    House network home run placement-related questions

    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.

    House network home run placement-related questions

    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...

    New desk shelf mod?

    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.

    New desk shelf mod?

    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.

Don't want the...

    New desk shelf mod?

    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.

    New desk shelf mod?

    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...

    Current 8TB drive recommendations

    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!

    Current 8TB drive recommendations

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