  1. Thank you. So, would I need conduit for this cable, and if so, where would I get it?
  2. I was looking at that, but I wasn't sure if it was UV rated. http://www.primuscable.com/store/p/14479-CAT6-Bulk-Ethernet-Cable-Direct-Burial-Outdoor-Shielded-Solid-Copper-Waterblock-Tape-23AWG-clone.aspx I was thinking of using this, even though it cost a little more. Would I need conduit for this, and if so, where would I get conduit?
  3. Would I need to use anything else, such as conduit, with the Tough Cable or is the cable good as is?
  4. I'm planning on running CAT6A outdoors, on exterior walls, to separate rooms, as running ethernet through the house isn't an option. What cable should I use for this application? I would prefer a 1000 foot spool. I've seen direct burial cables, but I'm not sure if any of them UV rated.
  5. I haven't built a PC, but I have built two keyboards and a headphone amp. I'm not going to reveal my age, but I'm not very old.
  6. No, but it seems to be good in the reviews.
  7. I have 200mbps, and I get 50mbps upstairs. The Netgear C7100V may be a good alternative.
  8. Really, I get pretty good speeds throughout my house, they aren't the best speeds, but it's worked well still.
  9. I have a ARRIS TG1682G, I don't really use it as a router, but I have tested it, it can get full speeds of 200mbps (240mbps) upstairs on 5GHz, and my house is about 3500 sq. ft. You may have gotten a dead unit.
  10. I know this isn't meant for gaming, I love how the build looks, but, CAN IT RUN CRYSIS? It looks amazing, do you mind me asking if this is for your company or for yourself (for work)?
  11. Where are you planning on putting the router? I have mine on one corner of the bottom floor of my house (3400 sq. ft.), and it isn't very good at reaching the opposite end of the top floor using 5GHz.
  12. These may also be good. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017NT8Q24 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DXVK3KY https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M12RE4A It depends on the reviews. You should just look through the reviews.
  13. Sorry, I'm really not sure about the sales. I won mine in an ASUS/Corsair giveaway.
  14. Ethernet is pretty good, I use 5GHz WiFi on the second floor, even though my router is on the first floor next to a wall, and I get the same speeds. I would recommend 5GHz-2, since it gives the best speed, for some reason 5GHz-1 isn't as consistent for me. Firmware can be downgraded and upgraded to whatever you want, but there is no Merlin firmware (for now), so you're stuck with the official ASUS stuff.
  15. I have the ROG Rapture, it's a really good router, but the firmware isn't very good, I couldn't figure out getting the 5GHz-1 band for a while. If you do end up buying it, and have problems, ask me, I may be able to help.
  16. I have the ARRIS TG1682G (XB3), and it works amazing, it supports Xfinity triple play. That was one of the problems we had when trying to find a modem, so we're still sticking with a rental...
  17. Okay, can I plug both of them into the same surge protector, or should I use two wall plugs?
  18. So, because I'm making a custom case, I only have enough space for 2 Flex ATX PSUs using the ADD2PSU. How would I combine the 2 AC Cords? They are 500 Watt PSUs.
  19. It's more of me building it myself, it's not really the DAC/AMP part, weirdly enough.
  20. I want to build the DIY JDSLABS ODAC + O2 DAC/AMP. I'm confused on which method is the way that JDLABS does it? https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/JDSLabs/O2_ODAC/ "One thing that is not mentioned on JDSLabs' site is that the ODAC is wired to the input jack as well, which means you can use the O2+ODAC as a standalone DAC. All you have to do is leave the power off before connecting a cable to the jack that is usually the input jack for the headphone amplifier section and, voilà, you have a true line-out." http://www.jdslabs.com/pdf/Instructions_ODAC_DIY.pdf "The ODAC can be wired to an Objective2 in one of two ways. Method 1 allows direct access to the ODAC's linelevel output via the O2's rightmost 3.5mm jack. Since the O2's input jack does not bypass the ODAC in this configuration, you should unplug the USB cable when using the 3.5mm jack for analog input. Connect ODAC only to external amplifiers with an input impedance of at least 10kΩ in this configuration. An O2+ODAC assembled as per Method 2 results in the same DAC functionality, except the 3.5mm analog input jack bypasses the ODAC when a 3.5mm cable is connected. This means it's not necessary to unplug the USB cable in this configuration. Instead, the 3.5mm cable must be unplugged in order to use the ODAC. Method 2 provides no direct access to ODAC's line-output." Which method is the one that JDSLABS uses in their assembled units?
