The router I am using is working great with Chromecast & Plex to my TV. Not sure if the Chromecast is using 5Ghz or 2.4Ghz...not sure how to check. I believe I have both SSIDs the same. Just fyi.

I have one of these and it works great. Can easily be put into Access Point mode with one click: http://www.asus.com/Networking/RTN66U/

Congrats, sedrosken, for getting something in return for your hard work and dedication to your education!

Thanks guys. I decided just to get a Hyper 212 EVO since I really won't be attempting to do any significant overclocking. I expect it'll be more reliable & quieter.

What's your impression regarding pump noise? I've read someone claim that the pumps are noisy when the fans are plugged into the pump for power instead of being plugged into an external power source (away from the pump). Thanks!

What are your opinions on the current crop of AIO Liquid cooling solutions out there? I'm looking for input from those with personal experience using them. I'm sure the performance with these things are good but how about noise levels? I'm currently considering putting and H100i in my...

Everything is sold except the Super Duper Wonder RAM.

LOL. I have no idea. That's just what they were calling the stuff in the forums back when I purchased it. It was supposed to be really good for high speeds at low voltage. I just bought it because it was a sweet deal and was low profile. http://www.overclock.net/t/1406655/samsung-wonder-ram

Retail Boxed FX-8320 currently installed in a GA-970A-UD3PGigabyte GA-970A-UD3P. Unused AMD OEM Heatsink/fan also included (it was actually used for about an hour). Combo worked awesome in my WHS doing some transcoding duty, I just no longer need it with the consolidation of computers I did...

Thanks for the tips. Noctua makes inline resistors of different sizes that you might be able to use either with or without the FD fan controller to get your desired speed. The Noctua fans I used in the Prodigy came with two different size resistors that I actually used together because I...

The last system I built was m-ITX in a Bitfenix Prodigy. Decided to combine my WHS and Desktop into one machine so I moved my desktop system along with the drives from the WHS into a Fractal Design Define R4 Blackout (without the window) that I got for $80 shipped on Newegg (and switched back...

Dave is right. Chrysler started using variable vane turbos in the 90's which helped with the lag. Also, variable length/volume induction system also helped by allowing the intake manifold to have longer narrower (low volume) runners at low engine speeds with butterfly type valves that would...

Agree. I didn't drive the 6MT but the auto was what I would call 'good'. With any manual I think you will notice the turbo lag more because you don't have a torque converter to help keep the engine at the desired RPM (from a start, anyway) and you have to rely on your ability to slip the...

Howdy - I was using one of these drives to expand my DVR but I no longer need it. http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-701250.pdf My understanding is that these drives lack some error checking features that typical PC drives have to ensure no lost frames on video...

I'm no stranger to turbocharged vehicles. My father worked for Chrysler in the 80's and 90's and we had turbo cars all the time. Shit, Chrysler was even putting turbos in their minivans back then! Drove a 1986 Dodge Daytona Tubo-Z 5-speed for about 9 years. It was an OK vehicle except for...

Price is way out of my league for a C7. I got a great deal on the ATS otherwise it would not have happened. It's a lease by the way, so 3 years of fun. 321HP>272HP and the weight penalty is only about 60 lbs more on the front wheels (easily offset by my son in backseat) so I opted for the V6...

Got wifey a new car which means I have a new weekend car. :diablo:

Well it works so I'm happy. Anyway..I got a ChromeCast and it's working fine with my bedroom TV and Plex on my media server..so that TV is all set. I lost the ability to stream to that TV when I switched back to Comcast and their X1 platform. When I was with WOW, the UltraTV client boxes had...

Thanks for the info. The location I'm considering the ChromeCast or the FireTV is actually a bedroom. So Stereo TV is not an issue because the TV only has 2 speakers. Sounding like Chromecast is the most cost efficient this this application maybe? With regard to DLNA audio, my Serviio server...

Still mulling this FireTV over a bit in my head. If all I want to do with my TV is access movies that are on my Plex Media Server (Blue-Ray's ripped to MKV) is Chromecast my best/cheapest option as opposed to the FireTV? Only potential down side that jumps out at me is that it is only a...

