I had tried the light version, but ran into some other roadblock I don't remember. Maybe I'll give it another try.
How much do you know the microSD requirements? Do you think what I have is adequate to run the OS and apps? "64GB SanDisk UltraPlus with U1 speed rating"

You want him to think for himself by influencing his decision?  Dude it's just a phone, let the kid get what he wants.

I came up with this same plan last night! I'm also going to make a file server for backup.

Spark fun and adafruit make the best non-genuino arduino boards. 

If you want the absolute cheapest prices, then go to ebay and buy the Chinese versions. I have had no problems with them (1000+ USD spent on Chinese electronics). But if you want to support the developers, then buying a genuine board is the way to go. Cheers!

I've used clones before from Amazon and had no problems. Just make sure the actual controller chip on it is the one you're looking for (for example, an Arduino Uno uses a ATmega328P).

.... Have you mounted it before?

No. That's not how it should be at all. 

See, Windows mounts drives over a network with Samba. You have to install Samba on your server to get it working. Samba shares have specific names.

Here's an example of how my server is set up. I would use this:
net use z: \\192.168.5.10\storage /USER:Deb-Storage\tremor <password> /PERSISTENT:YES However, the storage share on my server goes to /var/plex/media because that's where all my media is contained. The share name is storage, but the file path is completely unrelated to the share name.

You'd have to edit your samba configuration and add the share. Samba's configuration file is located at /etc/samba and it's name is smb.conf.
 
So here is my configuration so you know what I mean and what it looks like. Look at the very end for the list of shares:
 
So you should go into your server and type:
locate smb.conf #It'll be the first one it lists. Then type... sudo nano /path/to/smb.conf #Then add the shares correctly... Ignore the text after the #'s that look like comments because they are.

When I double click the code box with my samba configuration file text in it, it says it fails to load that content. If I double click the much smaller code box directly above, it works. 

I think the code editor is broken. It's a white background and seems to fail to load large portions of text. Just sayin.

Description: This is a build I wanted to do for a long time, Something about putting a pc in my favorite game console from my child hood ,The Nintendo Entertainment System. A few goals I had for this build was for it to be cleanly built inside and out,good cable management and decent airflow. I feel that I succeeded in all three areas and pack quite a decent gaming pc in this tiny shell. This build was purposed built for my family and I to enjoy games and media together.
 
So this is my take on a Retro Classic with a modern twist!

Description: I found a decent PC in a pile of trash by the side of the road ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so I took it home and it worked ¯\(°_°)/¯. chucked in some new component and made a cheap case out of wood
 
It's not some baller watercooled build, but it was fun to make!

Schiit Fulla DAC/Amp unit. They're so clever with naming over there

I see it as white and gold though 
 
I'm sorry

oh that makes it easy, thanks

A New SSD & Some Planning
Hey everyone,
  It's been an incredibly long time since my last update. I just bought a Samsung 840 EVO 240GB to replace my ADATA Premier Pro SP900 128GB. I ran out of space on the ADATA with Windows and BF4. I want to add more games and programs so now I have that extra space
Here are some pics (like you've never seen an SSD before)
Woa! A box!

And a drive!

 
   So I've been pretty unhappy with my setup lately. I'm not sure what it is, but I have an idea of how I want to rearrange it along with upgrading my PC a butt ton.    I'm not really going to explain how I'm going to set up my desk, but just know it includes more desk space    Now for the exciting part: I realized that my 2 gigs of VRAM on my GTX760 is really awful for my four monitors. So I have decided that I want 2 Gigabyte GV-N970G1 Gaming-4GD GeForce GTX 970 4GB Graphics Cards in SLI (obviously) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125684  Along with these cards I also want to do a custom water cooling loop again  B)   But my glorious Scout 2 case will NOT support it so I have decided that I will be doing this custom loop in a Cooler Master HAF Stacker 935 http://www.coolermaster.com/case/full-tower/haf935/   I will use the top 915R as a rad box with probably 2 dual rads. EK Water Blocks just came out with a block for the Gigabyte card so i'm super happy about that. This is a way away, but I'm so excited for it.
    On top of that I want to build a separate recording/streaming pc. This I will build in a standalone 915F case. This will be stacked with another 915F and 915R that will hold a home server and hard drives for the server respectively. So I will have two towers: My main rig in the 935 and a recording/streaming/server in a 9153 as Cooler Master calls it. There is really no point in the 9153 to be honest. But it will be a lot of fun to do 
   I'm working on planning the water cooling loop right now, which I will post later. Let me know what you think so far and if you have any recommendations 

Looks absolutely amazing, except that Linksys I'd return it right away, the software is shit and you'll want to throw the router across the room trust me I know.

This works perfectly. Thank You So Much

Came across this nifty program ages ago..

Rightclick, save icon placement
Move icons around..
Rightclick, restore, watch the magic happen.

Hi everyone, I have a triple monitor setup so that I can play games in Nvidia Surround. I like my Icons arranged very specifically all around the screen. The issue with this is when I switch between Surround and normal mode it pushes all my icons to left side. I don't have auto-arrange or anything like that checked. I could just take a screen shot and replace them every time, but I have 70+ icons and that can be extremely tedious. I understand why this is happening, I'm just wondering if there's a way to prevent it. Please help!

