Yeah, I'll consider anything to lower the price, just don't want it to become obsolete. Would like to use the server as a backup if I don't have my laptop (very sparingly probably). What case would you suggest that has usb 3.0 capability and at least 4 HDD bays? thanks!

Sorry I was a little vague. Here is what I'm looking for. 1. This will strictly be a media server playing over a wired and wireless connection (wired connection for HD videos). 90% of time will be streaming of my HD 720P movies to my TV. Music and photos will be used sparingly for now. 2. My...

So I have a coolermaster HAF 932 case, and an optical drive. Where would I start in regards to what other parts I need. Don't want to go overboard. Just need a solid mobo that supports SATA and USB 3.0, good ram and PSU and a 2TB HDD. Media server will be used for streaming music and lots of...

So I bought a COOLER MASTER HAF 932 case back in November thinking I would build a new computer but realized since I use my laptop 99% of the time, I will just build a media server that will be a lot cheaper. Along with this case, what else should I get? Do I really only need bare bones parts...

I have a Westell Ultraline Series 3 router (model 9100EM). Since it was issued by Verizon when I had their FiOS, I should probably call Frontier and see if they will replace it with one of their routers. I want to update the firmware, but how would i do this?

I should say I HAD Verizon FiOS service, but here in WA they were sold to Frontier FiOS. Does this make a difference on following the tutorial for bridge mode? Also, I'm looking but can't find this tutorial on bridge mode....

Someone told me because this is a Verizon FiOS router I have to deal with Verizon directly about changing routers. Sounds weird. How true is this? Thought I could just buy my own wireless router. I would go the access pt. way but I don't want a wire running through my house. Also, do you...

So I have a Verizon FiOS issued wireless G router (UltraLine Series 3 Model 9100EM). The range on this router is terrible when I'm anything more than 10 ft. away from the router. What new wireless router do you guys suggest? I will probably go the wireless N route, but unsure if I need...

yeah, thinking I will stick with the extreme. Bracket is probably $15-20 on its own anyways, and will need one in the future.

yeah, I think I will give this mobo a try. I love the USB 3.0 bracket they include with it. With work great with my HAF 932 Coolermaster case. The usb 2.0 and 3.0 speeds too, are faster than the competition in their benchmarks.

So I read the anandTech review of the ASRock P67 EXTREME4, newegg.com reviews and it seems like this board is very solid. My concern is that I can't find a ton of review for this board (newegg.com has 16 as of right now). I'm planning on pairing this with a core i5 2500k. Do you guys have any...
