    I inherited a new rig from the death of an in-law. I'm trying to get it up to par and capable enough to use as an extra gaming pc. Should I consider upgrading this gpu, or will it still handle most titles at high-max? Any feedback from anybody else running an eVGA GTX 1070 ti sc? resolution...

    Any benefit to RAID 1?

    Hey guys, I'm in the market for a storage solution, some sort of NAS. I'm torn between just buying a synology or a pc/server setup with some extra drives and doing it that way. I've had some low-end nas devices in the past, that I always ran in RAID 1, but now that I think or it, it doesn't...

    Looking for best small form factor graphics card

    Hey guys, The title pretty much explains it. I need the most powerful "small form factor" graphics card I can find. When I say "small form factor", I mean length wise; not height/low rise. I have a small case that this needs to fit inside. The other requirement is that it doesn't need any...

    Mouse issues with KDE Plasma in Manjaro

    Hi everyone, Wondering if anyone else has run into this- I just installed Manjaro for the first time, KDE plasma variant. My mouse just doesn't work well. It works well enough for use, but it's just not smooth. It often jumps around the screen and just feels laggy. I'm using a 2GB nvidia...

    Suggestions for a powerful, smaller size GPU

    I'm looking for suggestions for a GPU. Doesn't need to be in the RTX line, but that would be a huge plus. I don't want a 'small form factor' size card with the low-rise adapter, but I'm looking for a card that is shorter in length, eg. something that isn't a foot long and will fit in a smaller...

    Thoughts on Synology vs real server?

    I need a NAS. I've been considering 3 options, synology, real rack-mount server, or home-built. I'll put a budget on this of ~$500. Synology: I've always had cheap NAS/DAS devices but this time if I buy a pre-built NAS it's synology or nothing. I was looking at the 718+ because of the ability...
