Thanks for the input you two i appreciate it greatly. I guess that coolermaster stacker i used to own would come in handy for times like these hah. I'll have to do some reading on freenas and the like on my days off this week.
I just figured i would stick with independent drives. I have honestly never looked into RAID, i've always just thrown my new drives in and moved on. I'll stick with that case unless it is smarter that i do a seperate server.
Well at the moment i'll be at 3 hard drives. I'd like to think that i wont fill this 3 tb drive but i have my doubts. Looks like i have some more researching to do than what i previously had thought. I'll look into the idea of doing a seperate nas and htpc.
Well i chose that case because i dont have a server for my media so i wanted the extra space for hdds. as far as the matx mainly because it was on the cheap end and came with free ram. Would it be worth the extra cash to jump the atx biostar since it also comes with free ram...

I tried looking in the bios but did not see anything about video. Even in device manager i didnt see any mention of onboard video. Well i was hoping to just connect it to my tv so i could watch my .mkv videos on there since streaming through windows media center to my xbox isnt that great

So i have tried googling this and have found no solutions or information at all regarding getting hdmi output to work with this motherboard.

I have an estimated date of 12/23 as well, to bad i had it shipped to my damn apartment and not back home i dont even know if i'll be here to get the thing. : /
yea i happened to read that before i posted this thread so i just wanted to double check. At most i'll add one more hdd but im not sure on that. Its a shame as when i first bought the psu i read nothing but great reviews on it and now im reading stuff about how its flawed.
Hey all its been awhile since I've had to build a new rig so i just wanted to make sure my power supply is still adequate or not. My power supply is the ocz gamexstream 600w. I dont plan to overclock or anything like that either. My new build consists of the following:
ASUS P5E-VM HDMI LGA...
like others said try locally owned stores but most of the ones around me charge 5 bucks for games like mario/duckhunt o.O. You might wanna try garage sales sometimes you get lucky and can score some good stuff there.
I couldn't believe how much they were going for on ebay just for that controller. It's sad when i can sell just my wavebird and get almost as much as what the local game store would give me for my cube, 3 controllers, memory card, and 6 games. Good thing I'm not as dumb as i was when i was...
yea need a less than 5 option in there. The only game I've bought so far is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I played it a lot when it first came out and really haven't touched it since though multiplayer was kinda laggy most of the time.
i had the same problem i just had to call the internet people at my school and they told me to register my xbox 360 on their site and i'd be good to go.
I will probably get all of the accessories if the bundle is at a decent price. I really want to play the drums. The only one i probably wont try is singing unless im all alone i'll leave the singing to someone else much better than myself.
i usually dont get any of the free stuff i sign up for but this is what i have got off the top of my head:
egm subscription
games for windows or w/e its called subscription
razors
st. pauli girl posters
amd t- shirt (of couse it was 5 sizes to big no love for the us really skinny folk when...

console- premium
date bought- October or November of 2006
replaced- yes, i'm waiting to receive the box from Microsoft to send it back to them
i feel your pain op i just loaded up gh2 to play some gnr it froze so i turn it off then back on and bam ring of death starts laughing at me. Fortunately mine is still under warranty but im still pissed about it.
i used to have a collection of games but i decided to sell them all so i wouldnt have to take them with me when i move out. I think i got over 1000 dollars for all my stuff.
hopefully i'll picking it up on day 1. I have a friend who has the ps2 version and i dont get to play it that often. The only thing standing in my way of rocking out everyday is my 360 and it deciding if it wants to die or live.
im waiting for my 360 to die aswell im getting dirty disc errors and it freezes during games and stuff. Seems like it has been getting worse lately. After all the horror stories i've read im dreading the fact that i'll probably be sending mine in soon.
mine is mysticdem0n and all i play right now is rainbow six vegas. The only games i have are vegas and gears hoping to increase the game collection soon though.
