Agreed. I wouldn't bother with TR4 unless I was getting at least the 1920x. The lone exception, being that you need many PCIe lanes without the increased CPU cores. If the lanes aren't needed and the 1920x is out of the budget range, I would suggest the AM4 route. §

I totally get it. I have a server that I build for Plex, file sharing, web hosting, and remote access. I planned to build a VPN with my brother, since we are blessed with gigabit internet for $70/month and we both ave servers. We were going to provide offsite backups for each other, but that...

You make a good point, I totally forgot about that. I would very much like to hold a V30 to see the differences myself. I know the screen on my s8 is very good. §

May I ask what the main purpose is? Do you plan to have a streaming service run off of it (like Plex) or is it just for storing extra files externally? If you have the time, I am a fan of building a storage server separately and getting more bang for your buck. If you have an old PC laying...

I know you said you just ordered the XPS13 from Costco, and that is a really good deal, but you can get it for a little bit less on their outlet site. I just did a quick glance, and it looks to be the same (you need to verify) but it came to $1,232 before tax with free shipping. You also get 3%...

As much as I hate to advertise for them, Dell's outlet has some great deals going right now. If you want a little bit better quality, check out the business outlet. The latitudes are on sale as well. I just picked up a nice one for the wife. It was a refurbished model and it looks brand new...

I think the only clear advantage the S8+ has on the v30, is accessories. Tlu have a much better selection of cases and such for the Samdung than you do for the LG. I have the s8 now and my son has the s8+. I plan to buy the unlocked v30 when released and will sell my s8. I just am not a...

So I just looked in my email, bhphoto has the G4 on sale for $99. Tough to beat that. I may have to pick up a couple for my chilled and not put a SIM card in there.

I currently am using an S8. I don't like it. I would buy the u11+ in a heartbeat if they would sell it here. I guess I am going to go with the v30 instead. The reason I saw for it, they didn't want to hurt the feelings of the people whom already purchased the u11..... What a copout of an...

I may have misread, or misinterpreted what you mean by "big screen" but what about the Xperia XA1 Ultra? New they sell for ~$300, and they run about $200 on swappa. Personally, Sony phones have been my favorite. The skin, build quality, and durability have been great. I have also used LG...

Have you another machine to test components? I haven't seen the CMOS battery become an issue to keep it from posting. It will still post and boot, it will give an error on post about it. I would say you are more likely experiencing another issue. I would start with the RAM. Next I would...

I have to say, any sense of privacy is false or, at best, naive. Be it camera on the highways, arm's, or anywhere else there is no real sense of privacy. Absolutely everything one does is and can be tracked. You want privacy? Move to the sticks and go off grid. If they want to, "they" will...

Oh man how tempting this is. Not because I need it, but because I WANT it. To 1920x or pay down bills? Be responsible or tell my kids, "Do as I say, not as I do." Hmmmm

That is something that I hadn't really thought about before, but I definitely find it interesting. Thanks for posting!! I will share this at work. §

Actually, the 1600 (none X) is $169 at Microcenter right now. I want to say I saw an ad for them that it was lower than that, like $149 or something, but I can't find it at the moment. You still get the $30 off the bundle if you are going to buy a board too. Might be worth it and sell your...
