0 at the moment because leaving it on at night is pointless and wastes energy/money My server is probably at 70 days or so, unable to check atm

That looks really expensive given that I pay 15€ for 2 GB / 2000 texts per month here, and can still use the 15€ to either call or buy stuff online. Ah well you guys have better deals on other things so I guess it cancels out

Agreed, I even want google to look at my emails just so I can do things like typing "show my latest purchases" in google and getting a nice overview. I don't mind them doing that, it's useful for me. Microsoft doing this is nothing new and I couldn't care less about it.

The HyperX Cloud is really what you are looking for. Amazon has a comparisation chart between the two generations (http://i.imgur.com/WA3r5PP.png) but it's not all that accurate, the only diferences between the two (in my experience) are the colour and the added 7.1 virtual surround dongle, which also improves sound quality and volume if you do not have a separate sound card. Price difference between the two is only 10$ (80$ and 90$).

I've been wondering, do people actually send MMS messages? They just seem way to expensive to me for what they do, especially when there are free alternatives like whatsapp

I wouldn't buy Windows 7 there, grab windows 8 on G2A or so for half the price and upgrade to windows 10 next week.

Allright, thanks for that

Hello, I am planning to build a home server / NAS that will be used mainly as plex server, private webserver and maybe a gameserver someday. Budget should be lower than / around €850 if possible. I live in Belgium, using pcpartpicker DE since that would be the most accurate when it comes to pricing. I already made some kind of list, but I feel like there are better options, mostly on the case and motherboard parts. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor (€73.89 @ Amazon Deutschland) CPU Cooler: be quiet! PURE ROCK 87.0 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (€34.04 @ Amazon Deutschland) Motherboard: ASRock H97M Anniversary Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (€76.89 @ Amazon Deutschland) Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Blue 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (€51.78 @ Amazon Deutschland) Storage: A-Data Premier Pro SP900 64GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (€49.89 @ Amazon Deutschland) Storage: A-Data Premier Pro SP900 64GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (€49.89 @ Amazon Deutschland) Storage: Western Digital Red 4TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive (€178.49 @ Amazon Deutschland) Storage: Western Digital Red 4TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive (€178.49 @ Amazon Deutschland) Case: Fractal Design Node 804 MicroATX Mid Tower Case (€110.99 @ Amazon Deutschland) Power Supply: Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (€49.90 @ Caseking) Total: €854.25 The SSDs are used as boot drives (and to store plex metadata and webserver content on) in raid 1 for redundancy. I'm guessing 64 GB will be sufficient. HDDs - I plan on using them in windows storage spaces (two-way mirror) with 2 other 2 TB seagate drives that are in my main system atm. Feel free to convince me to not use storage spaces, I don't see a reason not to after quite some research. Motherboard should have at least 6 SATA ports (more is great), rest is not important. The Case needs to be able to store at least 4 HDDs and 2 SSDs, look clean, be pretty quiet and shouldn't cost too much. It should also be reasonably small if possible... Just picked one now that seemed to fit this description but seems a bit expensive imo (I'm no expert, could be wrong). Can you guys have a look and tell me if you think there are better options? Thanks!

Since it always suggests using a lower than native resolution, no. I agree a single 970 isn't ideal for surround gaming, but it certainly is possible in most games I play.

Well if they're claiming they can't make money out of youtube then why invest in technology that makes processing and storing videos four times as difficult as it is now?

So my i7 3770k runs this at about 10 fps in chrome, doesn't run at all in other browsers Guess it's time for an upgrade /s But seriously this seems like a waste of their own resources to release this now, literally nobody even has an 8k screen, and very few content producers have 8k camera's.

I don't get why people keep asking this. Why wouldn't you?

Not again Oh well guess I'll wait for some deals in europe..

Don't think so, there were apparently 17 pentium processors in the ivy bridge lineup for example but I've never heard of them as well http://ark.intel.com/products/codename/29902/Ivy-Bridge#@All

Hmm that one is almost double the price so I guess I'll go for the pentium. But I just noticed it is on amazon.fr for the same price without discount so I guess I don't have to hurry

Would this be sufficient to be used as home server(webserver/plex server) ? I might pick one up then... Or should I wait until intel launches skylake variant of this (whenever that is)

The youtube offline function seems really useful to me, even though it's only for 48 hours. You couldn't get turn-by-turn navigation and reviews though. Just the map and that was it, at least in my experience.

Hmm... Not sure if it's worth it for me (it's 235 US$) Paid 125€ for my 240 GB 840 evo exactly 13 months ago. At Least it's not a 100$ shipping cost like with last deal lol

I would've bought it if it wasn't for this

Repost http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/327492-youtube-now-supports-360-degree-video-a-vr-video-demo/ Still nice though. Works embedded as well for me

I try to get 60fps at 5760x1080. Since that is impossible at max details with just one GPU I turn the details down till I get that. If I have to turn them down to medium or lower I switch to 1080p at ultra settings which most of the time will get me 60 fps or more. So far I've only done that for far cry 4 though.

Mine just got upgraded for free It should be 200/12 but I'm not complaining

Reminds me of my school last week, they did something similar. But it weren't pcs, it was a huge rack full of hdds. I think there were about 90 of them, but in total it was "only" 11 TB. One guy took most of them, including the controller and an UPS. Seems a bit selfish but they all were fibre channel disks so grabbing a couple wouldn't be worth it as buying something to connect them to your pc would be way too expensive. Anyway if I were you I would use them for backups only as it's probably the only use you have for them knowing you already have 3 decent dirves.

How? Windows just tells me "cannot apply the current monitor configuration" or something along those lines.

Damn, you guys got such complicated networks at home? I won't even bother to make a diagram for mine as it's simple ISP ---> 160/10 connection ---> All-in-one router/wireless AP/switch -> 2 pcs, 1 laptop, a chromecast and 3 phones Honestly this cheap all-in-one we got with our subscription does the thing for me. Atleast when using cable, the wifi is fast but for gaming a bit unreliable, something you don't notice while watching youtube/browsing in general. The only thing that maxes it out is when I have multiple torrents downloading/seeding so my internet speed maxes out, but that rarely happens anyway.
