Use non standard ports. There isn't really enough time to find a domain not doing much, and sniff every single port "normally". (And this is what I read from OVH, whose network is attacked constantly, confirmed by the fact that I bought a VPS and after 30 minutes had over 3000 failed login attempts) If you switch off the standard ports you should be relatively safe. (Attacker finds domain, sniffs for the usual 22, 80, etc., finds them to be dead, moves on. The only draw back is let's say you piss someone off and they specifically attack you. They might find a hole eventually dependent on their skill level.
 
Could also route it through Cloudflare instead of your own DNS Server. At least that protects you from the normal idiots with online booters who enter a name, attack time, and click a button.
 
The best way to secure your stuff is to set your firewall to only accept traffic from specific IPs. Which would be useless to you if you want to remote to it from anywhere since your IP would most likely be different in different locations/cell towers.
 
Edit: There are professional networking security people on this forum who will most likely know very real doable ways to secure you like crazy. My post above could be wrong, but from what I've seen you really have nothing to worry about. If my servers are attacked constantly, you would run little risk of ever having a real attack launched against you.

As far as I'm aware, F8 is the method to boot a Dell Win 7 machine... Are you sure you're doing it properly? I know sometimes it can ignore it if not pressing it like a madman escaping from hell.

7.4-10.5
 
Could you get the actual model number for the Mac?

A domain name is just a fancy dress for an IP, which is already available to the open world to screw with. Just because you put a fancy dress on it doesn't make it easier to attack.

If the device is set as UEFI or Legacy boot and the BIOS forgets which its supposed to be that can happen. I've had it happen after BSODs before on desktops. Boot order or legacy/UEFI settings get buggered. Hard reset may have shaped it back up, but you may wanna double check what the drive actually is, boot wise, and make sure the BIOS is set as that only.

i want to buy this headset because the cost 100 dollars and want to take dat risk
btw thx for your help it is appreciated

Thank you very much to all and definitely going to buy a SSD and possibly upgrade my current HDD  

He's running 16GB.
 
Honestly, it's quite a decent system! Really like the style of it. SSD is almost a must at this point in time. Doesn't have to be terribly expensive. I live quite happily off a 120GB Intel 530 Series SSD as well as a HDD in a hddcaddy on my laptop.
 
What kind of editing are we talking about? Heavy duty stuff? Or light day to day type work? Swapping the Mobo is going to be expensive, mainly because with a newer Mobo comes newer CPU, sometimes a swap of RAM to something compatible (rarely) and possibly a new CPU cooler.
 
I personally feel like you can milk more time out of the Mobo/CPU *depending* on what you're editing and doing on it daily.

Then yeah what @monjessenstein said. Everyone on your system is fine, the SSD would cause noticeable speed increases for little cost. Clean your drive to a decent state and you can move the HDD OS to the SSD and really not lose anything.
 
By cleaning your drive, I mean cleaning it to match the amount of space on the SSD.
(If HDD has 500GB of files on it, move all NON-OS files to a backup. Or purchase a 512GB SSD, shrink to fit.)

Well, it depends. If you are screaming at it, it will get sad and fail to perform. If you are screaming next to it, it'll just be afraid and hide.
 
The only way I find that logical is if you are causing insane amounts of vibration.

Thank you for the clarification, @Master Kusho please ignore what I have said about a bigger PSU.

The DR3 is not far behind most AIO coolers but is more silent, he'll do just fine with it even when overclocking.
 
After going on a calculator on wattage, adding OC's as well I got around 400w. I know it's not 100% accurate, but it gives you an idea about how much power it will draw.
 
650w is enough. Don't be unrealistic.

Sounds like TwoFactor for the code, from what I've seen from Microsoft, I've had email accounts setup with them for close to 2 years and never touch them. As for the Office stuff, I've fully switched over to Google Docs since I paid quite a pretty penny for Office with Publisher and it deactivated and said my code was invalid and I ran into walls left n' right.
 
I also never had to sign up for anything when I activated it. Might have been my issue, might not have been. Could you clarify a little? 

Yeah, I stopped purchasing software from Microsoft after they wanted me to pay them for support because Windows Defender (that was disabled) was causing a bunch of issues with other software. Windows 8.1 Pro OEM was the last thing I ever purchased from them. Google replaces Office with no issue. You could reinstall the Office as much as you want, once your code reaches it's max usage, just call them and they'll swap it around. 

Appears to be 7.3 volts according to multipl ebay listings for aftermarket batteries.

Try using DSKCHK

I've used this a time or two to fix messed up USB Drives.

It really depends on the UPS, you won't get very long out of most of them, they're really designed to allow you time to properly shutdown your system safely. Not to use as a full blown power source. You'd want an Inverter for that, good ones go for around $2000.
 
Even Linus Tech Tips $17000 UPS wouldn't be able to run full load for over an hour. So you want an Inverter. You also have to plug your router in to maintain an internet connection.
 
Edit: If you are as mission critical as you think, I would look into a home backup power generator. The way they work is when they sense power is off, they flip the switch and provide power to the household for as long as you keep their tanks full. They on the other hand can run up to $20K plus w/ installation.

Very nice! My personal opinion would be to clean up the wires a little, they're already done really well, but they draw attention, especially the one wrapped around the fan a few times. I'd also work on getting a solid two tone color scheme going, or go for an USA type theme. Red Blue Black seems almost like you were throwing random fans in.
 
Great build though, should post the scores you get in games.

I there An hdd as Well?
if so try and unplug it,then install Windows on ssd.
if there is no Second hdd but your ssd,s were in raid,try install Windows on one of them.

very true. you can really use it for a variety of things. a home game server is always a nice thing to have. at the end of the day having your own server at that price is totally worth it. if linus could have a server to automatize feeding his cat i bet he would get one lol
