Hey guys/gals, I recently replaced my 1080p 27" triple monitor setup with a 4K 32" 60Hz curved triple monitor setup. The monitors have 3 video inputs (2 x HDMI & 1 DP). I have a surplus of Dell SFF XE3 PCs. I currently have 3 of these connected to the monitors (Work/Personal/Plex). PC Specs...

[Moderator note: moving thread from Windows 10 to Storage. More applicable.] Hey guys, My Plex server is a Windows SFF PC. In it is a SAS HBA card. SAS card has a mini-SAS SFF-8087 to (4) SFF-8482 breakout cable. This cable connects to an external hard drive cage where I have 2 14TB drives...

I have a surplus of Dell XE3 SFF PCs. They come with an R5 430 card. My daughter plays Genshin Impact and apparently this PC can't handle it. The R5 430 card takes the only PCI-E 16X slot on the MB. I have a free PCI-E X1 slot. If I use a riser adapter card with another R5 430 card, will...

I'm getting ready to purchase this Dell H310 SAS HBA Controller along with this Mini SAS 36 Pin SFF-8087 to 4x SAS/SFF-8482 with 1 Power HDD Cable. I recently got my hands on a SAS drive (very cheap) that I'd like to install internally into my dedicated Plex PC server. Surprisingly I don't...

Good day folks, I'm itching to get a 4K display. I'm currently running 3 1080p monitors via my laptop. One of my monitors is connected to the laptop via HDMI, the other 2 are connected to a USB 3.0 video adapter via HDMI & DVI. Unfortunately, my laptop doesn't output 4K. I'm thinking of...

Hey guys, So, my desktop PC died yesterday. I checked the power supply by pulling it out, connecting two ends of a paper clip to the green and black wire, with the PS connected to just two fans. The power supply turned on and so did the fans. However, the main large 120mm fan's blade would...

Didn't I could do that. Will start looking into it. Thanks.

Good day folks, Looking for advice on graphic card solutions. I currently have 2 X1650XT PCIE cards in my system. They run a triple monitor setup plus a projector. All hooked up via DVI, as each card is a dual DVI card. One of the card's fan stopped working recently. It looks and sounds...

Good day folks, I want to add more RAM. I currently have 2GB of Corsair DDR3 1333 dual channel on a Asus P5K3 Deluxe WIFI mobo. My question; Will triple channel RAM work on my mobo? Is it like backward compatible? I'm running Vista 32bit. I understand that Vista 32bit can't see more than...

So sorry. I should've clarified. Those prices are for three monitors. Also, I didn't crossfire the cards myself, it came like that. I live in the US. The prices you see are mainly from eBay and NewEgg.

Hey Guys/Gals, I'm shopping for a triple monitor setup and was wondering if I could get your opinions. I recently bought a pretty nice PC that has two ATI Radeon X1650XT 512MB video cards setup via Crossfire. Each card had two DVI outputs. I'll use three for the triple monitor setup and the...
