I just completed my build today. I bought an ASUS Tuf RTX 5080 OC not realizing it was an aircraft carrier. But that's okay. I have been evolving my previous case (a Cooler Master HAF 932) for 14 years. I have come to see how much cases have changed over the years. The H7 Flow took the new...

I came here looking to see if anyone has had the same idea regarding the shuffle. My idea is to ask Newegg to set up a database of people who register for the shuffle and then track how many times the same person has entered to win a chance to purchase. With this information they could then...

Adding a separate update to my reply (#29) above. I have isolated the wireless mouse dongle with a 6" USB extension cable and it works. But by surprise I also discovered something while trying out different locations for the Pi case to sit. I found I can use the Pi without the 6" extension...

Thanks...that's an interesting idea about isolating the dongle. All the components I bought are stacked vertically and enclosed inside a small case. The power manager has a button switch for turning on, rebooting, slow shutdown or forced shutdown via a script. I have not enable that yet as I...

Thank you for replying to my other question. I have my Pi up and running now but have not attempted the boot from SSD yet. What has caught my attention is your topic here about the USB3 to 2.4GHz interference. I have noticed this happening with my Pi. I have components from Geekworm...

I sent a reply to you in the private conversation. I logged in successfully.

Is there any way to recover my previous account? I have been a member since the late 1990's and had to create a new account. There have been several threads discussing the loss of user accounts but I have yet to see anything concrete regarding a fix. Thanks

Thanks for your response (and to Alabalcho's as well). I just completed a Software Developer certificate program at my local community college. As part of the program, I took two Linux classes which were based on the Cisco NetAcademy courses. It was a lot of fun and introduced me to as much...

I read the article on how to do this. I also read the comments on that article. Somewhere in all that discussing I figure there must be the information I need. But I'm not that savvy to see what's important and what's moot or bad information. Can someone point me to how to do this without...

I have somewhat related questions but first here's where I'm currently at: I have a brand new setup with a RPi4 (4GB) and a Samsung M.2 NVMe SSD (250GB) attached via components from Geekworm (X872/X735/X857-C1). I have a 32GB SD micro with NOOBS. I'm waiting for a cable to hook my rig up to a...

Just a quick follow up. I'll post elsewhere if this goes any further as it's not really motherboard related anymore. I tried upgrading to Win10 Pro from Win7 Pro using the guides on the Windows Ten forums. Essentially I upgraded Win7 to Win10 using a bootable USB stick with Win10 Pro install...

Sorry to be late replying. This was finals week at my college. It's weird going to college at 64. Such a different perspective. Anyway, thanks to all for the feedback. I think I will give the X79 a go with Win10 and proceed from there. I appreciate your help.

Thanks for help with sign in. I posted on the Forum Overhaul Mega-thread as well in Forum Feedback. Since I don't roll over my computers until it's necessary I try to get quality without going overboard (unless that's the only choice). So my budget here would probably be $1000 give or take...

I'm one of the members who lost my original account. I posted this fact last year in another thread which has since been locked as the OP finally recovered his account apparently. I understand this is not a priority for the developers so I'm not pushing here...just stating the case. My new...

First, let me thank you for reaching out to help me. My response yesterday was a reflection of my initial experience. I have no desire to do anything here other than get some help or help others when I can. I will review the protocols in spite of having been a long time member as I mentioned...
