    ITX slim case that supports LP gpu with larger heatsink

    i saw one of your posts, you said that a zotac 650 didnt fit? i think the zotac 750 is similar, single slot but pretty thick heatsink. will that work?

    ITX slim case that supports LP gpu with larger heatsink

    i will be using a stock heatsink for an i3 6100 or an i5 2500 depending on if i can find the right deal. the realan e-i7 really looks nice, is it of better quality for the price or just expensive because its imported?

    ITX slim case that supports LP gpu with larger heatsink

    I have the Antec ISK300-150 and the Zotac Low Profile GTX 750. The heatsink is a little large and won't fit with the lid on. Is there a similar case like the Realan e-i7 that is affordable (less than 100, but sweet spot around 50-70) and commonly available in the US?

    FreeNAS vs. Windows 8.1/10 vs. Windows Server 2012 Essentials / Standard Version

    you won't be able to use esxi and freenas with 3770k because it does not support VT-d (if you want to do it the proper way and have freenas see the physical drives). Take a look at proxmox which supports ZFS locally and will give you a great web interface for managing virtual machines

    Whats the problem with AMD

    5820k supports VT-d, so you can keep your OC. This is hardforum right? If games aren't going to max out 8 cores, then run multiple games. AMD might be a good choice for the price. Anyway it would be a very cool benchmark for consumer CPUs. the articles I posted are all very expensive...

    Whats the problem with AMD

Let's say a 2 headed setup (4cores per vm). It would...

    Whats the problem with AMD

    AMD APU is where AMD comes ahead. It doesn't make sense for dedicated GPU, but for tiny itx systems, AMD APU is great. So you save money not having to buy a GPU. The 7650k is about the same as an i3. I personally hope to see Iris Pro at budget prices. I'm sure it will come soon by the...

    Whats the problem with AMD

    if it isn't running 24/7 electricity isn't a big deal. I think both intel and amd are future proof. if zen really makes a difference, competition increases, our current processors could be "ancient" in two years. I think the pricing and features available fit the current market. You can't get a...

    Whats the problem with AMD

    AMD can certainly do better in power consumption. The AMD APU 7850k and 7800 have a pretty good edge over a Celeron + GPU. For the price 8320E seems like a great hypervisor/virtualization CPU, you can get one for 99 at Microcenter, and supports passthrough and ECC by force loading modules...

    Cheap NAS that can automatically power on and off?

    with the powertail all you need is arduino, ethernetshield and the powertail. his setup would be similar to this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Web-Controlled-8-Channel-Powerstrip/step4/Securing-the-receptacles-and-mounting-the-relay-bo/

    Cheap NAS that can automatically power on and off?

    you can use this: http://www.powerswitchtail.com/Pages/default.aspx preferable with an arduino (since you will be using a pi as your NAS, and this needs to run 24/7) im sure theres an arduino ethernet addon. you might be able to find a pdu...
