I would, in a minute.
GPU/Quicksync doesn't do it for me (Archive and Quality). A standalone RDP box with that clocked way, way up would KILL.
That would be my first AMD purchase I made since AM2.
Nevermind.
I don't usually watch any TV on my HTPC; Working, I either work/browse on one monitor and have something playing on another, either video or music. Is there a remote the I can hit "pause" on, no matter what window has focus when the phone rings which only pays attention to mpc-hc.exe or...
Also here with striped 80GB Intel G2s for nearly five years and three systems being hammered as a scratch disc... These would probably be fine as OS drives until the zombies come.
This will last that long:

I've used ASUS "corporate stable" boards in the past; my Mom had one of my socket 775 machines for eight years and three CPUs... this one is sabertooth based, and will likely live longer than a pet.

This has been pretty great for me building software RAID-10s:

I've built a few low-end Haswell workstations with this card, as I have NEVER had any luck using an additional controller with a motherboard's added controllers. This plus...
Rendering queues don't rely a whole lot on extensions, ECC memory or anything else crazy expensive for that matter, so I'll take two (5820K), and crank them. I have an actual workstation for presentation. I had an actual employee from NewTek a few years ago try to give me specs for ~$500...
One of the main reasons you want JBOD is that RAID-5 will use all discs euqually; however many discs you have in the array, they'll all spin-up. RAID basically maximizes the probability that multiple discs will fail within the same time frame.
If a single disc fails, you will NOT sleep well...
I would love a super high-clocked multi-core machine like your Sandy; this thing rarely hits 3.6, which it's supposed to do more often than not. I'd have no problem with her doing 5GHz @ 400-watts on 12-cores. As it is, this is easily twice as fast as my OCd 980X was, with 3-times the memory...
The 920 was bad, no doubt, but so was Thuban. An AMD 1090 couldn't kill an early i7... and the six-core Thuban was basically a 150% C2Q9650 in general use. The 4770K is FAST. In Handbrake a Xeon 1230v3 (slower than a 4770) is faster than my 930 was @4Ghz.
It really depends on what you're doing. For web browsing, my friend's Athlon-II from 2009 with an Intel G2 SSD is as fast as my main rig (which is very fast). A 4770K, stock, is faster than ANY overclocked quad-core Nehalem CPU. Hell; an AMD 8350 is faster than an i7 920 cooled with liquid...
This isn't really a big deal. OCZ tried to sell the Vectors at higher-than 840 Pro prices. If Crucial declared bankruptcy I'd be upset, but OCZ? They're barely a step above RAMBUS to me.
You don't have anything to worry about; My workstation runs about 88C running Povray and handbrake at once on 12 cores... one of the nice things to come from Ivy Xeons was all-turbo that works.
The 870 was/is a hell of a CPU; IMO up there with the i7-920 and Q6600.
It's basically a Z87 board with ECC support. I know ASRock is entering the server market (I looked over their dual 2011 boards awhile back), but Supermicro and Tyan are the only boards I'll look at for a long time... because they've been solid for a long time.
The only time I've strayed is...
16TB + 16TB mirror (Seagate 4TB NAS drives RAID-10 in two 8-disc arrays)...
At the rate I use Handbrake, this will probably be enough for me for several years.
2x3TB for a Ceton tuner, a 3TB for new disc storage, a 3TB for downloads.
Two Plextor M5P 512GB "RAID"-0 for Photoshop etc. scratch, a...
I telecommute to Cornell... you do mean the one in Ithaca, yes? I used to work for TRW Asset Protection Services, later for Northrop-Grumman Spacer Systems (After Northrop ate TRW)... do you want to be outed on a huge forum? I didn't go to Cornell; I went to Sonoma State and the Defense...

You do NOT have a degree in ANYTHING... Buy this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820249025
And get the frak off our forum.
You fucking hypocrite... A "student?"
You seem to type in text message format; I find this surprising for an educated writer.
Virtually all of those drives will remain operational for their lifetime. I have an Intel SSD I've been using for over 5 years, and a few Plextor M3s going for 3. The Plextor SSDs are in RAID-0 with no...
I just built a hybrid disc on my 3770 HTPC (I use a 3770 as I expect it to transcode from a Ceton tuner); TRIM is not enabled using Intel's SSD cache crap; using Marvell 9230 it is. As an uninteresting aside: never use linux with Marvell 9230. I'm shortly going to use a 2375v3/C226 setup...
I suggest in 8.2/9 that there should be more novice-friendly SSD management and application installations; I see us coming to a point where the default OEM configurations of store-bought PCs will have an SSD and platter disc. Don't default downloads to a the SSD's browser directory, but a...
What's the deal you have? A 3820 is around $300, and the E5-2670 is ridiculous. Can you get the Xeon for $300?!?!. Buy a 4771(TSX) on a Gigabyte UD5 Z87 or a 4930K on ASUS; I seriously doubt you'll severely tax either one... Both would be better gaming chips than what you're looking at. The...
