    15 SATA HDD to 1 PC

    Great info from everyone so far, thanks! So, random question then, when you start getting to that many drives, whether or not through 2 addin cards or 1 card + motherboard ports, are there any possible bottlenecks based on CPU, Memory or even Chipset I should be thinking about.

    15 SATA HDD to 1 PC

    Recently picked up a Rosewill RSV-L4500 for a project I've been working on, and since it's got 15 drive bays, it got me thinking if it would be possible, without breaking the bank, to populate all 15 bays and run them from a single motherboard. Anyone have any thoughts if there's a reasonably...

    Do I need to Jump to a x370?

    So, here's my situation. I'm migrating over to an AM4 platform and already have MSI B350 Tomahawk that seems pretty good, but I'm trying to figure out the best way forward with a minor situation I have. I currently have a Plextor 1 TB NVMe M8PeY drive as well as a Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming...

    GTX 1080 to 2 DVI Only Monitors?

    Agreed with everyone's comments, I'd much rather go straight DisplayPort, but I'm certainly not going to throw out 2 great monitors just because they only have DVI inputs. :)

    GTX 1080 to 2 DVI Only Monitors?

    I ended up going with a Gigabyte 1070 G1 Gaming and overall I'm pretty happy with it. Easily more than 2x the performance of the old GTX 770. Though I wasn't able to get the two Displayport -> DVI adapters working to run both monitors off the GPU Displayports. If I try to do that, I only get...

    GTX 1080 to 2 DVI Only Monitors?

    Alright, have a real First World problem here. :) Looking to upgrade my current GTX 770 to a GTX 1080 in the near future and I'm running 2 Monoprice 27" CrystalPro 2560x1440 monitors. The monitors are great, but they're an older (2014'ish) model that only has a single Dual Link DVI-D input and...

    Cheap Tablet to Stream Audio across LAN?

    Anyone have any suggestions on a super cheap tablet that I can use to simply stream music that I have sitting on a Windows based file server sitting across a LAN? I originally was trying to get some old phones to do the trick (HTC 8X and HTC Evo 4G), but I have to jump through a lot of...

    General Hardware Questions Related to Incoming Kidlet

    So, wife and I have a newborn on the way, and that's got me thinking about a bunch of 'techish' related questions on hardware that I may need to look into once the baby is here. For those of you out there with kids, would love to hear your thoughts/feedback on these questions or any other ideas...

    Yahoo Slams New 'Digital Will' Law

    Yahoo has no problem changed their Terms of Service to help themselves at any point, funny how they're screaming when someone is asking them to change it. I think a simple change in the way we do wills is needed at this point. If you don't want anyone to have access to your stuff when you die...

    Good gaming headset that let's the outside world in

    Hehe, excellent. How well will they hold up, and any idea how tight they are?

    Good gaming headset that let's the outside world in

    I've been happily using my Corsair 1500 headset for a while now, and they're great. We're about to have a new 'addition' to the family though and I'm going to need to be able to hear what's going on in the outside world as well. The 1500's are great, but when I have them on, a firetruck could...

    Display / Window Refresh

    Not sure if this is a monitor or GPU issue to be honest, but I've noticed that I've been having problems with 'refresh' of windows and graphics on monitors, particularly when I move a window. Either the contents of the window won't update right away, or the window outline will leave trails of...

    Monitor Distance & PPI?

    I'm at a crossroads here. I currently have 2 of the Monoprice 27" 2560x1440 IPS LED monitors and to be honest, I really like them, but I'm wondering whether I need to start looking for something else. Could be that I'm starting to get into old fart territory, but text on these monitors is just...

    Loud Switching Noise on Startup/Shutdown/Res Change

    I'm wondering if anyone else if getting a relatively loud 'switching' type noise coming from their monitors when they start up, shut down, or change resolution? I've been trying to run Monoprice 27" IPS/LED Monitors for a while now and have already had to RMA 2 of them for making an extremely...

    Swivel 1440 just the right size?

    Hey folks. I'm running with a Monoprice 27" 2560x1440 LED CrystalPro monitor, and I'm looking for two side monitors that have swivel mounts that I can put in landscape mode on either side. I thought I had a good find and picked up two ASUS VE198TL's. LED, right resolution and good price, but...
