Bought a low-power solution "In-a-box" NAS. ASUSTor AS5304T and tossed 8GB of Crucial Ballistix DDR4 in it @ 2400MHz, CL16

I will take the advice here, sorry I have been away for work training out of state. Thanks for everyone's input. Yeah, def wanna build on the cheap. Just hosting up video (Movies/TV series + Music and a few hundred docs)

I will take the advice here, sorry I have been away for work training out of state. Thanks for everyone's input. Yes, there are 2 devices. 1 Spectrum Modem and 1 Spectrum WiFi (Router) if thats what you wanna call it, lol It has a 4P switch on it and broadcasts my WiFi I haven't upgraded yet...

Actually, now that I think about it - Wouldn't it make more sense to just run Windows on it and hit it headless? About the RAID, I guess I also need a cheap Marvell RAID card as well. Something that's hardware-based for RAID 1

I have a server rack on my wall, 4ft, 19" standard sizing. 3-4U? Thoughts? AMD for sure (cost) - motherboard needs to have Intel NIC, M-ITX even if cheaper Planning on using FreeNAS OS for archive 2x 10TB Seagate Heliums + How would I run Plex or Emby on the same system using this OS? 1G LAN...

Does anyone have any idea how I get these two to work together? I subscribe to Spectrum and they dropped off two consoles for my internet. One is the modem, the other is a WiFi router, and has an integrated 4P switch. I want to be able to use my Netgear 16P Gig-E switch with this ISP rental...

Found a case I liked, it's actually not a full-tower but a Mid E-ATX Cube. It checked all my boxes and was only $180. anidees AI Crystal Cube V3 [White] Sincerely, thanks for all the assistance gang!

I pulled trigger tonight and got lucky with Newegg having a Gigabyte X570 AUROS Master, brand-new - in-stock, normal MSRP shipped from Newegg direct and snagged it. I bought the rest of the build this evening as well, since I already knew all the other stuff I wanted.

Build ordered. It all should start arriving tomorrow. I was able to find everything online. Used a combination of Amazon & Newegg and lots of patience. CPU: Ryzen 9 3900x Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 AORUS Master RAM: 32GB (2 x 16GB) G.SKILL Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 SSD: 1TB Sabrent Rocket NVMe...

Yup, some more tomorrow 6/16 - despite Newegg doing launch on 6/12 sold out of all the good ones. The only one still available is the AsRock Taichi. Ratings are mixed for the X570 board. Tomorrow has a few B550 boards

I stick with a case for the entirety of that particular build. I used to swap shit out over and over, incremental upgrades, etc Then I realized I was literally pissing money down a hole. That's why so much thought goes into the preparation of a build nowadays. I've been around long enough to...

I'm committing a cardinal sin by quoting myself, but I don't see anyone looking at the original post to spot an edit -- so putting on bottom for maximum visability--

Is this motherboard "any good?" - Pairing with 3900x & G.Skill Trident Z NEO with Sabrent Rocket 1TB It's "In-stock" and fulfilled by "Newegg" not some over-priced re-seller. I mean for $190 it's not a B-board to tide me over, I'd probably stick with it... but it looks to be part of the "economy...

I built my first computer in one of these, but Antec name-brand. I've owned about 4 of these cases throughout my journeys in life. SOLID case.

Fritzz I was watching going in blind. Wondering where is the res? Plot twist: The motherboard tray "is" the res also, when watching I saw #02 of 200 - I knew this thing wasn't going to be cheap. $1700. Dang. It is BEAUTIFUL though.

Special thanks to Fritzz - thesmokingman - Denpepe for multiple suggestions!! -Honorable mention to warhol76 for mentioning the air restrictions of 1000D! Check post #2 on this thread for my run-down on which cases I liked, ones that fell short or already owned, and IM STILL OPEN TO MORE...

IDK, this Lian Li is very, very sexy. Open design as well. Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL I also looked very closely at the older Corsair 1000D. Lian-Li is the front runner at the moment in gorgeous white and dual tempered glass with just a subtle splash of RGB on front EDIT: After 3 YouTube videos...

