Question Discontinued 3080?

Did you use a tracking site to alert you on availability? If not, please teach me sensei as my Amazon-foo is weak. No matter how specific I get with my searches, I never seem to get anything except the scalper versions to come up or completely non-related cards like $899 1080Ti's.

Question Would you buy a OLED TV for a monitor? Which there of these would you prefer?

Any initial impressions to share? How is it better/worse than your previous monitor? Any issues with image retention so far? Are there any quirks that annoy you? Any surprises?

Ah, crap that sucks man. Nothing worse than getting a cool new tech toy and having it be DOA. Good luck with a smooth return. I am sure BB will treat you right.

Question Would you buy a OLED TV for a monitor? Which there of these would you prefer?

I know it is only Friday, but inquiring minds want to know, did you receive your new display? If so, what do you think? I am really debating pulling the trigger on one of those as well. I currently have a 38" ultrawide, but I just don't care for the aspect ratio.

Question Need advice on hardware/software for custom NAS

I did some checking last night after I powered everything up and I am at 45% capacity with 11 minutes of estimated run time with my current 1350VA tower UPS. Given that I don't intend to add any additional gear to the rack anytime soon, I decided the most cost effective course of action is to...

Thanks Muadib. Tripp-Lite is definitely on my list. I plan on culling the list down to 3 or so and then seeing which of those is on the supported list for NUT so I can have my FreeNAS server power down automatically in the event of a power failure. I think something in the 1500VA/900-1000W...

Question Need advice on hardware/software for custom NAS

I think the best bang for the buck right now in 10Gb switches is MikroTik. Most of their models support running either as a full managed switch or as a router. I picked these up for my 10Gb storage network using a mix of DAC's and fiber. The 24 port unit is a switch only, but they also have...

So what was the solution? I have been trying to figure out a way for Afterburner to autostart when using a standard user account and have not been successful. The only way I can get it to work is to login with an admin account which I do not want to do.

Sad day for my NAS

Well, it was bound to happen I suppose. Yesterday I was copying a few files over to my NAS4Free server (Fujitsu MX130 S2 based). After about 8 gigs had been copied over, I decided to start up another copy stream. Dragged the file from the local folder to the NAS...and nothing. Locked up. :\...

Pillars of Eternity - To be released March 26th. Who's excited?

I would be interested in such a site as well. It seems the basic RPG mechanics of this game are similar but different from the norm. It also sounds like it is easy to gimp a character if you make bad choices early on.

Is Wi-Fi from one house to another feasible?

Any plasma owners here? A little paranoid about burn-in

It is a complete non-issue for newer plasma sets. I have a Panasonic that is 5 or 6 years old and it has no trace of burn in. If you leave a show paused for a while (hour or so), you may see some image retention if you look at a grey or off white screen. Image retention is NOT the same as...

Network/IP camera $200 max recommendation

Any reason not to buy a 4k monitor?

This seems to be a common sentiment among earlier adopters; but is this really a Windows issue or is it an application issue? Most of the 4K reviews I have read seem to point to the latter. If this is the case, are we sure Win9 will solve the problem? After all, Microsoft has little control...

Microcenter, Auria EQ276WN 2880 x 1620, 27" IPS for $400

I am pretty sure this is not correct. 1080i referred to the fact that the display output was interlaced. This means that every other scan line was illuminated every "cycle". This is why 1080i sets tended to have issues with flickering. The TVs did in fact have 1920X1080 pixels however. 1080p...
