    Synology NAS setup

    This is what I ended up doing. I'll have more total space to work with for non-important things than if I went RAID1, and can implement actual backups rather than just vulnerable redundancy. Thanks for the input!

    Synology NAS setup

    I'll be setting up a Synology DS213j this weekend with two 3TB drives. I don't really have the need for RAID1. What I'd LIKE to do is have both drives be set up as separate entities and manually implement some selective redundancy between the two, as not everything that I'll be storing on...

    PC won't POST after cleaning.

    Thanks for both of the responses! I'd unplugged and replugged reverything, testing to see if it would power on with only minimal things plugged in along the way. I ended up going out and purchasing a new PSU (this one was 4 years+ anyway). With the new PSU, and bare minimum plugs in the...

    PC won't POST after cleaning.

    I cleaned out all the gunk and dust from my case, as well as installed a new HDD. I redid alot of the cable management, and plugged everything back in. Now, the motherboard light comes on (ASUS P6X58D-E) when the PSU is turned on, so I'm guessing PSU is fine. Still, no power when you press...

    Suggested pairings for new CPU

    Sorry, I was referring specifically to the video card. You bring up good points, I'll just be upgrading that later on (a few months later).

    Suggested pairings for new CPU

    Just looking for some experienced opinions. I've built a few PCs for myself, but it has been a few years. I recently obtained a http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=37148&processor=i7-940&spec-codes=SLBCK at a good price and I'm looking to buy a good motherboard for it and some ram. I do...

    Bittorrent/Router/Connection Help

    The problem isn't so much that I can't get download speeds, it just seems to be hogging the resources and making it so I can't access certain things (WoW, login sites, etc) Most regular sites work fine, other downloads work fine.

    Bittorrent/Router/Connection Help

    Fair enough. After doing a little reading, that seems like it very well could be the problem with the main issue. I'll update this later on. Thanks!

    Bittorrent/Router/Connection Help

    Well, to start off, I'm not the MOST knowledgeable person when it comes to ports and port forwarding and setting up everything router-wise, so feel free to assume I might not have tried a simple fix. Here's my issue: I have this modem: Link Along with this router:Link Me and my...

    Cycling For A Cause - Alaska to Panama by Bike

    Awesome undertaking. I've dreamt about doing this for about 10 years now, but haven't been in the financial position. Always though a West->East trip would be nice.

    Boo Steam!

    I think that would fix most of your problems. When I played CS and CS:S and still DoD:S, I would find a server or three I liked with good players and frequent those servers often. Usually they'll have relatively active members, don't have to worry about hackers, etc etc. They're all multiplayer...

    WoW question

    Furthest I've ever gotten a mage is to 18. Does their fun level increase? I just got bored with the downtime.

    WoW question

    Gah, was typing when you posted triacontahedron. Thanks for the heads up though! I basically threw rogue in there because it is still a consideration, depite me tihnking druid or lock being the obvious better choice. We will be doing a mix, with probably a good bit more focus on pvp. I know...

    WoW question

    I've been checking out the realms at www.warcraftrealms.com. Their census mod is helpful in getting an idea of the makeup of different servers, what classes are popular, etc. I'm noticing that horde is made up now by anywhere between 40% and 50% blood elves. So for every one Troll, Forsaken...

    WoW question

    My highest druid was 36, highest shaman was 52 (first character). Though shaman has a bit more "kick" with their spells (imo) than a druid, I just plain prefer druid out of the two hybrids. And yeah, Warlocks with HoTs to eat up for mana? *drool*.

    WoW question

    Yeah, I'm thinking Druid or Lock. Druids are just so versatile.

    WoW question

    Any new PvP servers scheduled to be opened up, or a way to find the most recent? A bud is making a BE priest. Best class to compliment each other? Warlock, Rogue, or Druid. Plenty of WoW experience, just pollin.

    Upgrading from a 19" CRT to a 19" LCD

    Barkotron- Have any trouble with backlight bleeding? Hahaha Oblivion is sooo great. Looks good on your monitor? no ghosting? (not that Oblivion is incredibly fast paced). Ahhh, gotcha, so some simple hacking is all it takes? No side effects from that?

    Upgrading from a 19" CRT to a 19" LCD

    Thanks for the input. I'm in a small apartment, so this will be my primary moviewatching screen as well, so it's definitely a factor. and since I love widescreen format for movies (over fullscreen), that's what's made me consider a widsescreen monitor. The only downside (that I can think of so...

    Upgrading from a 19" CRT to a 19" LCD

    I know very little about LCD technology, only what I've read in a few online reviews from Tom's and some topics here on the boards. Basically, I want an LCD. My budget is around 250-300$. I can go a little higher, but not much. The primary use will be games, followed closely by movies and a...

    Is "Gun" Worth playing?

    Hit the nail on the head. Wasn't a bad game, awesome voicing and okay plotline, but it's basically a starts off fun, then spirals downward into GTAish gameplay, imo.

    Starting a new WoW Char

    Yeah, it'll be fun to see some of the end game bosses. Always hear people talk about them, but never actually fought against one. I'm sure it lapsese into tedium pretty quickly, but hopefully a good PC game will have been released by then that I can detour to.

    Starting a new WoW Char

    *applauds* I would have also accepted "No thanks". :) I haven't played past 45ish, still a good bit of the game I haven't covered, not to mention the expansion coming up. *shrugs* Thanks for the honest reply.

    Starting a new WoW Char

    Been a few months since I've played, no other MMO games have caught my eye. All done with Far Cry and Quake 4. Back to WoW I go! I might make a character on Gul'dan, the two week old PvP realm. OR, I might wait until blizzard throws up another batch of new realms. I was browsing the site...

    Heroes of Might and Magic 5 -- $17.99 Preorder

    I read on their site a while back that when asked if it was going to be more like HOMM 3 or 4, they replied "It will be a mixture of both". Thought, from the videos of the gameplay I've seen, it looks a LOT like HOMM 3. I think it's going to be a great game :)
