I'm relatively seasoned in shopping and building standard desktop-based machines (aka: i7) but I'm in the market to build my very first proper server and was hoping for a little help. I currently run a single machine that is both my daily workstation as well as my media+document storage/plex...

Alright, think I'll end up going with the Mark 1. Thanks everyone!

I see. Thanks for your recommendations everyone. I do have one final question though: Any reason I shouldn't go with the Mark 1 over the Mark 2? Just a pricing difference due to the armor and 2nd Ethernet?

For the board, what about something more like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132116 Looks better and has faster RAM support (though I know we just established that isn't extremely important). Not really seeing many other differences. Mobo's all generally seem...

Good to know. I'm currently running Corsair Dominator 6GB (2x3GB) 1600 which is also in need of an upgrade (want to take it to 16GB) but I guess it's safe to stick with 1600 then.

Seems like a pretty decent board (don't love the camo but I can manage). Looks like it can't handle very high speed memory though, think that's an issue? I was considering picking up form 2400 G.SKILL ram to go with the Maximus (assuming I went that route).

Honestly I don't really have a great answer other than if I'm going to spend the money to do an upgrade I want to make sure I have the absolute best I can so it lasts me as long as possible until my next one. I also would like it to look nice/high end as well. I don't currently have plans to...

After doing some research it seems the general recommendation is to go with the Z97 for my use cases. Given that I am thinking the following unless anyone feels something else would be better: ASUS Maximus VII Formula Intel i7-4790k Haswell 4.0GHz

Hey guys, Was hoping you would be able to give me some pointers on what I should be looking for in terms of a mobo upgrade. I'm currently running an Asus P6T Delux 1366 mobo with an Intel i7 Bloomfield 2.66GHz and it has been running perfectly fine but feeling like it may be time for an...

Hey sorry I don't check much anymore. I got it from Monoprice.com. They were on a special sale for $18 each at the time.

Here ya go http://www.customize.org/wallpapers/62372 Edit: xristos beat me to it

Yup. Thats it. They were $17.xx each as the sale of the day a little bit ago. I think they retail for like $65? Can't find them on the site right now though.

Got some new monitor arms in a week or two ago so figured I'd post my new setup... And then right behind me if i spin around is my tv

So I've looked around and havent been able to find anything on the subject. I was jus curious if anyone has found a way to keep the chrome title bar when the window is maximized: Windowed: http://www.FreeImageHut.com/view.php?file=23488-2368fhfj.png Maximized...

What a cool setup. Nice work. Did you manually install those overhead lights? If so what are they?
