the majority of my marketplace to another provider. However now well over a year after the their footprint has been...

What sort of odd crashes have you been having? From time to time I will turn on my tv and have a black screen but from what I have read this is more of an HDMI handshake problem that can be fixed but for me I just hit the live tv button on my remote and within seconds the black screen is gone...

Since you were looking at the silverstone offerings did you get a chance to check out the Grandia series? This on in particular will more than likely be my next build...

I'm not sure about your provider but I've worked for several cable companies in the US and I would try the following. Turn on the tv and the cable box. Now turn off the cable box and hit the menu button on the cable box remote control. If it's the same type of dct, DVR or dta we use in the US...

Agreed but still interesting to learn what I could do with it. Didn't say I was going to try and set it up this weekend or anything. Hiring someone could be a possibility if long term it would turn a profit. You looking for a job? We could use your idea , wait what was your idea again?

@ brshoemak, running a bittorrent server was actually the very first thing that stood out to me when I talked to my wife about building this. However the legality of it all turned me off from it as well. Oh well. @ Red Squirrel, I'm not sure who I would be able to sale that to or where to...

As it currently stands their terms of service are almost non existent. The 1GB speed is a business class speed and is wide open, no bandwidth caps or usage monitoring. The only thing that I could find that would violate any rules would be if I hosted anything that would cause them competition...

Hahaha @ Jadams, my power bill is a bit high in the winter! Also I'm sure I can get a static ip but currently have no use for one but I will check into that. So server farm seems to be the best option right? I honestly have no idea how to make money with a server farm. Can anyone point me in...

Within the last year or so my area has launched what they call the fastest Internet service in the United States with a 1GB upload and download fiber to the home connection. Read about it...

Is your apt in her parents back yard? If not then your pretty much SOL. The only way that I know of to get cable tv to stream from one pc to another with full control is the ceton infinitv 4 card and setting up network tuners. However you would need to be on the same network to make it happen...

I agree with you on replacing the stock fans and the psu 100% but I will disagree with you on the above comment about "server/HTPC is just dumb and a waste of money". Mainly due to using the ceton infinitv 4 cable card tv tuner. I went back and forth between building separate boxes for each a...
