    Need help choosing a 49" Ultrawide (3 choices)

    FWIW, I picked up the CRG9 about a week ago after contemplating the others you were and REALLY like it. Coming from triple 16x9 and never owned an ultrawide before. I really like it and can't find myself going multiple monitors again. Regarding the curvature - when I opened it up, I thought...

    Samsung C49RG90 32:9 5120x1440 monitor

    So probably a stupid question, but would the igpu in an I7-6600U drive this monitor? The max resolution for that igpu is 4096x2304 but wasn't sure if it would work with the 5120x1440 aspect. Looking to use this for productivity with a work laptop and with a dedicated gaming rig. Hoping my...

    Anyone know why Ceton tuners are not available anywhere?

    I'd say they've been done for a while - they were being sued by Gibson over a year ago; not sure what came out of that.

    looking for a good router (no-wifi) to replace Verizon box

    Thanks for the info guys - I'm comfortable with CLI (from my CCNA days, albeit a bit rusty) so the ER looks pretty good. My topology will be ERPRO8->HP2530 POE 48port switch-> 2 Ubiquity AP-AC PROs for wireless.

    looking for a good router (no-wifi) to replace Verizon box

    diizzy - I'm also curious on what you mean by iffy about EdgeOS? I'm in the market for a ER-PRO8 but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

    HP 24 port POE which model?

    I have the v1 of that switch and love it. I've been doing a lot of research on this recently. There was some discussion on this - you can checkout this thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1882300 If you're looking for POE(+), consider that there will be fans in this switch which...

    48 Port Gigabit Switch Recommendations?

    Dell X1052 spec sheet shows 56.7dB (max) acoustic noise which I assume is the boot up scream. I really wish I could hear these things in person - the HP2920 @62dB (which I also assume is boot up) is the loudest in its price range. I may end up going with the HP2530 which comes in at...

    48 Port Gigabit Switch Recommendations?

    Thanks ReelMcCoy - I'm teetering back and forth if this will be too noisy; looking at the specs, the power supply comes in at 62db which seems loud on paper (48port POE model). As mentioned, being in my rack inside an isolated closet may make it a non-issue but tough to tell if this will be...

    48 Port Gigabit Switch Recommendations?

    ReelMcCoy - In regards to noise - how loud would you consider it? I think startup has them at full blast momentarily, but what about general operation? My rack is in a dedicated closet in my home and wanted to check how bad the noise was. Also - check your PM.

    48 Port Gigabit Switch Recommendations?

    I'm looking at the HP2920 48port POE+ switch (J9729A) and it states: Max power rating - 487W (total capable) Idle - 46W (no ports connected) POE power - 370W (deliverable) Compare that to the same 2920, 48 port non-POE+ switch (J9728A): Max power rating - 70W Idle - 27W The HP 2530...

    48 Port Gigabit Switch Recommendations?

    I'm highly considering the HP2920 as well (POE variant, J9729A) - would be curious if you end up going that route. Similar boat as you - looking for 48port Gb switch for home that's reliable and fast. HP warranties are pretty awesome. I had a 1810G for a while which was their lower end but...

    Third Party DVR to use with

    If you don't want to pay subscription fees outside of the normal channel package and internet, your only real alternative is WMC w/a cablecard tuner like Ceton or SD. As mentioned you can record up to 6 streams at once. I do this at home, for my parents and my sisters family - if done right...

    Surface Pro 3 (5/20/14)

    Makes sense and I agree. I really hoped SP3 would be immediately available at the unveiling. It seems crazy that, for instance, someone wanting an I7 could literally have a new model available just 3 months after having it in hand - again, assuming they have a broadwell refresh 6months...

    Surface Pro 3 (5/20/14)

    I may be misreading your intent on this post, but in terms of graphics performance - doesn't this outperform other mobile OS tablets already? Battery-wise seems pretty darn good when you take into consideration on the variables - which I think is what makes this challenging to compare to...
