    Random SATA disconnects - which component is really at fault?

    Yeah. Using Symbolic Links to Save Space on Your SSD (I'm not sure this is the best tutorial out there about this but... you get the idea) Wonderful thing, those symlinks. Otherwise, my primary SSD would've been filled to the brim a long, long time ago.

    Random SATA disconnects - which component is really at fault?

    Frankly, I'm not sure which component is the issue but I posted this in the motherboard section because... well... these days, it's always the motherboard, isn't it? I think this is the fourth motherboard I'm on with this rig (CPU, RAM, casing and main SSD have stayed the same in the last 5...

    Cheap NAS that can automatically power on and off?

    Sorry for the late reply, I'm a bit busy actually buying the apartment where I plan on using this stuff. ;) @ cantalup: Don't worry about it. Maybe I should've written where I live right in the first post. :) But actually... it doesn't matter much because the most important thing is...

    Cheap NAS that can automatically power on and off?

    You forgot the power tail though, didn't you? Plus shipping, I'm guessing it'll actually be a total of 70-80$ But considering I didn't find a switched PDU (which was a great suggestion though - I didn't know about the existence of such things) for less than 120€ in my region, it still would...

    Cheap NAS that can automatically power on and off?

    I'm just wondering... Do you guys know of any power plug (doesn't have to be a hub, in fact, I'd prefer single outlet devices) that can be remote controlled via Ethernet (or other wired solutions like the dect stuff) and command line? I guess with any of these things one could possibly sniff...

    Cheap NAS that can automatically power on and off?

    Thanks for all the help, it's especially good to know that the banana pi will boot automatically. As far as how the remote controlling will work... I haven't figured that out for myself yet. All I know is that I want to use as many wired components as possible (I very strongly dislike WiFi for...

    Cheap NAS that can automatically power on and off?

    All I really need from a NAS is that it provides storage via LAN. None of the bells and whistles usually present. Instead, I want it to consume as little power as possible. So I want to be able to turn it off remotely whenever I go to work. So far, the only solution I found is using a Banana...

    More mainboard failures in recent years?

    You know... that makes a lot of sense. Although for me, it usually seems to be different controllers. Often times, it's USB ports (and sometimes SATA) that start acting increasingly strange, until some of them stop working and some months later, the whole board is usually dead. Like with this...

    More mainboard failures in recent years?

    I'm wondering... I've been building PCs (not professionally, mind you - I'm talking about home use ;) ) for about 15 years now. In the first 5 years or so, it would sometimes happen that a graphics card, a sound card, maybe a DIMM, a network card, etc. failed. It was annoying but usually cheap...

    Even a chance for OLED monitors?

    The input lag that guy reports is horrible. He writes that without any "display improvement features", he measures 34ms 80% of the time. Sometimes up to 50. I thought OLED displays were supposed to not only have no ghosting but also no input lag?

    Even a chance for OLED monitors?

    25" and full HD! Now that's what I'm talking about! I wonder how much this thing is. Anybody here working in the medical field or willing to pretend to be to figure out the price? ;) Although... I suppose it's probably about the same as the BVM-F250 (broadcast monitor) - around $13000...

    Even a chance for OLED monitors?

    I for one can't wait for your measurements :) As for HCFR - Don't necessarily bet on it. I tried to use mine with HCFR and it's not being recognized. I already asked in the "official unofficial support thread" at the AVS forums but they only thought my device may be faulty or not properly...

    Even a chance for OLED monitors?

    Pricey is relative... If you consider its accuracy in comparison to other colorimeters on the market and their price... I actually find it surprisingly cheap. I mean... you have often wildly inaccurate colorimeters with prices ranging from about 70-150€ and then you have the powerhouse...

    Even a chance for OLED monitors?

    Ahh... Well. Then I have a follow-up ;) Why didn't you just ask for a refund after about 5 minutes and go see it another time? ;)

    Even a chance for OLED monitors?

    I suppose that's true. Though I seem to remember having read at some point that big CRT projectors, especially the Barco high-end models were actually intended for small movie theaters, not home theater use. So... could that maybe explain good black levels at small theaters? Depends on very...
