Reminds of connecting bridges of years past! Amazing!

What's the best "reasonable," which I'd define as 75% of optimum. Meaning the most bang for your buck.

Nice, managed to pick up Dirt for free! Thanks.

Phrik is right. Pay for Dropbox, Box or Google Drive. No need for hardware with a 10GB requirement. Freenas is a terrible suggestion if it's actually 10GB of data, and there's a non-technical requirement. Heck, Google Drive comes with 15GB free! Figure out which interface you like supporting...

I played Half Life 2 on the Oculus DK2, it was pretty amazing feeling, but did not feel like an integrated product. The wow factor was pretty substantial though. Not enough to get me to replay the whole game though.

Nice sized drive, though this kind of thing is another nail in the coffin of RAID-5. Makes me pause a bit when running RAID-Z2 even. Do you all think it makes sense to stay a size or two behind the cutting edge and up the number of HDDs a bit instead of rlying on these huge platters?

Nice deal, thanks.

I got mine for $449.99. I don't think this is overpriced, another hour of my time is worth far more than $30. I'd fire and forget if I were you.

Didn't know about those, will have to check them out, thanks! Those big drives make me pretty nervous though for re-silvering and other related operations. I usually like to stay at least 1 size behind the maximum drive size of the day. That might just be me being spooked though.

Raid-Z2 is a good option, but keep in mind that you'll need to learn about the host operating system either in Freenas, OpenBSD or something similar. There's a non-trivial learning curve there.

I love this monitor. TN prices with IPS performance. ++ to EricGRIT's advice on the settings. Mine looked washed out as well before I set things up.

Lots of interest in these monitors, not surprising to see that they've gone quickly. I was just playing Arkham Knight on mine last night!

I would agree, and posted myself in that very thread a couple of months ago when the deal was going around. Got the 27" myself for $475 and was very pleased. Waiting for a better price / deal -- such is the conundrum of building computers! Thanks for pointing out the possibilities with the 27"...

Grab the very well reviewed Dell 24" gaming monitor for $475, and get a $75 gift card as well. At a net price of $400, you're about 70 bucks under the lowest price that CCC has seen. I have the 27" inch version and love it. The bezel is quite thin and a site to behold. This is not your typical...

That's too bad about the saved lists and the downloads, but not too surprising given publishers' concerns around DRM. I can also recommend No Starch Press as an excellent, DRM-free alternative if you'd rather own your material, as opposed to rent. It's good to have options!

Looks as thought O'Reilly is having a 2 day say (ends tonight) for their excellent, subscription based learning tool. ================= Learn new technologies, build skills, and find the exact information you need to solve a problem on the fly. You’ll get access to Safari's huge corpus of...

Well then, that should do it. Maybe not at the ultra-est settings, but enough where I wouldn't worry about upgrading.

I had a 1440p monitor at work, and a 1080p monitor at home for a while and it was truly painful coming back to the lower resolution. We're talking 3,686,400 pixels versus 2,073,600. It's a huge difference. Just make sure you have the video card to handle it, if you're gaming!

I just purchased one of these via a deal I saw on Slickdeals / Reddit -- . I'm looking forward to the minimalist look of the monitor, plus the IPS-like performance of the TN panel, likely without all the quality control issues of the other performance 1440p monitors. We'll see how it all plays...

As these drives get larger, it certainly makes the RAID type and rebuild time considerations more interesting. I'm planning on building a new ~10TB array and I'm spending a lot of time reading up about RAIDZ/RAID/VDRVs and other ZFS-related topics.

When I played with the DK1 way back when with Half Life 2, everything was honestly really, really grainy. That said, after an hour or so and getting sucked into the story due to feeling of being "in" the world, I forgot about the visual shortcomings. It was wonderful, and I can only imagine that...

I think I'm going to wait a few weeks for the new Venice chips to come out and push the Winny's down a bit. I'm still in the market for a NForce4 MoBo. There seems to be a sweet deal on an MSI for 137 at one of the big 3 sites. I'll probably end up picking up some new RAM with the current...

I'm interested/dibs on the MoBo and RAM. Email coming your way.

That is an excellent deal, but tell you the truth I have this pie in the sky idea that I'm going to get a 3000+ around $130 retail but used. Thanks for the notice however, and I might take it if I don't get any offers.

Maybe some suggestions for buying in this forum for a new guy?

how about some love for the new guy?

Holy hell this forum moves faster than I'm used to. bump...

From what I consistently read, particularly this thread, have lead me to believe that because of the integrated memory controller on the A64, timings and latency play a much smaller role in performance than before. Ergo, it seems that paying 50% more for a smaller performance increase (at...

939 Based Motherboard I am looking for a mid-range 939 based PCI-e motherboard to go with a 6600GT PCI-e. 1GB Value RAM From what I've been reading I don't see the need for high priced RAM. I've seen value stuff going for around $100 shipped on NewEgg, so I'd like to go below that. 3000+...
