Hello all, I have recently decided to build a TrueNAS server (for home use) and have been currently working on making the most of its capabilities such as: -Storing media -Creating a NAS game library drive(iscsi) -PLEX Server -Cloud Server (outside my local network) My current hardware I have...

Hello all, Got an interesting power supply on my hands. The Rosewill Photon 1200. It has 3 12-pin VGA inputs as opposed to the normal 8 pin. I read that 288 watts is the normal max wattage to use for 8->8 pin VGA cables from what I read here. However, with the unique 12 pin cables.. I was...

I just bought a used HPC card off ebay for a decent price. Only problem is it doesn't come with a shroud and is completely passive. Pictures: Any recommendations for cooling this properly in a non-server case would be much appreciated. I am sure I will have to duct it to a fan in some...

Newegg sale. Promo code: 93XQR56 Best price I've seen. Very tempting. Not sure if these are SMR or PMR. That's $16.24/TB!

Looking to buy my first projector and looking for some recommendations on what number of lumens I should be shopping for. The projector would predominately be used for indoor home use, however I would like to use it in a fully lit room as well. I'm trying to avoid a washed out image that a lit...

1000 Watts of SFX-L goodness now on sale from Amazon @ ~$252 Link Also: 750 Watt SFX: Link

Just stumbled upon this today. Cooler master has released a true SFX sized 850 Watt beast of a PSU. Largest available of its size. (Perfect for the RTX 3090 & AMD 6900XT?) Link Only found it from a reseller (~$300) but you can buy it now. I know a lot of people prefer SFX sized PSUs for cases...

So I can only confirm this anecdotally, but today I heard my PC getting loud only to realize that the culprit was the Epic Games launcher. (Usage verified in HWinfo64 and task manager) The abnormal thing was I was updating my graphics driver simultaneously. Not sure if that had anything to do...

Link Promo Code: EMCGDDR42

New products announced for end of year release. PSUs: 1000 Watt SFX-L 750 Watt SFX 1650 Watt ATX (small) Entry Level RGB ATX PSUs Cases/Coolers/Accessories

Link Promo: 93XPT75 Crazy to see them even be marketing 16TB external drives like this already at such discount.

Newegg High capacity 64gb (32x2) 3200mhz DDR4 on sale for $224.99. (Timings are 16-18-18 which are the best available so far at this capacity) Best price I've seen for these. Would allow you to store up to 256gb of DDR4 on a threadripper 8 dimm system, 128gb on a mainstream 4 dimm system, or...

I was curious if any others were anticipating Seagate's MACH.2 launch? SSDs may be all the rage, but there's something [H]ard about all those moving parts. (Probably for the same reasons I get excited over old vacuum tube gear). It sounds as though they are pretty focused on releasing these...

I have historically been a major fan of large open world games and modding them to oblivion with large 2k-4k-8k texture files. As a result I have found load times to be the biggest thorn in my side when playing such games as Skyrim. I am currently toying with the idea of building a new system...

Newegg Rebates suck, but $120 for an RX 570 + 2 games is a value I scarcely think we shall see beat for quite some time.

Currently $200 on Newegg with promo code: EMCTWUE22 Link That's 10 cents per gig folks.

Very low price as far as AM4 ITX boards go. With the $20 rebate. Newegg Link Pretty decent board. Would be nice for a 7nm CPU!

Asrock 8gb RX 590 Promo code: EMCTVUV73

The 2400G can be had for $105 when you bundle it with any compatible motherboard at microcenter. (Link) Pretty darn good price for a quad core with SMT considering you can also pick up some cheap B350/B450 motherboards to pair with it. (Or the option of trying cheaper open box motherboards)

The MSI Air Boost Vega 64 is $379.99 after a $30 rebate. Newegg link. Not too shabby. Vega is rumored to have recently ceased production. So it is possible we might see lower prices than these as they try to clear the channel for newer product releases. Not too bad either way considering Vega...

Objective: Create a simple and easy to use Solitaire gaming box for an elderly family member. My Preferences: 1. DIY or Prebuilt would be fine (cheaper is better) 2. I want to avoid clunky interfaces like windows. If I can, I would make it a one click solution. 3. I want the OS to be basicly...

Arguable value, but the AIO variant is now much more affordable than it used to be. Newegg Link w/ 3 free games Ballpark RTX 2070 performance (when you OC and opt to increase power limits on the Vega 64) If you are team AMD it would probably be wise to wait for 7nm. Still a neat card for...

