Or use Rufus to customize the boot disk and have it create a local account automatically.

I have a pair of older dual-tuner models that don't do the transcoding that I've had laying around for a few years. Don't have them in front of me but they are probably the HDHR3-US. The first version of Plex DVRs didn't support them so I upgraded to a pair that does the transcoding. I wasn't...

Yes, badblocks is good and that satisfies my critique. It accomplishes similar things in that it forces a read of all sectors. In addition with the -w write mode it would clear pending sectors, where SMART would not. That would move them to the reallocated sector count in the report, I think...

Not a buyer, but just wanted to say nice job including the smart reports. I would feel confident enough to buy them if I were. One critique: On the sampling I looked at, it looks like you only ran a test to prepare them for sale and only short tests at that. Short tests aren't worth that...

Me too. Last I checked on the forums (weeks ago), no notifications went out yet.

Not sure what you mean by safe. I don't think it is going to start a fire or damage equipment if that is what you mean. The tape is just on pin 3, although I can't imagine why it wouldn't work on all 3 pins.

I just used scotch tape for a while.

Did you check that 3.3v is disabled from the power supply connector?

No point in a hot spare for a raid 1, which freenas calls a mirror, just add the disk to the mirror resulting in a 3 disk mirror. You'll be better protected that way.

WD says warranty is 2 years http://products.wdc.com/library/AAG/ENG/4178-705859.pdf

Someone should really come up with an ultra low fee ebay competitor and put them out of business. I would think at 1 or 2 % surcharge and high volume there should be plenty of profit to be had. BWTHDIK?

The plex layout is one of the things I like. I don't have a roku. I use fire sticks and the windows plex player. If the roku is similar to other plex clients you can control it remotely from the phone or web app. Just something else to try. But generally if you don't like the interface, I...

Yes the epg is deficient without a grid view. But they are widely available on the internet. I use zap-2-it to browse shows then find them on plex.

I went from WMC->Myth->Plex DVR (very briefly in early Beta)->Myth->Plex DVR over the years. I really like Plex DVR now. It's the first setup that I've actually been happy with. It's not perfect but it's good enough for what I want and they seem to be continuously improving it. I have a...

my last drive to fail was a WD red pro 6TB due to recurring ATA errors. Drive was 1 year into the 5 year warranty. I RMA'd it, got a refurb, same model. Within a month it was having the same ATA errors. RMA'd again. This time got a new drive as the replacement, and a newer model number. So...

Did Intel disable support for ECC in the kaby lake core i3? I can't find a review that directly mentions it. Skylake had it.

haha. Dug up this old thread. Mine failed today; a little less than 4 years old.

I think it is a great price and ordered one.

hahaha, i like this guy; he can live

price drop before it goes on ebay

No warranty

I get the distinct impression that these are starting to be unloaded to make room for the forthcoming 960/961. I picked one up from Newegg for $290 something last week.

I couldn't tell you.

Haven't tried selling anything here before.

Sapphire R9 290X Tri-x OC Used; card only; works fine; I don't OC; I upgraded to a 980Ti $250 shipped in the lower 48 paypal is fine for payment I don't have any heatware yet; I've only done ebay before, but getting sick of them. Reviews/Feedback for etekberg | HeatWare.com cartmanlee on eBay

I would presume. $3 shipping must be for something.

I'd say somewhat good. Doesn't do 4:4:4. Might be acceptable depending upon your usage, but definitely not as good as a typical monitor. I used one for a while and stopped using it. I've got a 34" ultra wide right now..

Also SE42UM is on sale today for $250: http://www.amazon.com/Seiki-SE42UM-42-Inch-Ultra-Black/dp/B00RBA9MOC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1457024980&sr=8-2&keywords=se42um I have one and it isn't great, but good for the price.

I don't think it does 4:4:4. Take a picture of this displayed at 100% (no zoom). http://cdn.avsforum.com/b/b4/b4a44044_vbattach208609.png

Samsung UN40JU6500 is generally considered to be the cheapest option. Currently at $600ish+. It's been on sale for $450 before, but not sure it ever will be again. Lots of people use 4:2:2 monitors. A Seiki SE42UM can be had for $300.

I said I'd never buy a crazy expensive video card like this, but ....well... I guess I'm a liar

You can also buy a DP port to HDMI cable that will do 60Hz properly now, like this: Amazon.com: Club3D Mini Displayport 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 UHD (CAC-1170): Computers & Accessories

TotalBiscuit and Dodger? Now that clears it up for me. Definitely too old... Atleast now after 12 years I finally have enough posts to post in the FS/FT section.

Who is Jesse Cox and what makes this deal hot? Maybe I'm just getting too old?

Mine came with an HDMI cable and no DP cable. Using the HDMI, the monitor doesn't wake after going to sleep. I'll have to try DP

I'm not sure if I should buy 3 of these or branded WD Red 4TB for the same price.

Perfectly happy with my pair of ancient 24" Dells, but I bit. What do I do for gaming on this thing, use 1080p?

For you other Xcom fans. Cheaper than steam. Installs on steam. http://www.amazon.com/XCOM-Enemy-Within-Online-Game/dp/B00FEOUDUE

I think that depends on the drive inside the external. I cracked one open, checked the warranty on the bare drive and it came up as OEM: contact OEM manufacturer for warranty.
