I have an ASUS ROG Strix and I had overheating issues, (more than likely die to the dust I removed.) Since removal of said dust from the fans, the videoboard peaks at 89c on Witcher 3. IS that bad or still within reasonable temps? its non gaming temps range from low 40's to high 40's.

while the virtual box would be decent for practice, I was wanting to have a physical box. I will look into what you are talking about getting an older one. It doesnt have to be new or high end.

You are right htat is true while I am working on making the actual RAID server I can do that. However I also want to learn to manage a actual raid server, which I cannot do on my current machine as those harddrives are in use by the current machine (at least I think that is the case.) The other...

Linux for the OS. The only extra PC I have sitting around is a Pentium 4 LOL. This is as much about learning how to manage the server as it is a hobby.

How much would it cost to make a RAID server on the cheap as a hobby project? I do not need a high end one server just one that works decently enough to backup data and have reasonable redundancy. Basically I am wanting to make this to learn how to manage a server as well as have it be useful...

I currently have this modem/router https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825124008 I used it mostly for streaming around the house and for my computer I plugged in directly. Unfortunatly I learned how inadequate it was when I recently got a roomate and had to move to another...

Well this is not my machine I can ask my friend to get the model number. I thought that the policy would be generic for all machines. I will ask the owner for the model number. Stuff like this is why I build my machines like the one in my stats.

I am not wanting an illegal copy of windows.... The computer has windows 7 32 bit OEM. The computer is a HP desktop We want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 Bit The question is since the original was 32 bit and OEM (came from manufacturer) can we purchase an upgrade? Do we have to purchase...
