Well, nice product .. This projector is very interesting because this solves one of the draw back of the projector :: the distance. This opens a lot of opportunities for small area projection..

As I mentioned above, I like it to be "free" to begin with.. Thanks

Any recommendation then?

Hey, Thanks all for the reply. I am planning to use them as mainly for backup and archive. I am planning to have Pentium to i3. Also for Ram, maybe 4GB, but I will upgrade to 8gb if necessery. I believe Unraid is better because it is "paid" so it will be more "premium". However, I am planning to build them for home at low cost. So that is why I am comparing two free NAS OS, FreeNas and Rockstor. Thanks, ~gid

Hey While watching this video: I realized he was recommanding RockStor for the free Nas OS. However, I heard FreeNas is famous for the NAS OS.. Which one would you choose/prefer? Thanks

Okay, Thanks for the answers .. Have a great day!

Also what do you/he mean by: /2nd hand HD7950's (Same EXACT card as R9-280) go for $75-125 depending where you live... So HD7950 = R9-280?

Thanks for giving educated response. I am planning to upgrade my CPU to i5-4590 or i5-4690 sometime next year.. (or newer one if they have any then).. but is R9 380 solid enough for those CPU? Also, Is buying second-hand GPU "safe" and ideal? Also, where can I get second hands?

Thanks for the quick reply. Would you recommend upgrading GPU then CPU or CPU then GPU? I mean I want it to be easily upgrade-able without putting hundreds of dollars. And yes, about $150 - $250 is perfect.

Hello, This is computer I built few month back. It is solid now but wondering what I can do better. I think next upgrade will be either RAM or GPU (Not CPU because the power is enough for me right now). So what is the bang for the buck (or affordable) GPU I can get on the market? Not too expensive but enough to see the improvement. Thanks for the awesome community. P.S. Please excuse my English. Thanks

I have to by through UK.. so UK..

Hi, I really want to know when is the best time to buy computer parts/components. Yes, black Friday have been passed and tomorrow is cyber Monday.. also, I am getting lot of idea before or after Christmas (end of year) is best time to buy.. So I have made little poll/survey to answer. if you have time then please post below.. Thanks!

I might use EVGA 100-B1-0500-KR cause it is little bit more cheaper and give more power.. (Watts).. also it is trust-able brand.. any-thought?

Thanks for recommendation.. so is this build solid enough?
