    [SOLVED] Remote monitor, keyboard and USB port

    Hey Lutfij, thank you for your feedback! Currency is Euro actually, but you can understand the ballpark of it :) Distance living room to attic is about 30 meters max, so I hope this could be feasible? I see some KVM switches but or they are extremely cheap or very expensive, and all work via...

    Question Selling my expensive threadripper - am I crazy?

    Dear all, I've been running a threadripper 1950x from the release date back in 2017. I bought it because at the time I was doing a lot of 3Ds max renders which depended heavily on CPU. Right now my priorities lie at some light 3D, Photoshop, Illustrator, gaming! For this reason threadripper...

    1920X vs i9 7900X - Not such an obvious choice after all?

    Hey Jay, thanks for your detailed advice. And thanks for steering me away from the ryzen 1700...it was on my list because of the bang/buck ratio, but having to overclock a cpu when using it professionally did already made some alarms sound in my head ;-) So the 1920x vs 7900....is still a tough...

    1920X vs i9 7900X - Not such an obvious choice after all?

    Hello everyone. I'm building a new system and trying to get the most out of my buck. I've inspected pretty much every CPU available, but given that I go very High-end components/budget, the Threadripper 1920x versus the i9-7900X isn't such an obvious choice to me as I keep on reading. The Ryzen...

    Xeon 5650 + R9 270X 2gb problems

    Dear all, some time ago I was ready to buy a new PC, but found out i could mount a 6-core xeon in my motherboard and be up to modern standards again. I also had to replace my GPU and quickly chose a R9 270x 2gb. Now, in certain games I'm having stuttering issues, like for example the unreal...
