    I'd totally use this as a Steam machine. Either that or a NAS with external drives.

    If you have Windows 7 Pro or higher (or Windows 8/8.1 Pro or higher) on your editing machine, you can remote desktop in from your Celeron machine and use the more powerful rig as if you were sitting in front of it. Of course there will be some minor stuttering, but over a power line network, the trouble should be minimal. The only problem is that you'll lose all GPU acceleration if you use remote desktop. One workaround that I tend to use is to open the GPU accelerated program on the server machine locally (ie, open Premiere on your editing rig using its keyboard and mouse), then go over to the remote machine and just connect to the existing logged in session.

    Sweet, thanks for the giveaway! Favorite item there is probably the Kuhler. Dual pumps is something I haven't seen in any other ILC system.

    I love how badass they look. Definitely a plus with all these windowed cases these days.

    Best part about the Z2 (and most of Sony's lineup) is that it is waterproof. Seems gimmicky at first, but the practical usage scenarios are well worth the price of admission. Best think about dbrand is that they're reasonably priced. Its a skin for your phone, no need to charge $50 for it, and I totally respect them for that.

    Favorite thing about the phone is super thin bezels. Also a very close to stock Android experience is very much appreciated.

    Easily VR. I play a ton of racing games so to me it seems like the next logical step in immersion. Wearable tech comes a close second though.

    Again very simple - just create a menu for that. In your wordpress admin menu, go to "Appearance" then to "Menus". In that page you can create a custom menu in the "Edit Menus" tab, then go into the "Manage Locations" tab (both should be near the top of the page), and select where you want your custom menu to appear.

    You need to set the featured image for each post. Its tedious, but that's how most themes handle it. Open up each post in your editor, then click the link on the bottom right corner that says "Set featured image". Repeat for each additional post. That should do the trick.

    I second Flynn's post. I have a beefy home server set up and even that has only a single gigabit connection. Streaming files to multiple devices at the same time has absolutely no issues. You'll be spending a small fortune on just decent link-aggregation capable devices, if you do go that route, for very little gain. Besides, all the clients and cabling (Cat6 minimum) should also support >1Gbit connection speeds for you to see any benefit. For a server, power consumption and availability are key - exactly what Flynn said.

    Not true. I had pfSense set up in a VM last month bridged to two network adapters. It worked perfectly as a DHCP server and a firewall. I had one NIC bridged to the WAN and the other bridged to my internal network. As a router, it performed really well. I got line speed throughput from it (50Mbps). All the devices on the physical network got an IP address from it just fine - not just the devices hosted on the VM. But the problem came with Window's bridged networking drivers. It introduced a significant amount of load on the CPU. From what I hear though, Linux's virtio drivers are much better suited. You should have very little performance overhead. Its not something I have tried though - I have since moved pfSense to a dedicated machine. Just an old laptop I had lying around with a USB network adapter for the WAN side, and the builtin port for the LAN. It doesn't have anywhere near as powerful a CPU as my VM, but general performance is much better. That said, for a dedicated folding machine, I wouldn't install a router on it. You're going to affect your PPD adversely, or your VM is going to get choked for resources, slowing down your entire network. I highly suggest using an old laptop or a netbook. Or even get a used laptop one from craigslist to tinker with pfSense, rather than a hardware router.

    In for the win - hopefully.