The One On Three
So you know that triple monitor setup I had? Now it's even better
I got a third Asus VS247 which I didn't bother to take a picture of by itself since I did that in the last update.
 
Now here is my new setup...

 
This is my entire setup

 
EDIT: I am also down sampling my resolution from 1440p to the native 1080p. See how to do this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTszNDyuAhg&index=1&list=PL6sP7-7RY5dRcz6V_qoSQYcQKXV8hyno7

My set up, as far as placement goes, is almost identical

The Fans
 
Got my new fans and fan controller today They arrived in only two days, go Newegg! I got 4 Cooler Master SickleFlow Fans, two with blue LEDs, two with no LEDs; and a Silverstone Air Penetrator. I heard good things about the AP fans, but it doesn't seem to push any air through my radiator and doesn't come close to the 22 dBA that the specs said. My CPU has yet to get warm at all, although I haven't done anything intensive yet. The NZXT Sentry 3 Fan controller works great. It has 5 channels and a single temperature probe which I placed on my graphics card to be near the center of the case. This wasn't for temps of the GPU, but just to get an idea of the overall temp inside the case.
And now for pictures:
 
Fans in boxes

 
Fans out of boxes

I'm going to do some 'benchmarks' testing CPU, GPU, and the controller's thermal probe using different settings on the fans. One with all fans off (control), and one with all fans on full blast. I will also test the performance setting, which sets fan speeds depending on the temperature of the thermal probe; as well as the quiet setting, which as far I can tell keeps all fans at 50%. I might also do a few with varying speeds between zones (front, top, and back) If there is a significant change, I will post my results.

Just my personal opinion, I wouldn't have gone with the azza 9000. Nor would I recommend it to anyone unless they wan't to mod the living hell out of it.
 
I have one, it's a nice looking case, but the Ratx form factor is kinda stupid unless you have top intake, and if you do the traditional atx layout, the fins on top completely ruin the airflow.
 
It looks nice though. But like I said, terrible airflow, which is why I moved to an air 540, at least until I can mod the hell out of my black azza 9000.
 
Just and FYI I'm in no way criticizing your build, I'm just sorely dissappointed in my Azza 9000 case (from my experience with it). I still can't believe someone greenlighted those fins on top, they're not only a complete impedement to airflow, but I think they look ugly as well.
 
My idea is basically to replace the retarded fins with a grill that looks something like the average grills on a grill that you cook with, so just long "bars" of either metal or plastic.
 
It would look like this
 
Rear
||||||||||
||||||||||
||||||||||
||||||||||
||||||||||
||||||||||
Front
 
Ignore the spacing between the lines of text, basically that.
 
The problem with this case is that if you set it up in "Ratx" then the top exhaust fans will basically be fighting the fans on your GPU, and I could be wrong, I never found a difinitive answer as to exactly what direction the fans on GPU's blow. I personally have an EVGA GTX660 FTW edition, which has two fans.
 
Another MAJOR problem that I see is the complete and total lack of front fans. Which leads me to another point.
 
For whatever reason, case designer's seem to think that if you just put "vent holes" anywhere that your case has good airflow, which I can state categorically is completely wrong. Think about it like a watercooling system and you'll see what I mean, it's essentially a "leak" in the system, without a fan to push or pull air, it just creates a "leak" for air to escape, which sounds good, but it's not, it makes the fans work harder and less efficiently. Without a way to funnel and or channel the air, you are basically just making the fans spin for no reason, it's as if you poked a bunch of holes in a water cooling system completely at random (on the positive pressure side) but had an unlimited supply of water intake to the pump. You'd have no direction and thusly no control over where the water went, and water not moving through the waterblock is wasted water
 
So basically, fans on front, remove top fins and replace with mesh and or grill, and then the case would be awesome.
 
Forgive me if I'm rambling/incoherent, I have been drinking, but I've been thinking about modding my azza 9000 for a good long while now, because I do love the way it looks, other than the top fins.

looks great  B)

Finally Got a New Case
 
As you know from some recent posts, I decided to pull the trigger on the CM Storm Scout 2. I wanted to get it in Ghost White but it was discontinued and I couldn't find it anywhere so I just when with black. I wasn't sure about the black and blue, but this looks great
This is the box

 
This is my new case next to the old one

This one's my favorite Side view of the outside after the switch. The red LED fans came with the case I will order new fans right after I finish this post.

 
Front view after the switch

 
Finally a peek through the window

 
I love the way this build came out, I just need to get some more fans and LEDs and it will be perfect
As I said in a previous post, I decided not to do water cooling due to the expense and that I just need to save up for things like car insurance and college. I will still update this thread if I ever add anything, and I guess the title is a little misleading at this point, but oh well

Description - This build came into fruition after I realized that running 4 GPUs on air, in a rendering machine that is meant to run constantly for 24 hours at 80C was not a good idea! Being that this is my first water cooling build there were a lot of challenges, the biggest one was, getting 4 radiators (3 x 240mm & 1 x 120mm) to fit inside my Corsair Air 540. I ended cutting out the drive trays at the bottom on the case with a dremel. Fortunately for me that was the most difficult part of this rig--everything else required just a bit of planning before executing, but it was intimidating.
