    New house has what looks like two independent wired networks. No documentation. Any ideas?

    Thanks! I wanted to make sure I was not crazy.

    Forgive my likely stupid questions, I see the patch panel in my network closet, but I don't seem to see a switch? Am I just missing it or blind?

    Funny thing is, this is just a four bedroom house.

    Yeah, I don't need those phones. I wonder what this guy was doing with that many phone lines. For reference, here is a picture of one of the wall panels that are everywhere. For what it is worth, the white coax cable feeds the signal from my cable company, so at least I have that part...

    Most of the rooms have ethernet and coax network wall ports. The person I bought the house from didn't use them (he was not the first owner, who had the networks installed during the construction of the house), so he knew nothing about it. I am afraid I am a little out of my depth here, both in...

    I don't think I'll go 4k within two years. I will be running a dual monitor setup, however. Your logic regarding the 980ti vs. 680 SLI makes sense. I'll stick with running one card. Thanks for the advice, everyone.

    Why do we continue to allow so few to hoard to much wealth?

    Because we are overly optimistic. One day, we think, we too will have such wealth. We are protecting a vision of the future most of us will never achieve.

    Do any of you have exp. renting out your homes?

    We have been renting out our house for a little more than 2 years now. We use a rental management company since we live several states away. We where able to get renters with solid 700+ credit ratings, and we have experienced no major issues so far. We probably spend 600-800 a year on random...
