Thanks. What are: OSMC, CEC and Plex? Sorry I'm new. Edit: I guess what I want is a system that is always-on but low-power. It would have large 2 or 4TB HDD to store and serve all my media where any connected devices could read, write and play. Said devices could be: Windows 10 PC or amazon...

So I read that Raspberry pi 3 can be created as a media center but I'm missing the connection between it and its storage. I want big storage (4TB or more) with RAID 1 (I'm new to this) so if one drive fails I could still have a mirror. How does this work? Raspberry pi 3 only has USB 2.0 so how...

Thanks for answer, I've been waiting for days. So my alternative is DSL? Yes $43/mo for 3mbps down. For $55, I could get 18mbps -- much much better value per dollar. However, I don't need that fast.

No pictures or videos, ok ... how about some sketches :)?

Hi, I'm in San Diego, California. I pay $43/mo for cox cable with speed of (up to) 3 mbps down and 1 mbps up (allowance is 5GB/mo). I'm looking to see if there are alternatives out there. I read about Clear Voyager and Virgin mobile and FreedomPop... they confuse me. Freedompop: No coverage in...

Tegta tegta tegta Do you even read your own article BEFORE you post it?

Thermal paste "wear out" over time. It's very easy to reapply. Just go to youtube and search for it. One time, my GPU temp goes all the way to 90 and I redid the thermal and now it's 60-70.

I ran intelburn and it's stable. So far no freezes. Once that happens, I will reinstall OS (win7 64bit). Thanks! Edit: it happened again after several hours of gaming (guild wars 2). Tearing noise through speakers, screen turned black and system powered off by itself after 2-5 seconds. Really...

Hi just installed new mono n CPU but now I experience occasional freeze. Had to force power off. Is there a diag software to find out what is causing it? Intel i5 3470 MSI h61ee w8 Old ram 2×4gb g.skill 1333 Old sad Old HDD Old GPU HD 5770 Temp is under 69celcius at peak. Not over clocking...

As it's mainly for gaming, I will go with i5 3470. Thanks all!

There are two options to buy for CPU and motherboard. Both are same price at end, $215-ish after tax and rebate. Which one should I pick? Option one Intel core i5 3470 + MSI H61M-E33/W8 CPU link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115234 Mobo link...

Bought it. Paid $3. Amazing.

I'm looking at this cheapo mobo BIOSTAR H61MGC and it supports LGA 1155 socket. However, newegg page says it supports 2nd intel core i3/i5/i7 generation. How about the 3rd one (LGA 1155 CPU), will it support them? Thanks.

@ikaz Yes I lowered it all the way to lowest and now the WvW models are default models which look like crap. With that settings, it's playable but I would like more. The issue with internet latency is there but it's not my concern (or of this thread). Thanks! @anthonyla65 Thanks for the link...
