    DAN A4-SFX: The smallest gaming case in the world

    So, I decided for my family's new "office PC" to go with the Dan A4 (v4) since my wife and I love minimalism in the office. The parts shopping journey has begun as the case arrived this afternoon. Any gotchas, nice-to-knows, etc. I should know about before doing my research and ordering parts?

    Mounting a Wireless AP to Ceiling

    From the looks of the chart, an in-wall solution may be best since it won't be required to power anything "behind" it (or in my case, above it) since there will be one on each floor. Thanks for all the info y'all! I really appreciate it.

    Mounting a Wireless AP to Ceiling

    That does help. That's the exact way my ceiling looks (w/ a blank faceplate) currently. How many extra screws / drywall anchors did the Ubiquiti bracket require?

    Mounting a Wireless AP to Ceiling

    The Ubiquiti solution may be best since I already have a USG. Would one of these in-wall APs work if mounted on the ceiling? Seems like I'd be limited by the by the beamwidth when its pointing straight to the floor. Thanks for all the inputs y'all. From the sound of it, any AP I purchase...

    Mounting a Wireless AP to Ceiling

    I just moved into a house with a structured wiring panel and its pre-wired for two wireless access points (1x upstairs, 1x downstairs). The termination points are the panel and square in-wall electrical box in the ceiling (like this...

    Windows Update Keeps Trying to Install Printer Drivers

    Thanks for the suggestions. It turned out the USB port I was using for the controller had a screwed up driver. Windows couldn't figure out the problem was with the USB while the adapter was plugged in. Once I unplugged the dongle, the real problem surfaced and it was an easy fix.

    Windows Update Keeps Trying to Install Printer Drivers

    For the past week (or so), when I boot my gaming PC, I keep getting a message from WU stating my printer drivers are awaiting install. So I click the install now button and WU immediately updates to the green check mark (everything is up-to-date). However, the process repeats when I restart my...

    Hot: Humble Bundle Company of Heroes 10 year Anniversary $1, $5, $10

    I have played the first one multiple times, and I agree with you. Also, for those wondering, there is a mod for COH1 that lets you scrimmage with modern day military equipment. Check it out: Modern Combat I'm so on the fence about COH2 because reviews and opinions are all over the reservation.

    Hot: Humble Bundle Company of Heroes 10 year Anniversary $1, $5, $10

    Interesting...are those three modes alone worth it then? Also, is it possible to get all of the achievements without playing multiplayer? I'm okay if there are, but only if their easily obtaining like play xx number of matches, etc. I've become an achievement whore in my old age :(.

    Power Adapter/Cable Question

    So pins 1, 7, and 8 should be square? Is this true of all PCIe 8-pin connectors?

    Power Adapter/Cable Question

    So I used the 4+4 connector for the motherboard; however, I don't think the 8-pin coming from the PSU is meant for a GPU. The connections look different from the images I've seen of GPU connection points. Am I just seeing things? Or are there different types of 8-pin connections from a PSU...

    Power Adapter/Cable Question

    Thanks for sharing that. I guess I never really looked into using the 4+4 for the m/b. The manual for my m/b just mentions using an 8-pin connector (not specific about 4+4, 6+2, or straight 8). I'll re-open my case tonight and plug the 4+4 into the m/b...then the straight 8-pin will be freed...

    Power Adapter/Cable Question

    So there is an 8-pin already part of the PSU, but its powering the motherboard. There is also a 4+4-pin coming from the PSU, which is not hooked in. Can I use this 4+4 for the GPU or the motherboard? Am I back to my original thought, using a 6-pin to 8-pin adapter? Thanks again for all the help.

    Power Adapter/Cable Question

    Thanks for the replies. I'll have to look again at my PSU, but I didn't see any 8-pin connectors. Also, I swear it wasn't fully modular when I bought it...there were 3 main cables that were "part of the unit" and 2 extra 6-pin slots that were modular.

    Power Adapter/Cable Question

    If I buy a GPU that uses a 1x8-pin power connector, can I use a 6-pin to Dual 8(6+2)-pin cable to connect the GPU to my PSU? My PSU (Seasonic M12II old model) only has a 6-pin connector leaving it, while the GPU (MSI 1060) I'm thinking about requires an 8-pin connection. Any help is...

    Recommend some Steam games for an 8 year old?

    When I do a search in the start menu on W10, I get results I want plus more under a header titled "winrt-- s-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXX" (X is random string of numbers). I think this is my user unique identifier, but unsure. Is this correct? Also, how do I get files under that header to stop...

    How much is these kind of racing setup costs?

    I think Happy is referring more the exaggerated motion of the seat. No level of acceleration in a car would have you looking at the sky...unless of course the car was pointed to the sky. That's another issue entirely.

    What do you think of the paid modding model employed by Valve?

    Valve should just add a "Donate" button on every creator's/mod's page. Then, if someone donated, split the money (not using the current %s though). If someone donates, then the split should be something like 60% user, 30% publisher/developer, 10% Valve. I support giving the developer a good...

    Getting my kids a new console - which one?

    Another vote for Wii U here. Both my kids are younger than 10 and love it. Plus, there aren't many games on the Wii U that I wouldn't let my kids play alone (ZombieU comes to mind).

    Assetto Corsa Official Release Thread.

    Are the menus more wheel/pedal and/or controller friendly than they were? I understand its simulation and wants people to play with wheel/pedal setups, but even with those, the menus are clunky and still require a mouse.

    Steam 2014 Winter sale is here! runs from December 18th to January 2nd.

    Only damage done so far is MS Flight Simulator X...I couldn't resists all that game has to offer for $5. I really want Valkyrie Chronicles, but I have too many games I need to play before getting involved in another.

    Super Smash Wii U

    Well, I finally picked up the game today. Also got a few amiibos...Fox, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Kirby. I haven't "connected" any of the amiibos yet, but from what I've played of the game, its very polished. My son and I have enjoyed our battles.
