Hello, was wondering if someone knew quickly looking at these two mini pc's which was better. I would just use it for watching TV on 7MC and recording TV on it at 1080. Also watching some twitch streams as well. That's basically it...
Yea originally this computer was made to just be an HTPC with some lite gaming. It in short order has turned into more my main gaming computer.
Even so though I would get a cheaper mobo i *think*. I'm more interested in reliability being as it is a HTPC so probably wouldn't overlock. It's my...

This is my board. The new CPU/Mobo/Ram would be around 400ish I believe.
I will check out jet.com sounds kinda scary though. Hope it's not one of those chinese (it will take a month to get your stuff if you get it at all) kinda...
So first i'm a gamer. I play dead by daylight, mirrors edge, will play the new Deus Ex when it comes out. Would like to game at UHD @ 1080P.
Currently I have a i3-4130. I was going to upgrade to a i5 CPU. Should I stay in the same class and only upgrade the CPU to something like the Intel...
Okay thanks, I will try that tonight nick danger. Denithor, this is directly connected to the TV so i can't follow something similar to what you did. Will also try another hdmi cable again. Thanks
Hey guys not sure where to post this. It's the video card audio out so I though I would start here?
So let me start here, I recently bought this system to use as an HTPC

It's an I3 with Intel HD4400 graphics onboard. Since it's an HTPC...
I just got mine yesterday so I've seen it in person. So for what it is, it does look pretty good. I was certain impressed. Cute little added feature to have. (No that I needed it but it might get some use out of it from time to time) I Just wanted it for the HTPC aspect and as small as possible.
IMHO who even cares about the projector, the PC itself is worth the deal. But honestly having seen it, it's actually pretty darn good looking. (The projector)
So I just got this for my 3rd HTPC and might even get one to replace one of my other PC's. It's the entire PC in this deal for 290. I got it two days ago it was 275. I checked it this morning and the deal was off and it was 350 with no ram/HD. Guess they reactivated it again...
Thanks for the concern hitman, but I'm okay. This box isn't gonna be for recording. I have a nas which has all my media, and I won't be recording any TV on this box. Just watching TV, and the occasional Twitch/MLG stream. :)
Oh no I could care less about the projector. Just looking for small and cheap. The refresh issues was something about like the refresh rate of the onboard video and not working correctly with TV's? Something like sandybridge had the issue and it was supposed to be fixed with Ivybridge but...
Hey, I'm torn between these two, but i don't know if they meet my needs.

I don't know i'm affraid to try it again. I've played tomb raider fine. It's almost like the desktop itself in the windows environment was still trying to run in that mode or something as the screensize was still shrunk too. Really wierd. I'm just playing it on normal full-screen non-3d now.
Hello, I have a R9 270X. I was going to play Thief today and I put it to play in exclusive 3d mode. It crashed and I had to end task the game. When back at the desktop the video wasn't smooth anymore. Like the mouse poling looked bad wasn't smooth, even opening and closing browsers wasn't...
Awsome guys thanks for the replies. I figured I'd be chided and told to use the search function or google (and probably rightfully so).
I've come down down either using Windows Raid with two Reds, or use a program like rsync/robocopy (not sure how easy those are, seem command based hope I can...
Wait so if one disk breaks in an windows raid 1 array there is a chance the other could be broken too? I'm only speaking stricly of hardware failure.
Thanks Dave I will look into it. I'm confused though as you said it stores files on one HD, if that HD fails I would think it's gone forever and...
Yup, I've seen that mantra tons of times "Raid is not a backup." But all i'm concerned about is drive failure, so it's good enough for me. I would murder someone if I lost all my TV shows/Movies because a HD decided to die.
So that being said I wasn't really concerned with the longevity of the Red vs Green, I have a ton of green drives and they're fine. I just was only concerned about like TLER (whatever the hell that is) and if i was to use a simple raid program like windows software raid if it would even make a...
So I have a motherboard with 8 SATA connectors coming in. I'm probably going to max all them out minus 1 for the boot drive and 1 for the CDROM. So eventually 6 HD's in 3 Raid 1 Arrays. so 2, 2, 2. I would consider Raid 5 but I'm under the impression if the PC/software fails it's really hard to...
If i was to use the Windows tool (I do plan to use windows file sharing) would the reds matter?
I supposed I could use some kinda SMART program to monitor the HD's on the side as well.
I just think it's funny and contradictive of WD. I have two of the My book live duo's a 6 TB and a 8 TB one and they both use greens. 2 3TB's and 2 4TB's, heh so it had me wondering. I was also thinking of the slight power savings with the drive spin-down which doesn't both me.
Just came across NAS4FREE and FREENAS those seem like they would probably meet my needs, but do they have built in health monitoring software?
Still wondering if the Reds and TLER is needed though.
Hey guys, I've been searching around but have some quick questions. I have to protect against HD failure as I have a huge media/movie collection at home. I'm gonna build and run Win7 on a home server i'm building. I'm just wondering what is some good free software that manage a raid 1 array and...
I'd have to say no. I have a 270X however it's a i3 something broadridge and I can't go 1080P on high settings. Have to do 720P and then it's playable.
Nah you're totally fine. Still tons of holes in the situation. How Cerb is able to elicit what he did is beyond me. i.e. One would think you would RST the 360gb sata drive and not the 2TB. Who would RST a 2TB drive anyway?
Hello,
So I have this laptop that just hard powers off every 30 mins and it's pissing me off!!!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834215401
It just started recently. The laptop doesn't feel hot at all so I don't *think* it's thermal? Like the laptop feels totally cool. I don't...
So Router A =

So basically they are all 4 port routers and I already have them, so I would like to get them to work without spending...
