Well I want to thank everyone for their replies and I'm sorry I took your time. M y wife said. " You're retired. stop messing with that s&$t" she's right. Thanks again.

Searching for home use WIFI Router that can update the config quickly. All my Google searches for fast config point to tweaking for faster data. I play and tweak for fun and learning and my Nighthawk R7000 seems to take a long time ( 2 -3 minutes) when I make changes. Just wondering if anyone is...

I use a 3Tb Seagate Central for backing up my main PC's OS. Data is always on separate drives and important data is encrypted and kept on on-line storage backup. Selling the raptors is a good move. thanks.

I have some extra drives and thinking of expanding my storage. I already use a 3tb Seagate Central. So thinking of selling the drives and contribute to a small cloud server? Buy a RAID box and use a few of them. I know the drives aren't worth much. Just throwing it out there Loose drives: 5 -...

Ok. so this morning while using my laptop at home, I was listening to a song on my NAS. got up and went to the kitchen for breakfast. Left the laptop just as it was. When I get back It appears to have rebooted. I try to logon and I get a message saying "You must use Windows Hello or a smart...

when I do a google search for "Purchase Office 2016", I see web sites that advertise Office 2016 anywhere from $15 to $75. anyone have any experience with buying these. Legit? Are they just the product code and you have to pay to activate? I don't mind that price range if it works. Maybe too...

Thanks. I'll also look at that.

I have 2 - 500Gig and 3 - 160 gig spare hard drives sitting in a draw. No space in my computer. Any suggestions for an inexpensive solution to combine to a network storage? I was thinking of a dock to use at least the 2 - 500 gig but they seem to be for drive duplication. Thanks for any thoughts...

Thanks all. The current MOBO for the 9505 is what ever the Business HP 8000 Elite had. Limited in the BIOS options and doesn't seem to be an overclock option. The MOBO for the i7 860 is a Gigabyte GA-P55m-UD2 and has a lot more tweaking options but is an old model. Same memory so maybe I'll try...

I recently upgraded from i7 860 to i5 6600K leaving me with an unused MOBO, CPU and 8 GIG ram. In another machine I use as a media server, headless HP 8000 Elite with q9505 Core 2 Quad, 4 gig ram.Thinking of swapping it out with the i7 860 but looking at the match up I don't really see the...

Thanks all. For now I'll take Refillable's suggestion and keep it for now. Overclocked it to 3.15 and will see how it goes. Gygabyte app give an option for 3.8 and I'll try that next weekend. IF I burn it up then so be it. Then look at the 980 or 1070 Video card.

Looking to upgrade. Currently running i7 860 CPU on a Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 MOBO with 8 gig RAM and GTX 560 Ti video card. 650W PS.It's been a good performer even though I burned a hole in one of the chips trying to over clock a few years ago. I don't do hard core gaming just some World of...

Looks good I'll check it out. Thanks for the reply.

The printer, a Lexmark e260d, has USB and parallel. Currently using an USB to an old HP 175x. Works but it's wired. Want to move the printer to a location that has no hard wire. Most rooms in my house were wired cat 6 except where I want to move the printer. Thanks

Looking for a wireless N print server. I don't want to have to install a utility to print. Just want to add the printer attached by printing to the IP address of the print server. I see several out there but they all seem to need some kind of utility you have to install on each PC and disconnect...