Uhm, WOW! This thing is insane, completely open chassis Raijintek Eris EVO In stock @ Newegg and $399 price tag. Hmm, seriously tempting as it's more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than TT's W100 offering.

Not too bad on price either, only $500 for "All you get" in W200 I wouldn't be interested in the dual machine part, but it is interesting to know that you could stick all the liquid loop crap on the other side perhaps. EDIT: Link is to the W200, not WP200 (Didn't see any results for WP200...

thesmokingman was a figure of speech. I only own 10 3.5" SATA. 4x in Server, 4x in Gaming, 2x in NAS. I was thinking about adding 8x of them all to a single machine and do away with the server and part it out. I don't really use it and the other 2x HDDs (12TB Seagate Heliums) put in a small...

Ha! I saw that, read all the details on their website, and was LOVING the grey version, then hit the link on "where to buy" and BOOM! $900 Jesus. Quite a jump from the $450-500 price range of ALL OTHER TOWERS. *Flashbacks to Thermaltake Level 10, back in the day (pricing)* Thank you for your...

Recommendations thus far, and where I stand with them after checking them out online & watching some videos-- -Red - not for me or already owned -Yellow - lukewarm -Green - really, really like Fractal Define 7XL - looks pretty well built and stealthy, just too bland for my taste Corsair 1000D...

I'm a fan of full-tower cases. I like the idea of expandability, superior airflow, and being able to literally toss in ANY add-on I want into them. Space isn't a concern. I may do a full-loop liquid cool, add 10 hard drives, who knows??? But space is there. Looking at some of the offerings...

Yeah, saw the Sabrent Rocket, and had already decided to roll the dice on it. Thanks for that recco!! Trying like hell to find a motherboard in stock somewhere I want with the features and price I want. (Personal issue, as I know now what to look for) CraigHB, I was also seriously considering...

I decided after much extensive reading on the subject, that based on CPU's available at this time and my desire to not "only" game, but also have the capability to increase performance for multi-threaded related tasks and possibly streaming down the road... I'm going to AMD for the first time...

Thank you reading now

What''s the best power supply on the market currently? 1) Best IMO is truly advertised power rails 2) Warranty 3) Build quality Does Seasonic still hold the crown?

I will look into these options you suggested. I've been out of the building scene entirely since building this in 2017. Thank you for the input

Build #9 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc This will be my main tower for at least 3-4 years. I will use it for everything and expect it to be very capable Main Goal- I expect the best gaming performance possible while being somewhat power-efficient...

Trump bux! :)

Damn, too rich for my blood. NICE chair though! I weigh too much for that one, too. (Sucks being a fatass)

^^ This. I have my account 2FA protected. I think when dealing with selling things it's a good idea. On that note, I too, have been gone a while since I lost my interest in staying cutting edge. It was too expensive and didn't have the willpower necessary to keep buying and keeping a budget...

I own this chair (not black version) but the "EPIC" [Black/White/Red version] - I've owned it for almost 2years now, and I'm 6'5" 375lbs. The only thing I replaced is the aluminum 5-spoke base with a powder-coated steel one. I added those rollerblade wheels and I sat in it one day, and the...

These were the questions. -I would like to use gaming PC as main gaming rig with no loss of frames or stuttering/tearing -I would like to use the second PC to run all the necessary streaming broadcast software, microphone and both webcams to take the load off the gaming PC -I would also like to...

I've scoured the internet, and to no avail.. I'm trying to use my current-gen gaming system and my last-gen gaming system to create a mullti-desktop streaming settup with or without my capture card. I've listed below my entire specs on both rigs as well as the "extras" I have purchased to mix...

You've got PM

Willing to sell just the PoE Injector? If so, how much shipped to 43106. (Ohio) This model handles gig-E switching right? Not just 10/100? I'm in the security field and could always use a backup in case of a pinch.

Like the title says, my Nighthawk X6 croaked on me. Looking for a replacement. I want to test the waters and see what ya'll have before buying new. Requirements: 1) Has to work (lol) 2) No known intermittent drop outs (Want a stable platform as this will be my daily driver) Heat and Ebay...
