Are you able to run a wire? Mesh can work but I wouldn't expect speeds to be that much better. It think 120-150 is pretty good at that range anyway.
 
You should be able to kind of make / simulate a single network by using the same SSID and password for the repeater.

The eero series by amazon is a good entry level option. look for something that has wifi 6. 

There is an alternative way to upgrade your H2100 battery! Bumping an old thread because I decided to change the battery on my old H2100 headset.
 
One can buy a HZSL103450A or BS140550 1700mah battery to replace the original 680/700mah unit. This unit has similar dimensions, although thicker at 10mm. It seems to have the right connector and shouldn't require any soldering work. 
 
The HZSL103450A has half the charge of a high-end Nitecore 18650 3400mah at the same price, but should be easier to install.

currently visualizing those Christmas villages with the hidden magnets that move around under the ice to make the figures move around but instead put them into the levels of the house to make the doctors move from window to window =p

I don't see many problems with it (and THANK YOU for not including an optical drive...that annoys me )

No man's sky more like No man's going to buy this shitty game.

You don't give any information about the type of LED lights so we can only speculate but many LED lights have a built in current controller to supply the LED's with a steady current (LED's are current based devices, not voltage). In this case the LED's will always have the same brightness for whatever voltage between 12-36V you supply and you cannot dim them by playing with the voltage.

depends what your playing and the 1080 will def be able to in a lot of older game no problem 

For that design I would recommend to get it made with vinyl wrap as it can allow for all the details and keep everything nice and sharp. 

There's overkill and then there's this:D finally feels like im on the home stretch. I got about 90% of the parts painted now including the mainframe. I gotta assemble it again tommorow but here's a sneakpeak of what's to come. I chromed the legs and the monitor mounts/arms and matt black the rest. Don't mind the greasstains:D
 

 

 

 

i dont even know if i like this anymore because im so jealous...  

Filthy Console Peasant was my answer to that picture. 

I also recommend both the EEVBlog channel and EEVBlog.com forums. 
If you can find a cheap used Rigol, Siglent, or Agilent (ha, funny), that's the best you can get that come remotely close to your price range.
 
Dave from the EEVBlog did a teardown of a Korad bench supply: 
They have 2 main versions on Amazon:
Single Channel:

Three Channel:
http://www.amazon.com/KORAD-KA3305P-Programmable-Precision-Adjustable/dp/B012LMOI84/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1458716487&sr=1-3&keywords=korad+power+supply
 
Twice the price, but triple the whammy. The second falls at the bottom of your 2-300 range, 
They both fulfill your criteria and don't break the bank. Be warned that they are apparently somewhat unintuitive to get used to according to some reviews, but no other complaints other than that. 
 
I'll be happy to answer any more questions to the best of my ability.

I have used mine just as an oprn unit before. If you want something of good quality and reliability, I would post on the EEVBlog forums with your price range. My guess is an old HP/agilent/keysight lab supply will do well

thx guys ill check out that forum =]

Tech joke: Underclock yourself, and reduce your voltage while you're at it.

Thisd is the real reason for all the ejecting Nvidia cards...

At least benchmark them!

Ah, I tried. These guys got a little too warm with their factory overclock. 

 
Actually Twitch takes a huge portion of the tip jar earnings. 50% iirc.
 
Just an FYI more than anything else. 
 
I'm thinking of doing another "honest answer" episode called "how do YouTubers make money?". Might clear up a LOT of this stuff
 
@syntaxvgm is 100% correct, by the way. If you really want to contribute to LMG, a badge on the forum is the best way.

IT's late and I'm both hungry and tired from shooting Scrapyard Wars (which by the way is an LTT series and will be airing ad-supported on YouTube very soon for your viewing pleasure).
 
But there are a few points to address and you've already been patient enough.
 
I said LMG content would always be free. This was poor wording on my part. There has always been content produced by me and my team that was not necessarily available on a free platform like YouTube.
 
These "The Boost" videos that we make on contract as a sales training resource for Intel, for example:
 
 
 
In much the same way, Vessel has contracted LMG the production company to create an original series for their platform. They bankrolled the whole thing, giving us an opportunity to make something that otherwise would have been too costly, and per the licensing agreement they own the right to exploit this content. It's their show until such time as they decide it's not anymore.
 
We played more of a "production company" role in this than we're accustomed to.
 
This could, and SHOULD have been communicated better, and for that I'm sorry. The community should have heard about this from us FIRST, and not from a random email newsletter, but I've been (and so has the whole team) absolutely busting ass to not only get Nerd Sports produced, but also make sure that we're keeping up with everything else that we've got going on including not having missed a single day of LTT uploads for something like 5 years..
 
With that said, quantity isn't everything, and I've noticed that not everyone has appreciated the LTT content as much as usual lately, but it's hard for me to tell if that's because they don't like our new direction (fewer reviews, and more exploratory or experimental videos) or if they just saw a video or two they didn't like and raised hell in the comment section - it wouldn't be the first time.. And I will say, too, that honestly if a couple of the videos felt rushed then it's probably because they were.. HOWEVER, the primary reason for the rushed videos was  the entire week we're taking off this week to film Scrapyard Wars Season 4, which will be premiering on Vessel sometime in the next few weeks or so, followed by a release on YouTube 1 week later, which is the standard agreement for OUR content that is paid for by LMG or our sponsors.
 
Nerd Sports was shot 40% during evenings and weekends with employees taking time in lieu later on when we hire some more staff or when things slow down a little. We were careful to avoid disrupting any of our other commitments because imo you guys deserve the best we can deliver.
 
Which is another point that was brought up in this thread - "How will LMG keep its commitment to maintain the pace and quality of the other content if they're making Nerd Sports or other contractual content?"
 
We couldn't. We're hiring.
 
I've never shied away from investing in more staff or better equipment or a better facility to make sure that we're doing our best for ourselves, each other, our sponsors and our viewers. If we play our cards right, absolutely everyone wins.
 
Nerd Sports has been a fantastic learning experience for us, and whether we continue the series with Vessel, create other completely different web series in the future, or just say "fudge it" and flip burgers from now on, we'll be able to do those things better than we could have without having done this.
 
So bottom line is this. I screwed up the way I communicated "LMG content", which was meant to be content funded BY Linus Media Group rather than content funded entirely by and licensed to a 3rd party, and I screwed up in a MUCH bigger way the LACK of communication about this project. Sorry guys.

i have a m17x r3 i got back in 2009 for college and light gaming i used it as my main gaming computer up till October of last year when i built my desktop to finally replace it but from the homework i did back then price to performance everything i looked into for upgrading was a waste of money other than a SSD upgrade which you already have.
 
for thermals tho speaking from experience open that baby up and clean her out the way the 2 blower fans work in the alienware computers the fins in the back were the air comes out gunk up pretty bad and fast! i probably took myn apart to clean it every few months during the time i used it as my daily driver. also replace the stock thermal paste with something decent i found that helped a tiny bit but mostly you just need a decent cooling pad if you want to game on it i played wow on myn for almost 4 years any extended play time required a cooling pad. 

not gonna lie, thought this was gonna be a suicide note

Woah that's a bit serious.
 
It still is a suicide note for his DVD drives, I guess. Darkness, darkness everywhere. Even in the midst of a wonderful race known as the PC Masterrace.
