Thanks. I'm looking up backblaze and specific models that are compatible with the Synology rack. Hm, maybe I'm doing this wrong. We were thinking to use the NAS as a means to transfer data too (between building wings and offices), but mainly wanted to have a server volume to archive finished...

I agree, the PSU is a little shitty, if not terrible for the price. (Depending on your ambitions the hard wiring can be a pain in the a** if you want a very neat and clean interior layout. Especially since the H500 is practically see-through) Go for a RM 750x or similar. It's price is...

Hi people! I'm outfitting a NAS rack for reliable storage of backups of audio data for my company and I'm looking for experience with specific HDD models. Synology R814 6TB in RAID1 HDD SATA I'm looking for a good value product with 3-5 years of guarantee within the budget of ~ 500€ total...

No worries, glad to be of help! You should be VERY fine to start with video editing in the latest CS of Adobe (Premiere Pro / After Effects) with you existing build. I run an i7-6700K and 16GB of fast RAM and it is going very smoothly for basic tasks. Unless you are planning to work with a lot...

Anyone, pleeease? XD

It all depends on your habits. Getting an (inferior) MacBook instead of your PC only makes sense, if you really need the mobility or ecosystem or can't work at home properly. All said applications should run better on a decent gaming PC. Video editing depends on RAM and CPU mostly. But what...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a usedor refurbished Laptop / convertible for typing my diploma thesis in Architecture. I need: Budget is tiny (I would like to spend < 350€) for the sake of comparability let's go with 450€ and hope to find a good deal. Size: I'll be typing a lot so between 13"...

Update: Went with the G.Skill TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3000 and I'm VERY content. The only old part I'm currently using is the GPU (ATI FirePro V4800) and the PC is outperforming my personal expectations. It even runs Star Citizen alpha 2.6 relatively ok in FHD (low FPS and not an...

True, I checked too now that you mentioned it :/ Had to turn him down. It means I'll just have to order a kit. I think I'll go with the G.Skill TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3000. I can double that later without issues and it's max. ~30€ of difference to other kits in that price segment...

Don't worry about the SLI-tip. It'll limit my range of decisions, which is a good thing in that case ^^ I need to get my research up to date for GPUs, but as far as I know, the Cuda technology is highly sought after in the 3d creation community, so Nvidia might still be the better choice. (Very...

Oh yeah and sorry - my bad! Those 250GB were just a c+p-typo. Most of the stuff has been delivered until today, naturally I ordered the SL308 with 500GB of capacity: For that special Everyday-Decadent-Roman-Emperor-Comfort :D I also picked up CPU, MoBo and received the Cooler and the PSU last...

Thanks to your constructive help, amongst others :) Additionally if you order from here, the availability and delivery times are horriffic for some products. Even Amazon would only 'start' shipping Nov. 28th. -.- Picking up stuff locally adds an average 5-15% to the total price. What a sad...

Thanks again for the input. I made up my mind in the last couple of days and here's the current version of the build: Case: Cooler Master Elite 332 (mid tower) CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 74.3 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty...

Eventhough I have been googling like mad, I wasn't able to find a convincing answer for the case. Anyone, please? :D

Note: The exact same happens with a different PSU that I know is working. My money's on the MoBo (literally) with a broken GPU PCIe slot, am I somewhere close? Anything else I should try?
