    First NAS build?

    Okay good to know. I may go with 16GB since there are some pretty good prices out on ebay where the difference between 8 and 16 is negligible (~$15) but it's good to know that it isn't necessary. Thanks for all your help indsup I really really appreciate it. :) :)

    WD RED or WD RED Pro?

    Hello everyone, I am building a plex media server and would like 1-2 users to be able to stream BluRay quality video simultaneously. All videos are already in MP4 format and will be streamed at original quality so transcoding will not be necessary. Will the 5400 RPM drives be good enough for...

    First NAS build?

    Hello everyone, As this is my first time building a NAS I just want to ask if all my components look good and everything is compatible. I decided to not go with ECC ram due to cost. I plan on adding another 2 4TB WD Reds in the future for two sets of RAID 1 for 8TB of redundant storage. I...

    Clearance issue with Corsair 350D + H105 and optical drive.

    Yeahhh that's the truth ha. I think I'll just have to find a way to live without one when I don't feel like pulling out a usb one.. Not too big of a deal since they're not used much anymore. Thank you though

    Clearance issue with Corsair 350D + H105 and optical drive.

    Sadly no. The second bay bends the tubes a fairly sharp angle that I'm not entirely comfortable with. Also, the drive will not go in all the way due to the tubes. I just find it odd that CDs are only 4 5/8 inches in diameter but it seems like all optical drives are like 6 inches. I know they...

    Hello everyone, So I currently have a bit of a space issue. I have the Corsair 350D micro atx case. I also have the H105 installed in the top. I currently have it orientated so that the tubes come down by the optical drives. This is because I will be getting a 980ti hybrid and will be mounting...

    Gigabyte 980 ti G1 Gaming SLI in Micro ATX?

    Hello, So I currently have a Micro ATX board and a reference gtx 780. I am planning on switching to a difference board (this one) that is also Micro ATX. I also wish to run the Gigabyte 980 ti G1 Gaming card in SLI. Being such a thick card though, I am unsure if it will block the other PCI...

    Question regarding what components effect which aspect of gaming?

    Sound great! One last question ha... I am looking to really fill my game with tons of extra content. (IE custom made quest lines and things like that) Would these have an effect on performance even when I am not using them? Ha there are so many mods and player made expansions out there that I...

    Sorry about the links, they were just showing the usage of my computer components. I will give Mod Organizer a try and see how that works. Thanks for such speedy responses!
