    The Apple vs FBI debate is very interesting and has a lot of sources on the topic. I just did a point counter point speech about it. Definitely something worthwhile to talk about.

    I think it would be a good idea to get some closed back headphones and the mod mic. When gameplay sound is played through your speakers and then picked up by your microphone it loops back to everyone for a second time which can be distracting and annoying to other players. The HyperX Cloud 2 seems like a good option if you want a gaming headset, however.

    It's not completely wrong. Even high quality USB mics are noisier than XLR mics because of the limitation of USB. In my experience the Snowball is a very noisy mic without giving you enough gain, and the reason is because of the lack of power. I'm fully aware of XLR mics, and if you want quality that's a far better option - but the budget obviously limits the options here. 3-pin XLR can carry up to 15 amps, while USB 3.0 (2.0 is even more limited) is limited to 900 mA.

    Well I'm glad you're not going with the Blue Snowball. It's a very noisy yet quiet microphone because it doesn't get enough power from USB alone. For your situation I would recommend a Uni-directional ModMic. http://www.modmic.com/collections/modmic/products/modmic-4-0 edit: It even has a mute button, included foam pop filter, and it's a great value.

    I'm having the same issue. EUR10 doesn't work for me either. I suppose I could email iFixit as well but I really would like to support Linus with one of his offer codes.

    My IBM Model M! Of course I did not own it for it's entire life, unfortunately. I bought it a couple years ago. Also I re-purposed an old Desktop PC and configured FreeNAS on it. An Apple Airport Extreme 5th Generation (2011). It's not super old, but it's still running reliably.

    It has my favorite sensor, the Pixart 3310.

    I took a screenshot quite awhile ago of his channel page when Linus got 200K subscribers. Things have changed quite a bit since then!

    I'd look for a Herman Miller Equa 2, sometimes you can find them on eBay for under $150. They really support your back, and while being a basic office chair with not a lot of adjustments, they just feel right.

    I still really like the unboxings, just to see your first impression of a product. Plus, I like to call your videos indepth unboxings because they're really more than just looking at the box and reading the tech specs. You always tell a more information about something. All that being said, if you're getting tired of the unboxings definitely change it up and do the videos you want to do. I'll keep watching.

    Didn't boot without the data drive plugged in. I had to burn a copy of Windows 8 onto a CD so that I could do a repair of the OS with the data drive unplugged. Then, when it figured everything out, I could plug the data drive back in and reformat it because it was no longer considered a system drive. Problem solved, albeit annoying.

    I'll just continue this post as I figure things out just in case there's anyone else out there with this problem. So now I've figured out how to mark the partition as inactive, however there may be a boot loader or something on it as it's still labeled as a "system" partition. I'm going to manually unplug the drive to see if it boots without it plugged in, if so, then it's okay to wipe it. However, it won't allow me to wipe it unless I use a Linux live cd or something. =\ Windows can be frustrating. Here is the link I found on how to mark the partition as inactive. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/197157-partition-mark-inactive.html

    It has something to do with the secondary drive being labeled an active system drive. I can't figure out how to make it inactive and how to make it a non-system drive. It's just a backup data drive so there should be no reason it's tied to the OS.

    Hello! I have a Windows 8.1 Pro machine that I use as a home server, and I was just about to set up storage spaces for a software raid system. When I create a drive pool, however, only one of my 2 data drives shows up even though both drives show up in Explorer and read / write fine. Is there anything I need to configure differently to get Storage Spaces to recognize that first data drive? Thanks!

    This would actually be really cool! I have a Youtube channel myself and I've been thinking about getting some T-shirts for awhile now. I'm a bit confused though... I don't see that they make T-shirts anywhere on their website.

    1. I only have a desktop and a server at home, with no laptop. Currently I have a very simple storage system, I have never tried RAID yet, although I would love to get a RAID setup going with my FTP Server. My desktop has a 200GB Samsung 830 Series SSD for the boot drive and two 3 TB Seagate Barracudas for the primary storage drive and a secondary backup drive. I use Allwaysync to keep both of these drives in sync instead of RAID. 2. I don't have a facebook. 3.

    Noctua, Fractal Design, Corsair, Kingston, MSI, Asus. Those are my favorite companies.

    And what do you know, you have to send ALL 4 dimms back because ONE of them is bad. Thanks, Newegg. I guess I'll have to run out to Fry's and price match, this is going to hurt.
  20. Rhinofeed
    Yup, the 4th dimm needs to be RMA'd. That sucks. I guess I should have stuck with name brand but…
  21. Rhinofeed
    I think one of the sicks is bad. :( I have 16GB currently installed successfully now. Booted up after the CMOS reset AND a change of one of the dimms. I guess the more memory you buy at once the higher chance of failure, even though they say they test each one. Can I now go ahead and plop in a 3rd just to see if it accepts it or will that screw settings up? Cancel that, lol. I have 3 sticks installed and it booted up successfully. Now to try a 4th.
  22. Rhinofeed
    Well, unfortunately, the new ram I have purchased doesn't seem to be working with my computer. I originally put all 4 dimms, no boot, did a quick press of the mem-OK button on my mobo and it still didn't work. Took two dimms out, tried mem-ok, same thing. (RAM LED lit) Took all but one out and then I get the Boot Device LED showing but not the RAM LED showing. Now what should I try? Thanks for your help!

    I went with the Noctua NH-D14 because a water cooling setup for my CPU would force me to open up the top portion of my case for the radiator. This would allow much more noise to reach me and my mic when I'm recording voice-overs or videos. That being said, a water cooling setup would definitely be very cool with custom heat sinks on the ram modules.

    Alright, thanks for your help everyone! I went with the Mushkin Enhanced Stealth.
  25. Rhinofeed
    Okay, I think I'm going to go with the Mushkin Stealth, but I had last one question. Something beefalo brought up with Quad channel vs. dual channel. I have the ASUS P8Z77-V Pro which says it supports dual channel memory. If I buy this, which says it's Quad Channel, would it be incompatible?
