  1. The amount of hard drives I have changes all the time, I currently have 3, but soon I want to have 1 or 0 in my system. I currently have 3 4TB drives, and 2 3TB drives, I'm thinking of compacting my data to it fits onto 7TB, and do a RAID 1 setup with a NAS, and use the leftover 4TB for my PC.
  2. This is probably your exact idea, but this is what I'm thinking. Get a big cardboard box, big enough to cover your system. Get two ducts, and cut two holes into your box, one hole for each. Make one duct the intake, and the other the outtake. Likely best to put the intake at the bottom, and the outtake at the top. You would likely want a few big fans to encourage the air to move around.
  3. I'm in the very early stages of planning for a SFF build, all I know is that I want to get a Node 202, and do the water cooling mod.
  4. It think it would be cheaper and better to get a used flagship and unlock the bootloader. Even if you want something high end, phone efficiency is plateauing, so you wouldn't miss much getting a used SD855 phone. When the used flagship breaks, carefully replace the stuffs in it. If you can work on laptops and not break stuff, you can work on a phone too.
  5. I have downgraded to the Linksys E3200 because I like Tomato, it's smaller, and it uses less power. I don't have much use for 802.11ac, so I'm fine with it.
  6. I know it's possible to have the full post content be in notification emails for Invision based boards. It's pretty useful when reading messages, as I can just read the emails I get instead of going to the forum, finding the oldest unread message, then reading.
  7. Something I thought about was mining during a downturn might be better, you would lose money, but you would make more crypto, which would benefit you next upturn.
  8. Taken from archive.org. I didn't bother filling out my profile there I guess.
  9. I intend to get a 2080 Ti when they get cheap, probably after 4000 series launch, but I have too much stuff I want to buy and I dunno what to do.
  10. Yeah, I've been using custom firmwares since my second router. All my routers have come from thrift stores, so I'm usually a bit behind the latest tech. My first router was some old Cradlepoint thing, sadly it got no custom firmwares and was 2.4g only. I then upgraded to a Linksys E3000, which I fooled around with firmwares on, and discovered that I like Tomato the best. Later on I got some Netgear thing with similar capabilities as a range extension for the network. A few years later, a slight upgrade to the Linksys E3200, which didn't do much, I think I like the E3000 better just for the better looking design. And finally, we get to my WRT1900AC v2, which unfortunately doesn't have any Tomato based firmwares. Also I have a couple of access points and routers that I got from a friend sitting in a box, not sure when I'll try fooling around with them though.
  11. Not that easy, you need to get a PSU that takes the 12v (Forgot that laptops actually take 19v in) in and converts it to all the other voltages. The only one that comes to mind is the picopsu, but I know there was more and they could deliver more power. It's been years since I've looked at any of this.
  12. Oh, I was on mobile, and I didn't want to use my speaker to watch the vid, so I just tried what seemed obvious, which was Rufus and the image. Tomorrow I can try MATS. (I made the USB with the laptop, without any internet because I don't have drivers on it.)
  13. I wanna say I had some wack config that I decided to try P95 with, but it almost instantly got above 90C so I quickly shut it down. Other than that, I haven't tried much else. I'm sleepy, and I'm not sure when I'll feel like trying something else with it.
  14. Well, in the system, I'm using an old xPower 1080, but I've also tested it with a Rosewill Hive 750w and got the same thing.
  15. 4.6 at 1.190v is stable, 4.6 at 1.250v causes system to power off, then back on. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/669416006799720469/983123834100129863/VID_20220605_163000.mp4
  16. I don't think there is one for NotebookTalk, but there is an old Notebook Review server. If you're interested, I can try to find the invite.
  17. None of my computers are really impressive. My main PC is in a poor place for taking photos, and I'm too lazy to move it somewhere better. Everything else is kinda mid. Need more 'puter parts (Specifically GPUs) to make my older systems presentable. Edit 1: I'll take a pic of my X58 rig I guess, give me a bit. Edit 2:
  18. I delidded a 4790K and liquid metaled it, only to have it crash if I go over some sort of wattage limit. Not sure why, but I would assume it's just my board being junk. Haswell is kinda boring to me anyways. I haven't saved any benchmarks, and I'm too lazy to install Windows just to get a CB number.
  19. This is probably gonna be wimpy compared to your setups, but this is what I have. ISP: AT&T, 20Mbps down, 1Mbps up (America moment) Modem: AT&T thing, not sure what the model is. Router: Linksys WRT1900AC v2 (Running OpenWRT) Switch: None I might get 10G network cards and a 10G switch for a future NAS, but currently I have no reason to upgrade my networking, other than maybe getting a more power efficient router that runs my preferred router software, Tomato.
  20. I think the best drivers, at least for Windows 7/8 are 431.36 or 441.66. Newer drivers are only really useful for DXVK and whatever else.
  21. I use three monitors, Acer CB271HU, Viotek GNV27DB, and Acer G247HL. I like having so much screen space for stuff, I usually have YouTube playing on the G247HL, but I sometimes use it for other stuffs. On my Viotek GNV27DB, I can be browsing Discord, managing files, browsing the web, gaming, using a VM, etc. On my Acer CB271HU, I might be consuming proper content due to the better color accuracy of the display, or doing something that I would do on my main display if my main display already has stuff open.
