I really don't see this happening. Remember, when Apple went to Intel from PowerPC it was because Intel processors were better performing. AMD/ARM would be a downgrade. Too many people use their devices for photo, audio, video editing. It's the hippy editing machine. If you downgrade to an...

I would just pick up a Cisco 3550 PWR from ebay for $75. Also Ubiquiti has 3-packs for APs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0ED-0005-00011&Tpk=Ubiquiti They require a controller which you can run as a virtual machine.

Nope, hacking is using a computing system in a way that it was not intended. It's really that simple. The vast majority of hackers in the sense of what you're thinking about are just script kiddies using a gui based application they downloaded off the internet.

Your processor is fine. I would invest the money in a nice HTPC case and a low profile CPU cooler (if needed for case).

I recently purchased this case off Amazon. Overall it is a great value. But here are some tips: 1. You will need a magnetic screwdriver to work within this case. I managed to do it without one, but it was extremely frustrating. I would imagine most people wouldn't be able to install the...

I'm thinking of putting together a small server using an mITX or mATX bundle from Microcenter. Preferably I'd like to put this into a 1U case. Only thing stopping me right now is finding a small enough cooler for the FM2 that I could be sure would fit inside a case. I could go with a 2U mATX...

I have limited experience with Drobo. I have two units. First unit is a B1200i w/ 12 4TB drives & dual disk redundancy. Connected via dual iSCSI to a direct attached server. Writes seem to max out around 800-1200MB of data per second on sequential read/writes from the server which has 4 10k...

That's not really fair in my opinion. AMD power usage is all over the chart and their TDP specs are a joke. When the publications were written they didn't know how much of a dog the Bulldozer platform would be or how incredibly low AMD would be underrating their TDP specs. Your board was...

Yup, Apple tends to be a PIA with service on iPads, iPhones and iPods. Very strict on what they will support and overly priced replacement parts/labor compared to other vendors.

It is expected to have a 15% percent performance increase over Piledriver. It is up to you if you feel it is worth waiting for. I personally wouldn't wait a year to upgrade a CPU if I felt it was necessary now. There is always something faster coming out next year. That said the 965BE is no...

EDIT: Scratch what I had. Do you have a box you could use as a firewall? Second NIC on a PC that's always running?

What router do you have?

If you have a Microcenter near you they have excellent pricing on the 3570K and typically comes with motherboard combo discounts. I agree the 2500k/3570k is probably your best bet. It is generally better than AMD for gaming, photoshop, etc and the better memory handling will help with your...

Chrome and Dolphin HD are two free browsers that are superior to the Safari browser.

It has been debunked all over the internet. The chinstrap tool is a shill. http://www.overclock.net/t/1348126/fx-8350-better-than-intel/40#post_19023333
