Anyone?

I was checking on HD prices and they seem high lately. So I am going to use 4 identical 1TB Seagate drives I have for the time being. Details in order of importance: - MKV Streaming to PS3 (Currently using PS3 Media Server) - Speed/Quality - 2-4 Bays - $200-500ish - Ability to remotely...

A friend of mine just gave me this motherboard and CPU that have never even been opened. He won them at a tech conference. I know nothing of AMD products but since it was free I did not refuse. I know these two items are a few years old is it worth it to put a cheap system together around...

I had not thought of a splitter before but that might work. At this point, I am not willing to throw much more money on the problem but might use the evga upgrade program when the 580's are released if they enable bitstreaming. Still, I would need two connections as my receiver has video lag...

Nope, doing that disables bitstreaming. :(

I thought sine wave or simulated sine wave was necessary for a PSU with active pfc? As for the wattage I would think I need over 1kw to run this rig with the LCD. Running Furmark on my Cyberpower 1285 brings it up to 750 (it's limit) without the TV. I quickly shut it off so not to damage anything.

Yup

Haha 1TB drives are in RAID 10 so only 2TB total. The other two drives are hot swap to take to work occasionally.

Currently, I have a Cyberpower 1285 which runs my rig fine, so long as it isn't under high load. That in mind, I was going to get another UPS with a higher VA/Watt rating but am overwhelmed by all the choices and prices. It got me thinking though, with the technology put into the AX1200, are...

Is it possible to clone desktop across multiple video cards? I am currently running 2x480SLI (video) and a 450 (audio to receiver). It is necessary to run independant connections because there is video lag through the receiver. Because of the separate connections, nVidia acts as if it is two...

Yeah, I read the manual and it didn't say. I would assume you can use one cable but hooked two anyways.

I am currently building a new rig and was going to just my Xonar 1.3 slim but it appears with SLI the spot is covered. My only option is to either get a 1x audio card to go in the free 4x or 16x slot OR get a video card that bitstreams. My question is, bitstreaming aside, what is the audio...

Rampage III Extreme has 2 4x4 CPU ports and my Corsair 1200w PSU has two separate 8x4 cables that each split into 4x4. So that makes a total of 4 4x4 connections. Because the ports on the Ramage are close together, I can easily connect both 4x4 connections from one cable. The question is, was...

Ok, thanks.
