    I ended up getting the SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB - M.2 NVMe and a Western Digital 18TB Ultrastar DC HC550 (0F38459) to upgrade my storage. Thanks for the input!

    4TB Samsung 870 SSD or cheapest 4TB m.2 drive?

    Actually, ( M.2 Solid State Drive (SSD) / PCIe NVMe, PCIe 3.0 x 4, 32Gb/s ) ..... is what my board supports. I mainly edit pictures in Adobe Photoshop and run VMWare Workstation VMs at times. In this case I want to make sure the OS drive is not a performance bottleneck. Also not sure if my...

    4TB Samsung 870 SSD or cheapest 4TB m.2 drive?

    My 1TB SSD is filling up and do not know much about the m.2 real world performance to justify the bigger cost. Thanks in advance.

    Ultra Wide Curved Display Recommendation.

    I have had a Dell U3415W for 2 years now and I love it. I do want a bigger monitor though, maybe the wider Dell U4919DW. I never desired a wide screen monitor until I was given this monitor from work surplus and I was am hooked. It's like two monitors in one and multiple monitors annoy me.

    Microsoft returning to Flight Simulator in 2020

    Years ago on FS2004 I flew from Cape Town to London Heathrow and kinda cheated because I took off at night, went to bed and landed when I woke up in the morning. Luckily the 747-400 did not run into anything.

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    How is your OLED experience so far? With the limited research I've done so far I would be concerned about "burn-in" if I went the OLED route.

    How much RAM you got?

    16GB but I want 32GB. Not sure if I need 32GB other than to feel better about my computer. I have 2x8GB sticks yet if I had 1x16GB stick I would get one more in a heartbeat.

    What is a good upgrade to Klipsch Promedia 2.1 + Sound Blaster E1(static on headphones) ?

    Round Rock for the moment but I love Austin. What made you choose the Schiit Asgard over other Schiit products? I see that the Asgard + TrueMultiBit DAC is $400. Way over my budget for sound but if it will last me the rest of my life maybe worth it. I generally like to buy hardware and then I'm...

    What is a good upgrade to Klipsch Promedia 2.1 + Sound Blaster E1(static on headphones) ?

    At this point I realize I'm happy with the speakers. I want to upgrade the E1 but doing research on sound devices is tough. It seems like every audio product $300 or less has problems. I want to get the Sound BlasterX G6 but I don't like that it only has one headphone jack. I was also looking at...

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    This is good to know about the Durgod. I've ordered the Durgod K320 Taurus Nebula RGB with Silent Red switches. Looking forward to it arriving in a couple weeks. I'm already thinking of getting the white version for work but as far as I know it does not have a backlight but I don't think that...

    What is a good alternative to the Ducky One 2 RGB TKL with Silent Reds?

    Glad you like the K320, expecting mine to arrive in a couple weeks. I also have my eye on the white version for a work keyboard. From what I understand it does not have LED backlight but since they keys are white it probably doesn't matter...

    What is a good alternative to the Ducky One 2 RGB TKL with Silent Reds?

    Update I ended up purchasing the "DURGOD K320 Nebula RGB Cherry MX Silent Red Switch PBT Keycaps Mechanical Gaming Keyboard". Looking forward to a better typing experience like I had on my Logitech K810. My current K830 will go into the dumpster once the Durgod arrives. The K830 is the worst...

    What is a good alternative to the Ducky One 2 RGB TKL with Silent Reds?

    After doing research to replace my crappy Logitech K830 I thought I wanted a laptop style keyboard. Before the K830 which I found in a junk pile at work I had Logitech K810. I was in love with the K810 but after going through three of them in the past few years(broken keys, one stopped...

    What is a good upgrade to Klipsch Promedia 2.1 + Sound Blaster E1(static on headphones) ?

    I plug the Sennheiser 598 CS directly to the Sound Blaster E1. I haven't tried plugging the headphones into the Klipsch headphone jack since that would add more distance between the headphones and Sound Blaster E1.

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    Is the Ducky One Two TKL easy to type on? In my head I feel like low profile laptop style keyboards are easier to type on but I could be wrong. I'm not a gamer but these look like nice keyboards.

    What is a good upgrade to Klipsch Promedia 2.1 + Sound Blaster E1(static on headphones) ?

    The first set broke due to the subwoofer connection coming loose after being bumped a few times and I tossed the subwoofer instead of repairing it. Second set I found at Goodwill for $25 yet the subwoofer speaker had problems at higher volumes(buzzing) so I tossed the subwoofer and kept the...

    What is a good upgrade to Klipsch Promedia 2.1 + Sound Blaster E1(static on headphones) ?

    I've been using Klipsch Pro Media 2.1 speakers probably since 2004 and love them. I'm on my 3rd set since then and so far I think they're perfect. Looking through some threads I realize there might be something better out there I can upgrade to. Right now they are connected to a Sound Blaster...

    Looking for a laptop style, well lit keyboard to replace Logitech K810.

    I've gone through three Logitech K810 keyboards in the past few years, loved the keyboard yet keys broke and found out that Logitech does not produce the keyboard anymore and cannot replace it under warranty. What I loved about it was how small and well lit the keyboard was and the...

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    I'm currently using a Logitech K830 and I hate it because the keyboard light dims too quickly and the keys are difficult for me to press. I had a K810 which was perfect but going through 3 of them that all broke kinda sucks. Looking for an alternative. The mouse is a Logitech M705 which I love...

    Slightly Annoying Static on Sound Blaster E1, is this expected?

    I unplugged the Klipsch and plugged or unplugged had no change in behavior. The E1 has a battery and when I unplugged the USB connection the E1 powered off so the battery is out. Maybe this is on it's way out and time for something different. I liked the E1 when first bought it and felt that...

    Slightly Annoying Static on Sound Blaster E1, is this expected?

    I've been using my Sennheiser 598cs headphones a lot more now connected to a Soundblaster E1 and I notice low level static and other "electronic" sounds coming through it. I also have Klipsch Promedia 2.1's plugged into the same E1 yet the static is less noticeable. Is this static something that...

    [H]OT Deal? DELL PowerEdge R610/R710 Servers sub $200? ($149-199)

    I have a T710 at home and ran into a roadblock when I wanted to do some virtualization stuff. I don't remember the error but the processors did not have the technology I needed to run GNS3 and VMWare Workstation properly. I slapped together a server at work and I remote into that to run what I...

    Looking for alternative recommendations to Sound Blaster E5 USB DAC...

    There is definitely some white noise when I plug into the E1. Thought this was weird since the Klipsch Promedia 2.1's I have plugged into the same E1 don't produce any extra noise. In that case I'll see about the options westrock2000 and hhuricane1 posted.

    Looking for alternative recommendations to Sound Blaster E5 USB DAC...

    After using a Sound Blaster E1 USB DAC for a couple of years I've always wanted to eventually get the "high end" Sound Blaster E5. I can't say I'm very knowledgeable when it comes to audio. I just got some Sennheiser HD598cs headphones and they sound great. Best headphones I've owned yet I'd...

    How can I use my server at home to host my own VPN server?

    Cmustang87, my goals are for anonymity and secure tunnel. We got a letter from our ISP about torrent activity and it looks like one of our roomates opened up a file sharing application which triggered it. Do not want any of that sort of activity traced to me. So I thought, I have a pretty good...

    OLED 4K 30" 60 Hz - Dell UP3017Q

    Is there a competitor to this monitor? I couldn't grasp that browsing through the thread. I'd love to see something like this in a 34 inch with the same dimensions. Currently using an old Dell 3007WFP-HC which I still love. No gaming though. It would be cool if Dell had this at a store so I can...
