  1. Hi guys, Quick one for those more experienced in today's crypto situation. I have a Radeon HD 6970 and an HD 7950 sitting around gathering dust, are there any profitable or viable mining opportunists still out there for small scale GPU mining? I'm think alt coins of some type. And obviously I want it to make financial sense after electricity cost. I have a decent motherboard and CPU etc also lying around (AMD) to kit it out.
  2. Plex has a built in feature that allows me to see the users from within the plex app ( Status> Now playing) and also the devices that have accessed it. What advantages do the plugins have? Regarding security, I have tried to access the forwarded port when away from home to check this and was given a "Not authorised" prompt. So perhaps plex secures it? Do you think opening a port for remote desktop is a security risk?
  3. A Combination of lan and remote clients, as well as personal backups over the network! Yes I'll look into it but It would involve replacing my isp router with a modem as well due to the fiber connection I have. Perhaps in the future. Thanks for your help!
  4. That is exactly my use case! I am running a plex media server shared with my friends. But I don't have the cash to invest in a new router or NICS atm, it will have to wait if there is no software solution
  5. I have seen it but it seemed to be very limited and then the only good version was paid..but thanks!
  6. 1 internally and 1 one on a pci NIC
  7. Effectively teaming them to achieve a 2Gbps theoretical connection, using whatever method is must useful
  8. Hi Guys, Looking for an easy software solution to bond 2 gigabit ports together on a media server PC to allow for extra bandwidth when backing up at the same time as streaming. Is there anyway to do this that doesn't involve hardware changes? And would bridging the connections in windows be of any use? thanks
  9. They look good especially the node 804, but any budget options?
  10. I was thinking of a cube shaped case similar to the Antec p50, but with more drive bays. Would like at least 4 3.5inch bays. Any good recommendations?
  11. Thanks guys, I'll test over the next few days but it sounds like I need to get a modem from my ISP and just get two of the same routers in order to achieve this.
  12. I have 2 routers, one set up as DHCP and connected direct to the net(on the bottom floor), and another set up as a secondary (on the top floor). I've just changed all the WiFi settings on both to match. Will my devices seamlessly and importantly Automatically switch between the two as I move floors? Here is the guide I followed. http://smallbusiness.chron.com/setting-up-wireless-routers-same-ssid-68675.html They are both functioning perfectly now, but just not 100% on the switch over as I had to do it manually before when the SSIDs were different. Thanks!
  13. Windows itself, ie the ring of dots and a windows 10 logo. It's a software based issue
  14. Yep running right now at advertised speeds, it's literally booting that is the only issue.
  15. All All of which I do regularly, but thanks for the help!
