Does your TV have an eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) HDMI port on it? If so connect your receiver to that HDMI port and connect the PC directly to your TV. It looks like your receiver supports eARC through a firmware update (2.70). The eARC port supports full 7.1 audio and Dolby Atmos. If...

I'll probably go for the 3080 Ti Founders Edition card as soon as it drops. I currently have a 1080 Ti Founders Edition and it has been a great card.

I went with a 10700k, but had the same dilemma as you. I see you already made a choice and can't blame you for the decision. There really isn't much difference between the two CPUs so I don't think you'll regret it. I'm sure you'll skip LGA1200 altogether.

All I know is demand is pretty high for 10th gen unlocked chips. I'm sure they'll sell out quickly.

Yeah I missed this one by like 5 seconds. Must have only had one in stock.

Madison Heights, MI (Detroit Metro) Microcenter has Intel i5 10600K in stock (x6) for $319.99. Edit: pretty sure these were gone the day after I posted this and are now OOS. Can lock thread.

I'm using a Razer Deathadder V2 mouse and CM Storm Novatouch keyboard (Topre)

There is an option in the VNC Client I'm using (RealVNC Viewer 5.2.3) to scale the display to the window size. This should do what you're wanting. No custom resolution necessary.

Completely agree here - I'm still on a 2600k (at 4.6Ghz, mind you) and it hasn't felt slow for the past 7 years I've had it.

Try Remote Desktop Connection Manager (RDCMan) it's a microsoft tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44989

I, personally, wouldn't host a private cloud outside of a private VPN. If you need to share this private cloud with family members - setup a VPN server / endpoint and give them a login to it so they will essentially be on your network. For one you can control DNS, IP addressing, etc. Keep them...

Yes, $180 is close to $160. I've seen a couple BF deals this week for $180-$190 after rebate. Granted taxes would be added to that depending on where you live, and you'd have to count on the rebate actually showing up, but when we're talking a $160 vs a $200 investment I think it's worth it to...

Taxes and Shipping and Handling killed this deal for me. That brings the total to close to $160 which is too close to retail price for a new card when they're on sale.

lol went OOS like 2 seconds after I went to the page

Got a 2600X for $170 on Amazon earlier today. This is not a good price.

So, a 5820K is better than what would be coming out in the next 6 months?

Current system specs: i7 2600k @4.3-4.4ghz Gigabyte G1 980 Ti 16GB Corsair Vengeance low profile RAM Asus P8Z68-v Pro Gen3 mobo 960 GB M500 SSD The mobo / CPU / RAM are almost 5 years old. That's what I'll be upgrading unless I decide to get one of those fancy m2 SSDs. What should I upgrade...

Are you sure you want Cherry MX blue? I'd recommend browns if you want some tactility. The noise will get annoying after a while, unless it's pleasing to you. I've never used a Das keyboard, but I hear they have had some QC issues of late. Some other brands to take a look at would be Ducky...

I haven't been able to get this to work. I bought an Nvidia shield with the additional remote and it seems to stop audio on one device when I plug the other in. How did you get it to work? In addition to all of your comments I'd like to add that Kodi can be installed on the Android TV...

Any of the following would work: Skyrim, MGSV, The Witcher 3, or Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Depends on what type of game you like to play.

This is another title on my list to play that I started but haven't put much time into. I'll definitely have to get around to playing it now, but Metal Gear Solid V: TPP has my interest currently. Thanks for the write up / review.

I'm just 37 here and I feel like the majority of people I play with are in their teens to mid-twenties. I played MMOs like Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft for years on end and quit completely just recently. I play PC games exclusively, but my kids play console games mostly. I've been...

You need a project and a purpose. Start with modifying code projects already built and tweak them just to see how things work or simply study them to see how they were coded. Granted, a lot of it is going to be very confusing without a decent understanding of C++ basics. I'd recommend a college...

They make it sound like Cherry has never made a keyboard before. They have and still make many keyboards. While this looks interesting, I don't think I'd pay over $200 for lower latency as I'm not an uber gamer. Clearly not marketed toward the average user.

I have owned several Asus motherboards over the years. From back in the Celeron 300 sandwich days to my current Z68 based board (in need of upgrade please pick me!!). I've owned about a dozen Asus boards over the past 20 years, and they're my go-to brand for any new build.

If price is truly no object go with a custom Korean keyboard (KMAC, LZ, Duck, etc.) and a nice set of GMK/cherry doubleshots. You'd have to buy one second hand or buy a kit to put it together yourself, but they're arguably the best keyboard money can buy. If you're only interested in boards...

Leopold does make 87key Topre boards. The Realforce boards sold on Elitekeyboards site are manufactured by Leopold. I own a Topre Realforce 87uw (white/beige version) in the 55 gram uniform weighted model. It's by far my favorite keyboard, and I also own a Filco TKL (MX Brown), HHKB Pro 2 and a...

My current keyboards: HHKB Pro 2 Dk grey with White/grey caps Realforce 87UW with lavender wasd CM QFR MX blue with white PBT aftermarket caps Filco MJ2 TKL w/ MX browns and WoB ABS doubleshots

Depends on how large the company is. There is the HP OpenView line of products: Network Node Manager i, and Operations Manager, and there is also OpNet, IBM's ITM suite, and many others. We use HP NNMi and Operations Manager for UNIX as well as a mix of OpNet for Application Performance...

Get the portable version of AHK. No "installation" necessary. Put it in your documents folder and place it in startup or launch it to use it when you need it. I'm all for using the tools you have at your disposal without having to install additional software, but I also believe in using the...

Having recently switched to Windows 8, I'd recommend it. I was using Win 7 Pro x64 prior and I think it's a great improvement. I don't miss the Start menu at all. I rarely used it to begin with, but then again I use my desktop a lot (messy). Edit: There was one slight concern with GPU...

If you don't need the macro keys or don't use them then I'd suggest getting something like a Rosewill RK-9100 or Ducky Zero Shine (if you're into backlights). If you don't care about backlights then try for the Monoprice Mechanical Keyboard The backlit keyboards are a little more expensive...

That's pretty confusing how they're doing the YOTS keyboard ordering. Apparently they're not fulfilling pre-orders for it. It's first come first serve. I suppose that's only fair. I'm looking forward to the Ducky Shine 3 - I think I have narrowed it down to this keyboard for my next board...

Yeah, I hate gamer oriented cases. I like the Corsair obsidian and carbide line the best. Understated and simple but full of features.

Same, I'm using a QFR as my main keyboard currently, but I'm waiting for the Corsair Vengeance K70 with Blues to come out. There are so many other keyboards that are super nice though. The Ducky Year of the Snake and the Shine 3 look pretty sweet.

I can understand that I suppose. To be honest, what you're doing sounds really fun. I wish I had the motivation to do it to my own house, but I don't. :/

+1 for foobar 2000. iTunes (for Windows) is the worst. For video it will either be XBMC/Plex or VLC.

+1 to anything O'Reilly. Learning Linux is pretty good. I'm not sure what edition they're up to now, but even the first edition should be good enough to get your feet wet. If you REALLY want to learn it and immerse yourself try www.linuxfromscratch.org

I think the gunmetal grey looks pretty nice, but that's just me. I have black everything else as well. I'm still interested in getting the K70 with blues as I can't compromise on switch much. I want to give Browns a try, but I'm afraid I'll miss my clicky!!

Any reason why you're not just going wireless? Just curious. Yeah, gigabit is fun, but for most purposes (yes, even 1080p streaming) wireless is fine as long as you get some high quality wireless APs (think Cisco Aironet). You could save yourself a lot of dough on cables (and work!!). Guess I...
