    Some of these craigslist screenshots remind me of one guy who had a computer I thought looked interesting. He said he had built it himself, and listed 3 things in the specs:
     
    "Processor: Intel
    Motherboard: Asus
    RAM: SSD
    "
    Um... so... can you give me more details than the manufacturer's names? And maybe even correct specs?

    "Intel 2
    Asus ROG
    2 RAM SSDs
    "

    Okay have a nice day o.0

    I am waiting for the parts to be delivered, but they should arrive by Tuesday... If the order tracker is accurate. Anxious to hear any input on what you guys think of my component selection, or about any problems you believe I may encounter. As the post says this is my first attempt at a gaming desktop assembly, and any tips or criticism would be appreciated. The step of the build I am most worried about would probably be the proper mounting of the noctua CPU cooler (as well as fan orientation), mounting of the motherboard in the case, and proper cable attachment from the motherboard with the associated components (not to mention good cable management). I'm worried about CPU temps also, but I thought with the aftermarket cooler and three 140mm in the case would be adequate in such an open case... I hope I'm not wrong... Anyways, thank you for your assistance and feedback.

    What you need is a domain name. This can be purchased on several different sites like Godaddy.com, domain.com, etc.
     

    This will likely cost you about 10-15 USD per year. It depends on what name you want to register and if it's a popular name and so on.
    (Example: let's say the only domain google owned was google.com. That would mean google.net or google.org etc would very expensive since it's a popular name. Now this isn't the case but you get the idea.)
     
    What you can do is also register for an email service on godaddy/domain.com or similar for about 4-5 USD a month.
     
    So, lets say you get a domain for 13USD for an entire year and then pay 4.50 USD a month for email. That will be a total of about 67 USD. The benefit of this is that it will be set up once you make the purchase with the registrar and you don't have to configure anything yourself. The downside is that it is significantly more expensive than just buying a domain.
     
    Free option (domain still costs)
     
    If you only want to pay for the domain and get the email service for free. There are a few options but they may be hard to do if you do not know anything about it.
    (Note, there may be more/other options than the following two. These are just the ones I could come up with right now)
     
    Option 1:
    You can either make a free account on a service like zoho.com which gives you a few accounts for free to go with your domain (remember, you are still going to have to buy a domain, this is only to get the email service for free.) This can be tricky if it's your first time. But there are plenty of resources online and both zoho and sites like Godaddy can help you set it up for free. (You are going to have to redirect mxrecords for mail on Godaddy/domain.com to what the zoho site tells you.)
     

    Option 2:
    You can also setup a mail server at home, this is free but a lot more advanced and you are going to have to research that on your own if you are interested. Although, you may want to read stuff like this, it is tricky and you have to make sure it's secure yourself.
     

    What I recommend:
     
    If you have absolutely no idea of what you are doing when it comes to domain names and do not have an issue with the cost. Consider looking at a mail service from the domain registrar you choose. It's definitely more expensive but depending on what kind of person you are, it might just be the only choice.
     

    Although, if you just haven't done it before but you want to learn (it isn't too hard really, as long as you have some interest you shouldn't have any troubles really), I'd go with buying a domain and getting a zoho account. It's fairly simple and zoho has great tutorials for the major registrars with step by step instructions. And with the major registrars, support staff will probably set it up for you for free if you just give them the info they need from the zoho website.
     

    EDIT:
    Just FYI, unless you have a rather unique lastname, it might be troublesome for you to register it as it may be taken already. I myself have thought about doing it but my lastname, Johnson, is not that unique and therefore most of the Johnson domains are already taken. But again, if your lastname is quite unique to only your family, then you might be lucky.

     
    No, I see what you are trying to say but you don't need to own the surname "as a server". You have to own a domain name (Which might be what you meant.)

    Definitely. If you are feeling budget-minded, and want more screen real-estate, this monitor is the perfect match. Have had it for 5 months now, and recommend it to anyone looking for a much cheaper Ultrawide with excellent colors.

    To test this, simply connect 1 monitor via the DP to HDMI adapter and see if it works. If so, then the problem is using those connections next to each other. Try other adapters/connections.
    If it doesn't work, then get new cabling methods.
     
     
    Doesn't work when their GPU has 1 HDMI out and all their monitors have HDMI in.