Today I wondered why aren't there any open backed active noise canceling headphones? Is it possible? Are there any I am not aware of? I know it may seem counterintuitive, but there are certainly sound advantages to open designs which are difficult if impossible to replicate within a closed...

Newegg Lowest I've seen Vega new. 3 free games are The Division 2, Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil 2.

Newegg Game deals are back. PowerColor RX570 4gb $140 after $20 rebate. These cards only come with 2 games, but you still have the selection of 3 of the ones being offered on AMD's higher end cards. Games (pick 2): Devil May Cry 5, The Division 2, Resident Evil 2

Newegg The deal here is the 3 bundled games The Division 2, Devil May Cry 5, and Resident Evil 2. If you need a cheaper Vega 64, I believe sapphire has a version on Newegg's ebay store for $400. I messaged Newegg on Ebay and they said their cards sold there will not come with the free games...

Newegg (after $20 rebate) Early holidays shopping anyone? The 3 games really make the deal. I realize my math here may be subjective, but you are getting ~$140 of games + a solid graphics card for $140 friggen bucks.

Microcenter has a few good deals going. $30 bundle discount requires purchase of compatible motherboard. 2600 $120/w bundle 1600 $100/w bundle 1700X $150/w bundle Not bad for 6 and 8 core CPUs with SMT.

Newegg (also on their ebay store) This is essentially 2 RX580 GPUs with 16gb of VRAM each for a whopping 32gb combined. Probably not great for gaming as I've heard OC utilities do not work with it (gaming drivers do work for it though) Also, you can currently get a Vega 64 card for $455 so...

Newegg Best price I've found for a new Vega 64. The free games are back. Not bad.

Newegg This is the lowest I've seen new vega 56 cards without need for rebate. Powercolor also has a card for $370 after $30 rebate too. Its a really neat card for those interested. Cheaper than the lowest GTX 1070 cards on Newegg right now so definitely a good buy for those in the market. I...

Link Kind of great deal if you need those games. Star Control Origins is a pretty sweet game actually for those who have not heard of it. You could almost resell the card and keep the games at this price.

Official Website Space Western prequel to Rebel Galaxy. Release date: Q1 2019 Platforms: PC, PS4, Switch Expected Price: $30 Developer: Double Damage Games 1 Hour of Gameplay (no story spoilers) 16 Full Minutes of Gamespot PAX Gameplay: Features: -Six degrees of freedom space combat and...

Pretty good value laptop here. -2500U 8 thread Ryzen APU -256gb SSD -8gb DDR4 (2x4) -1080p screen -DVD drive Battery looks like it will suck though since it is just a 2-cell 35wh. Not sure of the laptop screen quality either, at least it is 1080p. Newegg Link

Hi all, What scores are ya'll getting in the Cinebench R15 Single Threaded test on your overclocked 5960X CPUs? (Particularly somewhere between 4.3ghz and 4.6ghz+) I'm curious how they compare to my 6800k which doesn't clock well past 4.1ghz. Also, I am curious how they line up against Ryzen...

Link MSI 4GB Low Profile RX 560 ($125 before rebate) TLDR: low tier GPU prices finally coming down, limited to 75 watts PCIe power so could be power limited for OCing While high end cards have been going down in price as of late, lower end cards have been holding their inflated prices. For...

Pretty good deal this. Everywhere else has this laptop priced at $600. The 2500U is a 4 core, 8 thread part that is quite special. The gem here though is its graphics capability. Microcenter only it seems, Link

Disclaimer: I'm not 100% sure regarding this deals compatibility with other systems. My gut says yes, but I am not familiar with using sodimm memory or the website CDW. Link 1x8gb 2400mhz DDR4 for $38. Seems like an unreal deal. Just putting it out there for ya'll since I can't not post about it!

Model: ASUS LED 15.6" 14MS 700:1 USB (BSTK) Link "B-Stock" Seemed like a pretty good price for a portable IPS 1080p monitor. Would work well for a secondary laptop display or with a portable ITX system. I believe there would be shipping on top, but I'm not sure.

(dead for now) -------- Just saw this pop up. If you are in need of some good (large) floorstanding speakers these are currently a great value at $399 each. Normally the pair costs $2000 while this deal shaves off $1200. They go on sale for $500 each a few times a year. They are sold direct...
