I'm about to click the old checkout button but I thought I would get some input first. This will serve as a dedicated Plex server with no more than two simultaneous HD (720/1080p) streams (videos will be stored on an external HD). Size and appearance were determining factors besides...

The 32bit was the only drive when I added the 64bit drive. Interesting that there is a potential it could still write boot files to another drive. I guess the original 0 dive keeps a high priority even though a fresh OS is installed on another drive. So no way around this without...

I can't believe I have to ask for help on this but I must be missing something. I have Windows 7 32 bit installed on one hard drive and Windows 7 64 bit installed on another hard drive. On the MB, 32 bit is in SATA position 0 and 64 bit is in position 1. I want to remove the HD with 32bit but...

Thanks for the information! I'm almost exclusively running multiple 720-1080p video streams, so size can vary. My daily use machine has: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 R5 AMD FX-83208 8 Core Black Edition Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 It does well to transcode 1-2 streams but I'm looking at...

I'm starting to put together a micro atx dedicated Plex server. I'm torn between two i7s...

I built a system a few years ago and it's been a great PC. I am currently using it day to day and it also serves as my PLEX server. I have two HD security cams and I record from them with Sighthound. The cams and sighthound currently run off a newer laptop. However, even though that's all I...

Hey everyone, I am looking to replace a burnt out power supply on a Dell Dimension E521. The current PS is a 305w H305n-00. Specs: AC Input 100 - 12V~/ 9A, 200-240v~/ 4.5A (50-60Hz) DC Output +5V / 22A, +3.3V /17A, +12VA /18A,+12VB/18A +5Vfp /2A, -12V /1A +5v AND +3.3V SHALL NOT EXCEED...

Well I have what I have. The only difference, besides the voltage, is Crucial has 9 Cas Latency and OCZ has 7.

Monox, See I did learn something. The manufacturers would like you to believe otherwise about dual and triple channel! Anyway, when I had the OCZ in I did not happen to look at whether it showed 1333 or not. I was focused on the fact that it kept the auto settings at 1.5v I tried a lot of...
