Haven't posted in a while. We are getting new internet (FINALLY!), out uVerse internet was slowing down from 12 to 3, called ATT, said there was a problem with a line, asked them why they don't fix it, they said its on your side. Brought a technician, he said it was on their side. THEN they increased our price from 26$ to 50$ for 12, but we get 3. So we moved over to TWC, only other carrier. ANy suggestion on a good router w. 5ghz for under 100$

Sweet! H440 for the win!

Ergh....

How about.... Pawn... Small, and (somewhat) reliable

 

[Onus]

"Pawn" works; clearly implies it does what it's told.

 

[g-unit1111]

So I think I am about ready to pull the trigger on the monitor I want. So here's my requirements:

- Screen size: Minimum 27", max 32"
- Minimum resolution: 2560x1440, 4K would be preferable, but 1440P minimum
- 1ms would be nice but not required
- Budget: Around $500

Does anyone have any suggestions for monitors I should be looking at around that price range?

Which is mess up whatever I try to do 😛

I have to make a new Win 10 install USB, and make sure I have all needed drivers, ninite multi-install, MSI afterburner... Anti-virus and Spybot-antibeacon... Am I missing anything?

 

[Onus]

Firefox with AdBlock+, NoScript, and Lazarus; unless you download those once it is running. I use Thunderbird for email, and MalwareBytes. Don't forget your mouse drivers, but you can grab things like that once it's up and running.

Mouse drivers?

I've never installed a mouse driver, though my mouse is a cheap $5 thing. Makes sense if it's a gaming mouse, but how do you know Death has one of those?

 

[Onus]

I don't, but I know how much I like to set my tilt wheel even on a cheap Logitech, and that takes the drivers.

I use Windows Auto drivers for mouse and keyboard.

I use Chromium, Firefox isn't my thing(although it's in the ninite installer for my mom)...
I should take Chrome out of the ninite and put in a Chromium .exe....

 

[Onus]

Chrome is not allowed at work due to its data collection and tracking. If Cyber Security where I work says it's bad, that's good enough for me. Firefox is allowed.

Chromium is the open source version which has none of Google's trackers

 

[Onus]

Hmmm, that might be worth checking out then, if it has decent ad and script blocking.

It uses the same Chrome addons.... Used Adblock Origin, Toms extension, Dark Youtube, a twitch addon.

Then I ran my handy-dandy rash attack and clean temp folder batch every time I close the browser

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Well, I'm for the most part... up and running

So I'm looking at picking a case i've wanted for awhile now the corsair AIR540 but im curious is it better to have the front and tops fans set up as 2x 140mm front and 2x 140mm top exahust or 3x 120mm front intake and 3x 120mm top exhaust?

I'd personally go with the 140mm fans since they'd be a lot quieter. I think most others would probably recommend 140mm also, but that's just my personal recommendation (and it'll save you money).

While browsing Amazon, I think I stumbled upon what might be the most ridiculous item I've come across in that site:

Where have I seen that before?

:lol:

 

[nukemaster]

Batman's is bigger 😛

 

[azzazel_99]

Well I want airflow......sound of a 120mm doesn't bother me to much. I just want best airflow. Im a air cooler guy so i want the best array i can get for getting out the hot air from my gpu's

 

[nukemaster]

As long as you do not have lots of restriction, 140mm fans do move more air(sometimes at lower pressure. This may be due to the slower speed).

 

[nikoli707]

that 12 monitor system is meant for stock brokers

I made this meme a while back:

Nope. I'd say this wins. 😀
