Plex server on Wifi, Media Library wired to Router: Is This Stupid?

Thanks for the great responses. This setup has been working well since my wifi is robust, but I will plan to move to a NAS running Plex server, and in the meantime hardwire the media storage to the Shield

Plex server on Wifi, Media Library wired to Router: Is This Stupid?

My basic question is whether my setup results in my local media being bounced over wi-fi before it is streamed via Plex to an external client. Here's the setup: Plex media server on Nvidia Shield. The device is in my entertainment center, and connected to my network via wi-fi Library is on...

Can I get a DVI-D to Analog adapter?

I believe you'll need a powered (and more expensive) converter.

2013 Steam Summer Sale! DEAD

I know we can't arrange for group purchases of games like Monaco offering 4-packs in this thread. Anyone know if there's another thread where we're allowed to do that?

2013 Steam Summer Sale! DEAD

Think Sleeping Dogs is a good buy at $6.75, or better to wait for a deal including all the DLC as well?

Vote: Is my PSU or Video Card causing rebooting?

As promised, I'm here for the final update. It was the PSU. I swapped out the 5 year old OCZ for a 660W 80 Plus Platinum Seasonic PSU, and haven't had a crash since (in this amount of time with the old PSU, I would have had probably 20 crashes). Thanks for everyone's input.

(How) Do divining rods work?

I have heard it has to do with a type of anaerobic, iron-consuming bacteria, that typically congregate where a trench has been formed. When these bacteria die, their "bodies" orient North-to-south (magnetic poles) due to their iron content. It is this N-S field that the rods detect. Don't...

Thanks guys. I have confirmed that thermals are just fine on CPU and video card. I'm jumping on the Newegg deal for the Seasonic 660W 80 Plus Platinum PSU tonight, and will install it in a few days. Will report back to confirm if that wolved my issues, for the curious.

Vote: Is my PSU or Video Card causing rebooting?

In October I built the rig in my signature. Most parts were new, but I recycled the Sapphire HD 6950 video card and the OCZ Power Supply from my previous machine. The Video Card is approximately 2 years old. The Power Supply is approximately 4-5 years old. My new system ran great until...

My automatic won't shift unless I take foot off accelerator

3 days ago my 1994 Volvo 940 Wagon abruptly started having odd shifting behavior which it's never done before in the 10 years I've owned it. The car will not shift gears while accelerating -- it will reach very very high RPM's -- until I remove my foot from the accelerator. The only exception...
