They really priced it too high vs. the competition. What does this thing do that Roku/FireTV/Etc or game consoles can't do? In fact, I believe the new Roku & FireTV have some 4k capabilities, and the new AppleTV doesn't. That's a blown opportunity there.

If neither is your boot disk/system drive, then you could also use the 'Storage Spaces' feature in your control panel instead.

The basics are still the same. There are pretty major shifts between xpacs in terms of new features, but I wouldn't exactly call an xpac a sequel.

This is akin to [H] dropping anything to do with desktop pc's. It just doesn't make sense.

I still don't recognize the name.... As far as "via trust" goes, probably not a trust fund in the sense you are thinking. He established a trust and that entity actually bought the house instead of him personally. That's not a terribly uncommon practice. If you've any form of personal...

I have to agree. Seeing a plain jane green pcb with all the added features would be fantastic.

Still much cheaper than cable. Sling/Prime/Netflix/Hulu(no commercials) runs me under $50 per month. I'm only keeping Sling for football season, so it drops to under $30 most of the year. To drop those and go to cable would mean $85/month all year and I'd have to deal with commercials. No thanks!

You all know you can turn that shit off, right?

I need to get a new remote for my Fire TV anyways. The 20 dollar difference will make itself up over time vs. the cost of battery replacements for the voice remote. That thing chews through some AAA's.

Perhaps for the Sabertooth it was, but I had the predecessor to that one and it was great. It breaking was totally my fault, not the quality of the build. I'm also typing this on a Blackwidow keyboard that is very well built. No issues with the build quality on it whatsoever.

For business use, nope. Its too new to know how things will act with it. I have upgraded one of my home PC's (months ago) and did a fresh install of it on a new build I did Friday night. I don't see any issues with home use or even light business use - if you don't rely on anything but...

I haven't had cable in years, but just reading the thread made me wonder if I could 'add tv' and get a discounted price on it and my internet vs just the internet I have now. Well, I tried to look at the package offers, but it wants me to turn off the pop-up blocker. OK, no problem. Turn that...

Using a standard 360 style wired controller, but would like to find something newer. The Dpad is on its last legs. I used to use a Razer 360 controller, which was brilliant. There was, however, an accident with it that may or may not have involved copious amounts of whiskeys. They apparently...

So, this is a non-issue for hardwired systems with no wifi?

Prime/Netflix - makes no difference to me. Should be fun to watch.
