I'm just about to build my new system. I have a MSI Strix 4090 video card, Intel 13900K proc. Most all of the PCIe 3.0 PSUs were out of stock when I was getting components at the end of December so I picked up the Asus ROG Thor PSU even though it isn't PCIe 3.0. I just checked MSI's website...

I just purchased a MSI Suprim RTX 4090 card and I am looking to build out a new system. In my current system I'm using and love my Lian Li Lancool-II-Mesh-RGB. From this Reddit post it shows that the this case can do the 4090 card but with the 2 fans at the bottom of the case there isn't room...

Hello. I'm looking to upgrade my current 6900XT to a new GTX 4090. In looking at the cards available I'm trying to understand if I can look at any of the AIO cooling based cards like the MSI SUPRIM Liquid X. Here's a link to my original build post from earlier this year. There is a current...

Hello. I have pulled the trigger on several components to upgrade my main system. I'm not at the level that most on this forum are so I wanted to post what I've bought and see if I made any big misstep. Thanks for looking: AMD 5950x Asus AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) G.Skill Ripjaws V...

Hello. I just upgraded from my GTX 980 to a RTX 2080S. I have 2 Samsung 48" TVs hooked up to my GTX 980 - 1 through HDMI and the other is a HDMI to DVI cable that actually works (I get 3840x2160 60Hz at 4:4:4 on both). When I got this setup there weren't any DP to HDMI cables that could do 4k...

Looking to upgrade from my GTX 980 to do better 4k gaming (currently using a Samsung 4K 48" JS9000) Amazon has a couple cards that are looking to be in stock shortly: Gigabyte GV-N208SGAMING Zotac ZT-T20820D-10P It's been a while since I've gotten a new video card and I'm looking forward to...

First off - thanks Kyle for the great review on the 2700X! I'm looking to upgrade my main system and would like to go with AMD's new 2700X. I won't be overclocking - just running at stock speed with the stock cooler. I do a mix of gaming, photo editing, general productivity, VMs and video...

I've got a setup with 2 Samsung 50" JU6700 displays hooked up to a GTX960 card. This had been working great for over a year, but then the display connected via the DVI-D to HDMI cable started flickering (screen going black and coming back on every 2-5 seconds). Troubleshooting narrowed it down...

I understand that a single GTX 980 can only output to 4 displays. How can I get my 5th display on my main system? Can I use a additional video card - would it have to be a match to the 980 or could I use something else (I've got a HD 7850 laying around). Here's my setup: Main display -...

Hello. I have a 24-drive SnapRaid configuration. It is made up of an Areca ARC-1680ix-24 (firmware 1.51 with 512MB cache) plugged into an Asus P9X79 WS system with an Intel Core-i7 4820k, 32GB DDR3 and 24 Seagate 4TB NAS drives (ST4000VN000). The Areca card is in slot 2 which is PCIe 2.0...

Hello, I'm looking to purchase an Areca ARC-1680ix raid card on eBay, but some that I'm looking at (8 port) come as half height cards. I am looking for help/suggestions on where to buy the full height bracket. Thanks!

Hello. I have purchased 2 Supermicro SC846TQ 24-bay servers from eBay and ultimately want all 48 bays between the two to be attached to 1 file server. Current configuration: Supermicro SC846TQ server with 24 Seagate 4TB NAS drives connected to the 3 internal Supermicro SAT2-MV8 Rev 2...

Hello. I'm looking for ideas/suggestions on controlling up to 6 systems with 1 USB keyboard and 1 USB mouse. I don't need video switching as I have multiple monitors on my desk with multiple inputs. Here's the layout: I have 3 main systems I use - each has their own monitor. From time to...

Hello. I am looking to expand my raid array and am looking at getting a Norco 4224 4U chasis due to cost, etc. I will be filling all 24 hotswap bays with drives for the raid array. Does anyone know if there is room/easy place to mount a 2.5" SSD drive inside the server? The pictures on...

Hello. I picked up an Areca-1680IX 24-4 port raid card, and 6 of the new Seagate 4TB NAS drives (ST4000VN000). I am planning to setup a Raid6 array with the 6 drives for now, and when I know it is stable I will add more drives. My question is - once I have the array setup and running, how...

Hello! My wife is interested in a triple monitor setup for her office. She does not game, and she will be very happy with triple 1920x1080 monitors. This is strictly for her writing - i.e. she wants more desktop room. I want to keep her in the 22-24" range and we don't want to pay a lot...

Hello! I am wanting to connect up my AMD 7970 to my 3 Dell u3011 monitors. The computer is 20ft away from the displays and lives in a closet (temperature controlled). My main u3011 display is using a dual-link DVI cable and running at WQXGA (2560x1600). I want to connect the other two...

I had two drives in my main system - Hitachi 750G and a Hitachi 1TB and I wanted to consolidate down to 1 drive - a Seagate 1.5TB. The system is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and the two HItachi drives are NTFS and I created a new NTFS partition on the 1.5TB drive that was attached via...

Hello. I am wanting to photograph my multi-monitor setup, however I'd really like to find some great panoramic photos that I can use to display across all 5 monitors. Here's what I've got: Dell 2007 (portrait), 3x Dell u3011s (landscape), and a Dell 2007 (portrait). I'm looking for images...

Hello. I've got a unique situation with my computer setup. My computers are in a closet and I have the USB, audio, and DVI cables run from the closet to where my desk is - approx 25 feet. Currently I've got high quality 25 foot DVI-D cables from my 3 computers to my 3 monitors on my desk...

Didn't see this posted. Engadget's info on Samsung Series 9 27" 2560x1440 PLS monitor. Expected release is in March/April.

I've been looking through the forum and I haven't exactly found an answer to this question: For those that have both a Dell 3007 and a Dell u3011, is the anti-glare much different between the two? In other words, is the often reported anti-glare issue on the u3011 that much more than the...

Big surprise, but my Gateway XHD3000 is starting to fail (heck - rapidly failing). I am primarily interested in a 30" monitor as a replacement, but would consider a 27" if it has the 2560x1440 resolution. I need the monitor to be able to display DVI and HDMI. I have grown very fond of the...

Wow - I never thought buying a monitor would be so difficult. Originally I wanted either the Gateway 30" or the Dell 3008, but after reading a ton of posts here I just can't bring myself to do it. I went with the Dell 3007 HC as I only need this monitor to connect a PC as I have a Sharp 32"...
