    TheGeeker got a reaction from BoomerL4D in Buying a used 3070ti - PSU Question   
    Its an older EVGA one.  My main PSU is a Seasonic 850w so no issue there, just that case is so large it would be a hassle to take it to test on a facebook deal.

    TheGeeker got a reaction from FreeEternal in Building PfSense Router Out of an Old Q6600 Desktop!   
    DISCLAIMER!!! This is in no way practical, cost-effective, or reasonably logical to build yourself a router. I am doing this because I HAD a system unused and I LOVE to do these kind of fun projects. This is in No way for saving money or time!
     
    So here it is. I was inspired by Linus's video here: 

     
    And took my plan into action after watching this:

     
    Hardware specs I am using:
    Q6600 http://ark.intel.com/products/29765/Intel-Core2-Quad-Processor-Q6600-8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB
    Foxconn G33M http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186125
    6Gb DDR2
    480w Thermaltake Psu
    Intel Pro/1000 Quad Port Gigabit Nic
    ARK 3U390A Black 3U Rackmount Server Case http://www.ebay.com/itm/381043264735?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
    Colored Cat6 Cables! Lol Love these!
     
    I will be using this as a house wide firewall and anti virus. Maybe do some more things with it not sure yet. This will be rackmounted above my Freenas box. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/431771-my-freenas-build-update-1/ 
     
    Will post pictures of my rack setup after I cable manage and get all the parts for this thing in and up and running!
     
    Will keep this updated regularly.

    TheGeeker got a reaction from J.b091 in i game on a membrane keyboard   
    I used a membrane keyboard for years. I then got a K70 (non-rgb) with Cherry reds on it and it makes a huge difference. My hands just feel so nice when I bottom out the keys as I smash the keyboard when I type. I just cant use a membrane the same way. It just does not feels right after using a mech for 1 1/2 years now.

    May I pipe in and say that Stephen Hawking died in Cambridge, which means he died on Pi Day?
     
    A truly great mind.  He will be missed...

    TheGeeker got a reaction from Vandorlot in Headphones   
    I mostly game but after using the M40X and M50 as well as other high end ears, cant use my brothers HyperX clouds w/o noticeable difference. Also, not sure if this matters to you, but both with my Bose wireless in ears and my M40x they come as an after thought so I frequently forget to charge it.

    1. It's normal for the LEDs to light up when there's power.
    2. Seems like you messed up the front I/O connectors, consult your motherboard manual.
    3. It may be USB power on or something, there's such a setting in BIOS.

    Sooner or later Linus's son will be a part of this forum and be into tech just as much as most of the people on here. ( And from the looks of it have some of the best specs too?)
