Unless gaming, almost any video card crushes any task you can throw at it. For help making a decision go to www.techreport.com My handle has been active over there since long ago, and used to be a lot more active over there before I got a pond. Similarly excellent community on those forums as to these. Even have meet-up BBQs.

I used Tom's Hardware and Anandtech for info. Recently went to Mac, and it's been great. Parallels lets me run my legacy database stuff, so I'm good to go.

I do miss building my own though. Something cool about hitting that power switch for the first time on a clean install.

I have personally gotten tired of building my own machines. For whatever reason I have has some terrible luck with buggy motherboards, video cards, and memory. My build prior to the one I have now would pass any test I threw at it, but when it came time for actual work, it would freeze solid at very inconvenient times. It drove me up a wall!

I rebuilt it this spring, and now it is as stable as a rock. However I now have a tablet, and only have used the PC for gathering weather data and pulling pictures from my camera. Otherwise it just sits. The gaming I used to do I had to quit since I get a little worked up and use language not suitable for a house with kids.

I will still have 5 open SATA ports if I want to do ballistic overkill. There is also the option of SAS on an add-in controller…..

I have been in the IT game since 1975 and have always built my own personal systems. I have had my share of live&learn scenarios with hardware issues, especially back in the early days.
For me the challenge of “my perfect system” continues even at my advanced age. You could say that I am performance oriented in most things; computers/cars/trucks/boats/bikes/fishing gear. One time I even modified a water pump to double it's output.......

Same here. Hardly ever fire up the dinosaur since getting an iPad a couple years ago.

I have 2 Android tablets and a smart phone that I use a lot. I use a minimum of 4 large (27") displays for my business work. Each device has it's place.

Memory and CPU mounted, waiting for the new case to arrive via UPS.

So when is the full wall video screen and remote controlled submersible camera so we can see what is going on in the pond coming?


Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

Looks pretty cool Dwight! cool

I would love to hear the pump mod story.

I'm kinda stuck using the Affinity Laws here, which tells me that if I want to double the output, It'll take 8 times the HP with the same pump unit. eek

If there are any tricks, let us know! A common theme around here is water, and pumping it.

Dwight, which coolant are you going to use?

With flash drives, do you really need RAID 10 any more?

Well Dwight,
Nerd's are the one's who made all the crap, that you, as a geek, are in process of assembling.

Clear as mud! Right? wink

Corsair Hydro Series H110 280 mm High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler is a closed system with some special coolant that I can't recall the name. I know for sure that is isn't Peroni.

SSDs theoretically won't fail, but in reality they will fail. We had a client server with mirrored SSDs for the operating system. One failed and the other saved the day. Striping value on SSDs is determined by the rest of the system's throughput. In this case it will improve performance though the word "need" does not apply.