Adorable. Reminds me of good times... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrkvC4Gv0dY

Talk about pain, my Dad has been suffering from postherpetic neuralgia from a severe case of the shingles he had for the past 4 years or so. My Dad is allergic to opoids and basically nothing helps the to stop flairups he still has, which are quite regular, but never on a schedule. You...

Thanks I will do that!

Maybe I should just run Plex on my server and then I can use the Fire TV w/o problem? My other TV, Panasonic Plasma has DLNA built it so I'm thinking that could also access the Plex server.. ? Plex resistance is futile? Nice thing about Servioo is that I can run it as a service, no login...

You know exactly where I'm coming from. If I just need a DLNA adapter to add streaming to my TV and my DLNA server does transcoding, what's the best one out there?

I don't use Plex for my DLNA server, I'm still using Serviio just because it has been working fine for me and I see no need to change it. So, did I read right that there is no DLNA client yet available without doing a bunch of work arounds? I'd like something simple to use to get DLNA...

If it supported DLNA I would order one today. Any idea if that will be added? I read somewhere that it doesn't support DLNA. Would like to hear your review after you have played with it for a while.

Great one mubs...I had to share it!

I used a Win8 product key to download a Win8 and install it w/o any problem.

Agree with Doug on this. The payoff can be quick but the equipment has jumped in price a lot lately. I am thinking about selling a 270 for $100 profit, itself. Back when I was on vacation, my 4 Mh/s setup was getting me close to $60 per day. Here's my main 6x rig in the pic below. I built...

Agree Amazon is better but if they don't have what you want in stock and Newegg does, every little bit helps.

Even though I think it would be cool because I'm into mining now like you, it probably would not work as intended here.

Tehtering or Mobile Hotspot is about $21 per minute out here though so I'll pass on that!

Work phone comes with unlimited global voice and data. :) and I did check work email and voice mail in addition to administering my mining rig via TeamViewer, when I could get 3g in San Juan. :)

Tomorrow I'm returning to Michigan after being in Florida & the Caribbean for 9 days. This is going to suck. Badly. Amazing my cell phone is working even though our ship won't be at the port in Orlando for about another 12 hours. 1x connection is slow but usable.

If you have an Amex card you can use it to register for a free, non expiring Shoprunner account and get Free 2 day shipping on lots of Newegg items. You don't even need to use the Amex card to pay, it just needs to be the default initial payment selection. IIRC, it includes free returns too...

What do you think of this for the price? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Windows-Surface-Tablet-with-32GB-Memory-10-6-Surface-32GB/181303933838?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item2a368e7b8e

CONGRATS. Now you have time to dedicate more time to computers and fun stuff!

Win 8 is the only Windows O/S that'll let you 5-6 AMD GPUs incase you need that kind of thing. :)

This one I like.

Got one...no longer looking.

-15F on the thermometer this morning. Coldest here in about 20 years.

What Doug said, for the most part. The 290's are roughly 3-4x the cost of the 270s yet the offer only about 2x the performance in KH/s. In the long run, if the run is long, the 290s are a better value but I wanted to choose the card that would pay for itself the soonest. I think I got that...

Yes I am making $ too. :) Right now have 3 R9 270's running with a 4th on the way and contemplating a 5th. Sold my Asus R9 270 for a nice profit as the Gigabyte ones are just fine & cheap. Going to sell my R9 270X Asus as well for a much bigger profit and replace it with a base Gigabyte R9...

Looking for a CPU with HSF you guys don't need anymore. Cheap? Slow? GOOD! As long as it'll fit in an AM3+ Socket. Thanks, Clocker

Agree with you on the upgrade to 8.1 from Win7 not really being worth it. I did it, primarily because I wanted to take my Win7 activation code and use it on my Laptop (replacing Vista Basic on the laptop). There are some minor improvements in Win8 with Classic Shell, but I'd not say it's...

If you're looking to save some bucks, on New Years Eve I picked up the A-Data SP600 that comes with the 3.5" bay adapter and Acronis data migration software for $49.99 shipped free. So, there are deals to be had if you wait for them...
