    Google is giving 25% off on the Pixel C

    I have to agree with you. I'm thoroughly impressed with the Pixel C. Really don't understand all the negative reviews and press about the device. With each update it seems to get better. Have not updated to Android N really don't feel the need to at this time. I personally prefer the size of the...

    Google is giving 25% off on the Pixel C

    I too just picked one up. As soon as it fired it up it went though a bunch of updates and has been great so far. Would have preferred it to be a little lighter. Also the aluminum back is slippery so I purchased a cheap case. I really like this tablet feels as though the negative reviews were...

    Issues with not turning new rotors.

    You are incorrect. There is a reason why Subaru and other manufacturers require on car lathes. You may however be correct about the rear brakes being warped. Each car line is serviced differently. For example I do a lot of Subaru and Audi work. Hint, hint. On the Subaru line we turn rotors on...

    Issues with not turning new rotors.

    Have them turned on the car by a shop that has a pro cut on the car lathe. http://www.procutusa.com/ Then make sure the wheels are properly torqued.

    Windows Home Server or ?

    Currently I have two WHS boxes set up. One at work and one at home. I really like the interface and how it can perform a complete restore on a new drive for a client computer. Since I have some time on my hands I was considering building something new. At this point I am leaning toward Microsoft...

    Which one to keep

    I'd also leave the 750 with the gaming machine. That way someone could easily update the gaming machine in the future. In addition you don't need much power to run a server such as yours.

    Best PSU for my setup?

    That would be a good choice. I would suggest you try this first with your exact system specs. http://powersupplycalculator.net/ Also I've found these to be less expensive on Amazon. In addition the customer service is better.

    840 PRO or 850 PRO 512GB?

    I actually have a 680I Asus Striker Extreme board still running at home with Windows XP. With the Raptor drive it has always been fairly responsive. To this day is still works very well. One day when I'm bored I may toss in an SSD and Windows Seven and see how it performs.

    Thinking of building a NAS just like this

    Currently I run a WHS for my backups. I've thought of trying your idea of FreeNas. Why not go with something like this to start with. For the price it seems as a good start. http://www.amazon.com/ThinkServer-70...eywords=server

    Honestly I've not been using Newegg that much recently. Normally I can find the same product for the same price or less on Amazon. In this case that is a good price. However, I have found the customer service, warranty and returns are much easier with Amazon. Just be sure to confirm that the...

    New PSU recommendations

    Personally I prefer SeaSonic also. The X-850 gets my vote. On a second note I don't game as much as I did in the past. However, personally I prefer to have one high end GPU than SLI.

    840 PRO or 850 PRO 512GB?

    Thank you for the help. Most likely I will purchase the 850 PRO. Just because it's a newer model. It will be nice when M.2 is standard on motherboards. The speed will of course be welcomed however, it will make for a cleaner looking system. The less cables the better as far as I'm concerned.

    The code you have is for the rear oxygen sensor. Have you replaced this sensor? Also do a Google search for Honda TSB 99-029. This TSB is for a common wiring issue these have though normally you will have additional codes stored and a failed fuse. Hope this helps.
