    Question PC won’t display/boot and motherboard shows white light ?

    I agree. A repaste might lower the temps but they're also caused by the utilization. A newer card wouldn't struggle as much with modern Games as mentioned in the previous thread.

    Question Hello, question about installing a wifi/bluetooth adapter via the PCI slot

    Buying an adapter card , so you can use m.2 cards in an PCI e slot, might be more expensive than a WiFi Card that fits directly into a PCI e Slot . But there is such cards with several slots. You could add another hard Drive ( M.2 SSD ) if you like . They don't cost a lot more, Iirc.

    Discussion What's your favourite video game you've been playing?

    I played a lot of just cause 3. Its alright. The gameplay is a bit repetitive. But thats partially my fault.I would suggest following the main story, especially in the beginning. I also played Sherlock Holmes: Crime and punishment. This game has good stories but some of the clues are awfully...

    Question Computer not booting but hardware is seemingly fine

    The timeline ist a bit confusing. First you had issues weeks ago, yesterday it stopped booting completely unless you had just reset the BIOS via CMOS, correct? Please name your current BIOS version, when you flashed it and wether it really is the latest. And please edit your First Post. It...

    Discussion Why does no one here mention "Pre-owned" ?

    So you need a viewfinder, that is not a screen? How many cameras have both?Hundreds maybe? That screen has more benefits than you think. Screens don't suck. If i take of my glasses to manage to look through a tiny rectangular hole instead of a small screen, i realize that i never would have had...

    Question Mini PC as a Mediacenter/NAS?

    Yes, i probably will use DietPi. I had no problems with OMV on a PI4 B. But i would have to use wireguard to access it from outside. And wireguard doesn't work on my phone. 😕

    Question Mini PC as a Mediacenter/NAS?

    This sounds alright : - It has enough SATA Ports and enough space for the hard drives - I could use the I5 6400 and the RAM - My bluray disc drive would fit ( not absolutely necessary, but nice to have ) - It´s cheap Acer Veriton X2640G for 44,79

    Question Mini PC as a Mediacenter/NAS?

    Yes, i understand that OMV is not my only option. I might run Docker and Plex Media Server with it. VM is not something i want to do with it. As i said: And the reason for that is the amount of electricity my current PC uses ( Ryzen 5, GTX 1060 and so on). I don't want to let it run for weeks...

    Question Mini PC as a Mediacenter/NAS?

    I will add some details: I will try a dual boot configuration with Open Media Vault and Kodi or something similar. OMV is for hosting files and it also has other capabilities Kodi will be used for streaming and such when i'm at home What i should have mentioned earlier: The NAS will not be...

    Question Mini PC as a Mediacenter/NAS?

    Why not? There is a lot of prebuilts with missing parts ( CPU, RAM, hard Drives ) on eBay and other Marketplaces. I am just trying to bring down the cost. I would buy a barebones mashine and add the parts, that i already have. I am looking for something like this Dell PC (6th gen Intel) Or...
