Thanks, I'll make an effort to avoid the one ballast possibly in the way.

Well, placed my order with Monoprice. Anyone with a comment regarding location and signal noise?

For my runs (35m max) cat6 should support 10Gb. That being said, I'm not seeing a flood of 10Gb capable consumer devices after all these years.

I want to run network wire in a single story house built in '89; it has fire blocks unfortunately. Monoprice cat6 cable (Product # 40669) seems to be the best deal right now, so I'm likely to use that. I'm trying to decide where to bring all of them wires together - aka where to have my...

Good point about the wider desk. I spent 90 minutes rummaging through 2x12s at Lowes. Found an acceptable 9 ft piece, had them cut the cracked ends, hope it does not crack on my desk. Yes, it is fairly heavy. More to follow. Thanks for the article and the aluminum idea, I never thought of using...

Thanks, that's what I was thinking, the only problem is finding one that is not cracked. I'll keep searching for the "one". The 2x12 are 1.5x11.25 when measured.

Thanks for the replies! I am leaning towards using a plank like this one: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Common-1-in-x-12-in-x-6-ft-Actual-0-75-in-x-11-25-in-x-6-ft-Whitewood-Board/1000057625 The problem with it is that it's only 3/4" thick in real life and I'm worried about bending. Don't want the...

Ideally I could find something like this on the cheap and in the right size; it would make attaching the leg/supports to the desk a breeze.

I partially moved to a new place, picked up a desk on CG and now I'm trying to fit everything in. As you can see, the receiver and speakers pose a problem. Initially I was thinking of finding some shelves/cabinet combos where I would fit the receiver and printer (not pictured) and have the...

I got one of the 8TB WD Elements. It had a white box drive inside, which works fine with the caddy I'm using. Thanks Krazyxazn!

Thanks. I knew some of the WD externals didn't work without the right usb controller. I'm guessing the models you pointed out don't do that.

I want to buy a new 8TB drive, it will be installed in a removable caddy and used for large backups in a Windows machine; single drive, no raid. So far I see: Toshiba X300 HDWF180XZSTA for $178 Seagate BarraCuda ST8000DM004 for $150 WD Red WD80EFAX for $219 I'm trying to avoid a junk drive...

It's available again from M$...

It seems there still isn't an official media creation tool v1809, right?

I'm not surprised; in my experience, Intel boards are problematic when it comes to memory.
