Hi all, I have essentially six monitors that I would like to share between 2 computers and would like to only use 1 keyboard and a mouse to switch between the systems. I was looking into different virtual KVM software and was trying to figure out what the best way to set this up would be. Open...

Don't the SSDs provide any advantage? Faster access, no moving parts so less likely to fail? Please inform me - I am a self-admitted noob and just want to understand. thanks.

Thanks all for your comments. Ultimately, I want something that will be a storage solution, and secondly, would love to be able to share files amongst computers on my network, and lastly would love to have a scanner attached to it (I have a fujitsu scansnap i500) that i can scan loads of...

Hi all, I have recently decided (due to some suggestions made in a previous thread by lakedude) to build or buy a good raid NAS. What I am looking for is drive redundancy and high capacity storage. I am open to building a system and using something like FreeNAS, or something similar. i am...

This is an interesting idea lakedude. Currently only using a 3TB timecapsule for my apple backups. Any suggestions on a build for such a server?

Good info Ketchup, thanks. I agree with you. I'll probably end up paying more for the i7 6700 unfortunately if i can't find one reasonably before the tax year is over.

DigDog, want to take a stab at a build with those specs? I'm interested in all options! including overclocking if need be.

So yeah, 1. Yeah no need or huge desire to overclock anymore 2. By small, I do mean case. It doesn't have to be small, but smaller is better. Space is a premium. 3. Thanks for the link. I want to spend the microcenter price of ~$320, but if its not available at that price by year end...

I have a microcenter nearby, thanks for the heads up! *EDIT* actually i am going to have to wait because the i7 6700 is sold out at my local Microcenters in Atlanta. :( Hard to find it at a reasonable price.

Thanks guys! I'll pick all this up probably tonight!

Hi all, haven't been around these parts for a long time. Med school happened, then residency, now i work for myself and I have been using Mac products for the past decade or so and haven't owned a PC. That being said, I am ready to foray back into the PC world, but don't have the slightest...

Hey all, I give a lot of presentations in the academic setting and have recently been using my iPad with keynote and an adapter to hook into the AV system in smaller rooms. I have been lugging around some smaller cheapo computer speakers because I also play video for some of my...

need suggestions. Thanks for your input in advance! I've seen quite a few but am curious what people who have experience with them think.

the problem with terra is that you can't make bookmarks. At least not that I've found.

Goibg to Waikiki, Oahu for a conference in may. Will be there for about 9-10 days. I've never been there, anything to do? Thinking of skipping out on a lot of the conference so island hopping is in. However, I have no idea what's worth doing and what isn't. As an aside, I SCUBA. Thanks in...
