    NAS setups

    MB: ASRock Dual Xeon E5-2650 64G memory External Array: SE3016-SAS connected via SAS cable OS: ESXi Host OS: Linux/Windows Linux is running software RAID6, and has the data shared to my Windows OS. To stream my movies, I'm using Emby in Windows. But, I'm about to move everything into a Norco 24...

    Far Cry New Dawn

    I just got the HD pack, and it seamed to help a bit on the visual's. With everything turned on ultra I'm getting an average of 65-70FPS. That's on a GTX1080. So far I like it, but I haven't been able to play much. But, so far no forced story. You basically just go around trying to recruit...

    Interesting cheap JBODs available

    Replacing the fan is pretty simple. And, it makes a HUGE difference in the noise level.

    What is the go-to coolant now?

    I've just been using pure distilled water, and a silver plug in my Monsoon res. So far no buildup or clouding. I have drained it once just to clean it after about 6 months, and to make a couple of small changes. But, so far, so good.

    Post Your pfSense Setup/pfSense Sugestions

    No, that was the first thing I looked at. It just totally locks everything up. I did just upgrade ESXi to the latest version, and it seams like it reboots now without an issue. But, I should be getting my standalone tomorrow. So, I won't have to worry about that any more.

    Post Your pfSense Setup/pfSense Sugestions

    Right now I've got mine in a ESXi VM. But, the issue I'm having is every time I reboot pfSense, the whole box locks up, and I have to power cycle it. Don't know what's causing it, but it's a pain. Might get that mini-PC that someone listed. Had it running on another one, but kept dropping the...

    Need a display mount for 2 large ultra wides

    I just picked up one like the top link, but with a desk stand. I also have the Dell 35", I have to put something under it because it keeps tilting forward it's so heavy. But, it's nice having my smaller one above it, and it holds a 27" with no issues.

    Biggest Battle Ever in Eve Online Claims Multiple Titans

    Yeah, I was online for aprox 12 hours for this. Had 2 characters going. 1 in a capital, and another one in a sub-cap. Here's a quick vid that Eve posted on their Twitter. I think I can even see my carrier right in the middle of the uprights. :) https://t.co/sPGJ93NlOT And, next week I think...

    EVE Online

    They really nurfed the Drake a few years ago. It was all anyone was using, and now it's down to a Meme. Or, at most a booster in a fleet.

    Jurassic World Evolution

    I've been playing it off and on. I like it. Yeah, it's not the most in depth game. But, it's a good time waster. I do wish we could turn off the release video after the first time. But, it's easy enough to get out of it.

    Can you change mobo/cpu/mem and still use your old windows 10 install?

    I just upgraded my MB/Mem/CPU/SDD. Did a clean install of Win10. It wouldn't accept me choosing the online activation. I could sign into my account, and select the license I wanted to activate, but it kept bugging out. First person I talked said I had to "Talk to the company I bought the PC...

    best free AntiVirus? currently have avast but it bothers me to buy it every 5 minutes

    OK, good, it's not just me that was getting annoyed with all the pop-up's from them. Phattio, I owe ya a beer for that. :)

    I just got done doing mine. But, I'll have to wait a couple of days until I can build my new system. At least the sealant will be nice and dry by then. :)

    Alienware AW3418DW 34" Ultrawide

    I just got this one last week. So far I like it. Coming from a 60hz ultra-wide. Does seam smoother in FC5, and Origins. Still kinda playing around with the settings to get a good picture without the bloom. I see it a little on startup, but don't really notice it once it has a picture on it.

    Far Cry 5

    They pushed an update out for the PC, consoles will get it Monday. One issue I had after the patch, I couldn't play it. The lag was SO bad. Like 5 fps. Every time I run it, Windows asks me if I want to allow it to make changes. I always have hit yes. Well, after the patch, I hit no, and...

    Far Cry 5

    I didn't have any issues with the pre-load on Uplay. Maybe their servers were just having some issues with everyone trying.

    EVE Online

    Since my group is making a big move soon, that timer change is great. But, I think they cut it too much. What I'm thinking is they change it to what they have planned, but if you engage in combat, then it goes back to the old cooldown. That'll stop the blobs, but it'll help just moving to...

    Largest Battle Ever In EVE Online Happening

    I'll try to answer some of the questions here since I was part of this huge thing. I am part of Pandemic Horde(PamFam), and have been playing off and on for over 10 years. The reason why it was timed is because the station being attach is invulnerable until a certin time. You have to attack it...

    GTX 1080 went up in smoke

    I had the same card do the same thing to me just as I got it. Didn't even power up before I saw the smoke of death. They were good to work with on getting it swapped out.

    dont touch nicehash

    Luckily I didn't lose that much. I always pulled mine out as I could. There's been too many in the past where peoples wallets just go away.

    Just don't eat beans first. ;) And, nice project. I know I'd like mine cooled during hot Texas summers.

    Chairmat on thick padded carpet

    What I ended up doing is getting a box of Pergo from Home Depot, and some glue. I made a little floor for my chair. Works out pretty well.

    Whats everyone using for mining?

    Right now I'm using a 1080 and an old 970. Once I get back from Vegas in a couple of weeks, I think I'm going to pick up a couple used 1070's. Also going to start buying on Nicehash as well. I figure with the next payout I'll be able to start buying Eth contracts.

    Help me with Ubiquiti

    And, the software isn't too hard to setup. I just have 1 AP in my place, and can control it from anywhere. And, like the others said, they come with a PoE injector, so you don't need a PoE switch. Just run a cable to the injector, and another one to the AP. Nice and easy. I've had mine for a...

    Samba File Sharing

    This is how I share mine for root access. I'm the only one on my network, so I'm not too worried about security. [Movies] path = /mnt/storage/movies read only = no guest ok = yes

    OSI Model?

    Well, I work in at an ISP. So, I deal with layer 1, 2 and 3 all day long. Normally anything over that I don't care about that.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda

    It's not just the animations that were the issue. Missions that you couldn't finish, even after 2 patches, not even sure if they're fully fixed now. Chat scenes are really off in some parts. Talking to someone, but staring at a tree or wall, not the person. The facial animation has gotten...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda

    Even using fast travel took a while. Fast travel to the Tempest->wait on load screen->run to the Tempest, and board -> wait forever on launch cut -> finally be able to do something. Makes you want to get a book during all that.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda

    I'm not sure if someone has posted it in here, I kinda skimmed most of it. ;) But, here's a nice shortcut to get back onto the ship while you're out in the world. Press, and hold "T" while you're in the Nomad. You will automatically leave the planet. No need to go all the way back to the ship...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda

    They must have updated something then. From the chart I saw, you'd get the exact same frame rate either way. But, this was for 1080's, so that might make a difference.
