    Reminds of connecting bridges of years past! Amazing!

    Best Video Card for GAMING (with i7-8700)

    What's the best "reasonable," which I'd define as 75% of optimum. Meaning the most bang for your buck.

    Nice, managed to pick up Dirt for free! Thanks.

    Best NAS for nontechnical, with internet?

    Phrik is right. Pay for Dropbox, Box or Google Drive. No need for hardware with a 10GB requirement. Freenas is a terrible suggestion if it's actually 10GB of data, and there's a non-technical requirement. Heck, Google Drive comes with 15GB free! Figure out which interface you like supporting...

    Returned my oculus

    I played Half Life 2 on the Oculus DK2, it was pretty amazing feeling, but did not feel like an integrated product. The wow factor was pretty substantial though. Not enough to get me to replay the whole game though.

    Western Digital RED 8TB Helium HDD Review

    Nice sized drive, though this kind of thing is another nail in the coffin of RAID-5. Makes me pause a bit when running RAID-Z2 even. Do you all think it makes sense to stay a size or two behind the cutting edge and up the number of HDDs a bit instead of rlying on these huge platters?

    Nice deal, thanks.

    Dell S2716DG - $479.99 - bestbuy

    I got mine for $449.99. I don't think this is overpriced, another hour of my time is worth far more than $30. I'd fire and forget if I were you.

    Recommend 8TB drives for ZFS mirror raid home server

    Didn't know about those, will have to check them out, thanks! Those big drives make me pretty nervous though for re-silvering and other related operations. I usually like to stay at least 1 size behind the maximum drive size of the day. That might just be me being spooked though.

    HW RAID6 with 12 x 6TB HGST 7K6000 drives

    Raid-Z2 is a good option, but keep in mind that you'll need to learn about the host operating system either in Freenas, OpenBSD or something similar. There's a non-trivial learning curve there.

    Dell S2716DG - $479.99 - bestbuy

    I love this monitor. TN prices with IPS performance. ++ to EricGRIT's advice on the settings. Mine looked washed out as well before I set things up.

    Dell 24 Gaming Monitor - S2417DG - for net $400

    Lots of interest in these monitors, not surprising to see that they've gone quickly. I was just playing Arkham Knight on mine last night!

    Dell 24 Gaming Monitor - S2417DG - for net $400

    I would agree, and posted myself in that very thread a couple of months ago when the deal was going around. Got the 27" myself for $475 and was very pleased. Waiting for a better price / deal -- such is the conundrum of building computers! Thanks for pointing out the possibilities with the 27"...

    Dell 24 Gaming Monitor - S2417DG - for net $400

    Grab the very well reviewed Dell 24" gaming monitor for $475, and get a $75 gift card as well. At a net price of $400, you're about 70 bucks under the lowest price that CCC has seen. I have the 27" inch version and love it. The bezel is quite thin and a site to behold. This is not your typical...

    O'Reilly Safari subscriptions half off!

    That's too bad about the saved lists and the downloads, but not too surprising given publishers' concerns around DRM. I can also recommend No Starch Press as an excellent, DRM-free alternative if you'd rather own your material, as opposed to rent. It's good to have options!
