    Personal Rig - Kova

    Some pictures of my gaming rig, Kova
  2. https://youtu.be/_cQudsQ_xM8 Thanks Linus, can't wait to see the winners! #UltraWideFestival #UltraWide #DreamSetup
  3. Great review! I've needed a smartphone for a while now, and nothing matters more to me than good build quality. Metal for the win!
  4. Alright, well thanks man. Oh well! Maybe more time will bring lower prices.
  5. Wow, there aren't any of these with 1/4 the connections? Yeah that's all I could find myself, just wanted to check if anyone knew of cheaper, smaller ones.
  6. Hey guys, I'm looking for a switch, but not sure what to look for. My plan is to have a 10 gigabit switch to connect a few computers together, but then have a 10 gigabit line come from that router to another switch, but have that connect via 1 gigabit connections. So more simply, I want a switch that has one 10 gigabit connection and, let's say, 8-12 1 gigabit connections to connect to the other switch. Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough, but where would I find that? Let me know if anyone needs more info. Thank you!

  8. Yeah, that's the plan as well. Well I guess I'll just have to wait.
  9. Hey guys, I'm in the market for a wireless hard drive (i.e. Corsair Voyager Air) but I've noticed they're all wireless n. Are there / will there be any wireless ac drives coming out? Thanks
  10. http://youtu.be/KjXH0S2iqTA?t=7m53s In his old setup he has a quad NIC, but I think he switched to 10 gigabit around when he started Linus Media Group. Still, since I'm only planning on raid 10 for the time being, I may just get an extra single NIC from the server as there's no reason for more.
  11. So just wondering, why does Linus have a quad NIC in both his sever and PC? Is there something that setup would be useful for?
  12. Hey thanks a bunch, just wanted someone to clarify everything and make sure things would work. That answers what I got, thanks again.
  13. I thought about that, but I think I want more than a NAS and a simple router. I do a bunch of video editing with large files and want the expandability and customization of a full home server. Also, I'll be putting a quad NIC on my rendering PC and server (Hence the four lines off the switch) for the extra bandwidth as I would need/benefit from it. There are some other reasons, but there's two. I may still consider it though, thanks.
  14. Hey everyone, I've been a member of the forum since it was created, checking out the news section, but never really had a reason to post. Now I guess I do! I'm planning to set up a home network with a home server (Running Windows Server 2012) at its heart. This'll be used for file storage to be accessed by everything else in my house (Like Linus' setup: File backups, general ease of use instead of each device having its own files/storage). I also want to connect everything to the internet. So, here are my questions... 1) Can I just connect everything via ethernet cable to a switch and have everything work? 2) If I connect my router to the switch as well, will every other device connected to the switch be able to access the internet? 3) Will I be able to access my files from my home server via the internet if it is connected to the internet? 4) Is there a wireless "broadcaster" or something I can buy so I can connect it to the switch and connect something like my laptop/tablet/phone to it wirelessly? Could I use my router? 5) Will I need a special type of switch? (I was planning on getting one unmanaged) 6) Will I be able so send files to the server (Via ethernet/"broadcaster") from my devices or will I need special crossover cables or something? I know some of the basics of networking (Basic topologies and such) and am a computer programmer, so I have some understanding on how technology works. I just want to make sure things will work before spending a thousand dollars on a switch, a bunch of NIC's, and a server. Here's a visual representation of what I am looking at doing: Thanks everyone!
  15. Thanks for the giveaway, this is awesome! Keep up the great work, both LinusMediaGroup and HTC!
  16. Yeah, all personal preference. For myself, I can hear the RPM sensor version quite well, and it get's pretty annoying. It's not because the pump is rattling or whatever because I didn't mount it right, it's just the pump is too "loud". I also under volt my fans and over rad so I can't even hear them. I'm sure the majority of people out there are like you and don't see the point, and that's fine, which is why they're keeping it pretty low key and have a relatively limited supply. Also, I watch singularity computers all the time. Great builds, there's still more I can learn from him.
