    WTB: Wifi AP

    Well, since my current wifi AP crapped the bed last night, I am in need of a replacement. Doesn't need to have all the latest and greatest standards as it will be mostly used for a few security cameras, a bunch of smart devices (such as light switches), and a couple phones. As I don't need...

    WTB: Cheap ATX PSU (low wattage ok, just want a good unit)

    WTB: ATX PSU with 80mm exhaust

    Looking for a replacement PSU for a (just tonite) dead Enermax PSU. No real power requirements as this is a Pfsense router with lower power components. I'd prefer something not super old. The only real requirement is that is utilizes an 80mm cooling solution as the 2u rack case this system is...

    Looking for PSU suggestion: PSU with front/rear intake/exhaust only need apply

    So long story short, I just had an Enermax PSU take a dump on me in my Pfsense 2u box. Heard a "zap", smelt the blue smoke, and unit dead. Internet down, boo. Luckily the PSU death didn't take any other components with it. I dropped in an old PC Power & Cooling 470 unit as a temp replacement to...

    Displayport Question

    Long story short: I have two slightly older Dell (U2410f) monitors and when hooked up to a Displayport on my 1070ti, whenever I shut one monitor off, it detects it as being gone and shifts all my icons, windows, etc to the main monitor. This is annoying as all hell. What I want to know is what...

    Looking for aftermarket cooling options for PNY 1070ti

    So I recently picked up a PNY 1070ti from a fellow member here because the price was right and it provided a nice bump over my previous card. After running some benches on it, performance is as to be expected but I'd like to drop the temps on it a bit. Under benchmark/load, it'll settle in...

    So yesterday I ordered a shiny new Ryzen 7 2700x with an expected in stock date of the 28th or 29th (I don't remember which) and a delivery date of Monday December 30th.

    WTT: Corsair H115i Platinum RGB for H150i Pro RGB

    I have a less than 6 month old H115i Platinum RGB with the RGB ML fans currently and it works wonderfully. It keeps my 6 core 1650 v2 OC'd to 4.2ghz nice and chilly. However, my current case would look best with a triple 120mm (360mm) AIO so I am offering up my 280mm with fans for a 360mm RGB...

    Is there such a thing as an add in RGB (Asus Aura?) card?

    Long story short, my current system (specs in sig, X79 based system) doesn't have an RGB header on the motherboard as it came out before the RGB train took off at full steam. That being said, I've rebuilt (changed case, fans, etc) my system in such a way that I'm focusing on aesthetics this time...

    Question for those with the Lian Li 011 Dynamic

    My question concerns fans at the bottom of the case. I have read online that installing fans in the bottom of the case adds excessive noise.
